    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1257


    “…Oh? I don’t think I’ve mentioned when the next attack was going to be, have I? How’d you make


    such an urate guess, Gerald?” asked Serenity, slightly shocked.


    “I figured as much. After all, it’s now only an hour before noon. Since there’s going to be a rise in


    temperature, excess heat in the body is going to cause disruptions within your blood cirction and


    respiratory system, both of which contribute to causing migraines,” replied Gerald with a smile.


    Hearing that, the olddy smiled before nodding approvingly at Gerald as she said, “I hadn’t expected


    you to know such things, Gerald!”


    Upon seeing that, Walbridge—who had been standing at the side—simply sneered, feeling slightly


    annoyed.


    Jace, however, turned to look at Gerald in surprise while thinking, ‘…Could this young man truly be


    proficient in medicine…?’


    Just as Gerald had said, Serenity—who had been talking andughing cheerily before this—suddenly


    portrayed an extremely pained expression on her face sometime around noon. Seconds after that, she


    began holding onto her head with both her hands,rge droplets of sweat rolling profusely down her


    forehead.


    “Please bear with the pain for now, Madam Smith. I’ll be performing acupuncture therapy on you right


    this instant,” said Jace as he stretched his hand out to check her pulse. Following that, he retrieved a


    needle bag from his medical kit before taking out a few silver needles.


    With great precision, he then stabbed the needles into a few acupuncture points on her body, followed


    by points on her head and shoulders.


    Seeing that, Gerald was slightly stunned.


    ‘So that’s why he had so much reputation within the military region… He truly is quite capable! Haha!’


    As Jace continued performing the acupuncture, he asked, “Speaking of which, mister, are you aware of


    what kind of acupuncture therapy I’m using?”


    “Is there even a need to ask him, master? How on earth would he even know?” said Walbridge coldly.


    “Now, now, Gerald urately predicted when the next attack would ur! With that in mind, it shows


    that Gerald is quite an insightful man!” replied Brianna as she smiled faintly at Gerald.


    “What’s there not to know? It’s just Deadly Acupuncture Therapy,” said Gerald as he looked at the


    doctor with a smile.


    Though Jace was slightly astonished to hear that Gerald knew of the technique, the fact that Gerald


    had used the word ‘just’ made him feel slightly angrier than he was surprised.


    Putting on a haughty expression, Jace then said, “Humph. Not bad. It seems that you truly are


    insightful to a degree…”


    Regardless, once Jace was done with his therapy, Serenity’s pain seemed to have eased quite a bit,


    judging from her expression.


    “Haha! Master isn’t called the most skillful doctor from the military region for nothing! After researching


    the illness for so long, the results are finally here!” dered Walbridge as he heaved a sigh of relief.


    Seeing that Serenity was now looking much better, he turned to look smugly at Gerald.


    “You tter me,” replied Jace with a calm smile.


    The second he said that, however, Serenity suddenly began trembling. In just a matter of seconds, her


    initial eased expression turned into roars of pain as she began holding onto her head again! She was


    now arguably suffering even more than before Jace’s treatment!


    Seeing that, everyone in the room became stunned, especially Jace. Looking at his silver needles, he


    muttered to himself, “This… This isn’t supposed to happen! It’s impossible!”


    Following that, he rushed toward Serenity to check her pulse. Her face pale by this point, the doctor


    could feel the olddy’s pulse beating at random intervals, even stopping for several seconds at a time


    before rapidlying back to life. It was extremely weird, to say the least.


    “Please, help her, Dr. Mabb!” cried out the other members of the Smith family as they anxiously ran


    over to him the second they saw how increasingly serious this attack waspared to thest.


    Seeing Serenity’s skin go from pale to a purplish-green, Gavin’s anxiety peaked and he was now


    jumping in both anxiety and frustration.


    Jace himself was currently in disarray. After all, he truly had no idea what to even do at this point.


    Realizing how serious Serenity’s condition had grown, Gerald dashed toward her and immediately


    pulled out the silver needles from her body. Following that, he took six of the silver needles and


    stabbed them into acupuncture points located around her neck and shoulders.


    Though Gerald could already tell what illness the olddy was suffering from much earlier, he wanted


    to see if Jace truly deserved all the reputation people gave him. If he was truly able to cure Serenity’s


    illness, then there was no need for him to step in and snatch that credit for him. However, now that all


    this had happened, Gerald had no choice but to make a move.


    “…D-Divine Acupuncture Therapy…?” said Jace as his jaw dropped.


    “Humph. Not bad. It seems that you truly are insightful to a degree…” uttered Gerald, using the same


    sentence Jace had used on him earlier.


    After having a few more needles stabbed into her, Serenity’s expression soon returned to a rxed


    one. With the migraine now gone, her face slowly returned to its initial rosiness.


    “…Mom…? How do you feel…?” asked Gavin, his delight evident in his concerned tone. To think that


    Gerald had such capability!


    Though Gavin and the others knew little about medicine, everyone—who had witnessed Gerald’s and


    Dr. Mabb’s acupuncture skills earlier—was sensible enough to tell that Gerald’s skills far exceeded the


    doctor’s.
