“…It’s a long story. Regardless, just rest easy and focus on healing for now… I’ll tell you more about it in the future…”
Now that he had located the eternal coffin, it only made sense for Gerald to return to his family as soon as he could. After all, there were still multiple mysteries that had yet to be solved.
It was the second reason why he had called the helicopter over. The main reason, of course, was because he was extremely worried about Giya’s condition.
“We’re nearing the island now, Mr. Crawford. However, it seems that something is happening at the mouth of the island. Quite a lot of people are currently down there…” said one of the Crawford bodyguards who were present in the helicopter.
“…Hmm?” said Gerald as he immediately stood up and looked out the helicopter’s window.
Just as the bodyguard had said, his grandfather and many others could be seen standing at the mouth of the island. However, they seemed to be discussing something with a woman he couldn’t quite recognize, at least from his current height. As a result, he was at least sure that they definitely weren’t standing there to welcome his return.
“Take care of Miss Quarrington. I’ll be heading down there to have a look!” ordered Gerald as he slid the helicopter’s door open before jumping off!
“Gerald?!”
“Mr. Crawford!”
‘By god! We’re currently over two thousand feet above the ground!’ Thought both of them, feeling completely astonished as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.
However, they had clearly forgotten that Gerald was now no longer an ordinary man. Due to that, he landed quite easily before the crowd, greatly shocking several of his family’s present bodyguards.
“…W-what… M-Mr. Crawford is back!” shouted several of the guards in both respect and fear.
How the hell had Mr. Crawford safely descended from the sky like that?!
Even Daryl and Dylan—who had been standing at the side—found themselves slightly shocked.
Quickly getting over his surprise, Daryl’s eyes lit up with excitement as he delightfully said, “Gerald! You’re back!”
“Indeed I have, grandpa. Were you worried about me?” said Gerald as he walked closer to the group.
At that moment, Gerald watched as the woman from before squeezed out from the crowd, a baby in her arms. The moment her eyes met Gerald’s, she immediately looked at her baby before saying, “Haha! Mable, look! Your father’s home!”
