Salute To The General

Chapter 1904



Nathan hugged his wife.

Penny rested her head against his chest. Her shoulders trembled as she sobbed softly.

Nathan cooed sweetly and softly for a long time.

Slowly but surely, Penny's emotions calmed down, and she sobbed less.

She tilted her head up. Tears were still in her eyes, and her voice was thick when she said, "Hubby, I don't want us to be apart..."

Nathan chuckled and promised, "Silly girl, this is a small war. It won't drag out and will be over soon. I will return victorious before you know it." Nathan made everything sound simple, but

Penny knew that war was unpredictable and anything could change the tide. Everybody's life hung on the line all the time, so things could not possibly be that simple.

Her eyes were watery when she looked into his eyes. Her coarse voice then said, "Promise me that you will come back, no matter what. Our daughter and I will be home waiting for you."

Nathan nodded and replied, "I promise."

Nathan and Penny held each other close and talked for some time.

They eventually planned for their future. Penny shared that she wanted to have another kid, preferably a son and that she wanted to resign from her post in Cross Group after Nathan got discharged from the military. Their family could then lead a peaceful life.
