Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 179

Simple?

Penny and her family stared at Nathan wide-eyed, taken aback at his words.

Nathan continued, 'Til call Dr. Rothschild and get him to come from North Army General Hospital to operate on the patients."

The family members beamed with delight and chipped in, "Are you serious? Don't try to fool us. We won't let you off easy!"

Penny was anxious upon hearing his words. "Nathan, don't overpromise them. It's not easy to get a hold of Dr.

Rothschild."

"Rumor has it that even a tycoon could not even get Dr. Rothschild to operate on him, even after offering him a billion."

Nathan knew the tycoon was uncharitable with his wealth. It was because of this that Dr. Rothschild had refused to save him.

Plus, Nathan Cross was the general of the Northern army. Dr. Rothschild had been the one to suture his wounds every single time.

It would not be an overstatement to say that Dr. Rothschild was Nathan Cross's personal doctor.

Nathan grinned, "Though other people might not be able to get Dr. Rothschild for a billion, I can get him rushing to my aid with only ten."

The family members at the scene were dumbfounded. They realized that he was not only overclaiming but even bluffing them!

The tycoon could not even get Dr. Rothschild with ten billion, yet you're telling us that you could get him with only ten bucks? Who do you think you are? The Northern General?

Penny panicked and added, "Nathan, I beg you to stop messing around. Please stop making things worse."

She chased Nathan out of the ICU afterwards.

She did not want him to aggravate the family members further and get beaten up in the end.

Nathan could only smile bitterly after being chased out by Penny.

He went to a place with nobody around and took out his phone to call Dr.

Rothschild who was thousands of miles away. He ordered, "Dr, please come to Channing and help me save a few severely injured people."

Nathan went back to the ICU after he was done making the call.

Penny dragged Nathan away afterwards, afraid he might cause a ruckus with him overclaiming things.

Nathan could only put on a bitter smile as he was dragged out of the hospital by his wife.

Nathan asked Penny where they were heading when both of them got in the car.

Penny replied, "To the Adventist Private Hospital. We're going to get Dr. Steele to operate on the three workers."

Nathan was helpless and added, "Honey, I've already told you that I've called Dr. Rothschild to come to Channing..."

Penny did not believe him at all and could not help but be frustrated at his delusion, "Right. Stop bluffing and drive to the Adventist Private Hospital.”

Nathan felt helpless at his wife's demeanor. However, he thought it could be quite taxing for Dr. Rothschild to operate on three workers consecutively as he was already getting on in age.

Since this Richard Steele used to be Dr. Rothschild's student, it would not be a bad idea to ask him to be the secondary surgeon to lessen Dr. Rothschild's burden.

So, he complied and drove toward Adventist Private Hospital.
