Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel 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.
