The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 922
It wasnât long before they arrived at Mayberry Station.
After stealthily slipping the bank card into her pocket, Gerald hailed a cab for her. He wasnât worried about her not being able to use it since she had already known what the password was, even from back when they were still in university. The password itself was just his birth date.
âArenât you coming along with us, Gerald?â asked Naomi as she rolled the cabâs window down.
âIâll be on my own from here! Farewell, Naomi!â replied Gerald with a wave as the cab began driving off.
Sticking her head out the window, Naomi then shouted, âGerald, please! I donât care if we end up having a lot of money or not! Letâs just stick together and get married! Weâll find jobs together in Mayberry city and from there, weâll be able to support ourselves just fine in the future! Iâm sure of it! If Mayberry isnât to your liking, then⦠Then letâs just live in the countryside! Weâll get a small place of our own⦠Settle down, then live the rest of our lives ordinarily and in comfort! Are you hearing any of this?â
âWhatâs that? I canât hear you! Regardless, travel safely and remember to live well!â yelled Gerald in return as he waved his hand.
âI said, why donât both of us get married? Canât we? I donât mind it at all! Sir, please stop the car!â yelled Naomi anxiously when she realized that Gerald couldnât hear what she was saying.
However, no matter how much she pleaded, the driver simply wouldnât stop the car. Taking in a deep breath, the cab driver tapped on the money in his pocket that Gerald had given him before stepping on the accelerator.
Even after the cab was no longer in sight, Gerald found it hard to stop waving.
Of course he had heard her. He had heard every single word she had said extremely clearly.
Though a normal life was honestly what he had always yearned for after getting rich, he knew he wouldnât be able to achieve that. Not until he found Mila again.
As long as she remained missing, he had absolutely no intention of starting a new Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter in his life.
Even though he was well aware of that, why was he feeling so reluctant to part with Naomi this time�
Thinking about it for a while, he realized that it mustâve been because he was quite sure that he would never be able to see her ever againâ¦
Shaking his head, he slipped on a mask and cap before hailing another cab.
âWhere to?â asked the cab driver to the man wearing the black sweater who had most of his face covered up.
âTo the hospital!â replied Gerald immediately.
Arriving shortly after, Gerald looked through the glass window of Felicityâs ward. Attached to a ventilator, the girl lying on the bed had an extremely pale complexion.
As he continued looking at her, Gerald recalled how lively the girl used to be. If only she hadnât met him, she wouldâve probably still been living a good life now. After all, she was a natural beauty who could definitely become a world-famous internet celebrity with ease.
Things couldâve gone so much differently⦠She couldâve lived her life happily! Yet here she was in a hospital, a complete vegetable after being tossed off a building. The worst thing was, she was only in such a state because she was trying to locate him.
Gerald could only imagine how she mustâve felt while looking for him on the day all this happened. How worried both she and Naomi mustâve looked as they waited at that hotelâs lobby.
To think that their glimmer of hope would end up becoming Felicityâs greatest misfortune yet.
Jett truly was a ruthless person.
In his devastated state, Gerald could only press his hand hard against the wardâs door as he tried to calm himself. He applied so much force that he was sure that even his fingerprints had already been imprinted deeply into the wooden door at this point.
âHey! Youâre a weird person, you know that? Are you planning to go in or arenât you? Youâre blocking the entrance!â said an angry voice at that moment.
Turning around to look at who had said that, Gerald saw a fuming nurse who had a tray in her hands.
Though he was wearing a mask, the nurse could clearly see all the strong emotions that were reflected in his teary eyes. She was so stunned to see that, that she almost dropped her tray as she watched the man wipe his tears away.
ââ¦Here, take this and listen closely. This piece of paper contains very specific acupuncture instructions as well as a herbal prescription. Once you and the doctor fully understand the method, use it to save this girlâs life!â said Gerald as he placed the prescription on the nurseâs tray.
After saying that, he simply slid both his hands into his pockets before walking away.
