Chapter 1261
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1261
Even if any of them had personal opinions on the matter, none of them dared to speak a word. After all,
while it was true that they would receive no shortage of awards and recognition should they seed in
saving the children, failure to save them would surely result in them being painted as a viin.
There was simply no way that any of them were going to willingly be a scapegoat.
“…Does nobody have anything to say at all…?” asked Zane, his tone rightfully urgent as he scanned
through all the present doctors.
Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever he
turned to look at any of them.
Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to end
soon…
However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “I
have a few ideas.”
Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the room
immediately turned to see who had spoken. The individual in question had been sitting quietly in the
corner of the conference room this entire time. If he hadn’t spoken up, there was a high chance that
everyone would’ve simply continued ignoring him.

Regardless, everyone was confused as to why he was the one who had spoken up. After all, everyone
had been under the assumption that he was simply one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices, drivers, or even
secretaries.
“…Say, who even is he?”
“Isn’t he just one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices…?”
“I don’t think so! From what I remember, Dr. Mabb only has two of them!”
While everyone was currently discussing among themselves as they looked at Gerald, Gerald himself
paid them no attention. The important thing was that he had already witnessed all that had been shown
on screen earlier.
With the addition of rapid organ failure to the list of symptoms, Gerald was already a hundred percent
certain that the Soul Eater technique had been the cause of all this.
However, it was evident that the person who had used the technique on the babies had only roughly
mastered it. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch that the person had been using it on the babies as practice!
After all, had the person achieved mastery over the Soul Eater technique like Gerald had, then the
babies would have definitely been sucked dry before turning into ashes, just like what had happened to
Hendrik and the others!
Gerald himself had only been able to master it that quickly since he had previously undergone training
—to hasten learning processes—together with Finnley. It was how he had regained his strength after
Queena sealed his inner strength.
Regardless, to think that someone would actually practice the vicious technique on babies… The
thought of it alone caused an extremely ugly expression to form on Gerald’s face.
However, he wasn’t the only one angry. The truth was that all the doctors had been feeling slightly
angry and contemptuous toward Gerald the moment he said he had an idea.
“Do you already have a solution to treating this strange illness, Mr. Crawford?” asked Jace in surprise
as he instantly bowed respectfully at Gerald.
Seeing how respectfully Dr. Mabb was treating the young man, all of them could immediately tell that
the young man wasn’t his driver. What on earth was going on here…?
Zane—being a bit more experienced than the rest—immediately sensed that something was up.
Looking at Gerald, he then said, “Do you have something in mind, young man?”
“Indeed I do,” replied Gerald, ignoring all the stares from the other doctors. His priority was to save the
lives of all those babies, and being looked at contemptuously was nothing new to him anyway.
Now that he had everyone’s attention, he casually said, “The truth is, this isn’t an illness at all. The
babies are currently in such a state since someone had drained them of their oxyblood, resulting in
their organs failing! Due to their organs being in such poor condition, the babies are currently
susceptible to infections!”
The second Gerald’s sentence ended, an uproar immediately broke out! Truth be told, several of the
doctors wanted tough, but they refrained since they were currently facing such a serious situation.
“Young man, I heard Dr. Mabb calling you Mr. Crawford, so let’s just go with that. Regardless, I wonder
if you’ve been watching too many movies. Please refrain from spouting nonsense when you don’t even
understand what is going on here! Someone drained the babies’ oxyblood? Are you suggesting that we
have a vampire on the loose? What more, the babies are new-borns who’ve never left the NCIU!
Actually, do you even know what NCIU stands for? Since you probably don’t, it stands for Neonatal
Care Unit! As an extra trivia, the air inside it ispletely isted!”
“To think that I had initially thought that you would actually provide us with a viable suggestion. As it
turns out, you know nothing at all! Imagine if news about this gets published to the public! Society
would definitely fall into disarray! Who even is this guy, Dr. Mabb?” asked one of the doctors as he
continued ring at Gerald.
“Please, just settle down for a minute, everyone!”
