Chapter 653 Taking Credit For Nathan''s Work
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 hourter, 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 borating 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-inw; 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."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
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 likest time."
Sweat beaded on Chris'' forehead and he insisted, "You guys have misunderstood. I''m practically a
nobody in the army; no one will listen to me. I don''t have the authority to mobilize the troops so please
stop asking it of me."
Thinking that the younger man was just being humble, Sean chuckled and ryed, "Oh, Chris. Even
General Wilson had personally admitted that you have more weight to throw around than him. No need
to be so modest!"
Samuel had a broad smile on his face as well. "That''s right, my son-inw! It should be easy for you to
mobilize tens of thousands of men to teach that General Bachok a lesson.”
Penny chimed in politely, "If you''re willing to aid us, Mr. Perry, the Smith family would be immensely
grateful."
Chris replied in an embarrassed tone, "Ms. Smith, I''m afraid that I really can''t help you guys. But you
honestly don''t need to worry. There''s a man who deeply loves you and has always been looking out for
you and the Smith''s. With him around, nobody will ever be able toy a finger on you.”
The rest of the people in the room were bbergasted at his words.
Just how powerful must this person looking after Penny be, that he could ensure that no harm would
Naturally, Chris was talking about Nathan.
However, Nathan''s identity was one of the highest levels of military secrets. He did not dare to
outrightly tell them the truth, for the fear of being arrested for selling out state secrets.
That was why the only thing he could do was subtly hint to Penny that she had someone powerful by
her side.
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.
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 sses swaggered inside, severalckeys following
along behind him.
