Salute To The General
Chapter 5
Chapter 5 He Used To Work For Me
Nathan glanced at Walter Zahn and his wife, who were both lying half-dead on the floor. “Are they your subordinates?” he asked Thomas Dunn.
"Yes, he works for me,” Thomas Dunn acknowledged with shame, “His name is Walter Zahn.” Nathan instantly flew into a rage, “Tell me, who gave you the authority to send out the armed forces for no valid reason, other than to parade them around like troupers?”
“That was my mistake, Sir. I will accept any punishment.” Thomas Dunn was full of remorse.
“Hand in your resignation once you've returned to camp. You are not fit for the post!” ordered Nathan.
“Yes, Sir. Thank you for your advice. I shall reflect on my mistake,” Thomas Dunn said humbly and reverently.
“That's good to hear.” Thomas Dunn won a nod of approval from Nathan for his positive attitude. Thomas Dunn then turned towards the couple on the floor. “What are you still waiting for?” He barked at them, “Get on your knees and apologize! If you upset my Sir again, I'll make sure you won't live to see the next day.”
Walter Zahn and his wife clambered to their knees, groveling for forgiveness at Nathan's feet.
"Go and apologize to my wife and daughter.” Nathan was impassive to their plea.
They scrambled hastily to kneel in front of Penny and her daughter while sobbing with grief, “Mrs. Cross, Ms. Cross, it was all our fault. We were simply blinded by our own foolishness. Please have mercy on us and let us go, we beg you!”
Penny had recovered from her initial shock and fear. Her kind-hearted nature was easily swayed. Looking at the pathetic couple before her, she suggested to Nathan, “Why don't we give them a chance, since they look like they have genuinely repented? Besides, they have already received the punishment that they deserve.”
“Sure, as long as it pleases you, my dear.” Nathan's lips curved into a rare, tender smile.
His cheeky reply made her flush red.
Thomas Dunn could tell from the softness in Penny's eyes that she had already forgiven them. "What are you two still waiting for?"He shouted at Walter Zahn and his wife,
"Scram!”
The frantic couple seized the opportunity and stumbled to the door in feverish haste with their fat son in tow, as if they were running away from a huge catastrophe.
Thomas Dunn offered to throw a lavish welcoming party for Nathan, but the latter rejected his offer, making known his desire to spend some quality time with his family instead.
With a knowing look in his eyes, Thomas Dunn disappeared promptly and left Nathan with his family.
Nathan carried Queenie in his arms as the trio made their way out of the kindergarten.
"You're so awesome, Papa.” Little Queenie beamed with pride as she gazed at her father. “Now that you're back, I'm sure that nobody would dare to bully Mama and me again.”
“That's right, my princess,” Nathan said in a tone full of indulgence. “Papa will never let anyone bully you and Mama again.”
Penny listened quietly from the side with tears rolling down her cheeks. Queenie's elated face was a sight to behold.
