Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2643

Having learned that the President's condition had deteriorated to such a degree that an emergency trip to the hospital became necessary, Nathan grew anxious.

After a hasty farewell to his teacher, he rushed to the hospital, which was already heavily surrounded by the royal guard when he arrived. As the Chief Military Governor, he was granted unimpeded access.

Nathan found the doors to the operation theater swarming with people upon being directed there.

In addition to the First Lady, Paisley, and close family members of the President, members of the Cabinet with Erwin in the lead, and the commander-in-chief of the Brimmopolis garrison, Will, and his men crowded the corridor with anxious faces to discuss the situation in hushed voices.

Paisley's face was streaked with tears. At Nathan's arrival, she fought down her grief and led her family to their feet. “The Chief Military Governor is here!” she announced.

“I came as soon as I learned that the President's condition had taken a turn for the worst,” Nathan said solemnly.

“How is he, Mrs. Woods?”

“He was in good spirits this morning,” Paisley reported. “His condition only deteriorated sharply after he got his jab. We don't know if he'll...”

She choked up, unable to complete her sentence.

A group of Cabinet members and ministers flocked to comfort Paisley with ostentatious displays of sympathy.

Nathan, however, frowned at the impeccable timing of Garrett's misfortune.

The President has been on the new regiment developed by Cross Group for days without a hitch. Why did his condition worsen today?

Suddenly, a shifty voice sounded from the middle of the crowd. “The President's condition took a turn for the worst immediately after he was administered a dose of Cross Group's experimental drug. Could there be a problem with their product?”
