The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 920
As the butler got the car ready, Mindy herself was already standing in front of what remained of the Schuyler familyâs mansion.
âExcuse me, but have you seen anyone wearing a mask? Heâs about this tall and with his mask down, he has serious burn marks around his eyesâ¦â asked a girl to a random passer-by as she lifted her hand over her head to mimic how tall Sanderson was.
ââ¦No I havenâtâ¦?â replied the confused man.
âBut how could that be possible? He told us heâd come looking for us yet he didnât! He wasnât even at Yorknorth Mountain! Where could he possibly have gone toâ¦? I even tried calling Stella but I canât reach her either! When I went over to her place, it seemed like she had moved out⦠Hey, who do you suppose could tell me where Sanderson wentâ¦?â asked Mindy.
The passer-by himself was stunned to know that she had directed the question at him. Scanning her from head to toe, he then shook his head before running off. How sad that such a beauty sounded so insane.
âWhere could you have gone to, Sandersonâ¦? You⦠You said youâd come back⦠That youâd talk to me in the garden every night⦠You promised⦠I⦠I refuse to believe that you lied to me! Please, Sanderson⦠Youâre my best and only friend⦠You⦠You canât just leave like that⦠Where are youâ¦?â mumbled Mindy to herself.
The only thing on the girlâs mind now was Sanderson. She thought about how simple and gentle he was. How every time she talked to him, he would listen to her attentively, comforting and encouraging her through his gestures.
While it was true that she had first gotten close to him since he looked like he was easily bullied and she wanted to learn sign language, her intent slowly changed over time.
In just those few days of them being together, she had grown dependent on him. What more, since she knew he had risked his life to rescue her and many others, she was well aware that forgetting him would be near impossible now.
After waiting for quite some time, Mindy eventually leaned against a wall before squatting down.
âWhere are you, Sandersonâ¦?â
When she had earlier gone to Yorknorth Mountain, neither Master Jenkinson nor Sanderson was present. Stellaâs place, on the other hand, seemed to have been completely deserted. Since she never picked up any of Mindyâs calls, Mindy wasnât even sure if the rest of Stellaâs family had left together or without her.
In short, Mindy couldnât even contact the last person who couldâve possibly seen Sanderson.
âJust⦠Please be safe, Sandersonâ¦!â pleaded Mindy silently.
After a while longer, Mindy got up. She was feeling far too uneasy to be moping around here when she could still be searching for Sanderson.
Opting to search for him by walking around instead of getting in her car, she felt a new determination in her to search for him. To search for the man who had managed to spark hope in her again after living on this planet for over twenty years.
She had simply lost too much of her childhood. Mindy had no friends, nor did she have any meaningful relationships with anyone outside of her family for the longest time. Sanderson was the embodiment of everything she had ever longed for.
Mindy didnât care if he was ugly, nor did it matter to her that he couldnât even speak properly. None of that was important to her.
What mattered most was the fact that Sanderson was a person who understood her. A person who was always around whenever she was upset. A person she could feel secure with.
Her focus wavered as she continued thinking about him, not even noticing that she was crossing an open roadâ¦
She only returned to her senses when she heard the loud revving of an engine. Turning to look at the source of the sound, she was petrified to see a huge lorry speeding toward her!
The driver himself had been yawning, yet the moment he saw her, it was already far too late. Even though he stepped on the brakes, he knew he was in deep trouble the moment he heard the sound of a sickening collision.
Following that, Mindyâs frail body flew quite a distance away before landing heavily on the ground. The phone she was holding on to earlier fell even further away, its screen now completely cracked.
A keychain of what seemed like a tiny man with a mask on could be seen hanging at the end of her phone. It was clear who it resembledâ¦
