The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 921

As the muffled wailing of ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance, Mindy found herself slowly losing consciousness.

“…San…derson…”

Meanwhile, a young man sitting inside an express train clutched his chest all of a sudden as he shuddered.

“What’s wrong?” asked a girl sitting close to him out of concern.

“…It’s nothing. My heart just felt tight all of a sudden… The feeling’s gone now, though. How odd…” replied the man with a wry smile on his face.

He then turned to look at the girl before saying, “Speaking of which, here, you can have this. Once you settle down in Mayberry and get a job there, together with the money in this card, you should be able to live easy for the rest of your life!”

As he said that, he handed a bank card over to the girl.

“I can’t take this, Gerald! As long as I manage to land a job, my life will already be pretty manageable! You, on the other hand, definitely need the money more than I do!” replied the girl as she immediately returned the card to Gerald.

It was obvious that the girl was none other than Naomi.

“She’s right, Gerald. Not only do you need it more than we do, but we should be the ones giving you money instead! After all, you cured me without even asking for anything in return!” added Naomi’s mother.

“It’s honestly fine. It’s not like I’ll be using much money from now on anyway. I’ve already done too many things… Haha…” replied Gerald with a bitter smile on his face.

“Why would you say such a thing, Gerald…? Actually, you haven’t even told me the full story as to why you no longer have anything to do with the Crawfords!” said Naomi, a hint of worry in her voice.

“Honestly at this point, it’s better for you not to know, Naomi. As they say, ignorance is bliss,” replied Gerald as he gently patted her on the head.

Gerald was now returning to Mayberry since he wanted to visit an old friend. That, however, wasn’t his only goal there. He had something else planned once he got there…

Regarding the bank card, it was honestly more of a burden to him at this point. As he thought about it, he felt that life truly was intriguing.

After all, back before all this had happened, he had also taken a train to Mayberry city. Back then, he had assumed that he would be able to face his university life with a new attitude. That he would no longer need to live with such terrible self-esteem as he had during middle and high school due to him being so poor.

Things, however, hardly changed at all. As it turned out, as long as he was poor, things would never change for him, or at least that was the conclusion his past-self came to. His past-self yearned for riches. As long as he was rich, he would’ve been able to have a decent life, and maybe even flattered by those poorer than him.

However, when he actually inherited the money, the old Gerald found that he didn’t really enjoy showing his wealth off as much as he had thought. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Upon finding out that he already had all the riches in the world, his desire for fame simply vanished. Instead, he wanted to live a plain and simple life. After getting to know Mila, his end goal was to get married to her and maybe have a child or two, preferably a boy and a girl. His ideal life was one that was carefree, and one where he would be able to relax in Mila’s arms every day till they eventually passed on.

A dream that truly was. Now that Mila was still missing, riches meant little to him. He simply lost all desire to have any money anymore.

“…You’ve changed, you know, Gerald…” said Naomi out of the blue.

“…Hmm? How so?”

“Well, I can’t put my finger on it, but from the moment I met you again after so long, I could already tell that you were very different compared to the Gerald I used to know… The one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is your kindness toward me. Even after all this time, you still treat me so well!”

“But of course! You’re my good friend!”

“Since you still see me as a friend, then please, Gerald… Please share your thoughts with me whenever you feel troubled… I know there’s a lot on your mind right now, and I’m also aware that you’re no longer the rich heir you used to be… Hell, I feel that once your return to Mayberry this time, big changes are going to happen soon… Regardless of all that, I want you to know that whatever happens, you’ll always be my best friend! I won’t pry into what you’re planning to do any further, but please keep in mind that I’m someone you can share your problems with…” said Naomi.

Upon saying that, she placed the bank card into Gerald’s hand once more before adding, “…Which is why I simply can’t accept the money. Hold on to it! Who knows, you could make a comeback in Mayberry City! I could be your assistant, you know?”

“Naomi, believe me when I say I truly don’t need this money… In all honesty, I don’t even know if I’ll have the chance to return here in the future once I’m done with what I’ve set out to do!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.

“…What? What do you mean by that? What exactly do you plan to do?” asked Naomi in despair.

Hushing her slowly, he then said, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that you’ll be terrified after hearing it. You said you weren’t going to pry any further, didn’t you?”

Though she really wanted to ask more, she remained silent in the end, knowing full well that she wouldn’t get any answers.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 922

It wasn’t long before they arrived at Mayberry Station.

After stealthily slipping the bank card into her pocket, Gerald hailed a cab for her. He wasn’t 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.

“Aren’t you coming along with us, Gerald?” asked Naomi as she rolled the cab’s window down.

“I’ll be on my own from here! Farewell, Naomi!” replied Gerald with a wave as the cab began driving off.

