Salute to the General novel Chapter 283

"Ouch!!!" Howard Ortiz exclaimed when he pressed his seventh rib following Nathan Cross's instructions. The old man was in so much pain that his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

The surrounding crowd expressed wonder at the accuracy of Nathan Cross's words.

Nathan continued to ask him, "Do you also experience sharp pain in your joints on rainy days?"

Howard Ortiz nodded continuously as he replied, "Yes! That's exactly what I have been experiencing. I had assumed that it was just rheumatoid arthritis..."

"You have already suffered severe internal injuries. Heed my advice and stop practicing the Dragon Fist at once. You also need to seek immediate medical attention before your condition worsens. Go to the North Army General Hospital and look for the Director of the Hospital, Dr. Rothschild. If you tell him Nathan Cross sent you here, he will treat you for free,” Nathan said further.

The Director of the North Army General Hospital, Dr. Rothschild, was also known for his Unmatched Talent. It was the one and only Dr. Rothschild!

Any doubts which Howard Ortiz had about Nathan Cross were all swept away at once.

Dr. Rothschild, the leading authority in the medical field, who was extremely selective about the patients he attended to, would never be associated with an unscrupulous liar.

Howard Ortiz was totally convinced that what Nathan Cross had told him was true. The old man was very grateful to Nathan and kept expressing his gratitude to him. He also offered to repay Nathan Cross's kindness.

"Don't worry about it. It's your entitlement to know about it as a veteran of the North Army." Nathan politely declined Howard Ortiz's good intentions and left with Penny Smith.

After the couple steps away, Howard Ortiz remained on the spot, filled with heartfelt appreciation for Nathan Cross. The lingering crowd was also basking in the entertaining scene which they had just witnessed.

Just then, a Porsche stopped at the side of the road. Yedda Ortiz, Howard Ortiz's daughter, had arrived to pick her dad up.
