Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 

Lucy’s heart ached with sympathy. 

“It’s all right, Teresa. Ms. Winters is lovely–she won’t mind any of that. Try to relax a bit.” 

Lucy reached out, intending to stroke the young girl’s head. 

Due to chemotherapy, Teresa had lost all her hair and wore a fluffy pink beanie whenever she went out. Lucy knew this pink hat had been bought for her by Mark, and Teresa treasured it dearly. 

Lucy felt a complex mixture of emotions, her eyes stinging slightly. Her outstretched hand hovered in midair before finally descending to gently touch the girl’s hat. 

“Don’t worry, Teresa. Ms. Winters will definitely help with your brother’s case!” 

“Thank you,” the young girl replied, her nervousness fading as she offered a bright smile. “Thank you so much, Lucy and Ms. Winters.” 

Listening to the conversation from the front seat, Thalia sighed deeply to herself. 

Such a tragic situation. 

Why did misfortune always seem to target those already suffering? 

Thalia had strong empathy and sensitivity. Encountering situations like this affected her deeply, and she 

found her eyes growing moist. 

She composed herself, adjusting her emotions before turning to speak to the backseat passengers: “Lucy, could you help Teresa with her seatbelt, please?” 

“Of course.” 

Mark was in the same hospital as Teresa. 

It was an ordinary community hospital, with four beds crammed into a small ward. 

Being early winter, the temperature outside was low, with cold winds blowing, so the ward window were tightly shut.

Chapter 84 

As soon as Thalia entered, she was hit by the sour odor emanating from the patient in the bed nearest the door. The man clearly hadn’t bathed in days, and Thalia nearly gagged. 

She wrinkled her nose, suppressing her discomfort as she followed Teresa further into the ward. 

Mark lay in the bed furthest from the door. 

The young man was propped up against his pillow, staring vacantly out the window at the falling autumn leaves. 

“Brother,” Teresa called out brightly. 

Mark immediately turned to look at her. “Teresa, you’re here. Have you eaten?” 

Teresa nodded with a smile: “Yes! I had something earlier.” 

She was lying. 

She’d secretly slipped out of the hospital that morning to seek Lucy’s help and hadn’t had time to eat 

anything yet. 

To prevent her brother from worrying, she had to tell a small fib. 

“Lucy, you’re here too,” Mark greeted with a smile. 

After acknowledging Lucy, Mark’s gaze shifted to Thalia’s face, hesitantly asking: “And you are…?” 

Lucy answered: “This is a solicitor from our firm. You can call her Ms. Winters.” 

Thalia nodded in greeting. “Hello. Lucy has explained your situation to me. Would it be possible to discuss it further? I believe I can help you claim compensation from your former employer.” 

Mark’s expression grew complicated, and he stammered: “I… I’m terribly sorry, Ms. Winters, but I can’t afford legal fees…” 

The young man gave an embarrassed smile. “As you can see, I’m struggling to pay the medical bills as it is. I truly can’t afford to hire a solicitor… I apologize for wasting your time.” 

Thalia responded seriously: “That’s not a concern, Mr. Bormen. You can pay the legal fees after receiving compensation from the other party. I can take your case on a no–win, no–fee basis.” 

Mark looked confused. “What does ‘no–win, no–fee‘ mean?” 

Chapter 84 

Thalia explained: “It means if we lose the case, you don’t have to pay a penny. It’s a conditional fee 

agreement.” 

Hearing this, Mark’s expression changed subtly. “Is that really possible?” 

“Absolutely,” Thalia replied earnestly. 

Mark nodded. “Well… all right then.” 

“Good,” Thalia acknowledged with a slight nod. “Now, I need to ask you some specific questions about the 

case.” 

Lucy spoke up: “Ms. Winters, you two carry on–I’ll take Teresa back to her ward.” 

After gathering all the necessary information, Mark took out his mobile phone. 

“Ms. Winters, that covers the basics. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Perhaps we should exchange contacts to make communication easier?” 

“Certainly,” Thalia agreed, taking out her phone and opening her messaging app. “I’ll scan your code.” 

For solicitors, exchanging contact details with clients was perfectly normal. 

After adding each other, Mark opened the Deliveroo app on his phone. 

His entire right hand was gone, the wrist wrapped in white bandages. 

He struggled to navigate the phone screen with his left hand, browsing through meal options. 

Thalia glanced over. “Let me help you with that.” 

Mark smiled awkwardly. “Thank you, Ms. Winters. I appreciate it.” 

Thalia took Mark’s phone and suddenly froze as she looked at the screen. 

The app displayed nothing but meals costing less than ten pounds. 

Thalia examined the interface more closely. 

Budget Meals section. 

She’d never paid attention to such inexpensive food options before. 

Chapter 84 

Thalia’s brow furrowed slightly. How could meals be this cheap? They must barely cover the cost of ingredients. 

One could only imagine what sort of materials were used in such budget food. 

Seeing Thalia’s furrowed brow and hesitation, Mark looked at her questioningly. “Is something wrong Ms. Winters? Any option under ten pounds would be fine.” 

Thalia handed the phone back to him. “I’ve just remembered seeing a Burger King downstairs in the hospital lobby. Their meals are reasonably priced as well. Why don’t I go down and get something for 

you? It would be quicker than delivery, so you could eat sooner.” 

“Oh? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?” 

Thalia shook her head. “It’s no trouble at all. It’s just downstairs. I won’t be long.” 

Thalia left the hospital and walked to a nearby Granger & Co. in Notting Hill. 

She took out her phone and messaged Lucy. 

[Has Teresa had lunch yet?] 

Lucy replied quickly. 

[I don’t think so. She came to find me around nine this morning, and we haven’t had time to eat yet.] 

[I see.] 

She ordered meals for three people–Fresh Avocado Toast and Ricotta Hotcakes with banana and honey, all light and suitable for patients. 

Suddenly remembering something, she also called to arrange for two private caregivers.
