Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 55

Thalia had been worried all afternoon. Now that Asher was out of danger, she wanted to see him.

After all, he had taken that knife for her.

“Listen to me! Come home now!” Randolph commanded sharply.

Thalia shook her head, her gaze resolute. “Dad, I know you’re angry, but I can’t go home yet. Asher risked his life for me. I have to see him. If he wakes up and I’m not there, he’ll be devastated.”

Lord Blackwood Sr. looked approvingly at her before turning to Randolph. “Randolph, my wife’s words were out of line earlier. I apologize personally, and hope you won’t take them to heart.”

Lord Blackwood added, “Asher would certainly want to see Thalia first when he opens his eyes.”

Lady Blackwood Jr. said, “Please don’t be angry. It’s a wonderful thing that the children have such strong feelings for each other.”

With even the powerful Lord Blackwood Sr. personally apologizing, Randolph found it difficult to maintain his position.

Lady Blackwood had indeed been unreasonable, but the rest of the family seemed sensible.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Thalia. “Very well. You can stay. I’ll go home to check on your

sister.”

After Randolph left, Thalia apologized once more for her impulsive actions.

Lady Blackwood Jr. sighed, taking her hand. “My dear, please stop blaming yourself. This wasn’t your fault. I know you never wanted to see Asher hurt. At the end of the day, this was a failure on our family’s

part. Your father was right.”

Tears welled in Thalia’s eyes. “I need to see Asher.”

Lady Blackwood Jr. squeezed her hand. “Let’s go together.”

When Asher opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Thalia’s worried face.

Seeing him finally awake, emotion welled up inside her, tears immediately spilling down her cheeks.

“Asher, you’re finally awake,” she said, her voice catching.

Asher’s lips twitched into a weak smile, his voice tender despite his condition. “Don’t cry. I’m not going anywhere.”
