Meanwhile, Gerald had been putting up quite a show together with Giya. Giya herself seemed to have lied to her parents. Knowing this, Gerald found it increasingly awkward to keep up the façade. Hence, he was now trying to find an excuse to leave already. When she saw this, Giya held on to Gerald’s arm intimately before saying, “Mom, Dad, I’ll be seeing him off first. I can handle it so both of you can just stay here!” After saying that, both of them then walked out of the hall together. Once the hotel’s entrance was within sight, Gerald immediately said, “It’s high time you returned my cell phone to me!” Earlier, Gerald had constantly looked at his phone while he was chatting with the others. To preserve the image of intimacy between him and Giya, the other Quarringtons had temporarily confiscated his phone. They added that he shouldn’t be playing with his phone so that he could focus more on chatting properly with them. Gerald hadn’t said anything about it at the time.
While Giya was looking at Mila, jealousy reflected in her eyes, very strong emotions were also overflowing in Mila’s heart. “You… You’ve let me down! You disappoint me greatly Gerald! I don’t ever want to see you again!” shouted Mila as she shoved Gerald harshly before turning around. Mila then ran away while covering her mouth as Wanda scowled, “You disgusting sc*mbag! So what if you’re rich?!” Even she couldn’t help but scold Gerald in Mila’s place. After all, they were all girls. They would definitely resent sc*mbags like him! Gerald himself had gone pale from anxiety. He simply couldn’t imagine why Mila had suddenly made her appearance there and then. However, that could wait. Gerald immediately began chasing after her. Giya was also facing an onslaught of complicated emotions. Since she couldn’t process all of it at once, she simply redirected all her feelings into anger. With Gerald now gone, she simply turned around and re-entered the hotel. It was sometime la
“What? You’re just lending that villa to that girl?” said Molly after hearing Gerald’s explanation about Xavia. Regarding Xavia being pregnant, Gerald wasn’t too sure about that. However, it wasn’t too hard for him to imagine her plotting up such a lie. He could deal with her later. For now, Gerald simply wanted Mila not to misunderstand him anymore. “Alright, I can sense that you’re not lying. I’ll try to advise Mila on this. You’d better not be feeding us any lies. Do you know how much Mila hates being lied to?” Despite having only a brief conversation with him, Molly was near certain that Gerald wasn’t the kind of reckless or flirtatious rich hair. On the contrary, he seemed to be quite a nice and friendly man. If he was honestly saying the truth, then Molly was definitely willing to help him out. Hence, as Molly returned to Mila’s bedroom, Gerald remained downstairs. A short while later however, she came down again before saying with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I can’t he
Queta’s face was as white as a sheet when Gerald saw her in the ward. She looked terribly weak. Thankfully, just as Lisa had said, she had already regained consciousness. “How are you feeling?” asked Gerald as he walked toward her bed. “I’m not too sure either… At the time, without any warning, it simply felt like all the blood had been drained from my body. My vision went dark and the next thing I knew, I had already fainted,” said Queta in a soft voice. “And what did the doctor say?” “See, that’s why both of us are so anxious. While a few doctors have discussed her condition, they still haven’t been able to detect the cause of her illness! At the moment, none of them even dare to continue treating her yet!” said Lisa. Hearing that, Queta’s eyes began watering slightly. After all, even she was slightly terrified. Regardless of how strong she usually was, facing such a situation was still going to be hard on her. “I see…” said Gerald as he nodded. He then looked at Queta,
“What’s the matter?” asked Gerald who was caught slightly off-guard by the question. He didn’t know what was wrong with the old man. While Finnley looked both elderly and thin, his grip was surprisingly strong. After grabbing on to Gerald’s shoulder, Gerald was unable to move even if he wanted to. ‘How is he even this strong?’ “Just curious. Again, who did you meet today my grandson? I can smell an unusual scent from your body…” asked Finnley as he chuckled. “Define, ‘unusual scent’,” replied Gerald as he looked at Finnley who suddenly appeared a lot more excited and mysterious. ‘Maybe his muddle headedness is acting up again!’ “It’s the scent of venom-based poison!” said Finnley in a sudden hushed tone. “The person you met today is suffering from venom-based poison! You probably came into contact with that person which is why you have such a venomous scent on you!” added Finnley. “D*mn it, have you been watching too many Thai movies?” said Gerald helplessly. He simpl
“What about me? You’ve just been jabbing her with needles when she’s clearly suffering from a venom-based poison! All you’ve done is increase the speed of her blood circulation! Isn’t that just giving the parasite more chances to move around uncontrollably around her body?” replied Finnley. “Girl, when you were around eight, did you go through something similar to what you’re experiencing now? Though you were probably mostly just dizzy back then, it happened again when you were twelve, right? Only then, you felt even more lightheaded than before. Things should have gotten worse once you got to the age of sixteen. If my deduction is correct, you should have felt extremely lightheaded while simultaneously feeling that your limbs were worryingly weak for that period of time. Since your condition’s only continued to worsen every time it shows itself again, straight out blacking out now when you’re twenty-two shouldn’t come as a surprise!” added Finnley as he turned to look at Queta. S
After a short while of Gerald waiting anxiously outside the ward, both Finnley and Dr. Hudson exited the ward. When Gerald saw both of them, he found it slightly odd and suspicious that Dr. Hudson now seemed much more respectful toward Finnley. Gerald had also noticed that while they were leaving the room, the doctor had almost tried supporting Finnley’s arm, though he quickly changed his mind at the last second. “How did it go?” asked Gerald. “She’s almost cured! You can go in and pay her a visit now!” said Finnley with a chuckle. Hearing that, he entered the ward immediately to check on Queta. She was looking much better now compared to earlier, and even the usual rosiness on her cheeks had started to return. “You don’t have to worry, Gerald. Mr. Quick has exceptional medical skills!” said Queta as soon as she saw him, clearly worried that Gerald was still concerned about her condition. “That’s good to know!” replied Gerald, breathing a long sigh of relief. “Thank you v
This was the reason why she wanted to have a nice chat with Mila first. “What do you want to talk about? Spit it out already!” said Mila as both of them arrived at a park. “I’ll be frank with you. It’d honestly be better for me if you broke up with Gerald. I won’t hide the fact that I do indeed, love him, and I’ve tried to gain his affection on multiple occasions!” said Giya. Miya simply looked to the side without saying anything. “However, it’s exactly because I love him that I can see how loyal he is to you. I’m not making any of this up either. His feelings for you have remained unchanged from the very beginning. No matter how much I’ve tried to earn his affection, he simply ignored every one of my advances. This is just my two cents, but if you do end up breaking up just because of some misunderstanding about our relationship, he’ll definitely experience extreme grief. He really is a kind man who likes helping people out, you know? Even the engagement was just him helping m
