Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2258

Benson and Leah rushed toward Nathan, worried that the young man might have gotten hurt from the fight.

They were relieved when they found him well. “Nathan, he is Penn's real father,” Benson said with a hint of caution in his voice. “To some extent, he's your father-in-law—but of course —that is if Penn acknowledges him as her father, but still, you shouldn't have broken his leg.”

Nathan smiled at the old man. “Well,” he replied confidently, “I'll think about it when Penn really calls him her father. Besides, given how influential and powerful the Camden family is, they would have already found Penn over the past twenty years if they wanted to. They obviously have an ulterior motive to come looking for her now. It's Cross Corporation that they are eyeing. This family is as heartless as they can get. They did not even flinch when they deserted Penn years back. Now that they're back for her, I'm sure she won't give them a chance. There’s no way they can be her family again.”

Nathan glanced quickly at Benson and Leah as he tidied his clothes.

“Not to mention, how can I just sit and watch when he is being insolent toward both of you?”

The old couple smiled in gratitude.

Their hearts warmed knowing that Nathan cared deeply for them. “We can never ask for a better son-in-law.”

Nathan smiled back, picking up a container of food from beside him. “I heard fish soup is good for health, so I got some for you guys. Try some.”

His act of kindness almost brought Benson and Leah to tears.

Although Nathan was not their biological son, he was as dear as a son to them. He had taken good care of the old folks and was attentive to their needs.

Seeing them standing there looking at him, Nathan hurried them into the kitchen to eat.

He waited for them to be seated before calling the Elite Eight over. They were to take turns to keep watch on Benson and Leah to make sure nothing happened again.

Nathan saw to it that necessary arrangements were made before he set out to Sally's Seafood to have a meal with Penny, who had been waiting eagerly for him all the while.

She wondered what took him so long, but Nathan, knowing her worry, decided not to tell her the truth.

Instead, he said the traffic was congested.

Over at the hospital, Kristoff was anticipating good news from Bowen, but to his dismay, he received disquieting updates.

It turned out that Bowen, who had gone to Nathan intending to teach him a lesson, ended up with a lame leg, thanks to Nathan.

More ironically, Bowen was sent to the same premium hospital Kristoff was at, and they were staying right next to each other.

“So you're telling me Nathan gave Bowen a kick in the ass?” Kristoff was amused.

“Did you say he's staying next door?”

His subordinates nodded uneasily.
