Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1262

Jace quickly attempted to persuade the others to calm down before things escalated too quickly.

To be quite honest, even he had been surprised to hear Gerald say that someone had drained the babies of their

oxyblood. It was a statement he hadn’t heard of before.

Even so, he had witnessed Gerald’s skills and abilities before, so Jace trusted that Gerald knew what he was doing.

“Hah! See, Dr. Mabb? I already told you that his feat earlier was just a coincidence! He’s not really capable at all!

Being so young, what would he know? You’d think he was here to act in some movie after hearing his explanation!”

muttered Walbridge unhappily.

Though he hadn’t said that in a particularly loud voice, everyone in the conference room could hear what he had

just said.

It was obvious that Walbridge was jealous of Gerald. After all, he had seen the way Breanna—his long-time crush

who was also his junior—looked at Gerald earlier. That was certainly the last straw for him!

Infuriated by him, Walbridge had had the constant urge to humiliate Gerald in public.

Upon hearing what his apprentice had to say, Jace’s expression instantly turned gloomy as he turned to look at

Walbridge before saying, “Quiet, Walbridge! I believe there must be a reason for Mr. Crawford to have said all that!

Let’s just see what else Mr. Crawford has to say first! What if his deduction is actually correct?”

Gerald himself now had a sour expression on his face. Anyone would feel dissatisfied after being criticized and

humiliated in such a way.

“There are still many things all of you do not know about the world!” replied Gerald coldly.

“…If I may, is there a cure for all this, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Jace, choosing to believe in Gerald.

“There is. Acupuncture and medication can be used to condition their bodies. Even so, we have to act quickly. Once

the babies’ organs completely fail, they won’t be able to be saved any longer!”

“Do you have any idea how hasty you’re being? You can’t just treat the lives of over a hundred children like jokes,

Dr. Mabb! He’s just some young boy who barely has any experience! What would he know in this situation?!”

shouted another doctor in rage.

“Do you have any better ideas, then?” asked Jace coldly in return.

“While I don’t, we still can’t take this situation so lightly! Also, giving medication to new-borns? What would happen

if their condition worsens after taking the medication? You, of all people, should know that these babies can’t take

much more! With that in mind, we shouldn’t be playing around with their health until we’re entirely sure we can

help them!” reasoned another person who felt that allowing Gerald to treat the new-borns was no different from

giving him permission to toy around with their health.

Zane himself was now looking at Gerald, wondering whether to trust in him or not. Though Gerald’s explanation

sounded dubious at best, there was just something about the determination and clarity in Gerald’s eyes that gave

others a strong sense of conviction.

Was Gerald really that sure of his answer?

After thinking for a bit, Zane made his decision. Since nobody else had any better ideas anyway, what choice did he

have but to place in trust in Gerald?

“…Let him have a go,” said Zane.

“…Come again? You’re actually letting him try? Then who’s going to bear the responsibility if something goes

awry?!”

“I am!” shouted Jace, Zane, and Gerald simultaneously.

Following that, all three of them couldn’t help but turn to look at each other.

“…Fine then! Since all three of you have agreed to take full responsibility over this incident, so be it!”

Since there were now fools willing to take responsibility over the matter, everyone no longer had anything to say.

Gerald could try all he wanted to!

If it wasn’t obvious enough by now, these doctors frankly didn’t care whether the babies lived or died as long as

they could protect their own interests!

“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider this, Dr. Mabb? We really shouldn’t be acting so hastily! We’re placing

over a hundred lives on the line here! It isn’t just a single Lady Smith anymore!” said Walbridge whose jealousy had

spiked now that the dean was also on Gerald’s side. How was that even possible?

Walbridge honestly couldn’t believe that his master was still buying into Gerald’s nonsense. How could Dr. Mabb

even be confused by such incoherent ramblings?

Much to Walbridge’s surprise, Jace immediately glared at him before declaring, “Walbridge, you… I was wrong

about you…!”

Stunned, Walbridge then replied, “…What? I… I just don’t want your reputation to go down the drain, doctor! After

all, you’re a genius doctor!”

“Never have I ever thought of myself as a genius doctor… That’s only a title my patients gave me. Walbridge, I’ll

have you know that if my reputation was all I needed to save these patients, then I’d gladly throw all of it away!

You’re a thirty-year-old man who’s already been studying medicine for so many years, Walbridge… How is your way

of thinking still so wrong? If you continue going down this path, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to achieve a thing in

the medical world!” said Jace as he sighed in disappointment.

His face now green with envy, Walbridge then shouted, “…W-whatever the case is, I still don’t believe that he’ll be

able to cure the children!”

“And what if I’m able to?” asked Gerald as he stared coldly at Walbridge.

That guy had been coming at him this entire time and it was starting to annoy Gerald…
