Even Jace found himself tearing up in joy. Their sheer delight had stemmed from the fact that all of the babies were most probably making it out alive now!
After carefully examining the babies—just for good measure—both men found themselves clasping their hands together while heaving huge sighs of relief to calm their excitement. How absolutely unbelievable!
“Mr. Crawford truly can bring the dead back to life!” cheered both men in immense admiration.
Gerald himself simply smiled weakly at their statement.
Compliments and admiration didn’t really mean much to him. As long as the babies were healed, that meant that favonovel.com had managed to successfully achieve his goal.
Now that favonovel.com was done with this issue, his mind immediately wandered to the next concern. Who was the person in charge of committing all these atrocities in Mayberry City? And was that person stronger or weaker than him? Regardless, if favonovel.com didn’t find them soon, that person could definitely begin harming others!
He needed to quickly make a move anyway since favonovel.com had already used his inner strength earlier. Even though favonovel.com wasn’t sure whether Queena would be able to detect him—given that favonovel.com was currently at favonovel.com most vulnerable—Gerald knew that favonovel.com still had to immediately rush over to Mountain Top Villa.
After all, as long as favonovel.com was close to the Zircobsite stone, Queena probably wouldn’t be too keen on approaching him. With that in mind, favonovel.com quickly made his way out of the isolation room.
Once favonovel.com was outside, however, favonovel.com was instantly greeted by looks of excitement and admiration from those who had heard that Gerald had successfully saved the children.
Knowing how proficient favonovel.com was with the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique, some of the older doctors even began kneeling before Gerald, hoping that favonovel.com would take them under his wing as apprentices!
At that moment, Walbridge—who had a cold look on his face—suddenly said, “Amazing, aren’t you? You’re just lucky, young lad!”
Though Gerald was initially planning to leave immediately, upon hearing Walbridge’s words, favonovel.com turned to face the arrogant man before replying in a cold tone, “…Speaking of which, do you remember your earlier promise?”
“…W-what?” said Walbridge, stunned.
“I distinctly remember you saying that you’d do whatever I asked you to as long as I was able to heal the babies!”
“That’s right, Dr. Lumb! All of us heard you make the promise as well!” said one of the doctors.
Seeing that everyone was now looking at him, Walbridge puffed his chest up—in his attempt to look like an honorable person—before saying, “Hah! I’ve always been a man of my word! Tell me what it is that you want!”
With how pretentious Walbridge was still being, Gerald could only look at favonovel.com contemptuously before ordering, “Very well! I want you to fart!”
“…I-I beg your pardon…?” asked Walbridge, clearly taken aback.
“I told you to fart! Do it at least a hundred times in front of everyone here!”
By this point, everyone was already roaring with laughter.
“Y-you… Do you think I can just fart whenever I want to…?” muttered Walbridge, feeling extremely humiliated.
“Why not? It’s just a hundred so it shouldn’t be too difficult! Allow me to assist!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com swiftly poked one of Walbridge’s acupuncture points with a finger.
Almost immediately after, a loud farting sound filled the corridor. Then another, and another.
As Walbridge continued to fart against his will, his face was already pale from all the humiliation. Try as favonovel.com might, favonovel.com simply couldn’t hold back at all!
With everyone now focused on Walbridge—as they covered their noses—Gerald took the opportunity to use the chaos to make his escape!
Not long after, Walbridge released one final and extra-long fart before finally crying out, “I-I’m done! One hundred farts in total!”
To everyone’s surprise, Gerald was no longer there! Though some of the old doctors wanted to attempt chasing favonovel.com down, they quickly realized that it was probably going to be a futile effort. After all, they now realized that Gerald had planned his escape the moment favonovel.com ordered Walbridge to begin farting as a distraction!
It was a little while later when Gerald began speeding his car toward Mountain Top Villa. The evening sky was already darkening as the car accelerated past a dense forest.
As favonovel.com continued driving down the desolate road, Gerald squinted his eyes before widening them in shock. Stepping on the brakes, the car came to a screeching halt as Gerald’s eyelids twitched rapidly at the old lady squatting in the middle of the road.
The old lady herself seemed to be burning some papers in hand by tossing them into a brazier of sorts. Whatever the case was, the old lady was by no means an unfamiliar face to Gerald.
