Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 647
“What? You’re just lending that villa to that girl?” said Molly after hearing Gerald’s explanation about Xavia.
Regarding Xavia being pregnant, Gerald wasn’t too sure about that. However, it wasn’t too hard for him to imagine
her plotting up such a lie. He could deal with her later.
For now, Gerald simply wanted Mila not to misunderstand him anymore.
“Alright, I can sense that you’re not lying. I’ll try to advise Mila on this. You’d better not be feeding us any lies. Do
you know how much Mila hates being lied to?”
Despite having only a brief conversation with him, Molly was near certain that Gerald wasn’t the kind of reckless or
flirtatious rich hair. On the contrary, he seemed to be quite a nice and friendly man.
If he was honestly saying the truth, then Molly was definitely willing to help him out.
Hence, as Molly returned to Mila’s bedroom, Gerald remained downstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA short while later however, she came down again before saying with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you Gerald.
Mila simply refuses to listen to me… She doesn’t even want to see you at all. I’m afraid you’ve hurt her too much
this time. You’d better leave for now…”
After saying that, she returned upstairs.
Gerald could only sigh in response. He was filled with grief.
He had always yearned for Mila to return. Now that she was back, they had met during such terrible timing.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began ringing. It was a call from Queta.
“What’s wrong, Queta?” asked Gerald as he felt a gentle smile form on his face. After all, he had always treated her
just like his younger sister.
“Mr. Crawford, I’m not Queta. I’m Lisa, her colleague. We’ve met before!” said the girl on the other end of the line.
However, something about her tone hinted that something urgent was up.
“I remember you. What’s wrong?” asked Gerald immediately.
“It’s Queta. Something’s happened to her and she’s now in the hospital!” explained Lisa, her voice more anxious
than before.
“What?”
Gerald was shocked to hear this.
He then stared at the stairs for a brief moment. At first, he considered shouting so that Mila would know that he
was leaving for something important. However, he feared that it would only annoy her more if she heard him
shouting.
After all, she was still deeply resenting him now. In the end, he concluded that it would be better to first check in on
Queta first
“So what exactly happened? Tell me clearly!” said Gerald as he began leaving Mila’s house.
“Well, she was fine up till noon today. It all started when Queta suddenly said that she was feeling sick while we
were having our afternoon classes. I had initially gotten some hot water for her, thinking that she was just having a
regular fever. Unexpectedly, she fainted not too long after! I’m now in the hospital with her and she’s already
regained consciousness. However, she’s still very weak.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why did the incident happen in the first place?” asked Gerald anxiously as he hailed a taxi. After learning more
details, he then rushed to the hospital that Lisa and Queta were in.
“What did that sc*mbag say?” asked the other girls as Molly returned upstairs.
“He didn’t say too much, but it seems like he’ll wait there till Mila’s willing to meet him!”
“I doubt it. Is he really that loyal?” sneered Wanda as she drew the curtains open again to look outside.
The first thing she saw was Gerald getting into a taxi before leaving immediately.
“Humph! I told you! It’s only been a short while yet he’s already hailed a cab and left! Just look at that, Mila!” said
Wanda as she pointed at the leaving taxi.
Mila took a peek outside the window and when she realized that what Wanda had said was true, she became so
anxious that she began scratching on her bedsheets.
‘Yes, I’m furious. And yes, I was the one who said that I didn’t want to listen to your explanation… But how could
that possibly be true?’
‘Even if you hadn’t wanted to explain yourself, you could’ve just waited downstairs for a little longer. That would’ve
proved to me that you still felt the same for me…’
‘But now you’ve left. What now?’
Mila was filled with excruciating pain at that moment.
While this was happening, Gerald arrived at the hospital.
