Chapter 1055


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1055


    Lyra found herself walking amidst a dense forest on arge mountain. The air was filled with a thick


    miasma and everything felt gloomy and eerie.


    The fact that there didn’t seem like there was anyone else around made her feel all the more terrified.


    After walking through the forest for some time, Lyra’s ears twitched as the sound of a flowing stream


    could be heard. Looking around, she eventually came across a lit area where the stream was.


    However, that wasn’t the only thing she saw there.


    Standing beside the stream was a woman wearing white clothes. It was a no-brainer that anyone who


    saw such a long-haired woman standing in the middle of nowhere would be rightfully terrified.


    “…Who… who are you…?” asked Lyra meekly as she looked at the woman’s back.


    “…Save me… You’re the only one capable of leading him here to save me…!” replied the woman.


    Though Lyra was terrified when she heard that, she could sense the mncholy in her voice, and it


    seemed that the woman was weeping as well.


    “…W-who is this, ‘he’ you speak of…?”


    “…Save me…! You’re the only one capable of leading him here to save me…!” repeated the woman as


    she wailed on.


    To Lyra’s horror, the woman then slowly began turning around. Lyra felt her eyes widen in fear as she


    saw the woman’s extremely pale face. That wasn’t the worst part either. The woman was shedding


    tears of blood!


    Lyra instantly let out a blood-curdling scream and it took her a while to finally realize that Gerald’s voice


    was present.


    Opening her eyes, she saw that Gerald was sitting beside her, and he currently had a concerned look


    on his face as he asked, “What’s wrong, Lyra?”


    Throwing herself into his arms, her heart continued pounding rapidly for a while. Eventually, she


    managed to calm down slightly.


    “Was it a nightmare…?” asked Gerald.


    “It… It was… It was terrifying… I dreamed that I was stuck in a dense and gloomy forest with nobody


    else around… However, the moment I finally bumped into someone, it was a woman who cried tears of


    blood! She… She told me to send someone over to save her!” replied Lyra as she exined what she


    had dreamed of.


    Slowly shaking his head, Gerald then said, “Maybe you’re just too tired due to the stress of everything


    that’s been happening recently… Regardless, it’ll still be a little while before dawn… Take the time to


    rest, and try not to worry too much about it. I’ll be by your side…”


    “I… I don’t think I’ll be able to… Ever since I saw that picture of Warhill Mountain, I’ve constantly felt


    insecure… It’s like I can feel that something is about to happen… Also, the more I think about it, the


    more I feel that that woman’s back resembles someone…”


    “Hmm? Do you have any idea who…?”


    “…Yes. Remember that statue of a woman that I was talking about? Back when we first saw the map?


    That statue—that had been broken waist-down—resembled the white-clothed woman in my dream aContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    lot! In fact, they look exceedingly simr!” replied Lyra who was so scared that her cheeks became


    flushed.


    “I see… Regardless, everything’s fine now… It’s normal to get nightmares of unnerving images…


    Again, I’ll be here so do rest for a little longer…”


    After some persuasion, Lyra eventuallyy down on her bed again. Gerald himself didn’t take the


    incident to heart.


    Once dawn came, both of them got up separately. A little whileter, a servant knocked on the door


    before saying, “Young master and youngdy, the old master ordered everyone in the family to get


    themselves cleaned up at the break of dawn. After all, you’ll all be studying the picture of the sun


    again.”


    “Very well!” replied Gerald with a nod.


    Even from the previous day, his grandfather had prioritized the picture of the sun above all else, telling


    the other Crawfords to study it.


    After all, he was well aware that alone, one’s power was limited. With so many family members there,


    they were bound to eventually find out more about it.


    Gerald knew that his grandfather was simply worried about the prophesized curse of the sun picture.


    The curse where the Crawford family would eventually end up getting wiped out for good. It was why


    they had been making preparations to face the cmity from time to time.


    Regardless, by the time Gerald and Lyra arrived at the secret room after cleaning themselves up, they


    found that though it was still very early in the morning, many, if not all, of the Crawford family members


    were already gathered there.


    The room was so silent that Gerald felt that even a toddler would be pressured to study along silently if


    one was present.


    Deeper inside, Gerald’s grandfather could be seen studying the map with many others. They seemed


    to have been doing so for a while now.


    Seeing that, Gerald pulled Lyra along to the side before sitting down beside her. He then whispered,


    “That picture of the sun is our family’s heirloom, Lyra. Do have a look at it too since grandpa called you


    over as well.”


    “Will do!” replied Lyra as she nodded firmly.


    The picture itself was as cryptic as ever, and nobody had been able to discern anything meaningful


    from it.


    As Gerald started studying the image as well, several other thoughts were swimming in Lyra’s head.


    Essentially, she was just feeling pleased that Gerald was finally starting to ept her more.


    It was great news for her, and quite honestly, nothing else was more important to Lyra at the moment.
