Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1553

Dr Rothschild took a private jet from North Army General Hospital that night itself. He rushed over to the hospital as soon as he reached Channing to save the poisoned children with Dr. Torres.

Both doctors worked throughout the night towards the wee hours of dawn. The doctors and nurses of People's Hospital assisted them as much as they could.

Soon, the five children who had food poisoning were saved.

Their parents were relieved and immediately cried happy tears when they heard the good news.

The hospital was filled with journalists from multiple news media outlets. They followed Dr. Torres and Dr. Rothschild with their cameras, hoping to capture some shots for the news headlines. They would be reporting about how two renowned doctors had come from a thousand miles away, racing against time to save poisoned children. How heroic!

Nathan asked Penny and the family to accompany and take care of Queenie while he accompanied Dr. Rothschild and Dr. Torres to the hospital canteen.

The canteen staff had prepared a merry feast to serve Dr. Torres, Dr. Rothschild and other doctors and nurses who had just exited the emergency ward.

Once everyone was seated, Nathan raised his glass towards the two heroic doctors, saying, "Dr. Rothschild. Dr. Torres. My daughter and the other children's lives have been saved by both of you. I could not be more thankful."

Dr. Rothschild and Dr. Torres were overwhelmed by Nathan's gratitude. They quickly raise their glasses in return.

Dr. Rothschild laughed. "There's no need to thank me. Poison detoxification is Dr.

Torres profession; I was only an assistant. The credit should definitely go towards him."

Dr. Torres quickly interjected, "No. No. No. It's our responsibility as doctors. We treat our patients as best as we can, just like the General who guards the frontier. We were simply doing our duty."

At that, Nathan laughed. "No matter what, I'm thankful to both of you and all the medical support from the hospital. Let's toast to this, everyone. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and chorused loudly, "Cheers!"

With that, the banquet officially started. Everyone began eating ravenously; they were all hungry and depleted from long hours of working.

During dinner, Stanley Torres told Nathan about the poison he found in the children's body. It was a rare poison that was specifically used by assassins.

Stanley was adamant that someone had wanted to harm the General's daughter. Someone had poisoned the children intentionally. It was not a coincidence.

Everyone was frightened by the news and looked towards Nathan in unison.
