The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1116

In a way, her face at least to Gerald-was a textbook example of an oriental beauty.

Shaking the thoughts off, Gerald quickly ran over to her and checked her pulse while asking, "Are you alright?"

Getting no response, Gerald deduced that she had fainted from losing too much blood.

'This wound would've been fatal if I hadn't found you any sooner!' Gerald thought to himself as he immediately rushed her over to the Yarne family manor.

It was early the next morning when Yume Gunter slowly opened her eyes to the lingering scent of medicine. Looking around, she saw that she was in some sort of luxurious room.

The moment she tried to sit up, however, she immediately let out a yelp.

Someone had dressed her up in pajamas!

Her immediate response was warranted since it was natural for women to be particularly sensitive toward being changed by strangers. This was especially so for Yume who was quite traditional-minded. However, she did notice that the person had also bandaged the injuries around her stomach. Even so, she knew she needed to get out.

Forcefully dragging her still injured body off the bed, she eventually managed to get to her feet. Upon opening the door, she saw a small portion of what seemed to be a courtyard and her old clothes hanging on a rack that a young man was currently standing beside.

The man himself was facing the courtyard while looking at some kind of picture.

Hearing the door open, Gerald sipped his tea before putting the picture down and turning around to say, "So you're finally awake..."

"... Were you the one in charge of putting me in these pajamas?" asked Yume as she glared at Gerald while biting her bright-red lower lip.

Gerald simply nodded slightly in response.

"You! Who allowed you to touch me?!" shouted Yume as she glared daggers at him.

"You'd have died if I hadn't touched you! If you hadn't bumped into me last night you would've died not long after!" replied Gerald. "Then... My current innerwear..."

"Would you have preferred to remain in blood-drenched clothes? And it's not like I could tend to your wounds with your clothes on!" "You... You b*stard!" roared the woman as she threw a vase directly at him!

Catching it with his free hand, Gerald then sighed before replying, "Look, I just made this tea... Could you calm down for a bit...?" While the woman was undoubtedly charming-possibly even as pretty as Lyra-she had an extremely short fuse.

At that moment, the door leading outside from Gerald's side-was opened and a few maids stepped in.

One of them then said, "Mr. Yarne has invited you over to the living room to discuss some affairs, sir!"

"I see," replied Gerald.

Gerald was currently within a top-notch manor that Wagner had arranged for him in order for the youth to avoid any disruptions from unnecessary people.

After hearing his reply, the maids turned to look at the woman next as another maid exclaimed, "Alas! Why did you get out of bed, miss? We've just bandaged your wounds so you have to refrain from moving around too much!"

"...Come again? Were you the ones who bandaged my clothes? ...Then... About my clothes..."

"Well of course we were the ones who changed you into them! We did so immediately after the master brought you back!" replied another maid.

Upon hearing that, Yume took a brief glance at Gerald while thinking, ... If that's the case, then I've accused him of something he hasn't done...!'

"...Why did you admit to doing all that if you hadn't done any of it?" asked Yume.

"I didn't. You were the only one assuming what had happened!" replied Gerald as he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Regardless, you there. It's about time to reapply medicine on her. Remember to apply it every three hours so that no scars will be left behind on her stomach once her injuries heal," added Gerald as he smiled subtly at one of the maids.

"Yes sir!"

Following that, he smiled while nodding at Yume before heading off to meet Wagner.

Watching him walk off, Yume couldn't help but think, '... Why does that person feel so familiar... I wonder if it's just because he saved me...'

The moment Gerald was gone, the maids instantly gathered around her before sincerely saying, "Pardon us, miss, but you're extremely beautiful! Truth be told, you're probably the most beautiful woman any of us have ever seen on this planet!"

Hearing their words of admiration, Yume instantly lowered her charming face to hide her reddened cheeks.

"I appreciate the compliments... Also, thank you for saving me!"

"No problem, miss! Speaking of which, how did you get hurt, miss...? You were seriously injured last night and from what the master told us, your stomach wasn't hurt by an ordinary blade!" asked another maid in surprise as the group of maids slowly supported her back into the room.
