Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 133
Gerald felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the cry for help.

He hastily rushed over.

The moat was pretty desolate as there were no parks or anything else nearby.

The woman was crying and she was drenched from head to toe.

When she saw Gerald, she almost collapsed to her knees. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please help save my daughter!”

The woman was beautiful and appeared to be wearing a lot of fine jewelry. It seemed as though she was quite a figure.

She hurriedly pointed at the river and Gerald could see a young girl flailing about in the water.

Her daughter had obviously tripped into the water. The woman tried to rescue her daughter but she could only plead desperately for help as she didn’t know how to swim.

Gerald watched in horror as the young girl’s body slowly stopped moving and started sinking.

He knew that it would be way too late if he did not act upon it now.

Without thinking twice, he dove into the river at an accelerated speed.

Gerald’s family used to live in a village in a small county town. There was a river by the village and Gerald learnt how to swim ever since he was a young child.

Fortunately, the water in this moat was not too deep.

Thankfully, the young girl knew some basic swimming skills which made it easier for Gerald to save the young girl, but the experience she went through was simply daunting, though without any serious mishaps.

After he carried the young girl up, the child choked a little and her face was flushed red.

Her mother was so distressed and she kept patting her back gently. She kept thanking Gerald profusely.

“Call 120 first!”

“Yes, the child is too young. Oh! What kind of mother are you? How can you allow your child to come to the water all by herself?”

Several citizens ran over as soon as they heard the commotion.

Some were making phone calls while several older women started criticizing the young mother.

“Don’t accuse my mom. Uncles and aunties, please don’t scold my mom. Tessa is the one who insisted on coming here to release my wishing boat. This has nothing to do with my mom!”

As soon as the young girl heard her mother getting ridiculed, she cried out in defense as she tried to explain herself.

“What an obedient child!”

“Yes, she is really a good young lady. Ma’am, you have to take good care of your child. If this man did not rush over here on time, the consequences would have been disastrous!”

“This young man is quite amazing!”

A few citizens who were standing at the side looked at Gerald who was completely drenched, with a look of admiration on their faces.

The mother hurriedly hoisted a weak Tessa over as slowly walked over to Gerald.

“Young man, thank you so much. What is your name? Where do you live?”

She asked for his address as she wanted to thank Gerald.
