Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 898
“I did indeed hear that, yes. However, since Mr. Crawford was able to notice my illness with just a simple glance, I’m
sure he has a way to cure it!” said Bob, a faint smile on his face.
“I apologize, but I’m no doctor. I don’t have the qualifications to treat you,” replied Gerald.
Since Gerald was now still susceptible to outside dangers, he was trying his best not to be overly conspicuous. It
hadn’t crossed his mind that Bob would actually wait for him right outside the guest room.
“Hey, now! Have some self-awareness! Are you even aware that my grandpa’s never begged anybody for help?
He’s even addressing you as Mr. Crawford out of respect! At least try to help him out!” growled Quest coldly.
Hearing that, Gerald turned to look at the youth with a frown on his face.
“Don’t be rude, Quest!” scolded Bob.
“I’m terribly sorry Mr. Crawford… If my grandson’s rude behavior offended you, I’m willing to apologize for his
sake…” said the old man as he slowly began bowing.
Both Quest and the aloof beauty were immediately stunned silent. They had never seen their grandpa behaving this

Before Bob could properly bow, however, he was stopped by Gerald.
“I’ll let it slide, Master Westley. Since we ended up getting acquainted with each other, I’m sure that fate has a role
in all of this. I’ll have a look at your illness though I won’t promise positive results,” replied Gerald.
Gerald had realized by now that since it would be inconvenient for him to look for members of the Crawford family,
he may as well use this chance to get to know more distinguished people. After all, it was near impossible to make
any progress without the aid of large families.
With any luck, he would be able to gain enough forces and influence to deal with the Moldell family properly in the
future.
“T-thank you so much, Mr. Crawford!” said Bob happily.
“Before you thank me, I need you to agree to two conditions,” replied Gerald.
“Name them. I’ll definitely fulfill them!” declared Bob with a firm tone.
“They honestly shouldn’t be too difficult for you to fulfill. First off, is regarding my identity. I’ll just say that it’s
currently inconvenient for my identity to be exposed to the public. I need you to keep it a secret. ”
“Of course!”
“As for the second condition, I need to head to Mayberry in a few days. I need a smart, capable, and obedient
person to be with me there at all times. Highlight the word, ‘obedient’ since the person you assign to me needs to
listen to all my orders.”
“Humph! If it’s just a servant you want, the Westleys have plenty of them… As long as you’re able to cure my
grandpa, I’ll personally give you a luxurious house with at least fifty maids and servants who’ll heed your every
command!” sneered Quest.
“I don’t require a luxurious residence, nor do I have a need for that many servants. Still, I can see that you’re quite
smart and capable yourself, Quest… I wonder…” said Gerald as he smiled faintly while looking at the boy.
“…What? You can’t seriously be telling me to serve you! Are you out of your mind? I’m the young master of the
Westley family!” replied Quest, obviously finding Gerald to be more ridiculous than he looked.
“He’s rather reckless, but he’s definitely a smart man. I was honestly having the same idea!” added Bob as he
laughed loudly.
“…Wait, what? Grandpa?! Sister…!” said Quest, suddenly sounding much more dispirited than before.
“You’ll be staying by Mr. Crawford’s side from now on, Quest. Be sure to obey his every command, regardless of
whether it’s hard work or not,” said Bob.

“Why, you ask? Are you really daring enough to disobey me now?” replied Bob, a hint of anger in his voice.
Gnashing his teeth, Quest then replied sulkily, “Fine, I’ll do it for you, grandpa…”
After hearing Quest’s involuntary agreement, Gerald nodded and brought Bob into another room.
“Is that young man truly capable of curing my grandpa, Master Jenkinson?” asked the aloof woman as she watched
the room’s doors close. She simply felt that Gerald was too young to be this capable.
“Haha! Miss Quinley, you don’t have to worry at all. Since my senior didn’t flat out deny curing him, there’s
definitely a possibility of it happening! Besides, both of us share a master. Quite frankly, I used to be a gangster.
After meeting my master, however, it only took a month for my master to completely change my ways. During that
period, I was exposed to a lot of medical skills and knowledge. Sadly, I only got to learn a little over the basics.”
“Senior, on the other hand, was taught the entire quintessence of our master’s knowledge. He’s practically a
professional by now. He stayed with our master for half a year and my master even taught him in person every
day, you know?” explained Joshua rather enviously.
“Who exactly is your master?” asked Quinley rather curiously.
“Can’t say anything about that!” replied Joshua, shaking his head.
It was about two hours later when the guest room’s doors finally opened again.
