    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 921


    As the muffled wailing of ambnce sirens could be heard in the distance, Mindy found herself slowly


    losing consciousness.


    “…San…derson…”


    Meanwhile, a young man sitting inside an express train clutched his chest all of a sudden as he


    shuddered.


    “What’s wrong?” asked a girl sitting close to him out of concern.


    “…It’s nothing. My heart just felt tight all of a sudden… The feeling’s gone now, though. How odd…”


    replied the man with a wry smile on his face.


    He then turned to look at the girl before saying, “Speaking of which, here, you can have this. Once you


    settle down in Mayberry and get a job there, together with the money in this card, you should be able to


    live easy for the rest of your life!”


    As he said that, he handed a bank card over to the girl.


    “I can’t take this, Gerald! As long as I manage tond a job, my life will already be pretty manageable!


    You, on the other hand, definitely need the money more than I do!” replied the girl as she immediately


    returned the card to Gerald.


    It was obvious that the girl was none other than Naomi.


    “She’s right, Gerald. Not only do you need it more than we do, but we should be the ones giving you


    money instead! After all, you cured me without even asking for anything in return!” added Naomi’s


    mother.


    “It’s honestly fine. It’s not like I’ll be using much money from now on anyway. I’ve already done too


    many things… Haha…” replied Gerald with a bitter smile on his face.


    “Why would you say such a thing, Gerald…? Actually, you haven’t even told me the full story as to why


    you no longer have anything to do with the Crawfords!” said Naomi, a hint of worry in her voice.


    “Honestly at this point, it’s better for you not to know, Naomi. As they say, ignorance is bliss,” replied


    Gerald as he gently patted her on the head.


    Gerald was now returning to Mayberry since he wanted to visit an old friend. That, however, wasn’t his


    only goal there. He had something else nned once he got there…


    Regarding the bank card, it was honestly more of a burden to him at this point. As he thought about it,


    he felt that life truly was intriguing.


    After all, back before all this had happened, he had also taken a train to Mayberry city. Back then, he


    had assumed that he would be able to face his university life with a new attitude. That he would no


    longer need to live with such terrible self-esteem as he had during middle and high school due to him


    being so poor.


    Things, however, hardly changed at all. As it turned out, as long as he was poor, things would never


    change for him, or at least that was the conclusion his past-self came to. His past-self yearned for


    riches. As long as he was rich, he would’ve been able to have a decent life, and maybe even ttered


    by those poorer than him.


    However, when he actually inherited the money, the old Gerald found that he didn’t really enjoy


    showing his wealth off as much as he had thought. Quite the contrary, in fact.


    Upon finding out that he already had all the riches in the world, his desire for fame simply vanished.


    Instead, he wanted to live a in and simple life. After getting to know M, his end goal was to get


    married to her and maybe have a child or two, preferably a boy and a girl. His ideal life was one that


    was carefree, and one where he would be able to rx in M’s arms every day till they eventually


    passed on.


    A dream that truly was. Now that M was still missing, riches meant little to him. He simply lost all


    desire to have any money anymore.


    “…You’ve changed, you know, Gerald…” said Naomi out of the blue.

    “…Hmm? How so?”


    “Well, I can’t put my finger on it, but from the moment I met you again after so long, I could already tell


    that you were very differentpared to the Gerald I used to know… The one thing that hasn’t


    changed, however, is your kindness toward me. Even after all this time, you still treat me so well!”


    “But of course! You’re my good friend!”


    “Since you still see me as a friend, then please, Gerald… Please share your thoughts with me


    whenever you feel troubled… I know there’s a lot on your mind right now, and I’m also aware that


    you’re no longer the rich heir you used to be… Hell, I feel that once your return to Mayberry this time,


    big changes are going to happen soon… Regardless of all that, I want you to know that whatever


    happens, you’ll always be my best friend! I won’t pry into what you’re nning to do any further, but


    please keep in mind that I’m someone you can share your problems with…” said Naomi.


    Upon saying that, she ced the bank card into Gerald’s hand once more before adding, “…Which is


    why I simply can’t ept the money. Hold on to it! Who knows, you could make aeback in


    Mayberry City! I could be your assistant, you know?”


    “Naomi, believe me when I say I truly don’t need this money… In all honesty, I don’t even know if I’ll


    have the chance to return here in the future once I’m done with what I’ve set out to do!” replied Gerald


    with a subtle smile.


    “…What? What do you mean by that? What exactly do you n to do?” asked Naomi in despair.


    Hushing her slowly, he then said, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that you’ll be terrified after hearing it. You


    said you weren’t going to pry any further, didn’t you?”


    Though she really wanted to ask more, she remained silent in the end, knowing full well that she


    wouldn’t get any answers.
