Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia) novel Chapter 80

Early the next morning, Thalia was awakened by a telephone call. 

She groggily pressed answer, her voice heavy with sleepiness. “Hello? Who is it?” 

“Thalia, you need to come to the hospital to see Drake.” James‘ urgent, worried voice came through the line. “Drake nearly died, do you know that?” 

The mere mention of Drake’s name filled Thalia with irritation. She’d already been exhausted from the 

previous night’s activities, hadn’t slept nearly enough before being rudely awakened, thinking it must be something important–only for it to be about Drake. 

Thalia was thoroughly annoyed, her temper flaring. She responded testily: “If he dies, just arrange the funeral. Let me know when it’s happening, and out of respect for our past relationship, I’ll send a generous condolence gift to his mother.” 

With that, Thalia promptly hung up, not caring about James‘ reaction, and switched her phone to silent. 

The commotion had awakened Asher. From beneath the covers, he tightened his arm around Thalia, his voice deep and magnetic. “Stay and sleep a bit longer with me.” 

Thalia nestled closer to Asher, like an affectionate kitten seeking warmth. 

The two of them lay snuggled in the same warm duvet, holding each other close. 

The world seemed to contain only the two of them. 

No matter how fiercely the snow and wind raged outside, it had nothing to do with them. 

When James placed the call, Drake was already awake. 

The call had been James‘ own idea, though he knew exactly what Drake was thinking. 

Drake was clinging to an unrealistic hope–he desperately wanted to know if Thalia would be concerr about him nearly dying. Would she come to see him? 

So he had anticipated this call eagerly.

He had instructed James to put it on speakerphone. 

However, when Thalia heard he had nearly died, not only did she offer not a single word of concern, but she responded with such cold–hearted words. 

Drake’s hands clenched into tight fists, the veins on the backs of his hands protruding, his face paper–white, his lips completely drained of colour. 

James put away his phone, swallowing nervously. He thought Drake would explode with anger, and he barely dared to breathe. 

However, Drake didn’t fly into a rage as he typically would. 

After a prolonged silence, he simply said quietly: “Leave me alone. I need some time to myself.” 

Just as James exited the hospital room, he encountered Sienna coming toward him. James was 

surprised–Sienna had actually traveled all the way to Annecy. 

Sienna’s face was full of concern. “How is Drake?” 

James sighed, shaking his head helplessly. “Not good at all.” 

“What happened? How did a simple vacation land him in hospital?” 

James explained: “Last night was freezing with snow falling, about five or six degrees below zero. He was wandering around in just a thin shirt, eventually collapsed in the snow. Some passerby brought him to the hospital.” 

Sienna frowned. “Why would he do something like that?” 

James hesitated, seemingly caught between speaking and remaining silent. 

Although Drake hadn’t said anything, James could guess the reason–it could only be because of Thalia. 

The place where Drake had collapsed last night was near their accommodation in Annecy, where Thalia and her boyfriend were also staying. 

How could he explain this? 

It was such a headache. 

When Sienna had first returned from abroad, Drake and Thalia were still together.

Drake had spent all his time hanging around with Sienna, with no regard for Thalia’s feelings. Now the tables had turned, and karma was catching up to him. 

They say men are natural actors, and James found this particularly apt. 

Drake’s current state wasn’t necessarily because he loved Thalia so deeply–it might simply be an act to gain Thalia’s sympathy and make her soften toward him. 

As for Sienna, James genuinely despised her. 

Back then, Sienna had clearly known Drake and Thalia were together, yet she had shamelessly thrown herself at him. Anyone willing to be the third person in a relationship couldn’t be a decent sort. 

With this thought, James suddenly found it wasn’t so difficult to speak after all. 

In a neutral tone, James said: “It’s probably because of Thalia. You know, Thalia has a fiancé now, and they’re quite in love. Drake saw Thalia and her boyfriend at the old town last night, got emotional, and went mental. He wandered around alone late at night for ages until he collapsed.” 

“Ah,” James sighed deeply, wearing an expression of profound regret. “You’ve no idea–he nearly died. If that passerby hadn’t found him in time and brought him to hospital, we probably would never have seen him again.” 

Having said this, James surreptitiously observed Sienna’s expression. 

The color drained from Sienna’s face instantly. 

She murmured: “For Thalia?” 

James sighed. “Yes, indeed. Just look at him, isn’t he pathetic? Ah, only learning to cherish something after losing it…” 

Sienna was trembling with anger, her voice rising sharply. “You’re saying he nearly threw his life away 

for Thalia?” 

A passing nurse reprimanded her disapprovingly: “Madam, this is a hospital. Please keep your voice 

down.” 

Sienna’s complexion shifted from white to red with anger. 

She forcefully pushed open the hospital room door. “Drake! What’s the meaning of this?” 

James smirked, his gossipy eyes peering curiously into the room.

“BANG!” The door slammed shut. 

The next moment, heated arguing could be heard from inside.
