Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 897
“…Senior?”
Everyone now had their mouths gaping wide. The mighty master, Joshua Jenkinson… Did he really just call that
pauper his senior?!
While even Naomi was slightly surprised, the ones who were left the most stupefied were those from the Legh
family.
“Good day. I just came here today to borrow your place for a bit,” said Gerald in resignation. Though he wasn’t sure
whether he should’ve let Joshua address him as his senior, it was too late for Joshua to retract the title anyway.
“By all means, please use my facilities as you see fit, senior!” replied Joshua with utmost respect in his voice.
As Gerald, Naomi, and her mother moved on, those from the Westley family could only look at each other in
dismay, deeply shocked.
Just as the old man had thought, the youth truly was extremely extraordinary.
About half an hour later, Naomi was anxiously pacing to and fro outside a guest room door. She had been sweating

“Humph! I just can’t bring myself to believe that that guy actually knows how to treat illnesses!” growled Quest as
he crossed his arms.
Aside from Naomi, the three Westleys were waiting behind her as well.
Quest’s dissatisfaction was clear as day. After all, not only had he been humiliated by Gerald in terms of strength,
but as it turned out, Gerald was also proficient in treating others!
Since he was used to being arrogant and ruthless, the embarrassment he suffered today had no doubt left his pride
in shambles.
“Shut up!” said Master Westley coldly in response.
Bob had simply assumed that Gerald was being rude when he was earlier told that Master Jenkinson wouldn’t be
able to cure his illness.
However, from the moment he heard Master Jenkinson addressing Gerald as his senior, Bob Westley began fearing
that what Gerald had claimed was true. That even Master Jenkinson wouldn’t be able to help cure him.
It was due to that fear that Bob had waited respectfully for Gerald outside the guest room.
The moment Gerald stepped out, Naomi immediately rushed over to him before asking in an anxious voice, “How’s
my mom’s condition, Gerald?”
“She should fully recover in three months if she takes her herbal medicine as prescribed,” replied Gerald with a
smile.
“Thank god… Speaking of which, when did you learn how to treat illnesses?” asked Naomi, feeling both delighted
and surprised. After all, the Gerald currently standing before her felt almost foreign compared to the one she used
to know.
“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you if there’s a chance for me to in the future. For now, go on inside and have a
look at your mom,” replied Gerald.
As soon as he said that, Joshua himself stepped out of the room with a needle bag in hand. From the looks of it, it
was evident that Gerald had been the main doctor this time around. At most, Joshua must have only assisted him
throughout the half-hour period.
“Senior, please!” said Joshua respectfully while handing the bag of needles over to Gerald.
Looking back at Joshua, Gerald could only sigh internally.
It was about five months ago when he had first met Joshua. At the time, Finnley was still busy teaching Gerald all his
medical and martial art skills.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe old man had even given Gerald a medical book, and Gerald was told to memorize all its contents. Since he was
excellent at learning, it wasn’t difficult for Gerald to completely grasp the concepts within that book.
In fact, all it took was a month for him to be able to recall the contents of the medical book by heart. However,
though his theory was strong, his actual skill in handling medicine was far from perfect at the time.
Joshua first made his appearance around then.
From the way Joshua had begged Finnley to take him in again, it seemed that the old man had once taught medical
knowledge to Joshua sometime in the past.
It was clear that he simply wanted to deepen his knowledge and skills, and he was extremely persistent. After
kneeling outside Finnley’s house for an entire day and night, the old man simply couldn’t bear seeing him like that.
As a result, he told Gerald to teach Joshua some of the contents in the medical book. Finnley had hoped that by
doing so, Gerald himself would be able to master the basic application skills.
While he allowed Gerald to educate Joshua for about a month, Finnley himself never took Joshua in as his
apprentice. Due to that, Joshua habitually addressed Gerald as his senior even though Gerald told him not to.
“Mr. Crawford! Master Jenkinson! Both of you have worked hard!” said Bob respectfully as he approached both
men.
“I’m sure you’ve already heard from my senior earlier but just to clarify, I’m aware of your illness, Master Westley.
Even so, I have to admit that I truly am incapable of curing you,” replied Joshua rather ashamedly.
