Chapter 1448: Seems Like a Nightmare

After ten hours of treatment, Xia Ruya finally survived for the time being. However, as her injuries were really too serious, she’d been sent to the Intensive Care Unit for observation.

The doctor wasn’t too optimistic about Xia Ruya’s injuries. According to him, the large burnt areas all over Xia Ruya’s body had caused her body’s muscle composition, cells, and partial bodily functions to be seriously damaged. Even though she’d survived temporarily and got transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, she was still in a severely critical condition.

He’d even asked her to inform the patient’s family to be prepared!

Prepared for what?

For her funeral?

Ning Shuqian subconsciously looked towards the Xia Ruya laying on the hospital bed. The white blanket covered her entire body, only exposing her neck and head. Her entire head, including her eyes and mouth, was bandaged, leaving only a thin slit beneath her nose.

Ning Shuqian could imagine just how terrifying, ugly, and horrible her face, currently covered by a white bandage, looked!

“Sob—” Ning Shuqian suddenly covered her mouth. Seeing the situation now, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

A perfectly fine person actually became as gruesome as this!

Xia Ruya was only at the tender age of twenty-one-years-old this year with a great future ahead. However, this accident had robbed her of her youthful capital and instead turned her horribly ugly—nobody would be able to accept it.

Xia Ruya was young, beautiful, came from an outstanding background, and was talented. She still had an even more glamorous future. However, this accident had covered everything with an unsightly shadow, turning it awful.

Although Xia Ruya could do plastic surgery after recovering to reinstate her original looks and body.

However, to an arrogant person who took pride in her looks like Xia Ruya, plastic surgery was simply like a nightmare. Even plastic surgery wouldn’t be able to conceal her once gruesome looks due to the accident. Every time she looked into the mirror and saw her flawless looks, she’d recall just how grim she’d look. This would also leave a painful psychological scar in her heart.

Moreover, what could plastic surgery do? Large-Scale plastic surgery wasn’t like cutting double eyelids, creating a higher nose, or modifying the shape of the lips. These minor plastic surgeries were merely meant to enhance one’s looks. Even if others were to find out, a couple of patronizing words would suffice. However, a large-scale plastic surgery was an entirely different story.

In China, plastic surgery was frowned upon. For a perfectionist like Xia Ruya, plastic surgery was extremely humiliating.

Ning Shuqian sat in the ward in a daze, keeping watch by Xia Ruya’s side. Thinking of how Xia Ruya ended up, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sympathy for a fellow being.

Although Wen Xinya didn’t kill Xia Ruya, she’d destroyed everything that Xia Ruya had been proud of and even considered as her assets.

“Hmm…” Just then, an extremely meek groan was heard from the bed. Ning Shuqian had a scare and hurriedly looked over to Xia Ruya to see the eyelashes on her face trembling—even her fingers moved.

Was she going to awaken?

Didn’t the doctor say that she was seriously injured and that although she had temporarily survived, she wouldn’t awaken for the time being?

Just then, Xia Ruya’s eyelids kept struggling before she managed a thin slit. She also looked like she was conscious. Ning Shuqian hurriedly went up to her ear and asked, “Ruya, are… are you okay!”

Hearing her voice, the movements on Xia Ruya’s eyelids intensified and she only managed to open her eyes after a while. “Aunt… Aunt Ning… is that you?”

As she only managed a slit in her eyelids, Xia Ruya’s vision was so blurry that she could only vaguely see shadows and totally couldn’t see the person before her. She’d based on her own judgment to conclude that the person by her side was Ning Shuqian.

“Ruya, it’s me. It’s Aunt Ning!” Xia Ruya’s weak voice was so soft that it became a murmur. If not for the fact that Ning Shuqian moved her ears by her lips, she totally couldn’t hear her words.

Xia Ruya had just been resuscitated and she was determined to wake up. There must be something important that she wanted to say.

“I… am I still alive?” Xia Ruya asked weakly as the thin slit of her eye looked at Ning Shuqian lifelessly and without any focus, as though she’d lost her vision.

Xia Ruya only felt like she’d had a terrible nightmare. She was driving on the road when she lost control due to her brakes malfunctioning, crashed onto the barriers by the road, rolled down the hill, and, due to oil leakage, finally an explosion happened.

She had screamed and cried hysterically, hoping that someone would save her as she banged on the car door. Trapped within the car, her body was flung violently at the roof of the car and glass door alternately as the car shook, causing her great pain all over and blood to flow incessantly.

Finally, the nightmare concluded with the loud “bang, bang, bang, bang—” of the car as well as the angry flames.

She was shaken awake.

However, she didn’t know if she was dead or alive!

Ning Shuqian only felt terrible as her eyes glistened. “Still alive. You’re still very much alive!”

Very much alive, just that the price that was paid was really too scary.

“I… what happened to me…” Xia Ruya felt slightly dizzy and she lost the ability to think.

Ning Shuqian was suddenly speechless as the lump in her throat grew.

“I… I had a nightmare and dreamt that I was in an accident. I was in such great pain—as though someone placed me in the fire to burn—feeling scorched and painful all over, and feeling like someone wounded me all over and then placed me in a chili solution…”

Xia Ruya subconsciously said a long speech in broken chunks, shattered bits and torn pieces, which formed her last painful memory before the accident.

Ning Shuqian couldn’t help but sob. “Don’t worry, you’re fine!”

“I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine…” Xia Ruya chanted as the slit on her eyelids finally couldn’t fight the weakness and fatigue of both her body and her heart. “Don’t… don’t tell my… great grandfather!” The chanting eventually disappeared by her lips.

Fine!

That was just to pacify the semi-conscious Xia Ruya.

When Xia Ruya completely came to, she’d know just exactly what scary thing happened to her and just how gruesome she’d turned into!

Thinking of everything, Ning Shuqian felt terrified.

What was scarier was that over at the Harbor City, although Ruya’s position in the Li Corporation had been stabilized, those shareholders were still watching her at all times for the slightest opportunity to grab hold of any of Ruya’s weakness in order to pull her down from the position as the successor.

If they knew that Ruya became like this…
