Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1678

Penny gave him a wry smile. “Kylie told me that you're in trouble, and that you've been locked up. I got so scared. I asked my parents to take care of Queenie and then made my way here.

“After I got to the city, Colin and the other men told me everything's fine. But I couldn't stop worrying, so I came here with Kylie to visit you, but we were rejected every time we tried.

“Colin said you would be detained for three days, so Kylie and I decided to wait for you here, but then we were harassed by that hooligan.”

Nathan spoke to her softly, “I'm sorry I made you worry.

Kylie could not help but ask, “Nathan, weren't you put behind bars? How did you get here in a car?”

Nathan chuckled. “I was released this morning. Then I went to the White House.

“Soon I got wind that Penny's in town. I wasn't expecting that. I quickly asked for your location and came to get you as fast as I can.”

Kylie giggled. “Thank goodness you got here in time, otherwise that guy won't stop harassing

I" us!

Nathan thought: That's impossible. There are two members of the Elite Eight watching out for you in secret. Even if I didn’t show up, they would come out and teach that guy a lesson.

Penny, unsettled, enquired about the reason Nathan was taken in, “Hubby, your superior's punishment for you... is it over?”

Nathan grinned. “I was captured by President Hansel's men because of my reckless actions.

They locked me up in the Black Shack and told me to reflect on my actions.

“Being locked up in the Black Shack is a common occurrence in the military. Don't worry. I'm fine.”

Penny and Kylie felt relieved after hearing that.

Nathan looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner. He asked Penny what she would like to eat.

Penny replied with a faint smile, “Morning sickness doesn't really agree with me. I can't really tolerate greasy foods, and I don't seem to have much of an appetite.

Nathan responded, “Even so, you still have to eat. You're pregnant, Penny. It's not right to have irregular mealtimes.

“How's this? I hear there's this vegetarian restaurant in town called the Eight Treasures. They say their vegetarian dishes are exquisite. Many people came from all over to taste their food.

“Why don't we give it a try too?”
