The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1261

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (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 insaving 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 scannedthrough all the present doctors.

Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever heturned to look at any of them.

Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to endsoon…

However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “Ihave a few ideas.”

Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the roomimmediately turned to see who had spoken. The individual in question had been sitting quietly in thecorner of the conference room this entire time. If he hadn’t spoken up, there was a high chance thateveryone would’ve simply continued ignoring him.

Regardless, everyone was confused as to why he was the one who had spoken up. After all, everyonehad been under the assumption that he was simply one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices, drivers, or evensecretaries.

“…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 himselfpaid them no attention. The important thing was that he had already witnessed all that had been shownon screen earlier.

With the addition of rapid organ failure to the list of symptoms, Gerald was already a hundred percentcertain 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 roughlymastered 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 thebabies would have definitely been sucked dry before turning into ashes, just like what had happened toHendrik 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 afterQueena sealed his inner strength.

Regardless, to think that someone would actually practice the vicious technique on babies… Thethought 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 slightlyangry 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 surpriseas he instantly bowed respectfully at Gerald.

Seeing how respectfully Dr. Mabb was treating the young man, all of them could immediately tell thatthe 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, he 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 thelives 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. Thebabies are currently in such a state since someone had drained them of their oxyblood, resulting intheir organs failing! Due to their organs being in such poor condition, the babies are currentlysusceptible to infections!”

The second Gerald’s sentence ended, an uproar immediately broke out! Truth be told, several of thedoctors 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 wonderif you’ve been watching too many movies. Please refrain from spouting nonsense when you don’t evenunderstand what is going on here! Someone drained the babies’ oxyblood? Are you suggesting that wehave 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 NeonatalCare Unit! As an extra trivia, the air inside it is completely isolated!”novelbin

“To think that I had initially thought that you would actually provide us with a viable suggestion. As itturns out, you know nothing at all! Imagine if news about this gets published to the public! Societywould definitely fall into disarray! Who even is this guy, Dr. Mabb?” asked one of the doctors as hecontinued glaring at Gerald.

“Please, just settle down for a minute, everyone!”
