Chapter 148
When Leah heard what Meredith said, she jumped and immediately left.
In the end, Leah found her daughter’s room in the innermost guest room.
Looking at her daughter’s quiet face, she was heartbroken and angry at the same time. She was angry at how useless her daughter was for not seizing such a good opportunity.

“Yena, when are you going to come around? If you still don’t wake up, Mister Josiah is going to be taken away by other women,” Leah said heartbrokenly. As usual, Yena could not hear her, nor did she react in any way. “Yena, why were you so silly back then? Why did you have to interfere in that evil woman’s matter? What does Meredith having an affair have to do with you? Couldn’t you have just stayed away from her? “Look at you right now. Meredith has already started a new life, yet you can’t even open your eyes. It was not worth it. “Yena, I only have you left. If you keep lying there like that, what am I going to do? Could you bear to watch me age all alone?” Josiah walked over and stood behind Leah. “Miss Leah, don’t worry. I will take care of you even when you’re old.”
Leah turned around and looked at him. She nodded. “Sir, you have taken care of me already. I only hope that Yena comes around and be with me. After all, she’s my only daughter.”
“I understand,” Josiah said, “Don’t worry, Yena will come around one day.”
“Do you think so?”
“Hmm. Her attending doctor has said that her chances of waking up are high.”
“That’s good to hear.” Leah held Yena’s hand and rubbed it on her face. She said heartbrokenly, “See, her hands are cold.”
“Maybe because it’s quite cold here.” Josiah picked up the remote control to the air conditioning and increased the temperature. Then, he bent down and tucked Yena in properly.
Leah saw how considerate he was. She should have liked Josiah even more, but she could not help but think back about the scene in the bedroom a moment ago.
She cautiously asked, “Sir, what if Yena never comes around her entire life? Will you still keep taking care of her?”
“Don’t worry, I will take care of her.”
“Then, will you marry her?”
Josiah was slightly stunned. He turned and looked at her.
Leah immediately said, “I’m sorry, Sir. I’m only too heartbroken for Yena. I’m worried about what will happen to her in the future. I’m even more worried that when she wakes up and realises that you treat her so well yet you can’t marry her… I don’t want her to have an emotional breakdown.” “Yena won’t,” Josiah said, “Yena has always been kind. She is understanding too. She would never ask for things that are not hers.”
“Sir, that’s because of your previous marriage. You marrying Meredith was for the benefit of both the companies, which was why Yena was so understanding and held herself back.”
Leah’s eyes reddened. She sniffled her nose and said, “Only I, as her mother, knows best about her feelings for you. Only I know how hurt she was suppressing all her feelings. She has been disguising herself well.”
Josiah said nothing. He merely looked at Yena in silence.
Leah secretly snuck him a glance and continued, “So, Sir, right now I hope that she comes around quickly, yet I’m afraid for her to do so too
