Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1710
When Gerald awoke the next day, he was greeted by his master, who sat by his bed with his eyes closed.
Gerald realised his entire body was aching as he attempted to stand… He wasn’t even able to sit up!
Sumeru opened his eyes at that precise moment. When he realised Gerald had regained consciousness, he smiled and said, “Gerald!” You’ve woken up!”
“Master, I…”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Right now, you’re just dealing with some internal injuries. Sumeru replied before Gerald could even finish his question, “You’ll be fit as a fiddle in no time if you recover properly for the next few days!”
Gerald fell silent when he heard that…
Knocking could be heard from his room’s door shortly after.
Sumeru walked over to open it and saw that it was Meilani who had come to deliver Gerald’s breakfast.
Meilani entered the room and placed Gerald’s breakfast on his table before asking, “How do you feel, Gerald?” in a concerned tone. Is there anything bothering you…?”
Gerald responded by smiling subtly and shaking his head before weakly replying, “I’m fine… I just need to rest for a little while…”
Sumeru exited the room after noticing Meilani would be caring for Gerald.
Meilani took advantage of the opportunity to whisper, “Say, Gerald, I have some good news!” Yesterday, the Wroe family’s master was assassinated in his own home!”
Gerald appeared stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected such a thing to happen out of the blue.
“…Also, you may not know this, but your master went somewhere last night to, ‘attend to something,’ as he said…” Meilani added after a brief pause.
“Don’t worry, I’m doing a lot better now!” Gerald replied with a smile.
“That’s fantastic news, Mr. Crawford! Rest up for a few days so we can resume our journey when you’re fully recovered!” Ray stated.
They would not be able to continue their journey at their current rate if he remained in this condition. With that in mind, the best course of action for the time being was to wait for Gerald to improve.
Gerald went silent for a moment after nodding, before turning to face his party and asking, “Speaking of which, where did master go?”
“Oh, the dean has already departed!” He told us to take good care of you and to tell you that he had gotten everything sorted out for you. Ray explained, “With the Wroe family currently in disarray, it won’t be long before they ruin themselves!”
Gerald was able to relax after hearing that. Despite the good news, he had a nagging feeling in his stomach…
The fact that he was still badly beaten the day before indicated that he wasn’t powerful enough…
