Chapter 1585


    In the ward, Penny was lying on the bed, d in a hospital gown.


    When she regained consciousness, she immediately saw Nathan waiting by her bed.


    Forcing a smile, she uttered weakly. “Hubby, am still alive?”


    Nathan mped his emotions down and consoled her. “Of course. We promised to live happily ever


    after, right?”


    Penny held his hand, taking in the warmth of his body. “I thought I won''t get to see you and Queenie


    anymore,” she revealed. “In the end, you rushed into the raging mes to save me.”


    Her voice was small. “Hubby, it feels so great to ))


    see you.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She pulled Nathan''s hand and ced it right next to her cheek affectionately.


    But soon, she realized Nathan seemed upied.


    “What''s wrong?” she inquired.


    Nathan then ryed the doctor''s words to her.


    When Penny found out the doctor told them to be prepared as she might not be able to keep the


    baby, she burst into tears.


    Struggling to sit up, she flung her arms around Nathan and wailed pitifully.


    Nathanforted her gently. “Don''t be sad. The doctor said there might be a chance. They are


    doing their best to protect the baby.”


    Penny choked out. “It must not be an optimistic situation. Otherwise, the doctor wouldn''t have asked


    us to be prepared.” “Hubby,” she wailed. “I pity our baby! If he or she leaves us...”


    “Our angel will be born into another family,” said Nathan in an attempt to soothe her. “Another


    couple will be overjoyed to be blessed with our angel.”


    He added, “But we won''t be this unlucky. I believe good things happen to good people. Our baby


    will be safe.”


    “Mm!” Penny tightened her arms and mumbled in response.


    An hourter, Penny calmed down under Nathan''s gentle murmurs and fell asleep.


    He came out of her ward to inform his inws and Kylie to take care of her.


    The other rtives were told to head home. Nathan went to receive treatment, apanied by Ava


    and the others.


    When his treatment came to an end, Colin entered and reported in a low voice. “General, I need to


    report something.”


    Nathan dismissed the others with a wave. Colin, Ava and the Elite Eight remained in the room.


    “Go ahead,” said Nathan.


    “Three crew members lost their lives after the helicopter, which departed from Channing Military


    Base, crashed back there,” Colin reported.


    “Award the three soldiers who sacrificed with first-ss merits,pensation and console their


    families well.”


    “Understood,” Colin answered. “One more thing.”


    “What is it?” asked Nathan.


    “Someone heard gunshots at the scene. The initial report shows that someone had fired shots at


    the helicopter which caused it to crash.”


    Upon hearing his words, Nathan''s jaw hardened. “I knew something was amiss. But, as I was


    worried for Penny, I didn''t think too much about it.”


    “I can''t believe someone fired the shots on purpose,” he dered angrily.


    “We believe someone set the orphanage on fire deliberately,” revealed Colin. “The one who


    committed arson should be connected to the person who shot the helicopter.”


    “Their target should be either you or Mrs.


    Cross,” he concluded.


    A tinge of murderous intention shed across Nathan''s face. “After I reunited with my wife and


    daughter, I''ve softened a lot. They must''ve forgotten how ruthless I can be.”


    “Ry my orders!” hemanded. “Investigate this thoroughly. No matter who the culprit is, he or


    she must pay dearly!”


    “Yes, Sir!” Colin took his order.


    The consequences of the General getting angry were too dreadful.


    Many departments were involved in the investigation. Even the Secret Service sent their men to aid


    in the investigation.
