Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtturned 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,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe 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!”
