Washington, D.C., the capital of the White House!

Vanessa rushed back from Hawaii and threw herself into her mother's arms.

The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly. Those around them sighed and shook their heads. The First Lady continued to comfort her daughter. After a while, Vanessa finally raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "My daughter, my daughter..."

"Father, just like him"

Come with me.

Kate Nash took her daughter to an empty room, closed the door, and then...

Do you know what happened?

Vanessa wiped away her tears: "They told me my father was possessed by a demon, didn't they?"

Kate Nash nodded bitterly, her dark circles unable to conceal her exhaustion; as First Lady, no one knew how much pressure she had endured that day.

Vanessa retorted sharply, "And what about his father?"

"The situation has improved, the inner demons have been exorcised, but..."

Kate Nash opened her mouth as if there was something unspeakable between them.

"There's only one thing you need to tell me!"

The First Lady wiped away her daughter's tears: "Vanessa, my child, you need to be prepared that even if your father wakes up, he may lose his memory or even become mentally disabled."

"How can this be?"

The girl was stunned, her face filled with shock: "Wasn't the demon banished? Why is this happening?"

The First Madam sighed and slowly said, "They explained to me that during the exorcism, your father's soul suffered severe trauma. Damage to the soul can cause a series of consequences, such as amnesia, loss of intelligence, loss of behavioral capacity, becoming a vegetable, and so on."

"Where is the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

“The medical team has conducted a full examination of his body, and everything is normal except for his head.” At this point, the First Lady sighed again, her brows furrowed with worry: “His brainwaves are extremely erratic, and this has been going on for a day with no sign of balancing out.”

Just then, the door opened, and a staff member rushed in, hurriedly saying...

"Madam, the President is awake."

Both of them were very happy and quickly rushed into the secret room.

On the hospital bed, Joel Nash, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes, revealing indifferent, calm, and colorless pupils. Seeing those eyes, those around him felt a chill inexplicably, a sense of fear that death was watching them.

Vanessa didn't hesitate for long before jumping into the water and bursting into tears.

"Father!"

Joel Nash turned his head and stared at her blankly, his eyebrows twitching, as if he couldn't believe it.

"who are you?"

Simple words echoed in the hall, then all sound vanished. The people gathered together stared in horror at the president on the hospital bed. Vanessa stopped crying; tears glistened on her beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with shock.

The First Lady, overwhelmed by the shock, covered her mouth with her hand and left the room, while the others stared at her blankly.

The worst-case scenario is that the president really has amnesia.

Chapter 1121 Conspiracy to Seize Power!

Rewind 15 minutes, and the Pentagon convened a special meeting.

The meeting was attended by either senators or heads of military departments. The group of thirteen people squeezed into a small office and engaged in a heated discussion about the events of the previous day.

Prior to this, many people doubted the president's demonic identity, believing it to be a baseless rumor, but the video footage of the fight silenced them.

The president is actually possessed by a demon!

Looking back on the past, the people gathered together couldn't help but shudder: they had actually been serving the devil's public works for four years, and what was even more unsettling was that, apart from Jack Harvey, no one realized it.

Senate President Kerk retorted.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. All employees connected to the devil must be investigated, and no one should be let off the hook."

House Speaker Hyde Klimt also said, "The government should not allow the existence of bad beliefs. De Montgomery must have gained many followers during his four years as president. These people are dangerous and must be found."

The other board members nodded in support of the decision.

In contrast, the Ministry of National Defense and the military seemed somewhat displeased and did not appear to agree with the lawmakers' views.

Hyde-Klimt tapped the table: "General Ryan, you are the perpetrator of this incident, and also the most honorable one. Your abilities are evident to all. We agree that you will lead the next phase of the investigation."

Sam Lane lowered his eyes and remained silent. Defense Secretary Royman Gantt walked away.

"An investigation is certain, the question is under what pretext and where the authority comes from. If I remember correctly, neither the Senate nor the Department of Defense has the authority to conduct such an investigation!"

It was added that "without a White House authorization document signed by the president, the Supreme Court, the FBI, and the CIA would disagree with the findings and might even interfere with them."

Hyde Klim lowered his eyelids.

