Salute To The General

Chapter 184 Dr Rothschild Is Here

The crowd clamored and was silently condemning him for being not only greedy but unethical as well.

Penny Smith's face went as white as paper as she was trapped in a difficult position.

There was no way for her to say yes to Richard Steele's conditions. It was impossible to ask Nathan to

apologize to him, kneeling, let alone licking his shoes.

However, no one else could save the three workers who were in critical condition, it would be akin to

her letting them die.

Even though she did not kill them with her own hands, they would die because of her decision. I will be

forever haunted by guilt.

Penny trembled from the mountainous pressure and all colors drained from her face as she was

overwhelmed by the dilemma.

It was at this moment that Nathan grabbed her hand, giving her the strength she needed the most at

that instance.

Nathan regarded Richard Steele impassively, and spit out, "How dare a quack like you demand me to

beg you?"

Richard Steele's eyes widened at Nathan accusing him to be a quack.

Nathan Cross then turned to face the family members and said in a low voice, "Everybody, Cross

Corporation has invited the most competent person to perform the surgeries for the workers. He's the

North Army Hospital's director, Rupert Rothschild.”

The crowd went mute at his announcement.

Richard Steele was stunned for a moment before bursting into a mocking laugh, "Haha! You're

bluffing!"

"Who are you to be able to ask my teacher to come to Channing to perform surgeries on these three

lowly workers?"

"I swear to kneel down and apologize to you right away and to forever resign as a medical practitioner

if you're able to invite my teacher here.”

The crowd then turned their attention back to Nathan Cross.

They were hoping Nathan was not bluffing. However, they knew that the chances of having Dr.

Rothschild performing the surgeries were slim.

Even Penny was anxious at his remark and spoke to him in hushed tones, "What are you getting at?

Are you still messing around at this moment?"

Nathan merely smiled, "I'm not messing around. This quack is going to apologize to me kneeling down

today, and he's going to resign as a doctor from here on in."

Penny could not stand his delusion any longer, "Since you've invited Dr. Rothschild, where is he now?"

Nathan's lips curved into a thin smile, and he pointed a finger toward the sky.

The crowd was stumped. Richard Steele then mocked, "Do you mean he's thousands of miles away?

What a ridiculous fella!"

Nathan replied impassively, "I'm not saying he's thousands of miles away. I'm saying that Dr. Rothschild

is here and that he's descending from the sky soon."

Richard Steele burst into laughter while the others shook their heads in reprove.

Is he mental? Dr. Rothschild isn't a god, how could he descend from the sky?

It was at this moment that a loud noise could be heard coming from above.

The crowd was stunned, and they ran out of the building to pinpoint the source.

They lifted their head, and to their surprise, three armed helicopters were hovering in the sky.

The three helicopters landed on the helipad slowly. Afterward, a white-bearded old man could be seen

heading out of the helicopter accompanied by a number of Northern soldiers.

The white-bearded man had a vibrant complexion despite his old age. The crowd was once again in an

uproar, "My goodness, it's really Dr. Rothschild, the director of the North Army General Hospital!"

They were very excited at the sight of Dr. Rothschild. Some even wanted to walk up to him and greet

him.

However, before they could get near Dr. Rothschild, they were stopped short by the soldiers guarding

him.

Rupert Rothschild spotted Nathan Cross and Penny Smith in the crowd straight away.

He could not help himself but look at Nathan Cross with pure admiration.

He smiled at the sight of Penny Smith standing by Nathan's side.

As the personal doctor for the General, he was concerned with when Nathan Cross would decide to

start a family, as would other people who cared for Nathan.

Nathan did not indulge in debauchery and did not seem charmed by women. Rupert had worried that

Nathan would be akin to a great general who used to vow he would never start a family unless he had

wiped out the enemy.

Rupert Rothschild was glad to see that a good match for Nathan was standing right beside him.

Rupert Rothschild did not take heed of the crowd and walked straight toward Nathan Cross and Penny

Smith.

He grinned at the two, "Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, I came straight from the Channing International Airport

via a private plane and headed here in a private helicopter. I suppose I'm not late to rescue the patients

right?"