Sticking her head out the window, Naomi then shouted, “Gerald, please! I don’t care if we end up having a lot of money or not! Let’s just stick together and get married! We’ll find jobs together in Mayberry city and from there, we’ll be able to support ourselves just fine in the future! I’m sure of it! If Mayberry isn’t to your liking, then… Then let’s just live in the countryside! We’ll 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?”

“What’s that? I can’t hear you! Regardless, travel safely and remember to live well!” yelled Gerald in return as he waved his hand.

“I said, why don’t both of us get married? Can’t we? I don’t mind it at all! Sir, please stop the car!” yelled Naomi anxiously when she realized that Gerald couldn’t hear what she was saying.

However, no matter how much she pleaded, the driver simply wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 must’ve been because he was quite sure that he would never be able to see her ever again…

Shaking his head, he slipped on a mask and cap before hailing another cab.

“Where to?” asked the cab driver to the man wearing the black sweater who had most of his face covered up.

“To the hospital!” replied Gerald immediately.

Arriving shortly after, Gerald looked through the glass window of Felicity’s 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 hadn’t met him, she would’ve 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 could’ve gone so much differently… She could’ve 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 must’ve felt while looking for him on the day all this happened. How worried both she and Naomi must’ve looked as they waited at that hotel’s lobby.

To think that their glimmer of hope would end up becoming Felicity’s greatest misfortune yet.

Jett truly was a ruthless person.

In his devastated state, Gerald could only press his hand hard against the ward’s 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.

“Hey! You’re a weird person, you know that? Are you planning to go in or aren’t you? You’re blocking the entrance!” 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.

“…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 girl’s life!” said Gerald as he placed the prescription on the nurse’s tray.

After saying that, he simply slid both his hands into his pockets before walking away.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 923

Just as he arrived at the hotel’s lobby, a girl who just so happened to be running in his direction seemed to lose balance as she sprained her ankle!

Before she could even hit the ground, however, in one swift swoop, Gerald managed to catch on to her.

“Oh my god! That was such a close call! T-thank you, handsome!” thanked the girl as she immediately straightened her messy hair after being helped up by Gerald.

Looking at him, however, she couldn’t help but feel that the man who had just saved her from a world of pain felt a little strange.

Though he looked mysterious enough with his mask and cap on, his gaze felt oddly familiar yet foreign at the same time.

Furthermore, the young man only replied with a nod instead of saying anything.

As she wondered if she had seen him before, Gerald himself couldn’t help but stare at her for a little while longer. After all, he knew who she was.

“…Could… We perhaps be acquainted?” asked the girl with a smile.

In response, Gerald shook his head.

“I see… Well, regardless, thank you for breaking my fall!” replied the girl with a laugh.

“How did it go, Leila?” asked a rather handsome person wearing a suit at that moment as he walked over to them.

“Oh, the physical exam? I’ve completed it of course! By the way, get this! I was just about to go looking for you when I nearly tripped over!” said the girls as she locked arms with the man rather intimately.

“If you truly did end up tripping and hurting yourself, how would I even begin explaining things to Uncle Jung?” replied the man with a laugh.

The girl, of course, was none other than Leila.

“Oh, right! This here’s the handsome fellow who saved me!” added Leila as she looked at Gerald.

“Why thank you, brother! I’m the doctor in charge of this hospital, so do let me know if there’s anything I can ever help you with!” replied Leila’s boyfriend as he nodded toward Gerald with a smile.

Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before walking away.

However, he couldn’t help but recall how Leila used to be before all this happened.

To think that he had used to like her when he was much younger. After all, the poor child he was back then always thought that she was the most beautiful of them all. She always dressed so well back then too.

Though they shared a somewhat ambiguous relationship in later years, after his six-month disappearance, Gerald could now see that Leila had already moved on. She now had her own life, and she seemed to be doing pretty well. That was all that mattered to him.

“That guy was pretty strange!” muttered the young man as he stared at Gerald’s slowly disappearing back.

“He is! However, he feels awfully familiar as well… I know I’ve definitely met him someplace before but I just can’t put my finger on it!” replied Leila with a frown.

“What are both of you doing, standing here?”

“Ah! You’ve finally come out, Jacelyn?” said Leila as she turned to look at the fashionable girl standing behind them.

“Well I did take a few extra examinations… After all, I’ll be getting married next month! Got to make sure that I’m as fit as a fiddle! Haha!” replied Jacelyn with a happy hum.

However, she couldn’t help but feel startled the moment she looked in the direction Leila had been looking at earlier. She had just managed to catch a glimpse of Gerald’s back before it disappeared completely as a door shut behind him.

“Hmm? Could it be… That you find him familiar too, Jacelyn? Or maybe you’re just attracted to his fit body? Heh! I know you well now after spending so much time with you in Mayberry! You just can’t help yourself whenever you meet handsome guys, can you?” said Leila with a chuckle.
