Chapter 1584


    Nathan was hanging onto the ropedder with Penny in his arms as the helicopter descended


    rapidly.


    His rich experience on the battlefield and countless near-death experiences allowed him to keep his


    cool.


    They were about seven meters away from the ground when he released his grip on thedder.


    The helicopter spiraled downward swiftly and crashed on the street. The crew inside the helicopter


    died on the spot.


    Nathan and Penny were still free falling.


    He held Penny tightly and shifted so his back wouldnd first.


    Thud!


    Nathan fell andnded on his back on top of ? vehicle, causing a huge dent. Nathan groaned while


    blood trickled out from the corner of his lip.


    “Protect the General!”


    Colin, Ava, the Elite Eight, and the Dragonfury Special Forces surged forward to surround Nathan.


    Amidst themotion, Santiago and Phoebe left the scene with their men.


    Nathan struggled to get up and jumped down with Penny in his embrace.


    Concerned, his subordinates came to him. “General, are you alright?”


    Nathan handed Penny to Ava carefully. “Hurry.


    Send Penny to the hospital now!”


    “Yes, Sir!”


    Penny was rushed to the hospital, while Nathan followed closely behind her.


    When Penny was wheeled into the ER, he waited outside with a worried expression.


    Before long, Benson, Leah, and Kylie, who had just regained consciousness, arrived. Even Sean


    and his family came after receiving the news.


    They were drowning in worry and anxiety outside the ER.


    Noticing Nathan''s shirt was tattered and stained with blood, Leah wiped her tears off and told him.


    “Nathan, you''re hurt. Let the doctor look at your wound.”


    The doctor and nurse waiting aside chimed in. “Yes, Mr. Cross. You were badly wounded. Why don''t


    you allow us to check and treat your wound?”


    Nathan shook his head. “No, I will stay here and wait for Penny.”


    Silence ensued.


    Everyone knew how important she was to him.


    The doctor hesitated. “I can treat your wound briefly here.”


    “I''m not in the mood,” replied Nathan coolly. “My wound is fine. Just keep quiet and stop annoying


    me.”


    “Alright.” The doctor left with the nurses.


    An hourter, the door to the ER opened. A female doctor stepped out with the nurses.


    Nathan and the others rushed up to her. “Doctor, how is my wife?” he inquired nervously.


    The doctor told him, “Your wife nearly suffocated from inhaling excessive smoke. Besides, she fell


    from a high altitude alongside you. You may have protected her, but she suffered from a concussion


    nheless. After receiving treatment, her life is no longer in danger.”


    At her answer, Nathan and their family heaved a sigh of relief.


    He was about to express his gratitude when the doctor added, “But your wife is only a few months


    pregnant. She suffocated and suffered from a concussion, so she might lose her baby.”


    Nathan''s expression darkened at her words, while Benson and the rest paled instantly.


    Nathan urged, “Doctor, please be honest. How is she now?''


    “I can''t be sure,” she replied. “But things aren''t looking up for her. I''ve tried my best to keep the baby


    alive, but you best be prepared.”


    Nathan answered slowly. “Yes, we understand. Thank you, doctor.”


    “Oh,” he continued. “Can I see my wife now?”


    The doctor nodded in approval. “You''re her husband, so you should apany her and cheer her


    up. Please make sure she doesn''t suffer from an emotional breakdown.”
