Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Randolph Winters and Victoria soon arrived at the compound as well.

Victoria embraced Lucy, crying uncontrollably.

"My darling... I thought I'd never see you again... Mummy's been thinking of you every day, dreaming of you every night. Oh sweetheart, Mummy was absolutely beside herself." Thalia stood nearby, silently weeping.

These past few days, every tshe closed her eyes, she would see that madman Tom Malfoy torturing her sister. She had nightmares constantly-dreams of Malfoy pouring petrol over Lucy, wanting to burn her alive, dreams of Malfoy telling her to exchange her own life for her sister's.

In this emotional scene, even Randolph, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.

He had thousands of words he wanted to say, but when it cdown to it, all he could manage was, "Lucy, Daddy missed you terribly." After the family of four had cried together, the observant Victoria noticed that Lucy's mental state was concerning With reddened eyes, she said, "Lucy was already traumatized from her previous kidnapping. Now she's been taken to Russia and nearly lost her life. I'm so worried about her...

Her voice trailed off as she couldn't continue.

Lucy wasn't even nine years old, yet she had experienced two kidnappings.

How could such a young girl withstand these successive traumas? Her mental health would certainly be affected.

Dark circles shadowed Randolph's eyes.

He hadn't had a proper night's sleep since his younger daughter had been kidnapped.

Now, Randolph looked haggard and exhausted, his eyes filled with guilt and concern as he looked at his little girl. "I'll get onto the best psychologist straight away." Thalia added, "I'll also reach out to my contacts for recommendations and find the most highly regarded child psychologist available. Victoria, Lucy will get better, I promise." Victoria let out a heavy sigh. "I do hope so." Chapter 161 Asher and Leo were discussing matters outside.

The Winters family cout, and both parties cface to face.

Asher's gaze fell on Thalia, and their eyes met. Thalia's eyes were red from crying A wave of concern spread across Asher's face.

Thalia pursed her lips and silently looked away.

Victoria had intended to thank Asher, but when she remembered that her precious daughter wouldn't have been kidnapped if not for him, she found herself unable to utter the words.

Randolph gave Asher a cold, irritated look.

Asher maintained his composure and politely greeted him. "Uncle Randolph." "I'd prefer you didn't callthat. I hardly think I qualify," Randolph replied with obvious sarcast Asher wasn't bothered and simply nodded slightly, saying, "How is Lucy doing?" This question further angered Randolph.

He snorted coldly. "Thanks to you, she nearly lost her life." "..." .." Asher lowered his eyes, his expression filled with remorse. "I'm truly sorry." Nearby, Leo wanted to say something, but without Asher's permission, he didn't dare interject.

Faced with Asher's humble apology, Randolph remained unconvinced.

A fire burned within him as he said coldly, "What bloody good is an apology? Can a simple "sorry heal the harm done to Thalia and Lucy?" Asher remained silent.

Randolph snorted again and stormed off, carrying Lucy.

Victoria said nothing and followed.

Thalia also began to leave.

As she passed Asher, he suddenly grasped her wrist. "Lia...........” Thalia stopped and looked up at him. "Is there something else?" Asher's eyes were deep, filled with pain, his demeanor humble. "Can we reconcile?" 44576 Chapter 161 Thalia froze.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

After a long moment, she responded with a furrowed brow. "What on earth are you talking about?" Reconcile? At this point, how could they possibly reconcile? Putting aside the fact that Asher's grandmother disliked her and strongly opposed their relationship, even if by smiracle she approved, Thalia could never reconcile with him.

Between them stood Lucy's kidnapping-both she and her sister had nearly lost their lives. Randolph now harbored a deep hatred for the Blackwood family. Even if Thalia still had feelings for Asher in her heart, reconciliation was impossible.

So even though she had learned the truth about their breakup from Malfoy's men-that the actress he was rumored to be with, Laurina Kensington, was his cousin, that she held an important place in his heart, and that he was willing to risk his life to save her-she had never mentioned reconciliation.

There was no going back.

There was no future for them.

Thalia had thought Asher understood this clearly.

But now, it seemed he still harbored unrealistic hopes.

Suddenly, Thalia's heart wrenched with pain.

In truth, she too found it difficult to accept this outcome.

But it was a dead end.

She was trapped within it, suffering mentally and physically, with no way out.

Yes, Asher had rescued Lucy.

But the fact remained that without Asher, Lucy would never have been kidnapped, never been in mortal danger.

Without Asher, she would never have becTom Malfoy's target for revenge against him.

Seeing Thalia silent with lowered eyes, the corners of Asher's eyes reddened. His throat felt bitter and constricted, his heart aching to the point of suffocation.

After a long while, Thalia heard her own hoarse voice: "We can't go back, Asher. We can 80 back." Clare 30 The grip on herria suddenly gineand then gradually loosened.

Finally. Adey released Thudie's hand His eyes our pet back, the botondess abysses, emotions surging within them, layer upon layer, rippling with pas Thalia dadat look larto Asher's eyes.

She said nothing more Once Asher released her hand, she fled as if granted a great reprieve.

In the cold wind The man stood motionless like a sculpture.

He lowered his eyes, and beneath his distinct eyelashes, a tear silently fell.

Soundlessly.

Unnoticed

In the early spring, where the grass grew and orioles flew, all things were reviving with vibrant life. New life. sprouted from the New buds roadside branches, flowers bloomed competitively in gardens, and gentle winds and fine rain nourished the earth. Everything was flourishing with vitality. But Asher's world remained desolate and barren, devoid of life, reduced to black and white.

Upon learning of Lucy's psychological problems, Asher immediately contacted the world's most authoritative psychologist, even flying overnight to personally invite them.

When Randolph found out, he merely gave a cold, dismissive curl of his lips.

The doctor arrived in London and, barely having tto unpack her belongings, went straight to treat Lucy.

When Asher brought the doctor to the Winters' home, Victoria was Qm politely distant, offering a brief "thank you white Randolph maintained his usual attitude, showing no warmth toward Asher.. The doctor was highly professional and experienced.

After her preliminary diagnosis, she quickly provided a treatment plan and proactively offered to stay at the Winters hto provide daily care for Lucy.

The blonde, blue eyed, middle-aged female doctor from Hôpital Sainte-Anne in Paris explained in ch, for childrenenvironments and people facilitate healing. I don't recommend sending her to a hospital or care facility. Staying at his best for treatment. If it's convenient, I can remain here to treat her." 99.8% Chapter 161 Randolph replied in equally fluent French, "Of course it's convenient. Please do stay. Thank you, doctor." The doctor nodded and smiled. "No need for thanks. As doctors, we naturally hope for children to recover quickly." Seeing that matters were settled, Asher said, "Right, I'll be off then." Randolph maintained his icy attitude, acting as if he hadn't heard, not even sparing Asher a glance.

Victoria, however, responded, "Take care." Asher looked toward Thalia.

His gaze filled with longing and deep affection.

But Thalia lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

A sharp pain struck Asher's heart. He withdrew his gaze, turned, and walked toward the door.

Only after the man turned did Thalia look up at him.

His retreating figure exuded loneliness and desolation.

Thalia's breath caught.

Her eyes stung and ached. ♡ (0) mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
