It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 191

Justin smiled delightedly, and said, "Uncle Mark, what takes you so long to come to see me?" He was always pleased to see his uncle Mark dressed in the olive green uniform. He began to miss the days he had spent with his uncles in the military base. He didn't know if the old Commander had assigned too much work to his mom after his leave, but he was sure that she could prove to be a match for everything his cunning would throw at her. And about Lieutenant Colonel Hank, Justin also wondered whether he was still picking at his mother constantly.

"I trained with your mom. And shortly after we returned from our training, we began to busy ourselves again with the military exercises. Haven't you noticed that your mother was very busy these last couple of days?

Anyway, the worst thing was that Hank asked your mother to fight one-on-one with him, even though he knew that your mom was already wounded. It scared me half to death!" While he was talking, Mark was looking everywhere around the living room, and although Daisy had already asked him to feel at home, everything around him still seemed to be a little bit too luxurious for him to handle. He pretended to be calm and relaxed, because, thanks to Daisy and the long periods of time that he had spent with her, over time, Mark had managed to learn some sort of indifference to everything from her.

"What? That snake committed some acts of hubris to mom again? Is my mom okay?" Justin was upset when he heard this. Although the wound wasn't that serious, the stitches still could've split.

"Um! The wound reopened, and your mom went to the infirmary to get new stitches..." Mark still felt frightened when he thought of this. The procedure involved pulling out the old sutures, reducing the inflammation and disinfecting it again, which all sounded to be very painful. The sweat that had come from Daisy's face had been enough proof for it.

"Damn! Why is that man so stubborn? What about Uncle Kevin? Didn't he help to mediate?" Justin knew his mom very well. His mother never backed down when people offended her, and always accepted the challenge with pride.

"Kevin didn't know about it only until they finished their match," replied Mark. He had never treated Justin as an ordinary child, because Justin's sense of strategy was even tougher than his. That was why Daisy reported everything to Justin.

"And? What happened? Was Hank put down?" Justin was well aware of Lieutenant Colonel Hank's power, but he only had the guts to offend his mother because of his highly placed connections.

"Yes! Your mother won all rounds! It made me feel like Hank asked for it, and that he enjoyed torturing himself. If that's not the case, then why would he challenge your mother every time just to lose?" Mark didn't understand why Lieutenant Colonel Hank did this again and again. Sometimes, he even admired his strong resilience.

"He is an indestructible cockroach, he lives for taking beatings from people. He can't survive without them," snorted Justin, disgusted by Lieutenant Colonel Hank.
