FIVE

I’m here outside the hospital while waiting for nana Pacing.

I looked at the entirety of the hospital and I couldn’t help but be amazed because Asher grew it based on what he wanted to happen. It's a private hospital but the fee is not expensive.

Most of the doctors here are graduates abroad but want to help poor people so the charge is cheaper than others.

It was only made private so that the hospital could somehow make money to help others. But it's not because it is private it's only the rich or the middle class can afford it. There are also many poor people who seek treatment here, serious cases are referred by other hospitals and they seek treatment here but the price is the same as in the public.

I simply smile at what I thought, he really dreams of helping others ever since I met him. It has always been that he wants to be able to build his own hospital and help everyone. They are also complete here with doctors, orthopedics, generals, dentists, psychologists, neuro, OB, and more.

I looked at my wristwatch because it looked like nana Pacing was late. I will wait for Nana outside so that Asher can't see her.

I rushed to go outside when she said she's on the way so I can get back to work faster after my break.

Nana Pacing is one of our helpers and Asher knows her. She had left us for a long time to be with his family but occasionally she visited us. When I left Asher I approached her and asked for help because I trusted her more. I let her know what had happened to me than my family and Asher.

"Ashley!" I turned when someone calls me and saw nana Pacing walking while carrying an umbrella.

"Nana." I immediately stood up and approached her. "How is he?" I asked as soon as he could get close to me.

"He was on oxygen because she was having trouble breathing. He has also been fitted with several devices on his body to monitor vital signs. I asked Magdalena to watch over him first. I also told the doctors that there was money for the operation and I said that now I will take it so I signed the form. But the operation still depends on the fee, if we do not give the money they will cancel and ignore that form. He will also be transferred to Coastal because only there is the surgery is available. I want it here but you don't want to." I took the blank check with Asher's signature and handed it to nana.

"Asher will see you, it's his hospital, and easy for him to find out anything here. Here, bring it. I will ask Asher tomorrow if I can take a leave for a day so I'll be there for the operation."

I handed over the check and looked at it.

"Shall I give it to the doctor?" Nana asked.

"No, you will change it at the bank near the hospital. You can put your name there or Magda's name. The bank will call Asher to inform him that there is such a large amount to withdraw from the money in his name. Maybe Asher can trace the hospital and soon can find the truth and I don't want it to happen."

"I understand," she replied "How is he, you?" That's when my tears fell because of nana's question. She immediately hugged me and comforted me "Shh! Everything will be fine soon. Just promise me you won't give up again. It's for HIM especially now that he needs you."

"Yes nana, thank you for all your help."

"I'm your mother now, Ashley and we are family."

"Thanks, go now nana, maybe Asher will see you. Please don't forget to change the check into cash and give it to the hospital today so that the operation can continue tomorrow." She nodded and kissed me before leaving.

When nana left I just waited outside for a while to spend time at lunch break. A few minutes later I back into the office where I found Asher already sitting at his desk. He just looked at me so I immediately approached him. But he was ahead of me in speaking.

"Did you prepare the documents for the meeting later?" he asked without looking at me.

"Yeah," I replied but didn't leave in front of his desk.

"Do you need something?" he asked again and looked up at me.

"Can I have a day off tomorrow or can I take a half-day?" I wish I was there for his operation. I admit I'm also not sure if that will be successful because maybe his body can't handle it either.

"Off, are you fucking kidding me? After you took money from me you want to file a leave?" I swallowed then remained calm when I saw him seriously.

"Even ......."

"No," he interrupted me.

"But ...."

"You want me to call the agency?" he asked then arranged the paper in front of him and then took his phone. "Ow, how about to inform your brother that ....."

"No," I interrupted him and I was immediately confused. Hunter shouldn't know the truth.

"Fine, I'm not leaving tomorrow." Then I let out a deep sigh.

"Good." Our conversation was cut short when his cell phone rang. He frowned then looked at me before answering the call. "Yes? .......... Yeah! I sign it ......... ok, thanks for the info." Then he looked at me sharply so I immediately bowed because I seemed to know who that call was from.

"I will go back to my seat."

"So, Nana is your accomplice?" I immediately stopped but did not look back. I'm sure the bank called him informing him about the check. "Anyway, you're her nanny so no matter what happens she'll consent to you. You're wise Ashley and you really don't give him the check. Why? Are afraid of me? I just want to know his name." He asked angrily and I just felt that he was behind me. "Who's that asshole and what his name?" He asked in an angry tone.

"Do you really want to know his name?" I asked and I saw the criticism on his face when I faced him. "Because if yes, I will tell you."

"Who the fuck he is?" He held my arm at the same time squeeze.

"Charles, his name is Charles,"
