The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1261-1270
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1261
Even if any of them had personal opinions on the matter, none of them dared to speak a word. After all, while it was true that they would receive no shortage of awards and recognition should they succeed in saving the children, failure to save them would surely result in them being painted as a villain.
There was simply no way that any of them were going to willingly become a scapegoat.
“…Does nobody have anything to say at all…?” asked Zane, his tone rightfully urgent as he scanned through all the present doctors.
Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever he turned to look at any of them.
Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to end soon…
However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “I have a few ideas.”
Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the room immediately turned to see who had spoken. The individual in question had been sitting quietly in the corner of the conference room this entire time. If he hadn’t spoken up, there was a high chance that everyone would’ve simply continued ignoring him.
Regardless, everyone was confused as to why he was the one who had spoken up. After all, everyone had been under the assumption that he was simply one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices, drivers, or even secretaries.
“…Say, who even is he?”
“Isn’t he just one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices…?”
“I don’t think so! From what I remember, Dr. Mabb only has two of them!”
While everyone was currently discussing among themselves as they looked at Gerald, Gerald himself paid them no attention. The important thing was that he had already witnessed all that had been shown on screen earlier.
With the addition of rapid organ failure to the list of symptoms, Gerald was already a hundred percent certain that the Soul Eater technique had been the cause of all this.
However, it was evident that the person who had used the technique on the babies had only roughly mastered it. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch that the person had been using it on the babies as practice!
After all, had the person achieved mastery over the Soul Eater technique like Gerald had, then the babies would have definitely been sucked dry before turning into ashes, just like what had happened to Hendrik and the others!
Gerald himself had only been able to master it that quickly since he had previously undergone training—to hasten learning processes—together with Finnley. It was how he had regained his strength after Queena sealed his inner strength.
Regardless, to think that someone would actually practice the vicious technique on babies… The thought of it alone caused an extremely ugly expression to form on Gerald’s face.
However, he wasn’t the only one angry. The truth was that all the doctors had been feeling slightly angry and contemptuous toward Gerald the moment he said he had an idea.
“Do you already have a solution to treating this strange illness, Mr. Crawford?” asked Jace in surprise as he instantly bowed respectfully at Gerald.
Seeing how respectfully Dr. Mabb was treating the young man, all of them could immediately tell that the young man wasn’t his driver. What on earth was going on here…?
Zane—being a bit more experienced than the rest—immediately sensed that something was up. Looking at Gerald, he then said, “Do you have something in mind, young man?”
“Indeed I do,” replied Gerald, ignoring all the stares from the other doctors. His priority was to save the lives of all those babies, and being looked at contemptuously was nothing new to him anyway.
Now that he had everyone’s attention, he casually said, “The truth is, this isn’t an illness at all. The babies are currently in such a state since someone had drained them of their oxyblood, resulting in their organs failing! Due to their organs being in such poor condition, the babies are currently susceptible to infections!”
The second Gerald’s sentence ended, an uproar immediately broke out! Truth be told, several of the doctors wanted to laugh, but they refrained since they were currently facing such a serious situation.
“Young man, I heard Dr. Mabb calling you Mr. Crawford, so let’s just go with that. Regardless, I wonder if you’ve been watching too many movies. Please refrain from spouting nonsense when you don’t even understand what is going on here! Someone drained the babies’ oxyblood? Are you suggesting that we have a vampire on the loose? What more, the babies are new-borns who’ve never left the NCIU! Actually, do you even know what NCIU stands for? Since you probably don’t, it stands for Neonatal Care Unit! As an extra trivia, the air inside it is completely isolated!”
“To think that I had initially thought that you would actually provide us with a viable suggestion. As it turns out, you know nothing at all! Imagine if news about this gets published to the public! Society would definitely fall into disarray! Who even is this guy, Dr. Mabb?” asked one of the doctors as he continued glaring at Gerald.
“Please, just settle down for a minute, everyone!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1262
Jace quickly attempted to persuade the others to calm down before things escalated too quickly.
To be quite honest, even he had been surprised to hear Gerald say that someone had drained the babies of their oxyblood. It was a statement he hadn’t heard of before.
Even so, he had witnessed Gerald’s skills and abilities before, so Jace trusted that Gerald knew what he was doing.
“Hah! See, Dr. Mabb? I already told you that his feat earlier was just a coincidence! He’s not really capable at all! Being so young, what would he know? You’d think he was here to act in some movie after hearing his explanation!” muttered Walbridge unhappily.
Though he hadn’t said that in a particularly loud voice, everyone in the conference room could hear what he had just said.
It was obvious that Walbridge was jealous of Gerald. After all, he had seen the way Breanna—his long-time crush who was also his junior—looked at Gerald earlier. That was certainly the last straw for him!
Infuriated by him, Walbridge had had the constant urge to humiliate Gerald in public.
Upon hearing what his apprentice had to say, Jace’s expression instantly turned gloomy as he turned to look at Walbridge before saying, “Quiet, Walbridge! I believe there must be a reason for Mr. Crawford to have said all that! Let’s just see what else Mr. Crawford has to say first! What if his deduction is actually correct?”
Gerald himself now had a sour expression on his face. Anyone would feel dissatisfied after being criticized and humiliated in such a way.
“There are still many things all of you do not know about the world!” replied Gerald coldly.
“…If I may, is there a cure for all this, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Jace, choosing to believe in Gerald.
