Chapter 195 Preparing for Delivery
Ethan was probably too stressed about the company's problems, so during his two-day coma, he had a bunch of awful nightmares.
In his dreams, he saw the Yates Group going bankrupt. His long-time employees were heartbroken and blamed him, making him feel intense guilt.
The Yates family wasn't doing well either, which made him even sadder.
In the dream, he locked himself in a dark room, sinking into despair. Amid the confusion, he heard a familiar voice.
"Ethan, don't worry. I'll face the Yates Group's troubles with you..."
"Ashley..."
Ethan murmured, wanting to rush out of the dark room to find Ashley.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free!
With his eyes closed, Ethan shouted, "Ashley..."
His hand moved instinctively and grabbed Ashley's hand, like a drowning man grabbing a life buoy, finding hope.
Ashley, beside him, gently comforted, "Ethan, your pneumonia is severe. Don't worry about the Yates Group. I'll handle it. Just rest and leave everything to me, okay?"
"Ashley..."
Ethan murmured in a daze.
"Ethan, I'm here."
"Ashley, don't leave me..."
"Have a good sleep, I won't leave you..."
Ashley tried to touch Ethan's face. He seemed to feel her warmth, and his deep-seated anxiety slowly eased.
Under Ashley's comfort, Ethan gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Ashley walked out of Ethan's ward. She had stayed by his side all night and hadn't slept well, with dark circles under her eyes.
Since she was going to the palace later, Ashley asked Pauline to put some light makeup on her to cover her tired face.
After a touch of light makeup, she changed into a simple and elegant dress. Ashley looked not only beautiful but also very graceful and sophisticated.
"Ashley, you look like a princess in this outfit, absolutely stunning!"
"I'm going to meet Kelsey, so I can't dress too casually."
She couldn't be too flashy either. Dressing modestly was a sign of respect for Kelsey.
Ashley said to Samantha, "According to the schedule, today is the fourth day, the delivery day. Is everything on track at the factory?"
"I called early this morning. The products are packed and shipped. They should arrive soon."
Ashley said, "Good, let's get ready. Before presenting the items to Kelsey, we need to make sure everything is perfect."
"Got it."
The group left and got into the car heading to the palace.
Just as they left, Ethan woke up. He looked around and found no one there.
Ethan forced himself to sit up and checked the time, exclaiming in shock, "Heavens, I've been asleep for so long! Today is the crucial delivery day; nothing can go wrong!"
Ignoring his discomfort, Ethan pulled out the needle from his hand, covered the wound with medical cotton, and walked out despite his condition.
As he reached the balcony, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure downstairs.
"Ashley?"
Ethan felt dizzy and lightheaded. He squinted to get a better look, thinking he might be mistaken. But by the time he focused, the figure had already gotten into a car and driven away. He couldn't tell if it was Ashley or not.
Ethan shook his head and thought, 'Ashley should be in Aivalia now. How could she be in Ferndale?'
Ethan smiled bitterly and refocused on work.
As Ethan took a few steps, Morgan came in for rounds and was shocked to see him. "Ethan, you're still in danger. How can you leave the ward on your own? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Ethan coldly replied, "Move! Today is the last day; nothing can go wrong. I must oversee it personally!"
"Ethan, I know you have a lot on your shoulders, but you can't push yourself like this. Your latest test results just came out, and your inflammation hasn't subsided. Leaving the hospital on your own could be life-threatening!"
"Move aside!"
"I won't. Get back to bed!"
"Someone, help me get the patient back to bed!"
Morgan shouted, and several doctors came over and surrounded Ethan. Ethan, both angry and anxious, felt dizzy and on the verge of fainting.
"Damn it, get out of my way!"
Ethan shouted, feeling dizzy and the world spinning around him.
"Ethan, stop being stubborn. The newly made products are already on their way to the palace. There won't be any mishaps. Just lie down and get your inflammation under control first."
Morgan signaled, and the surrounding doctors helped Ethan back to bed.
Ethan, still worried, asked anxiously, "Are you sure there won't be any problems this time?"
"There won't be. The products are already at the palace gates."
Ethan nodded heavily, but for some reason, he still had a bad feeling.
