Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 383 The nurse led Gerald downstairs to pay at the counter, though she felt somewhat skeptical about him.
What then could be the reason for her doubts?
It was all because of the way Gerald dressed. He didn’t look like one that would have much money on him.
The medical bill came up to 20,000 dollars, almost impossible for the average family to fork out, let alone someone like him.
Gerald proved her wrong, though. He paid the 20,000 dollars for the surgical fee and even settled the accommodation as well.
It was a whopping 30,000 dollars in total!
He paid for everything without even batting an eyelid.
The nurse was stunned, unable to move.
Gerald paid no attention to her and walked back to the hallway.
They were still fighting.
“Everyone, stop fighting, I’ve settled the bills,” said Gerald.
“Huh???”
Only then did the fight die down.
The siblings were stupefied when they heard that.
“You paid for everything? Gerald, it was 20,000 dollars! Where did you get the money from?” asked the eldest brother in astonishment.
“Well, not just 20,000 dollars, but this handsome lad paid 30,000 dollars, including the hospital bills!”
Unbeknownst to Gerald, the nurse had followed him all the way here.
“30,000 dollars?!”
The crowd became even more surprised.
In a worse state were Queenie and Clifton were even more embarrassed, considering how they kept mocking Gerald before this. Now, he had really forked out the money. They felt as if they had been slapped on the face, one hard slap after another.
“The money wasn’t stolen, right?” Clifton asked with a twisted face.
“Yeah, I remember an online news site reporting how someone lost their money! Gerald, did you happen to find that money and not return it?”
“It must have been it! Beware, someone might just call the police on you. That 30,000 dollars might just land you a death sentence!” Clifton warned viciously.
After all, he owned an entire enterprise, and it wasn’t surprising that he knew such things.
It was also precisely these words that scared Mrs. Winters.
“Gerald, where did you get that much money from anyway?”
“Oh, I just won the lottery, so there’s nothing to worry about, Mrs. Winters!” replied Gerald, smiling slightly. Although there was no reason for him to conceal his identity, he simply didn’t know what to tell Mrs. Winters.
Instead, he panicked and ended up lying.
Queenie and Clifton’s eyes opened wide the moment they heard that.
Especially Queenie.
“How much did you win?” she asked in an anxious hurry.
Mr. Winters’s eldest sons, the adults, thought that it was quite bold that a young girl like Queenie would ask such direct questions. She simply couldn’t suppress her suspicions.
Mr. Winters had always said Gerald was a nice young man, and he intended for them both to be betrothed.
But who would like a poor guy like Gerald?
So, Queenie rejected him.
When she heard Gerald say that he had won the lottery, she felt a jolt run through her body.
Holy sh*t! If he really did become a wealthy man, would that mean she missed her shot?
“Quick, tell me, Gerald. How much did you win?”
Queenie jumped to her feet.
Gerald simply laughed, while showing five fingers,
“Huh? Half a million?” Queenie stared in shock.
On the other hand, Mrs. Winters was delighted by the news.
“What? You really won half a million dollars?!”
“Don’t worry about it, auntie. Just relax. I’ve already paid for uncle’s medical bills.”
Gerald helped Mrs. Winters sit down.
On the other hand, Queenie felt super anxious, as though a swarm of ants was crawling all over her heart.
What could she do now?
From Gerald’s tone alone, he seemed to have won a lot more than just half a million.
Could it be five million?
Gosh!
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Thanks to Gerald getting ridiculed a while ago, he had chosen to conceal the specific value and make them guess instead.
For the next two days, Gerald didn’t go anywhere, staying by Mr. Winters’ side all the time in the hospital. The good news was that his condition was not serious, and he only needed to stay in the hospital for a while.
During lunchtime, he first waited for Mr. and Mrs. Winters to finish their meals.
When his belly started grumbling, he headed to the hospital’s cafeteria to get himself something to eat.
“Aren’t you, Gerald? You’re back!”
While he was queueing up for food, he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder.
When he looked back, he saw a beautiful girl, all made up and wearing a ponytail.
But even with the makeup on, Gerald still recognized her.
