Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 653

That night, Lenard and his family fled back to Alberesque with their tails between their legs.

Nathan picked up the unconscious Kylie and personally drove her to the hospital.

One hour later, Kylie finally woke up, due to the efforts of the doctors and nurses.

When she had been unconscious, she had experienced a long and somewhat embarrassing dream.

Her eyelids fluttered before opening slowly. The first thing she saw was the anxious and worried face of Nathan. In a quavering voice, she queried, "Nathan, are you real?"

Bewildered, Nathan questioned, "What do you mean by 'real'?"

She hurriedly shook her head, not elaborating further.

Realizing that she was lying on a hospital bed, she asked him what had happened to her.

He gave her a quick rundown of the earlier events.

When he was done, Kylie's eyes were wide. "You saved me, again!"

Nathan smiled and answered, "You're Penny's cousin and my sister-in-law; of course I would help you."

She nodded. Recalling the shameful dream she had experienced earlier, she tensed and bit her lip. Her eyes studiously avoided his as she mumbled, "When I was unconscious, did I sleep talk or maybe shout someone's name?"

He blinked at the odd question. "No. Who were you calling out for?"

"No one! It's nothing!" She blushed and shook her head vigorously.

Annoyed, he huffed, "You weirdo. If you're feeling okay, you'd better hurry home before Penny worries."

The next morning.

Sean and the Smith's invited Chris over to their house, intending on asking him to help protect them again.

When Penny caught wind of this, she came over as well.

Everyone stared at Chris hopefully, as they waited for his answer.

Ferlyn tugged on his arm, cooing, "Chris, General Bachok is going to arrive in Channing today. Hurry up and talk to your superiors. You have to get an army to protect us just like last time."

Penny's eyes grew round when she remembered how Nathan had said that he would force Lenard to return the money he had taken from her grandfather.

Penny's heart started to beat faster in her chest. Could he be referring to Nathan?

Unable to hold back their curiosity, Sean and the others pestered Chris for more information.

"I can't say who he is!" Chris cried out with a bitter smile.

Seeing as they would not be getting an answer from him, the Smith's fervently discussed this amongst themselves as they tried to guess who this mysterious man could be.

At that moment, a voice rang out smugly from the doorway, "That man would be me!”

Everyone snapped their heads around to look at the owner of the voice in shock.

A man dressed in a white suit with gold-rimmed glasses swaggered inside, several lackeys following along behind him.
