Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 188

“Poisoned? Catherine was stunned, unable to believe her ears.

The doctor explained using complex medical terminology that Catherine struggled to comprehend.

When he simplified his explanation, Catherine finally understood.

Andrew had been poisoned with a slow acting toxin. The poison was water-soluble, colorless, and tasteless.

Occasional small doses wouldn't produce noticeable symptoms, but long-term exposure would eventually prove

fatal as the poison infiltrated vital organs.

While Thalia remained in surgery, Andrew had been rushed into another emergency room.

The hospital issued a critical condition notice, which Catherine signed in a daze.

Certain details suddenly becpainfully clear in her mind.

Andrew had been losing hair at an alarming.

But she had dismissed it as a natural part of agin developing bald patches.

Most men his age experienced significant hair loss, some

His appetite had also been declining. Dark circles had appeared beneath his eyes, giving him a perpetually

exhausted, haggard appearance.

Catherine had observed these changes but hadn't particularly cared.

Her emotional connection to Andrew had been severed over twenty years ago when he had his affair. In the

years since, their relationship hadn't improved-they merely maintained a facade of stability.

Andrew himself had noticed his deteriorating health.

The business had been demanding lately. Although the elder Mr. Blackwood had transferred most authority to

Asher, Andrew still retained his position as chairman of Blackwood Group.

It was, after all, the family business. As chairman, Andrew couldn’t avoid concerning himself with company

matters.

Like Catherine, he had attributed his hair loss to age and his lack of appetite, insomnia, and intermittent pain to

overwork and insufficient rest.

Andrew had planned to undergo a comprehensive medical examination once his schedule cleared, but his body

had given out before that could happen.

Then:

“Call the police,” he ordered authoritatively.

“I will.”

“Ill try to get away from the forum and fly back to London,” he continued. “I want to meet with Malfoy and Grace

Bennett personally.”

Lady Blackwood stood beside Catherine. Upon hearing Catherine’s suspicion of Grace, her expression darkened

After Catherine ended the call, Lady Blackwood glared at her, her voice edged with anger: “Don’t talk sur Grace

He's her adoptive father, for heaven's sake! How could she poison her own father?”

Catherine was exasperated by Lady Blackwood’s naivety. “Mother, you've always been far too soft with Grace.

She’s committed serious crimes, yet you still insist she’s ‘not inherently wicked? She was involved in murder and

cover-ups-what makes you think she would draw the line at poisoning an adoptive father with whom the shares

“No! Impossible!” Lady Blackwood shook her head vehemently. “Grace wouldn't poison Andrew She simply

Lady Blackwood did harbor suspicions deep down, but she couldn't bear to acknowledge them

She continued shaking her head, muttering to herself, seemingly trying to convince both Catherine and herself.

After windly long wait, the doors to the emergency room finally opened

Asher, Ropert, and Randolph aged forward admost simultaneously,

Asher: “Doctor, how is Lia doing?”

Rupert “Doctor, what's her condition?”

Randolph “Doctor, how’s my daughter?”

Everyone else looked on with tense concern, collectively holding their breath, hearts pounding-hoping for good

news whole dreading the worst.

The lead surgeon removed his mask, a smile breaking through his exhausted features. “She’s out of danger.

We're transferring her to intensive care. You'll be able to visit her in three days.”

A collective sigh of relief swept through the group.

The emptiness in Asher’s eyes finally gave way to a glimmer of light, the oppressive weight on his chest lifting

slightly.

He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them to say with profound sincerity: “Thank you, doctor.”

The others wept with joy, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

Randolph, a man nearing fifty, had tears streaming down his reddened eyes, his voice choked with emotion:

“Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much...”

The doctor nodded and departed.

As nurses wheeled Thalia out, Asher gazed at her pale, unconscious form, and his heart contracted painfully.

The agony cin waves, utterly devastating.

They cleared a path as the nurses wheeled Thalia toward the intensive care unit.

The oppressive atmosphere finally lifted.

Several of the young women had cried until their eyes were red.

Charlotte wiped her reddened eyes. “Thank God she’s okay, thank God.”

Alana didn’t cry, but she exhaled deeply, her perpetually furrowed brow finally relaxing.

Drake looked toward Asher and scoffed. “Blackwood, Thalia nearly lost her life because of you. Stop bringing

misfortune into her life!”

Asher remained silent.

The hours Thalia had spent in surgery had been the most painful, oppressive, and guilt-ridden hours of his life.

He couldn't refute Drake’s words.

Because he felt exactly the sway.

If not for him, why would Malfoy have targeted Thalia?

Self-recrimination engulfed him.

Asher’s heart felt as though it were being repeatedly squeezed and torn by an invisible hand, the pain nearly

spasmodic.

Randolph looked up at Asher, his voice cold: “Blackwood, he’s right. From now on, stay far away from Thalia.

Stop bringing her harm.”
