Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2421

In the end, Leroy returned home with his face swelled up and his spirit ashamed and enraged.

Everyone in the Quillen residence saw the powerful Mr. Leroy returning in such a disheveled state. They were surprised and curious, but no one had the guts to ask him what had happened.

Inside the study room.

Cayden was polishing a sword. His gaze on the sword carried so much tenderness that it was as though he were looking at his lover.

The truth was that years ago, the woman he loved had given him that sword.

Back then, the two of them were promoted to major-general, and they were both regarded as the up-and-coming stars within the army.

They were competitors but were also friends who helped each other grow to be better.

They got together a little after the two of them were promoted to major-general.

Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness shortly after.

The sword named Arowana was the last gift she gave him.

Cayden could still remember every word she said when she gave him the sword.

"I thought I will fight beside you for the rest of our lives, but this illness has come after me, and I will leave soon. I can't stay with you forever, so I will give you this sword. It will keep you company in my place, and I believe you will achieve greatness."

Cayden caressed the sword he had with him. It was still as sharp as ever, but the woman he loved was long gone.

He was still reminiscing about his bittersweet past when the door to the study room was suddenly flung open. Leroy barged in while looking all upset.

Layden sheathed his sword immediately. In a stoic voice, he said, "Didn't I tell you to knock before you enter a room? Why are you being so rude? This is very disrespectful."

Leroy tilted his head down and whispered, "Sorry, Layden. I was wrong."

Layden shot a look at his baby brother. Then, he

asked, "You look terrible. What happened?"

Leroy angrily roared, "That Nathan Cross is at it again!"

After that, he told his brother about everything that had happened in the hospital.
