Salute To The General



After Nathan returned home, he called Zion.

In the call, Nathan informed Zion he was feeling a little under the weather recently. As such, he hoped the latter would take on more of the workload.

Immediately, Zion asked Nathan to rest up. In the meantime, the former would ensure the Cab and Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor would continue functioning properly and that its employees would not slack off since the president was away.

Right after Nathan hung up the phone, Penny knocked on the door and entered. "Hubby, it's time to eat," she whispered.

Nathan replied, "Okay."

Although Penny wanted to help Nathan up, the latter held her hand and smiled. "I'm just suffering from severe side effects after exhausting myself. It's not like I'm badly injured. Besides, how could I ask a pregnant woman to take care of me? I should be the one taking care of you instead."

Upon hearing that, Penny was touched.

When she saw Nathan at the airport that day, she thought something had happened to him after noticing his white hair and tired expression. Therefore, she was so worried that she started crying.

It was only when she knew Nathan had overworked himself from battling that she felt relieved. Plus, the military doctor had promised multiple times that Nathan could return to his old self in about one to three months, including regaining his black hair.

At that moment, she let her husband lead her out of the study and downstairs to the dining room on the first floor.

Penny glanced at her husband, noticing that his white hair did not make him look any less handsome. On the contrary, he seemed even more dashing than usual.

It made him look less mature and more devilish.

Well, what's there to do about it? The white hair is to be blamed. Nathan is undoubtedly handsome, but the white makes him stand out more. It's as if he's a pompous son from a wealthy family.

When Nathan noticed his wife peeking at him, he asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

Penny answered, “I'm thinking about how your white hair complements your dashing face. You look like those stylish male celebrities or even those arrogant young men from affluent families. How are you going to hold a meeting with the ministers from the Cab or the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor with such a stylish look? Don't forget about making a public appearance in the news too."

At that, Nathan smiled bitterly. "With my appearance right now, I should stay away from getting pictured by the media. It's going to be bad publicity. As for my job, I've already arranged everything. I will be resting for a month before returning to work."

At that, he stared at his wife and

continued gently, "I've been too busy this year, so this is the perfect

chance for me to spend time with et

you and Queenie. As I'm stopping work due to my health condition, I can keep you and Queenie company, fulfilling my duties as a husband and a father."

Penny smiled and answered, "Okay! Speaking of your responsibility as a father, you haven't visited your goddaughter Maisy for a long time. You're

her godfather, you know. How about we wait a few days until your health recovers a little and head to the West and visit her?"

Nathan immediately agreed with Penny's suggestion, “Sure, sure. It's about time I go and visit Maisy. You can do the arrangements.”

Maisy Woods was Nathan's goddaughter and also the daughter of the late Garrett.

Before Garrett passed away, he had entrusted his daughter to Nathan, asking him to take care of her.

Nathan had also promised to treat Maisy as if she were his daughter.

Unfortunately, Paisley was unwilling to stay at Brimmopolis after Garrett passed away. Instead, she brought Maisy back to their hometown in the West, deciding to return to where she came from.

Whenever Nathan bought gifts for his daughter, he would also purchase one for Maisy and send it to the West.

However, Nathan had not personally been to the West to visit his goddaughter because he was busy with work.

Since he was recuperating and had time, he decided to head over.

Three days later, Nathan had recovered enough that they could make the trip. He, Penny, and Queenie kept a low profile and boarded a plane to the West with Colin, Ava, and the Elite Eight in tow. All of them were dressed in the simplest clothing they owned.

After flying for a few hours, they arrived at the West.

Right afterward, Nathan and the group switched transports and took the train. It took them two to three hours to arrive at a remote city of the West— Xendale.

After Nathan and the group arrived at Xendale, Colin told Nathan, "It's going to take us another two hours before we can arrive at Mr. Wood's house Plus, it'll be a bumpy ride. Should I order someone to send a couple of sedans for us to get there? OP should we take the bus?"

Nathan pointed at everyone's simple attire. "Do you know why I asked everyone to wear your simplest outfit? It's because I don't want people to misunderstand that we're here for show. I do not wish for the Woods family to feel pressured by my status. I'm only here as a godfather to visit my goddaughter and see if she's doing well or if she needs any help. Therefore, we should keep it simple and not ride a sedan there. It's too flashy, and it gives people the idea of a supervisor here to check on his subordinates. That's not a good feeling to give off. Let's just take the bus. It's a good opportunity for us to experience how ordinary citizens go about."

Therefore, Nathan and the group boarded a bus.
