Chapter 732: Chapter 728: Acting President, is Mr. Lewis
Roy Lewis’s heart suddenly clenched with pain.
“Uncle! What’s wrong?”
Kennedy Green didn’t respond to him; Benjamin Fred did.
“Mr. Lewis, the operation has been successfully concluded, and we have achieved a great victory!”
Compared to the success or failure of the operation, Roy Lewis is more concerned about Kennedy Green’s safety right now.
“Mr. Fred, what happened to my uncle?”
“Mr. Lewis, Mr. President has been injured and fainted!”
Roy Lewis’s premonition came true.
His hands and feet turned instantly cold, but his mind remained clear.
“Get my uncle to the plane immediately. I’ll be responsible for communicating with the Prime Minister of Leutonia and arranging the rescue operation.”
Benjamin Fred agreed and hung up the phone.
About ten minutes later, the rescue team sent by the Prime Minister of Leutonia took Kennedy Green to the hospital.
Another ten minutes passed, and Benjamin Fred’s call returned.
“Mr. Lewis, Mr. President has lost a lot of blood and is still undergoing emergency treatment.”
Roy Lewis’s mood turned heavy.
“Excessive blood loss? Where was he injured? Was it a vital organ or his head?”
Benjamin Fred was silent for a moment before replying.
“Mr. President was not injured in any vital organs or areas, but he has been injured for an extended period. He sustained injuries when the communication equipment was bombed and persisted until the operation ended…”
So, Roy Lewis’s previous premonitions and anxiety were real!
“Keep a close eye on his progress, and inform me immediately if there are any changes.”
With the conclusion of Leutonia’s operation, Roy Lewis left the remaining tasks to Nathan Caroule and the other ministers to discuss and handle.
He left his office, retrieved his personal cell phone, and dialed Richelle Dunn’s number.
“Roy, how is everything? All went smoothly, right?”
Roy Lewis cut to the chase, “The mission is complete, and I’m fine, but my uncle had an accident in Leutonia. He suffered from brain hypoxia due to excessive blood loss and is still in critical condition.”
Richelle Dunn was startled.
“This is serious. Can you give me the hospital director’s number? I want to find out more about his condition.”
Richelle Dunn is an expert in this area, so Roy Lewis naturally trusts her more.
After getting the number and making a call, Richelle called back about ten minutes later.
“Roy, can you arrange an emergency flight route? I want to fly to Leutonia immediately.”
Roy Lewis’s heart clenched once more, “The experts in Leutonia are useless?”
Richelle Dunn sounded worried, “I’m not sure, but the director’s tone suggested they don’t have confidence. I’m afraid that the longer it takes, the more dangerous it is for your uncle. My mentor would have been faster if she were in South Asia, but she’s attending a conference in Megacarton. Please make arrangements as soon as possible, and I’ll wait for your notification.”
Roy Lewis didn’t ask Richelle Dunn about her level of confidence, as he knew that regardless of her level, she was definitely stronger than the experts in Leutonia.
With incredible speed, he arranged a military plane. Meanwhile, Richelle Dunn had already left her house and was rushing to the Presidential Palace.
Roy returned to his office to find that all remaining tasks had been completed.
He informed several ministers about Kennedy Green’s injury and the fact that he was still being treated.
“Dr. Dunn and I will fly to Leutonia to save Mr. President, but the Federation cannot afford to be without a leader for a day. Implement the emergency plan and let the acting president handle matters for a few days.”
The ministers exchanged looks.
Roy Lewis noticed their expressions and sensed they were concealing something.
“Don’t tell me you don’t have an emergency plan or alternative candidate?”
As the second-in-command, Mr. Yacoub finally spoke up.
“We do. The candidate is you, Mr. Lewis!”
Roy Lewis was stunned.
“I’m the backup candidate? That’s not right. I remember initially; a minister was selected by several departments, right?”
Roy Lewis’s department, responsible for many secrets, is considered an independent department.
It is not subject to the control of other departments and reports directly to the President.
At the same time, the other departments are not under his management, and he does not get involved in their affairs.
However, in matters of national security, other departments must unconditionally obey his orders.
Mr. Yacoub nodded, “Yes, initially Mr. President designated me, but over the years, I’ve realized that you, Mr. Lewis, have a better understanding of the overall situation and are more capable of leadership.”
“So, a few months ago, after your successful operation, I proposed including you as a candidate to Mr. President. In the end, the department heads voted unanimously. In case of special circumstances, you will become the acting president.”
Roy Lewis accepted the appointment in the face of the crisis, only pausing for a moment before nodding gravely.
“Alright, tomorrow’s work will proceed as planned. I’ll go check on Mr. President’s condition first. You can always contact me if you need anything.”
Richelle Dunn arrived at the Presidential Palace and hurriedly boarded the plane with Roy Lewis.
Meanwhile, the children and elderly at home were entrusted to Nathan Caroule and Denise Munni’s care.
After the plane took off, Richelle Dunn maintained communication with the hospital director throughout the flight, providing online guidance for the rescue efforts.
Since Leutonia is adjacent to the Federation, the Federation’s military plane landed at Leutonia’s military hospital in about an hour.
Richelle Dunn got off the plane and quickly changed into surgical scrubs before entering the emergency room.
