Chapter 278 - He's Awake!

It had been months since Ashley's group set sail to various countries, where they had also visited many countries. They had become tired and had enough. When Ashley and Grandma Hanada last spoke, she told Ashley that they were all sorting out paperwork for everyone in the yacht who was going to America.

Everyone was very happy with the news they heard because they were really tired of living in the middle of the sea. During the months they sailed, they only spent a few days on land. But they didn't waste it, as they roamed around, shopping for souvenirs on the countries they landed on. After that, they'd return to the sea and go to their next destination.

Now that they had received another order from Grandma Hanada, everyone was delighted, except for Ashley. She was close to entering into labor yet wanted to remain in the middle of the sea. She was afraid that if they stayed on the ground, she would think of going to Japan to find out if her husband was really dead.

During their several months of sailing, there was not a night that she did not dream of Tanaga. But what she did not understand was why at least once, she did not feel that he was already dead, and they would never meet again.

Every night, she dreamed of being with Tanaga, and always felt alive during them. He always told her that the time would come when they would be together again. That's why Ashley was never upset because she was always with Tanaga in her sleep.

Ashley planned that after giving birth, she would return to Japan and find out what really happened. She even wanted to see her husband's ashes. Only if this were to happen, then she would believe that Tanaga is truly dead. Not until then – no matter what everyone wanted her to believe – she believed Tanaga was alive.

Finally, it was time to go home and Ashley's group had to fly to America, where she could give birth.

All their paperwork was in order. Father Jessie, Mother Fely, Ariel, Arnold, Butler Ruffy, Inday, Tiny, and the other bodyguards would accompany Ashley to fly to America. Gemma and Linda, on the other hand, were going home to their families to finish their education.

As Ashley enjoyed their work, she promised the two of them that when they were to finish school, there would be a job waiting for them at the THJ Hotel and Casino.

Arthur and Ariel would accompany Ashley on a flight to America. But when they were to get there, they would join the cargo sh.i.p.s owned by the THJ Group. Ariel and Arnold were going to be admitted to a well-known school and would continue their education there.

Everything was planned and ready; they just needed to get to the Philippines so that the original crew of the yacht could return to Japan.

A few days after Ashley spoke to Grandma Hanada, they also arrived in the Philippines.

Arman and the original crew of the yacht were already at the port waiting for them to dock. They were waiting for the vehicles that would take them to the hotel.

"Sir Arman, they are already here. Look over there!" The captain pointed in a direction.

Arman followed the finger where the captain's hand was pointing and smiled when he saw the yacht getting nearer. 'God, thank you so much that they have safely arrived,' Arman prayed as he stood and waited for the ship to dock.

Meanwhile in America, at the facility where Tanaga was recovering, the monitor attached to him suddenly made a noise *Beep-beep-beep!* The nurse on duty was surprised when Tanaga's room abruptly had this alarm-like noise.

The nurse on duty quickly ran to Tanaga's room and looked at what was happening. She was shocked when she saw that Tanaga was already awake, trying to remove the contraptions attached to him.

The nurse hastily approached him to stop him, but Tanaga was strong and already removed it before the nurse could halt him.

"Ahhh! I don't like this! I don't like this!" Tanaga shouted as he one by one removed the things attached to him. The nurse could do nothing yet still tried to stop Tanaga. As expected, she failed as he had removed everything.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived with Grandma Hanada. She also had a monitor in her room which would alert her if anything happened to her grandson.

"My grandson! Tanaga, stop it!" Grandma Hanada shouted as she slowly approached. When she got closer to Tanaga, she hugged him to stop what he was doing.

"Tanaga! Shhh! This is your grandma. Thank God you woke up! *Sob*" Grandma Hanada cried as tears welled up in her eyes.

Tanaga, on the other hand, calmed down when the old lady hugged him. While his voice was still raspy because of his long sleep, he insisted on asking, "Grandma, why am I here? What happened to me? I don't want to be here… it's scary here." Tanaga was like a child begging to his grandmother.

"Shhh! You have to stay here. You are here because you had an accident and then was put into a coma. Do you remember what happened?" Grandma asked as she caressed her grandson's back.

Tanaga suddenly fell silent and seemed to be thinking. But after a while, he suddenly cried like a child. "Ahhh! I don't remember anything. I don't like it here! Grandma let's go home!" Tanaga was still screaming and trying to get up.

Because of his reaction, he was quickly injected with sedatives. Moments later, his body collapsed into Grandma Hanada's arms.

The doctors helped Grandma Hanada to lay down Tanaga. She was stunned and seemed to be out of her mind. Soon, he closed his eyes and began to breathe deeply. Tanaga fell asleep because of the medicine he was injected with.

When Grandma Hanada saw that Tanaga was asleep again, she slowly stood up to talk to the doctor because she wanted to know why Tanaga was acting immature. Did something happened to his brain????
