Salute To The General

Chapter 2192

Things cleared up for Vernon that instant. He then issued a severe warning to Shangley and told him, "Remember what Mr. Cross said. Accept your punishments with grace, and do not attempt to cheat the system. If you do, I'll make sure that you will receive something even more

severe.

The Shulz howled, wept, and promised not to.

Nathan then told the mayor about Liliana's predicament. Mr. Vernon then declared that Liliana will resume her employment at the Park Maintenance Department. As a result of her professionalism today, she would be offered a promotion.

Liliana couldn't stop stammering her thanks at that. After that, Nathan escorted Leah into the ambulance and urged the driver to make haste to the hospital, as Leah's treatment had already been delayed.

As he was leaving, Mrs. Shulz's sobs of remorse rang in his ears.

Hopefully, she's feeling regretful to have landed in such a situation. Pity that there isn't a pill to cure remorse.

On the way to the hospital, Nathan repeatedly urged the driver to speed up.

Leah lay quietly on her stretcher and watched Nathan's handsome features scrunched up in worry for her - his mother-in-law who he treats like his very own. Instantly, her heart swelled with pride, and she was very pleased with him.

Nathan turned and saw Leah looking up at him endearingly. "What is it, mom?" he asked, disconcerted.

"Nothing, Nathan." Leah smiled. "Penny is lucky to have found you. We all are. I'd never thought that I would have such a wonderful son-in-law." "Don't say things like that, Mom," replied Nathan, smiling slightly. "Penny is the best gift in the world. It was my luck to have met her."

In the meantime, Mr. Vernon and his party arrived at the hospital at the same time the ambulance did.

He greeted the hospital staff personally. In honor of the mayor's request, the top specialists ran out to assess and prepared to treat Leah's injury. Nathan kept Leah company until she was wheeled into the operating theater, then called Penny to inform her.

Not long after, Penny came rushing to the hospital with Ava.

Penny was dressed in her work clothes, which included a tight skirt matched with black heels. Her hair was pinned up in a bun, making her look elegant and refined.

She was torn between feeling joy at her reunion with Nathan and worry for her mother.

When Penny saw him, she hurried over and asked, "Hubby, how's mom?"

"She was exercising at a park, and a bratty kid shoved her and mildly fractured her left leg. It's a minor operation, and she'll be good as new really soon, so don't worry."

Penny felt slightly at ease at his words.

She sat with Nathan on the bench outside the operating theater, holding hands. "What time did you reach home?" Penny asked.

"It was this morning, actually," Nathan replied. "I wanted to surprise you, but there was nobody home when I arrived."

Then, Penny asked Nathan about his trip to the military exercise.

It turned out that the motive of this year's Joint Military Exercise of a Hundred Nations was to intimidate Eurasia. That was why Penny did not know how it went, as the media was reticent to report it.

She was aware that with international news, the lesser it was talked about, the more complicated things actually were.

Therefore, that was why she was constantly worried for Nathan's safety.

“It wasn't a perfect conclusion.” Nathan laughed. “I would prefer to describe it as an unhappy

departure, the way things turned out."

Penny's eyes widened, her face full of fear. "Why do you say that? Did something happen with the other nations?"

"They were trying to start a fight.”

Nathan nodded. "I couldn't take it anymore, so I challenged their best men to duels, and I beat every single one of them. They were not happy with me at all."

"There weren't any serious injuries, were there?" Penny asked anxiously.

"Well, I'd beaten the military commander of Ariarica, Simone, to death. Not sure if that counts as serious."

"Oh my goodness, Nathan!" Penny screamed. "Will they pursue this and hold you accountable?"

"Don't worry. If they want to touch me, they'll have to first get through our government. Now that we are powerfuknation, not the soft and weak nation in the eyes of the Western powerhouses anymore, they wouldn't think twice to offend Eurasia."

Penny felt relieved at his words.

However, what she did not know was that Ariarica and the other nations were raising strong objections to Eurasia. Not only that, but they also had intentions to punish Nathan severely.
