Salute To The General



An hour later, things had quietened down and everything seemed peaceful.

However, it was not long before Nathan and Penny's voices filled the silence in the room again.

Penny whispered, "Hubby, I've been wanting another child, but I'm not sure if I'll get pregnant this time."

Previously, Penny did have a second pregnancy.

However, she had a miscarriage due to an accident.

As a result, it negatively impacted her physical and mental health.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Now that she had finally recovered from the trauma and felt better again, she started to hope for another baby.

She wanted to bear a son for Nathan to carry his bloodline.

Nathan hugged his wife and softly comforted her, "We'll let nature run its course. If you don't get pregnant this time, we can always try again. If you do, we'll make sure to bring it to this world."

In response, Penny nodded but said nothing else.

After some time had passed, she could not help but mutter, "Hubby, I heard that an angel would enter the mother's womb in every pregnancy. If you have a miscarriage, the angel will leave too. Where do you think the angel in my tummy went after I had a miscarriage the last time?"

While Leah was a loyal Buddhist, Benson was a Christian.

Influenced by her parent's beliefs, Penny also believed in reincarnation.

She had suffered a lot of emotional damage when she had her miscarriage, and it had been haunting her since.

When Nathan heard what she said, he knew that she had not completely let go of the past.

After a short pause, he replied, "I believe the angel would still grow up blissfully in another family even though he didn't become our child." Listening to his words, Penny tightened her grip around her husband. "Yes, I think so too. The angel probably went to another family and someone else had given birth to him. I'm sure he is having a good life."

Nathan chuckled. "You know, I realized that without my company, you tend to overthink. At this rate, you might go crazy without me.”

Penny could not help but giggle too. "Well, I wish you could stay by my side all day and every day."

"That isn't impossible."

Nathan then explained, "Cross Group is currently on the right path, so you can gradually start to delegate work to others. After all, it doesn't matter as long as you can control the company's overall direction. I also plan to bring all of you over to Brimmopolis. That way, we can balance both our work and family lives. What are your thoughts on it?"

"We can do what you say," Penny replied.

"Then it's decided. Tomorrow, you can discuss it with Dad and Mom to get their opinions on it. If everyone is willing to move, I'll make the

necessary arrangements in O Brimmopolis."

"Sounds good," Penny said.

The next day, Nathan woke up to have breakfast with the rest of the family.

Suddenly, Colin rushed in. His face looked pale, as though something disastrous had occurred.

It was the first time Nathan had seen Colin look so lost.

Frowning, he questioned, "Colin, what's wrong?"

"Sir, something big had happened, and I have an urgent report for you," Colin uttered.

Immediately, Nathan gestured to the study room. "Let's talk in my study room."

After they entered the room, they closed the door.

Then, Colin turned to Nathan and stammered, "Sir, things don't look good. Our president's health is in a bad state."

The frown on Nathan's forehead deepened. "What do you mean? What is his diagnosis, and how bad is it?"

"He has last-stage cancer." Colin dropped the bomb.

Nathan widened his eyes in disbelief. "What? How did he find out only now?"

Colin reported, "I'm not sure either.

Logically speaking, his doctors

should have picked it up during his

annual medical examination.

However, things somehow turned out this way." He then added, "According to my sources, he had a backache recently. He assumed it was because of his sedentary lifestyle and went to the doctors to get a checkup. However, they noticed something was wrong and sent him for further testing. This morning, they finally diagnosed that it was late-stage kidney cancer."

Nathan took in a sharp breath.

Although Cross Group had developed drugs to combat cancer, it had only been proven successful for liver cancer. The medicine for other types of cancer was still in the research stages.

President Woods has kidney cancer'. I can't believe it'.

If anything happened to Garrett, there would be chaos in the country.

Immediately, Nathan called for

Penny and instructed her to gather a team of medical experts from Cross Group. He wanted them to bring their latest medical research and medicine for cancer to visit Garett with him.
