Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1260

Following that, Jace began describing the symptoms. By the time he was done, Gerald could feel his heart skip a

beat.

‘…What? These… These symptoms… They’re definitely not symptoms of some kind of flu! These are the exact

symptoms I had faced when I was suffering from the effects of Soul Eater! Symptoms that caused part of my blood

and oxygen to be devoured! Rather than a disease, it’s an evil technique!’

Soul Eater was an evil technique that he had learned from the memories that had been implanted into him. He

knew it quite well since he had been forced to use it a while back to escape. There just weren’t any other better

alternatives at the time.

‘Still, why are there so many children suffering from the effects of Soul Eater out of the blue? Could someone else

out there know about the technique…?’ Gerald thought to himself, perplexed.

However, he knew that now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. He should instead head over to the children first to

see whether they truly were suffering from the effects of Soul Eater.

“…There isn’t any time to lose! I’ll go with you!” said Gerald quickly.

“That’s wonderful to hear, Mr. Crawford! You know, the dean and several others are having a research meeting at

the moment. Let’s head there first to see if they’ve discovered any new symptoms! Once we’ve done that, I’ll lead

you to the isolation rooms!” replied Jace.

Soon enough, Gerald arrived at the hospital with Jace and his two apprentices.

Upon entering the hospital’s lobby, several parents could already be seen crying there. Of course, any parent would

cry if such an incident befell their child.

Walking past them, the four people then quickly made their way into the conference room.

Since Jace already had quite a prestigious status, nobody even questioned about the people he had brought along

with him into the room. Instead, they simply chose to stand up and greet the doctor.

Gerald himself quickly seated himself before looking at what was being displayed on the big screen in front of the

conference room.

‘In the past three days, over a hundred babies have been sent to us, and all of them are currently in danger of

losing their lives. According to the records in the case book, all of the babies are experiencing both vomiting and

different degrees of pulmonary infections. The latter has a real danger of causing extensive body organ failure. We

still don’t fully grasp what the cause of all this is, but from the hospital’s investigation efforts, it’s safe to assume

that the symptoms are caused by the invasion of a new kind of virus.’

The next thing that was displayed was the state of the babies who had gotten sick due to the ‘virus’.

After that, a beautiful—yet worried-looking—anchor woman’s face was shown on the screen, and she turned to look

at the tall hospital building before her before saying, “The hospital has established an emergency rescue team

consisting of several famous medical experts! We can only hope that they’ll be able to come up with some

miraculous treatment that’ll help save the hundred over delicate lives that are still suffering now! We hope that

you’ll pray for the full recovery of the children as well, dear audience!”

Following, that, Zane Lowe—the dean of Mayberry First Hospital—signaled for the screen to be turned off before

saying, “I’m sure you’re all well aware of how serious the current condition that we’re facing is. If we fail to save

the children, then this incident will surely end up becoming an ugly stain in the history of medicine. With so many

great minds present today, failure to save the babies will also lead to a massive medical accident scandal! By then,

the credibility of the hospital will be near non-existent!”

“Everyone here today is an expert in this field, many of whom have come from affiliated hospitals and even

hospitals that aren’t related to us! I hope you all understand that in the face of danger, all of you bear the burden

of the expectations from the government and also the people. Regardless, I’m not going to be spouting anymore

nonsense. Let’s begin discussing how we’re going to save the lives of all these children. ”

“Until the results of the bacterial culture are out, we won’t even be able to come up with a solution. We need to suit

the remedy to the case, you know? We can’t just randomly prescribe medicine for the illness when we aren’t even

completely sure of what it is yet!” said a bespectacled middle-aged doctor in a bitter tone.

Many of the doctors present were feeling that it was deeply unfortunate that they had been transferred over to do

such a terrible task.

While they were all well aware that succeeding in curing the children would most definitely bring them both profit

and fame—even allowing them to gain the chance to enjoy massive publicity, praises, and rewards from their

respective hospitals—they also knew that failure would lead to the ruin of any possible future prospects.

There were over a hundred children, and just thinking about the responsibility they needed to bear if they messed

up sent shivers down their spines.

“…After checking their pulse, it seems that they’ve been inflicted with a pulmonary infection. While we’ve already

tried using all sorts of antiviral medicine, no improvements have been noted,” said an old Chinese medicine

practitioner next.

Silence ensued in the conference room for a while after that.

Everyone knew that there were now two options, one being Western medicine and the other being Chinese

medicine.
