Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 133
Gerald felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the cry for help.
He hastily rushed over.
The moat was pretty desolate as there were no parks or anything else nearby.
The woman was crying and she was drenched from head to toe.
When she saw Gerald, she almost collapsed to her knees. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please help save my
daughter!”
The woman was beautiful and appeared to be wearing a lot of fine jewelry. It seemed as though she
was quite a figure.
She hurriedly pointed at the river and Gerald could see a young girl flailing about in the water.
Her daughter had obviously tripped into the water. The woman tried to rescue her daughter but she
could only plead desperately for help as she didn’t know how to swim.
Gerald watched in horror as the young girl’s body slowly stopped moving and started sinking.
He knew that it would be way too late if he did not act upon it now.
Without thinking twice, he dove into the river at an accelerated speed.
Gerald’s family used to live in a village in a small county town. There was a river by the village and
Gerald learnt how to swim ever since he was a young child.
Fortunately, the water in this moat was not too deep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThankfully, the young girl knew some basic swimming skills which made it easier for Gerald to save the
young girl, but the experience she went through was simply daunting, though without any serious
mishaps.
After he carried the young girl up, the child choked a little and her face was flushed red.
Her mother was so distressed and she kept patting her back gently. She kept thanking Gerald
profusely.
“Call 120 first!”
“Yes, the child is too young. Oh! What kind of mother are you? How can you allow your child to come to
the water all by herself?”
Several citizens ran over as soon as they heard the commotion.
Some were making phone calls while several older women started criticizing the young mother.
“Don’t accuse my mom. Uncles and aunties, please don’t scold my mom. Tessa is the one who insisted
on coming here to release my wishing boat. This has nothing to do with my mom!”
As soon as the young girl heard her mother getting ridiculed, she cried out in defense as she tried to
explain herself.
“What an obedient child!”
“Yes, she is really a good young lady. Ma’am, you have to take good care of your child. If this man did
not rush over here on time, the consequences would have been disastrous!”
“This young man is quite amazing!”
A few citizens who were standing at the side looked at Gerald who was completely drenched, with a
look of admiration on their faces.
The mother hurriedly hoisted a weak Tessa over as slowly walked over to Gerald.
“Young man, thank you so much. What is your name? Where do you live?”
She asked for his address as she wanted to thank Gerald.
It was too obvious for Gerald to not know the intention of her query. All he did was save a person.
Gerald believed that most people would have done the same to save a person in such a situation.
He simply waved it off.
“It’s alright. You should take your daughter to the hospital quickly!”
Gerald turned around to leave as he replied.
“Big brother, will I see you again?”
A weak Tessa asked.
She felt as though she was this close to death and was shaken to the core.
But there Gerald was, who jumped in to save her without any hesitation at all. This was the sole reason
why she wanted to see him again.
“Yes!” Gerald did not want to let the young girl down. After smiling at her, he ignored the young mother
who was still calling out to him and he left right away.
This was probably one of those once-off encounters anyway.
Gerald hurriedly ran back to the side of the road.
By now, more than twenty minutes have already passed.
Mila should have already bought her milk tea a long time ago.
When he got to the side of the road, Mila was nowhere in sight.
Hmm?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShouldn’t she have already bought the milk tea after such a long time?
He quickly took out his cell phone and glanced at it. It was dripping wet as it had been completely
soaked in water. The cell phone had also been turned off.
Could it be that Mila already went back to the car shop since she could not reach him on his cell
phone?
Gerald went to the milk tea shop and looked around but he could not find her there.
He had no choice but to return to the car shop first, but attempted to switch on his phone before that.
Thankfully, it worked.
Wilson suddenly called him at the same time.
He wanted to tell Gerald that his car had already been repaired.
It was not difficult to replace all the damaged parts of the car, under the intensive care of a few
experienced technicians in less than forty minutes.
“By the way, Mr. Wilson, did the girl who came with me just now return to the car shop?”
“Ahh! No? She didn’t come back here again after she left with you. Is there a problem, Mr. Crawford?
Did something happen? Just let me know if something happened.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wilson. No worries, everything is fine.”
Gerald felt a little puzzled after hanging up. This was strange. Where could Mila have gone?
It was impossible for her to go home. She would not have gone home alone just because she could not
find him.
She wasn’t anywhere nearby to be found and she was not at the car shop either.
Where could she have gone?
