The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1261

Even if any of them had personal opinions on the matter, none of them dared to speak a word. After all, while it was true that they would receive no shortage of awards and recognition should they succeed in saving the children, failure to save them would surely result in them being painted as a villain.

There was simply no way that any of them were going to willingly become a scapegoat.

“…Does nobody have anything to say at all…?” asked Zane, his tone rightfully urgent as he scanned through all the present doctors.

Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever he turned to look at any of them.

Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to end soon…

However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “I have a few ideas.”

Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the room immediately turned to see who had spoken. The individual in question had been sitting quietly in the corner of the conference room this entire time. If he hadn’t spoken up, there was a high chance that everyone would’ve simply continued ignoring him.

Regardless, everyone was confused as to why he was the one who had spoken up. After all, everyone had been under the assumption that he was simply one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices, drivers, or even secretaries.

“…Say, who even is he?”

“Isn’t he just one of Dr. Mabb’s apprentices…?”

“I don’t think so! From what I remember, Dr. Mabb only has two of them!”

While everyone was currently discussing among themselves as they looked at Gerald, Gerald himself paid them no attention. The important thing was that he had already witnessed all that had been shown on screen earlier.

With the addition of rapid organ failure to the list of symptoms, Gerald was already a hundred percent certain that the Soul Eater technique had been the cause of all this.

“Indeed I do,” replied Gerald, ignoring all the stares from the other doctors. His priority was to save the lives of all those babies, and being looked at contemptuously was nothing new to him anyway.

Now that he had everyone’s attention, he casually said, “The truth is, this isn’t an illness at all. The babies are currently in such a state since someone had drained them of their oxyblood, resulting in their organs failing! Due to their organs being in such poor condition, the babies are currently susceptible to infections!”

The second Gerald’s sentence ended, an uproar immediately broke out! Truth be told, several of the doctors wanted to laugh, but they refrained since they were currently facing such a serious situation.

“Young man, I heard Dr. Mabb calling you Mr. Crawford, so let’s just go with that. Regardless, I wonder if you’ve been watching too many movies. Please refrain from spouting nonsense when you don’t even understand what is going on here! Someone drained the babies’ oxyblood? Are you suggesting that we have a vampire on the loose? What more, the babies are new-borns who’ve never left the NCIU! Actually, do you even know what NCIU stands for? Since you probably don’t, it stands for Neonatal Care Unit! As an extra trivia, the air inside it is completely isolated!”

“To think that I had initially thought that you would actually provide us with a viable suggestion. As it turns out, you know nothing at all! Imagine if news about this gets published to the public! Society would definitely fall into disarray! Who even is this guy, Dr. Mabb?” asked one of the doctors as he continued glaring at Gerald.

“Please, just settle down for a minute, everyone!”