“There is. Acupuncture and medication can be used to condition their bodies. Even so, we have to act quickly. Once the babies’ organs completely fail, they won’t be able to be saved any longer!”
“Do you have any idea how hasty you’re being? You can’t just treat the lives of over a hundred children like jokes, Dr. Mabb! He’s just some young boy who barely has any experience! What would he know in this situation?!” shouted another doctor in rage.
“Do you have any better ideas, then?” asked Jace coldly in return.
“While I don’t, we still can’t take this situation so lightly! Also, giving medication to new-borns? What would happen if their condition worsens after taking the medication? You, of all people, should know that these babies can’t take much more! With that in mind, we shouldn’t be playing around with their health until we’re entirely sure we can help them!” reasoned another person who felt that allowing Gerald to treat the new-borns was no different from giving him permission to toy around with their health.
Zane himself was now looking at Gerald, wondering whether to trust in him or not. Though Gerald’s explanation sounded dubious at best, there was just something about the determination and clarity in Gerald’s eyes that gave others a strong sense of conviction.
Was Gerald really that sure of his answer?
After thinking for a bit, Zane made his decision. Since nobody else had any better ideas anyway, what choice did he have but to place in trust in Gerald?
“…Let him have a go,” said Zane.
“…Come again? You’re actually letting him try? Then who’s going to bear the responsibility if something goes awry?!”
“I am!” shouted Jace, Zane, and Gerald simultaneously.
Following that, all three of them couldn’t help but turn to look at each other.
“…Fine then! Since all three of you have agreed to take full responsibility over this incident, so be it!”
Since there were now fools willing to take responsibility over the matter, everyone no longer had anything to say. Gerald could try all he wanted to!
If it wasn’t obvious enough by now, these doctors frankly didn’t care whether the babies lived or died as long as they could protect their own interests!
“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider this, Dr. Mabb? We really shouldn’t be acting so hastily! We’re placing over a hundred lives on the line here! It isn’t just a single Lady Smith anymore!” said Walbridge whose jealousy had spiked now that the dean was also on Gerald’s side. How was that even possible?
Walbridge honestly couldn’t believe that his master was still buying into Gerald’s nonsense. How could Dr. Mabb even be confused by such incoherent ramblings?
Much to Walbridge’s surprise, Jace immediately glared at him before declaring, “Walbridge, you… I was wrong about you…!”
Stunned, Walbridge then replied, “…What? I… I just don’t want your reputation to go down the drain, doctor! After all, you’re a genius doctor!”
“Never have I ever thought of myself as a genius doctor… That’s only a title my patients gave me. Walbridge, I’ll have you know that if my reputation was all I needed to save these patients, then I’d gladly throw all of it away! You’re a thirty-year-old man who’s already been studying medicine for so many years, Walbridge… How is your way of thinking still so wrong? If you continue going down this path, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to achieve a thing in the medical world!” said Jace as he sighed in disappointment.
His face now green with envy, Walbridge then shouted, “…W-whatever the case is, I still don’t believe that he’ll be able to cure the children!”
“And what if I’m able to?” asked Gerald as he stared coldly at Walbridge.
That guy had been coming at him this entire time and it was starting to annoy Gerald…
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1263
“Hah! What do you even mean by that? Fine then. If you successfully cure the illness, then I’ll do anything you order me to!” scoffed Walbridge.
From how casually he had made that decision, it was evident that he thought that it was going to be impossible for Gerald to save all those babies who were already near death.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded before heading off to the isolation room together with Jace and the dean.
Only three people were allowed to enter this time, and Gerald had a change of clothes before setting foot into the isolation room with the duo from before.
By then, all the babies had already stopped crying, and the room was eerily silent. From a glance, Gerald could see that not only were their complexions dark, but their bodies all looked swollen. Even the babies’ lips appeared cracked.
Seeing those symptoms and how close those babies were to death, Gerald confirmed that it truly was the effects of the Soul Eater technique! From what he could guess from the damage done, the babies must have only experienced a third of the Soul Eater technique’s power.
His deduction explained why their bodies were all looking so swollen. It was due to all the water in their bodies being sapped right out. With barely any means to cool their internal organs down, high fevers were simply inevitable!
“…How utterly cruel…!” growled Gerald under his breath.
If Gerald truly wished to heal them, he knew that acupuncture alone wasn’t going to be sufficient. In order to ensure that there was going to be a smooth flow of oxyblood pellets within them in the future, Gerald had no choice but to use the Soul Eater technique to make up for their lost oxyblood.
However, he was also aware that the second he did that, his identity would surely be exposed since he hadn’t found the Zircobsite yet. Once that happened, Queena would definitely come running over to hunt him down. Should he get caught, he knew he wouldn’t even come close to rivaling her strength.
Gritting his teeth, Gerald reminded himself that even if that was going to be the case, it was still more important to save these lives. Since Gerald had already drained the oxyblood of several adults before this, he knew that he probably had enough to save all of them. As for revealing his location to Queena… He could still use the blood in the jade talisman to deal with that for at least another night.
Since Queena was at her most fragile now, she shouldn’t be as scary as she previously had been! With that in mind, Gerald immediately began taking action.
Standing before the baby closest to him, Gerald took a single silver needle and began rapidly—but lightly—pricking on multiple spots on the baby’s chest. The spots were by no means random, and all eighteen areas that he pricked were part of the heavenly meridian, the core meridian, and the prime meridian.
