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,
