His reaction caused Ashley to withdraw her hand and put it under her blanket. She couldn't look straight at him because of the embarrassment she was feeling. She didn't know what to think nor what to do because of Tanaga's action right now.
He knew what he did and thought of what he would do next. Now he saw that Ashley's face became pale and she couldn't look straight at him.
Tanaga suddenly thought that his behavior earlier was wrong. He didn't know he would insult Ashley by not accepting her hand. Moments had passed, and no one was still talking, only sensing each other.
Tanaga didn't know why he suddenly sat at Ashley's bedside and held his wife's cheeks using his hands. He faced her, looking straight into her eyes.
