Salute to the General novel Chapter 2626

Inside the White House, Garrett was currently lying on the bed in his chamber.

There was a bunch of medical equipment around him.

Additionally, there was also a royal physician and a nurse serving him his medicine.

His wife, Paisley, brought Nathan and Penny inside.

She whispered to Garrett, “Mr. and Mrs. Cross are here to visit you, Hubby.”

Garrett had lost a lot of weight, but he seemed pretty energetic that night.

His haggard face revealed an enthusiastic smile when he saw Nathan. He greeted warmly, “You're here, Nathan.”

Nathan smiled. “We're here to visit you, President Woods!”

Penny bowed slightly. “Greetings, President Woods!”

“Don't stand on ceremony with me.” Garrett smiled.

The royal physician who had just served Garrett his medicine was the person in charge of all royal physicians, Seamus Valeman.

Seamus smiled at the couple. “Greetings, Chief Cross and Mrs. Cross.”

“Greetings, Dr. Valeman. Thanks for your hard work.”

Seamus quickly denied, “I can't take credit for this because I haven't made any good progress with the president's illness. Usually, I'll opt for the conservative way to treat this illness. The treatment plan proposed to the president was decided by me, Mrs. Cross, and the others after discussions. The medicine prescribed for the president was provided by the cancer medication research and development team in Mrs. Cross' company. I'm not doing anything substantial other than helping to administer the medicine.”

Nathan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed when he heard that. There's something off about his demeanor. He seems to be humble, but I feel that he's trying to push his responsibility away.

However, Nathan didn't dwell on that.

After all, Garrett was the president, and he had late-stage kidney cancer. Nathan reckoned that Seamus was probably just afraid of being scolded for not being able to save the president if things went south. Therefore, Seamus had shifted all the responsibility onto Penny, and the latter would be the one to blame should something bad happen.

Nathan didn't like what Seamus was doing, of course, but he could understand the situation the doctor was in.
