Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1029

It would be too late to regret if her father actually died.

She really did not want to be foolish and petty anymore.

So, Vera had decided to cherish her father after he woke up. She told herself that she would apologize to him and would spend more time with him in the future.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Mabie began to wipe her tears again. "I hope your father will wake up soon. The longer he stays asleep, the more uneasy I become."

"Mom, the doctor said that he was out of the woods and that he will wake up within these couple of days."

While speaking, Vera stood up with her bag in her hands. "Let's head over to the supermarket. We have to go and get some supplements for Dad. Then, once he wakes up, he can start taking them to boost his health."

Mabie immediately grabbed her bag and went out with her.

Just as they were about to head downstairs, they happened to bump into their next door neighbour,

Madam Amelia, who had just gotten back.

"Hey, Vera! You're back! "Amelia said, a little surprised. "Vera, it sure has been long since you came back. Your mother told me that you've been living abroad all these years. How have you been? I heard it's common for girls who travel overseas to have a foreign boyfriend. Do you have one?"

Vera didn't know how to respond to the situation.

Although she had been home for a few days, this was the first time she had seen Amelia in a long time.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Amelia was loquacious and a busybody. Vera often bumped into Amelia when she used to live with her parents.

At that time, Amelia would always ask her whether she had a boyfriend and whether she wanted her to introduce some boys for her.

Vera would always refuse. However, the next day Amelia would always bring the boy to her house and set up a blind date for them. From then on, Vera would always make up excuses to avoid Amelia. Now that Vera bumped into Amelia again, if she knew that she was still single, wouldn't she want to set up another blind date for her?

At the thought of this, Vera immediately said, "Yes,

I'm back! My boyfriend is abroad. He did not come back with me."

When Mabie heard this, she narrowed her eyes and stared at her suspiciously. She then said, "Your boyfriend is abroad? Didn't you say that you blew it? Furthermore, you're..."

Before she could finish her words, Vera's expression changed.

"Mom!"

Mabie covered her mouth. She realized that she had nearly revealed the fact that her daughter was dumped. After all, she still had her pride to keep. If not for herself, she should at least help keep her daughter's pride.

Thus, Mabie agreed and said, "Yes, yes, her boyfriend did not come home with her. David got into an accident, that's why I asked her to come home."

"Yeah. Amelia, we were about to head over to the supermarket to get some stuff, well get going first."

After that, Vera held Mabie's arm and made their way downstairs, ignoring Amelia.

Amelia looked at both of them as they walked away and muttered, "What? If you really had a boyfriend, you would have already brought him home and introduced him to everyone. Why wouldn't you want him to come home with you? I'm sure you were dumped, that's why you came back, right?"

Although her voice was low, it was loud enough for Vera to hear.

Vera immediately frowned and wanted to stop. Unexpectedly, Mabie pulled her forward and said, "Just ignore her. I'm sure you know how bad her mouth is. If you turn around and argue with her, she will definitely say something more hurtful."

Mabie hurriedly led Vera downstairs. She said angrily, "What? Am I supposed to not say anything and let her talk about me behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, Mabie gave her a faint look. "If she wants to talk about it, then just let her. She's not wrong either."

Vera was at a loss for words.

"Mom, am I even your daughter? How can you treat me like this?"

"Vera, let me tell you this. I am who I am, and I've never liked putting on an act. I've always lived by a principle; it's called being honest."

Vera could not help but rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Wow, you sure are honest."

As soon as they came home from the supermarket, they started putting away the groceries. Mabie said while she arranged the things "Why don't you head over to the hospital first in case your father wakes up? That way, there will

be at

least someone to look after him.

Leave these to me."

Vera also felt that what her mother said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Alright then. I'll head over to the hospital."

"I will bring you lunch later."

"Thank you, Mom."

Vera went into her room to retrieve her bag and made her way to the hospital.

Because David was out of the woods, he was transferred to the general ward. When Vera entered his ward, she found that he was still in a coma. Maybe because of the accident, she realized her father looked particularly frail. Her heart ached at the sight.

Vera pulled a chair and sat down by her father's bed. She then quietly looked at her father. Tears gradually pooled in her eyes.

If she had come back during the holidays every year, she wouldn't have acted like this now.

Vera still remembered the first thing her relatives said when they saw her.

"Vera, how can you not come back and visit your father for so long? You never even bothered to give him a call. He is your father after all. Your parents raised you, how can you treat them like this? To put it bluntly, if something happened to your father this time, you are indeed guilty."

"Yes, Vera. If anything really happens to him, you will lose him forever. These things are very unpredictable. You must not be so capricious next time." Although Vera firmly believed her father would be fine at that time, her relatives' words made her fearful now.

She knew she was wrong. She had learned her lesson.

She should not be so capricious. So this time, she had made up her mind that if her father woke up, the first thing she would do is apologize to him.

After that, she would stay home and accompany them. She would not leave them anymore.

Tears gradually rolled down Vera's cheeks the more she thought. Vera reached out to wipe the tears away, took a deep breath, and raised her head.

Her eyes fell on David's face again. At this time, she was surprised to be met with a pair of hoary eyes.

Vera was stunned and sat there in a daze while her heart pounded hard against her chest.

"Thump! Thump!"

When David awoke, his movement was stiff, and he found it hard to open his eyes due to the sudden brightness. However, he adjusted slightly and opened his eyes again. Then, he saw his daughter, whom he had not seen in five years, sitting by his bedside.

David was in a trance and could not remember that he was involved in a car accident. He only remembered. that his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for five years, was angry at him and refused to see him. Yet, at this moment, she suddenly appeared in front of him. David felt as if he was in a dream.

Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, David found that he could not take his eyes off of his daughter.

"Vera?"

His voice was a little hoarse as he called his daughter.

Vera had just managed to stop her tears from falling. However, when she heard her father calling out her name, she started tearing up again. She remained in a daze for three seconds, then quickly rushed over to his bed and hugged him.

"Dad, you're finally awake!"
