Chapter 296 - It's Only A Dream

Tanaga's eyebrows also rose up when he heard what the nurse just said. She needed an ID for confirmation, so he immediately took out his wallet from his pocket. But the problem was – he forgot to bring it because he rushed to go to the hospital.

While he was still making sure it was in one of his pockets, the nurse was staring at him crazily.

'Who's he trying to fool? The next thing he's going to say is that he didn't bring any ID,' thought the nurse. And the nurse wasn't wrong because that's exactly what Tanaga said.

"I'm sorry! It seems –" He was not able to finish what he was going to say, for he was interrupted by the nurse.

"Sir, that kind of excuse was too old," the nurse interrupted Tanaga while smirking devilishly. "If you don't have any ID with you, I also can't say what Mrs. Jones' room number is. If you don't need anything anymore, you may leave, I still have tons of work to do." The nurse added fiercely.

"Uncle Ruffy, take care of this or else –" That was all Tanaga could say before leaving, right before he could say something inappropriate. He's temper is flaring up and one thing he hated the most is being questions, especially by a mere nurse. He walks out furiously heading to no particular destination.

Butler Ruffy – who was spacing out because Tanaga said he's Ashley's husband – suddenly came back to his senses when Tanaga angrily spoke before leaving. He immediately intervenes before the nurse could turn around and go back to what she was doing.

"Sorry, miss! Actually, I'm the one who ordered that Madam Ashley can be only visited by her family. Here look, I'm his guardian." He then gave his ID to the nurse.

The nurse accepted it and looked at the name of the guardian of Ashley. When she saw the name of Butler Ruffy, she smiled before giving the ID back.

"I also apologize for my behavior," the nurse apologized shyly. "She was transferred to the room adjacent to Chairwoman Hanada's. I think you already know where it is?"

Butler Ruffy thanked the nurse before going outside to search for Tanaga. But when he went out, Tanaga's shadow was nowhere to be seen. He scratched his head. "What is this? Don't tell me he went home and doesn't want to visit the Madam anymore?" Butler Ruffy whispered to himself while walking towards Ashley's room.

When the Butler arrived there, the two bodyguards were outside sitting side-by-side like mannequins. They weren't even blinking.

When the Butler came near them, they stood up to give their respects. "Good evening, Sir Ruffy!" the two bodyguards greeted in chorus.

"Good evening to both of you also. Is there someone inside?" Butler Ruffy asked as he wanted to know if Tanaga was there.

The two just nodded, not saying anything. Butler Ruffy didn't ask more, instead, he slightly opened the door to take a peak.

Tanaga was standing on the other end of the bed while Ashley was sleeping peacefully on it. Butler Ruffy decided to close the door and let Tanaga stay there alone with her.

"Don't you ever dare to let someone enter there, especially Madam Ashley's family. No one should see him – understood?" Butler Ruffy commanded the bodyguards while glaring straight into their eyes.

"Yes!" the two simultaneously answered. Butler Ruffy turned around upon hearing that and went to the Chairwoman's room to know her situation right now.

In Ashley's room, Tanaga was carefully walking on the side of the bed as though someone was pulling him to go there. When he reached the side of Ashley, he stared at her swollen face caused by her laboring.

He unconsciously caressed Ashley's face as though he couldn't control his mind. "What do I do to you? What if my memories won't come back so I can never remember the love they said that I have for you? Can you endure being with me – me who cursed every woman in the world? Tell me – can you handle it or are you going to cheat on me too when the time comes? Are you also going to leave me?"

While Tanaga was speaking, he didn't notice that Ashley's eyes temporarily opened and looked at him. Her eyes then shut quickly before she spoke.

"Tan… I can deal with it… just come back. Did you know that you left me with two twins… thank you so much. Don't worry, I will take care of them. I'll make sure that they will know and remember you always, even if you're already gone…. I know that was a dream again because I really missed you so damn much. Thank you. You always visit me even if it was just in my dreams," Ashley uttered, tears falling from her closed eyes.

Little did she know that Tanaga was really there and she just thought that it was another dream since Tanaga was said to be dead. She knew that he always was with her in her dreams.

Tanaga felt like he was scorched, and he quickly pulled out his hand from his wife's cheek. He stepped back and didn't know what to do.

When he saw that Ashley's eyes were opening, he quickly bent his knees down on the other end of the bed to hide so that Ashley wouldn't see him. Fortunately for him, the room was dark so Ashley wouldn't see him unless she sat down or stood up.

When Tanaga pulled his hand from her, Ashley became anxious. She suddenly sobbed and called Tanaga's name. "Tan, where are you? Don't leave! Be with me for a while, please!! Tan!! Tan!! Please, don't go!! Ashley screamed loudly." Her shouts were loud enough to be heard by her two bodyguards outside.

They just looked at each other before shaking their heads, even though they didn't agree with what their male boss was doing.

If they weren't scared to be jobless, they would've entered the room to let their lady boss know that her husband is still alive.