"Special circumstances require special treatment. Just like yesterday's attack, which was not approved by the White House. Imagine if General Ryan hadn't intervened, who would have thought that the President would be possessed by a demon? How could we have eliminated the demon and cleared the White House's name?"

"I agree with Speaker Klim's point of view."

Kelke interjected, "We've reached a point where relying on the White House is impossible. We have to solve this on our own. We must expose the devil Gast's minions before things get worse. We can't wait a second longer."

Kelke's voice was very loud, echoing in the room like a bell, but the people from the Department of Defense and the military still did not respond.

Anyone sitting here, as long as they are human, how could they not know the true purpose of the Senate?

According to Rice's succession policy, if the president dies unexpectedly, presidential power will be transferred to the vice president; if the vice president also dies unexpectedly, the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate will succeed him.

Of course, the probability of this is extremely small, but it does not mean that it does not exist. For example, right now, US Vice President Cheney has been suspended from office because of the alien abduction case, and he himself has fallen into a deep coma. According to medical experts, it will take him at least a month to wake up, and if he does wake up, he may become mentally disabled.

The president can't be an idiot, so who will succeed? That's why House Speaker Hyde Klimt and Senate President Pro Tempore Kerk met at the Pentagon; both hoped to open a breach there.

All it took was a nod to the army, and everything became simple.

Defense Minister Reuman-Gant frowned and pondered for a long time, finally casting a glance at the other capable generals; although he was the head of the armed forces, the issue of choosing sides he faced could not be resolved by one person alone.

They looked at each other, some agreeing, some disagreeing, but no one spoke, and the situation reached a stalemate: Hyde Klimt stared intently at Sam Lane, who in turn stared back at him.

"General Ryan, I'd like to hear your opinion."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the short old man. He was the most inconspicuous of the generals present, but he was the strongest, the most stern, and the most fearless.

Sam Ryan sat up straight.

When will His Excellency the President wake up?

His assistant quickly said, "The medical team has been calling for help for at least a month."

A month

After a moment of contemplation, Sam Lane said, "The investigation requires the First Lady's authorization."

These words caused the Senate to frown.

Hyde-Klim, suppressing his anger, said, "Mrs. Nash has been communicating with the devil for a long time. What if her mind has been influenced by suggestion?"

Sam Lane replied coldly, "The demon Gast is dead."

"He's dead, but the consequences remain. Now that you've all witnessed the power of the devil, who can say there aren't traitors outside?"

Hyde's voice grew louder and louder, seemingly drowning out Sam Lane, who was about to speak with a grimacing grin when the Secretary of Defense grinned and turned around.

Just then, the door was pushed open forcefully.

"...The president is awake!"

A single sentence from Royman Gantt moved everyone present.

"When you woke up, didn't you say it would be a month later?"

The visitor took out the report and said in a very urgent tone, "I need..."

"The medical staff have just thoroughly examined his body, and everything is normal except for his brain. His Excellency the President suffers from very severe amnesia. He does not know who he is, does not remember what happened in the past, and cannot even recognize his own daughter."

Upon hearing this, Hyde Klimt and Kelke regained their previous composure.

Amnesiacs are clearly unable to bear the weight of the presidency, but they still have a chance.

Without hesitation, Reuman-Gant ordered his men to prepare a car, and the others followed closely behind.

A large group of people arrived at the White House and soon found the president sitting on the sofa, barely breathing. Compared to before, Joel Nash's personality had changed drastically. His expression had become indifferent, his eyes were icy, and his brows furrowed from time to time, as if he was thinking about something or doubting something.

Royman Gantt walked over to Kate Nash, who was wiping away tears, and whispered something.

"The President's head?"

Kate Nash shook her head in anguish: "I don't remember anything."

Royman Gunter sighed, unsure of what to do. The others offered a few words of comfort before leaving the meeting room.

Heide Klimt approached Dr. Brown, the medical team leader, and asked him directly.

Is it possible to receive a reply from His Excellency the President?

Brown hesitated for a moment, then whispered closer.

“We don’t know exactly how it was done, but the president’s brainwaves were even. Although he lost a lot of memories, his intelligence was not affected. So as long as he is given enough guidance, he can return to normal.”

The last sentence chilled Hyde to the bone.
