Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 648
Queta’s face was as white as a sheet when Gerald saw her in the ward. She looked terribly weak. Thankfully, just as
Lisa had said, she had already regained consciousness.
“How are you feeling?” asked Gerald as he walked toward her bed.
“I’m not too sure either… At the time, without any warning, it simply felt like all the blood had been drained from
my body. My vision went dark and the next thing I knew, I had already fainted,” said Queta in a soft voice.
“And what did the doctor say?”
“See, that’s why both of us are so anxious. While a few doctors have discussed her condition, they still haven’t been
able to detect the cause of her illness! At the moment, none of them even dare to continue treating her yet!” said
Lisa.
Hearing that, Queta’s eyes began watering slightly. After all, even she was slightly terrified.
Regardless of how strong she usually was, facing such a situation was still going to be hard on her.

After stepping out of the ward, he immediately contacted the Drake & Tyson duo. They were ordered to send in the
professional medical team from the base.
The duo wasted no time after receiving their order and not too long after, the professional medical team arrived at
the scene.
Since everyone from the team was quite famous, it was certain that the hospital would give their full cooperation
with them.
After a two-hour check-up session, the medical team approached Gerald, looking rather glum.
“Mr. Crawford, it saddens us to say that we haven’t encountered symptoms like the ones Miss Smith is currently
experiencing before this. Even though we’ve used both Western and Chinese medicinal means to attempt to
diagnose Miss Smith’s illness, we’ve still failed to make any progress,” said a few members of the medical team as
they shook their heads.
“What? Even you’ve reached a dead end?” replied Gerald, feeling greatly disappointed.
“Apologies, sir. Might I suggest calling the medicinal team from your family instead? They have higher medical skills
than we do!” added an experienced and rather old looking Chinese medicine practitioner in a shameful voice. He
seemed to be their leader.
“Alright, I got it. You may leave now!” said Gerald as he nodded slightly.
While he hadn’t been able to confirm his true relationship with Queta yet, Gerald still treated her like his younger
sister. Even if she ended up not being related to him, Gerald would still consider her to be a close friend.
Now that she was in trouble, how could Gerald just sit back and do nothing?
“Please take care of Queta for the moment, Lisa. I’ll try to think of something!” said Gerald.
“I will, Mr. Crawford.”
Gerald then made his way back to his hotel. Once he got there, he started sending out orders and making
arrangements for Zack and the others.
Zack was placed in charge of looking up the family’s famous doctor.
He also called his father to notify him about the incident.
However, just as Gerald was about to leave again, he was immediately greeted to the sight of someone squatting
right outside his hotel room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe old person was even holding on to a sack that seemed to contain a blanket and his luggage.
Of course, the person in question was none other than Finnley the old man.
“My grandson, what were you up to today? Didn’t you say that you’d go home today?” said Finnley as he smiled
happily when he saw Gerald.
He then stood up while still holding on to his sack.
Scanning Finnley briefly from head to toe, Gerald noticed that the old man had even stolen a blanket belonging to
the hotel!
“Finnley, I hate to disappoint, but I really don’t have the time to send you home now. I have too many things on my
hand at the moment… How about this? If you really want to go home now, I’ll just order someone to drive you back
to the Salford Province first,” said Gerald rather impatiently.
Gerald currently had a lot on his plate, and he was clearly feeling the immense pressure.
He knew that if anything were to happen to Queta, he would feel extremely uneasy when he actually looked for that
woman later on.
“I refuse! You told me that you’d send me home in person!” said Finnley as he shook his head.
“Fine, but you’ll have to wait for a few more days then. Something’s happened to my best friend so I can’t afford to
go yet!” replied Gerald.
Just as Gerald was about to leave, Finnley firmly grabbed on to Gerald’s shoulder out of the blue.
“Hmm? Something’s not right… My grandson, who did you meet today?”
