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.

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

Gerald had just retrieved some porridge for Queta when he received a text message from an unfamiliar number. After reading its contents, Gerald was stunned. ‘Mila’s returning to Hong Kong? Already? I haven’t even had the time to explain myself to her yet!’ Immediately after, he began driving to the airport. On his way there, he bombarded Mila with endless calls. However, not once did she pick up. Alas, when he finally arrived, he was just in time to see a plane slowly taking off. Gerald was so anxious at that moment that he was ready to make some arrangements to get a helicopter to catch up with her. However, before he could do anything rash, he received another text message. This one came directly from Mila. “Gerald, I’ll be returning to Hong Kong first. You don’t have to explain anything to me regarding what had happened today. I believe in you. To tell you the truth, I was acting out of spite earlier because of my jealousy. I honestly just wanted you to coax and paci

‘It seems that I can bump into him just about anywhere!’ ‘Regardless, it seems that Gerald is doing quite well. After all, instead of taking the normal train, he chose to take the rail instead!’ After the simple greeting, the two of them chatted for a while longer before Maia eventually stopped talking to him. While Gerald was simply trying to be nice to her, she didn’t seem to want to bother about him at all. Gerald was fine with that, and he simply did the same. After all, though it seemed like Maia was heading to the Salford Province to undergo some secret mission, Gerald wasn’t interested in it in the least. Meanwhile, Queta had just finished cutting up another fruit. She could see that Gerald and Maia seemed to know each other. What more, she was sitting just opposite them. Sensing the opportunity, Queta smiled as she asked Maia in a kind and warm tone, “I’ve just cut up a fruit, Miss. Would you like some?” “Thanks, but I don’t eat fruits!” declined Maia casually.
Chapter 655
County Salford was the city center of the Salford Province. Being the city center, it was always thriving and busy. Despite being a bustling city, the ten luxury cars parked in front of the ever-busy Salford High Rail Station were still particularly eye-catching. At that moment, the rail finally arrived at the station. Standing up, Gerald stretched slightly before getting off the rail together with Queta and Finnley. When he passed by Maia and her group of friends, however, he simply walked past them without greeting them at all. “Humph! Just look at that behavior! Who wants to bother about him anyway?” ‘How dare he not take the initiative to greet me?’ Maia thought to herself. She had never expected Gerald to end up becoming such a stubborn man. It was evident that Maia had a superiority complex. ‘If you had only greeted me, I would’ve refrained from bothering you. However, for a person like you to ignore me, your actions are similar to destroying a beautiful object! H
