Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2187

Leah sustained broken bones in her leg from the fall, but she held her tears.

When her son-in-law arrived, she finally broke down as she saw him exuding vengeance on her behalf.

Leah didn't have a son, and even her daughter was adopted.

Thus, she had always wanted a son who loved her, as she longed to be a part of a strong bond between a mother and her son.

As Leah gazed upon Nathan's fury on her behalf, she felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart. It was then when she finally understood and experienced the emotional bond she yearned for.

When Nathan saw his mother-in-law in tears, he and Colin hurriedly helped her up. “Mom, how are you? Is it serious? Colin, call her an ambulance right now.”

“Yes, sir!” Colin said.

Leah shook her head. “It hurts but nothing too serious,” she said. “Don't worry about it too much. I'm glad just to see you.”

Right then, Mrs. Shulz's shrill voice invaded his eardrums like the crash of cymbals. “Hey, brat, did you hear that? Your bloody mother said she's fine. How dare you approach my son head-on like that? Are you trying to frighten him?”

At the sound of her voice, Nathan's face grew even grimmer.

Turning to stare coldly at them, he said, “You didn't care about your son pushing my mother or about assaulting someone.

“But when I rushed towards you, you were afraid that your child would be scared?

“Do you think the world revolves around you and your family?”

Mrs. Shulz pursed her lips. “I'm not wasting any more time talking to you. I'm leaving with my son. If there isn't anything else, get out of my way.

As soon as she said that, Nathan's hand reached out in a swift motion.

Smack!

The power behind his slap was so immense that Mrs. Shulz spat a mouthful of blood. Her face appeared distorted from the swelling of her cheeks.

This smack had completely rattled the stout

woman.

Even Leah, Liliana, and the crowd surrounding them were shocked.
