The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 649 "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 simply felt like leaving at that moment. However, after giving it some thought, Gerald felt that Finnley's strange deduction wasn't completely unwarranted.

While the doctors from before had failed to pinpoint the cause of her illness, Finnley's theory did in fact match with some of her symptoms.

Gerald knew about this since he had heard about venom-based poisons before sometime in the past. Essentially, it worked similar to some viruses and bacteria, only the poison was instead excreted from a parasite that made its home in the human body.

His options were running low and Finnley sounded quite confident with himself.

'What if he really has some kind of way to cure her?'

"... Alright, since even the doctors have failed to diagnose her illness, could you please have a look at the patient?"

"Of course! I know about literally everything! As I've told you before, I'm not a beggar. I was quite powerful in the past!"

If it wasn't because Gerald was running out of options, he wouldn't be wasting his time with Finnley now. Then again, Finnley's hometown was southwest of the Salford Province. Maybe he really did know something about the illness.

That was the other reason why he was willing to at least give Finnley a try.

When both of them arrived at Queta's ward, Gerald saw that one of the older and more experienced practitioners of Chinese medicine from his medical team had stayed back to take care of Queta. He seemed to be performing acupuncture for her at that moment.

Several other Chinese medicine practitioners were also standing close by, respectfully observing and learning from him.

Even the Drake & Tyson duo were there.

Peeking into the ward, Finnley immediately sneered before saying, "What's the use of poking her body with those pathetic needles? What you're doing is utterly meaningless!" After he said that, both Gerald and the old man entered the ward.

"Who are you? How could you spout such nonsense to the exceptionally skillful Dr. Hudson? Somebody, kick him out immediately!" said a person standing at the side. He seemed to be the president of the hospital and he looked quite unhappy after hearing Finnley's remark.

Dr. Hudson had been quite famous for several years now. His juniors were rightfully angry as well since they had been both delighted and grateful to be even able to witness his medical skills in action. How could they just allow some old man to condemn him?

Dr. Hudson himself frowned slightly at Finnley's comment.

However, since Mr. Crawford had been the one who had brought him over, the doctor could only suppress his anger.

"Based on what you said, I'm assuming that you know a thing or two about medicine too, am I correct?" said Dr. Hudson as he snorted.

"Still, for an elderly man, you're still acting quite imprudently!"

"I'm far from imprudent! Now step aside!" said Finnley as he shoved Dr. Hudson to the side.

He then immediately took out the silver needles that Dr. Hudson had earlier inserted into Queta's arm.

"You-!" said Dr. Hudson in anger as his cheeks flushed red.
