Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 904
After seeing him nod, Mindy then said, âGo ahead and check on Jasmine first. Since sheâs trained a lot recently, itâs probably the same issue again. Iâll wait for you here tomorrow night so that we can chat again!â said Mindy.
Gerald then nodded in agreement as he began following the female servant to Jasmineâs room with his medical kit in hand. Once they got there, Gerald was greeted by the sight of Jasmine wearing a sling nightgown.
Her hair hung loosely around her shoulders and her goddess-like appearance made Gerald momentarily stunned.
âSince you were with Master Jenkinson for most of the morning, I felt that it would be rude to bother you then. Iâm afraid I can only ask for your help at night,â said Jasmine with a faint smile on her face.
âAh! Ah!â replied Gerald as he gestured his response, an indication that he didnât think much about it.
Seeing that, Jasmine sat down before saying, âI appreciate it⦠See, my shoulderâs been aching occasionally ever since it got hurt sometime in the past. Since my training has intensified recently, the aching has gotten more frequent and also more painfulâ¦â
Hearing that, Gerald gestured with his hands as though he was asking her how her shoulder got hurt in the first place.
âLetâs just say that a friend of mine accidentally hurt me⦠It was back during a Taekwondo championship⦠I had underestimated him, so due to my carelessness, I was flung out of the ring! In the process of breaking the fall, my left shoulder received substantial damage⦠Ever since that day, the ache never truly went away,â explained Jasmine.
Gerald was gently rubbing her left shoulder at the time, and after hearing her full explanation, he felt a shiver run down his spine.
âThe one who caused the injury⦠It was me, wasnât it? To think that sheâs had this pain on her shoulder this entire time⦠Now that sheâs asking me to treat her, Iâm not even sure if itâs godâs will anymoreâ¦â
After a brief examination, Gerald gave her a thumbs up before mimicking the action of holding a needle. Essentially, he was saying that after he performed acupuncture on her a few times, she should feel as good as new.
âIs that so? Thank you, sir! While weâre at it, could I please request to not address you as sir? For some embarrassing reason, I feel rather uneasy to say it⦠Could I just call you Sanderson?â asked Jasmine with a subtle smile on her face.
Upon seeing his nod, Jasmine then asked, âYouâve always been staying by Master Jenkinsonâs side, right? Donât you ever get bored? When I saw you atop the mountain that morning, it seemed that you didnât have many friends either. After all, aside from the lively Mindy, not many people actually took the time to talk to you, is my deduction correct?â
For some odd reason, Jasmine felt that she could open up a bit more to Sanderson. He simply exuded an aura that made her feel safe to talk about such things. He made her feel assured.
While Jasmine had to admit that she was late in getting involved with society, she still felt that she was quite good at judging people.
At the very least, she was definitely sure that Sanderson didnât make her feel like the other men she had previously met. Unlike the obscene looks those men usually gave her, Sandersonâs gazes were soothing.
What more, since Sanderson couldnât speak properly, she could speak her mind without having to worry about Sanderson blabbering out what she had told him. He was essentially the total opposite of Mindy.
All this contributed to Jasmine sincerely wanting to chat more with Gerald.
In response to her previous question, Gerald simply nodded.
âYouâve been living out there this entire time, Sanderson⦠Do you have any idea what love feels like? I donât mean anything by that, Iâm just curiousâ¦â
âWhat on earth is wrong with these two sisters tonightâ¦? To think that both of them had the same topic in mind to talk to me aboutâ¦â Gerald thought to himself as he shook his head.
âI see⦠Well that makes the both of us⦠While Iâve not been in a relationship before, I may have found myself having a crush on somebody⦠Though I say that, Iâm not even sure when I started having feelings for himâ¦â said Jasmine in a soft tone.
As Gerald listened on, she continued, âMaybe⦠Just maybe⦠Could these feelings for him have sprouted the moment he tossed me out of that ring? Or perhaps it was when he had saved me⦠How curious⦠Ah!â
Nearing the end of her sentence, Jasmine let out a tiny yelp as she felt an acute pain on her shoulder.
Immediately lifting his hands from her shoulder, he lowered his head in apology.
âIâm fine, donât worry. Just continue, Sanderson,â replied Jasmine with a smile.
