Acting President Varley Houst, accompanied by Speaker William Fitzwilliam, Deputy Speaker Margaret Cavendish, and a team of medical personnel, arrived at the hospital in Remdant City where President Walter Edward Brown was recuperating. The mood was solemn yet hopeful as they entered the hospital wing, greeted by the diligent staff who had been attending to the President's recovery.

"President Brown's room should be just down this hall," Houst said, her voice steady despite the weight of recent events. As they walked, Houst glanced at Fitzwilliam and Cavendish, sharing a nod of solidarity before they reached the designated room.

Inside, Katherine Brown, the First Lady, looked up with a mixture of relief and concern as the group entered. "Varley, thank you for coming," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "He's been asking for you."

Houst nodded, acknowledging Katherine with a gentle smile before turning to the medical team. "How is he doing?" she inquired, her gaze shifting to the doctors who were monitoring President Brown's condition.

Dr. Emily Sanchez, the attending physician, stepped forward, her expression grave. "He's stable, but the explosion has exacerbated his injuries. We're doing everything we can," she explained, her voice tinged with urgency.

As Houst approached President Brown's bedside, she could see him lying there, his face pale yet determined. "Varley," he said weakly, managing a faint smile. "Thank you for coming. I was just watching your announcements from ECN and I truly believe in your governance as an Interim President"

Just then, a faint smell of gas wafted through the air, causing everyone to exchange alarmed glances. Before they could react, a sudden explosion rocked the hospital, shaking the very foundation. Chaos ensued as debris scattered, and screams filled the air.

The hospital wing collapsed within seconds, leaving a cloud of dust and devastation in its wake. Outside, bystanders gasped in horror as they witnessed the destruction. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, scrambling to rescue those trapped under the rubble.

Houst, Fitzwilliam, Cavendish, and the First Family were caught amidst the chaos, struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events. Amidst the turmoil, one question echoed in everyone's minds: What would happen next to the early reign of President Walter Edward Brown? The nation held its breath, awaiting answers that would shape the future of Eldoria.

The ECN News bulletin flashed across televisions throughout Eldoria, interrupting regular programming with urgent Breaking News. The seasoned reporter, Emily Stone, appeared on screen, her expression grave as she delivered the harrowing update.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you breaking news from Remdant City. Earlier today, the hospital where President Walter Edward Brown was recovering has collapsed, trapping several high-ranking officials and the First Family inside," Emily Stone reported, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "Among those missing are Acting President Varley Houst, Speaker William Fitzwilliam, Deputy Speaker Margaret Cavendish, and President Brown himself."

In Eldorian homes and public spaces, citizens gathered in stunned silence, watching the unfolding tragedy with a mix of disbelief and concern. Outside the hospital, emergency responders worked feverishly, their efforts illuminated by the glare of spotlights amidst the wreckage.

"We are awaiting further updates from the rescue teams on the ground," Emily continued, her voice tinged with urgency. "This is a developing situation, and we urge everyone to stay tuned as we bring you the latest information."

In the heart of Remdant City, citizens gathered in small clusters, exchanging worried glances and murmuring anxiously about the fate of their leaders. Rumors and prayers circulated amidst the chaos, with hopes pinned on the swift recovery of those trapped beneath the rubble.
