The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2055

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2055 The second the thought crossed his mind, Gerald quickly ran to the washroom to splash his face withwater.

While he didn’t really want to undress her, this was a life-or-death situation. It had taken forever for himto find a member of the Seadom tribe, and since she had that special pendant, Gerald had a feelingthat she had quite the status in her family as well.

With that in mind, if she ended up dying, Gerald knew that the chances of him finding another memberof the Seadom tribe—with her rank—would surely be close to zero…

After thinking about it, Gerald sighed as he tried to calm himself. This wasn’t the time to be thinking ofsuch earthly desires. With that, he walked out of the bathroom and carefully began undressing her…

It was around two hours later when Gerald completely healed her internal injuries with his HerculeanPrimordial Spirit. With that done, he quickly draped her with a blanket before taking a cold shower tocalm himself. Thankfully, it seemed to work.

Now that he was much calmer, Gerald sat on the couch and began smoking cigarette after cigarette ashe waited for her to wake up…

It was a few hours later when Gerald suddenly heard shuffling sounds coming from the bed. Turningaround, he saw that the undressed woman had finally woken up!

Immediately looking away, Gerald loudly explained, “B-before you say anything, you fainted backthere… Just so you know, I’m proficient with medicine, and fearing that you could be fatally injured, Itook the initiative to try healing you. Thankfully, I think I managed to heal most of your wounds… R-regardless, please put your clothes on first…”

Blushing in response, Fujiko—who knew he wasn’t lying since she was feeling much better now—thenreplied, “T-thank you…!”novelbin

Honestly, even if Gerald hadn’t said a thing, she wouldn’t have been mad. After all, he had saved hertwice tonight… She now saw Gerald as her benefactor, and she honestly didn’t mind if he requested forher to be in a relationship with him…

Whatever the case was, upon realizing that his efforts hadn’t been misunderstood, Gerald was so gladthat he quickly waved his hand before saying, “You’re very welcome.”

“Speaking of which, I still don’t know what your name is… Also, you’re not Japanese, right…? I may bewrong, but could you be from Weston…?” asked Fujiko as she stared at Gerald’s back. Unknowingly,she was already starting to develop feelings for him…

“Well, yes, I’m from Weston, and you can call me Gerald Crawford. I came to Japan to settle someaffairs,” replied Gerald in a casual tone.

“I see… I go by Futaba Fujiko, and I’m part of Japan’s special forces. I’m here to participate in a specialforces competition. Unfortunately, I somehow ended up getting sneak attacked by enemies of myfamily. Had you not stepped in, I would’ve surely died back there…” explained Fujiko as she shook herhead.

Not even her family had been able to predict that their enemy would strike there and then. Honestly,she did think about taking out the enemy since they were both already there back then. In the end,however, she was defeated… Thankfully, Gerald saved her in the nick of time. Still, when she thoughtabout how she could’ve died back there, Fujiko couldn’t help but shiver in fear… Then again, thingscould’ve gone much worse if the enemy had chosen to use her as a hostage instead to threaten herfamily…

“Don’t worry about it. I just so happened to be passing by, sol lent you a hand. I’m sure anyonewould’ve done the same,” replied Gerald whose face was still reddened after seeing her undressedfigure.

As Gerald continued suppressing his earthly desires, he heard Fujiko sigh before saying, “…Even ifyou say that, I still have to thank you for helping me today.” Upon hearing the familiar rustle of clothes—and gathering that she must finally be putting her clothes on—Gerald heaved a sigh of relief beforereplying, “Don’t worry about it… I’m just glad you’re all healed up now…”
