Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1453 - The Pain of Being Engulfed by Burning Flames

Chapter 1453: The Pain of Being Engulfed by Burning Flames

Xia Ruya slipped into a coma for five days after being rescued successfully. Ning Shuqian was extremely worried about Xia Ruya, whose condition was not optimistic. Hence, she took the time to visit her at the hospital every day.
Honestly speaking, Ning Shuqian was rather true to Xia Ruya. Back when Wen Haowen got married to her behind Old Mr. Wen’s back, she moved into the Wen Family with her daughter from another marriage and hence, did not live well in the Wen Family.
Back then, she was just a normal girl who married into a wealthy family. Hence, she did not have much of an eyeopener then and everyone in the upper-class society looked down on her for coming from a humble background and being a homewrecker. Her life goal was then to become a graceful wealthy man’s wife and thus, skincare, beauty and etiquette became the focus of her life.
Later on, Xia Ruya was mistaken to be the flesh and blood of the Wen Family. During then, she was eager about securing her footing in the Wen Family and proving herself to Old Mr. and Mrs. Wen. Hence, she went out of her way to please Xia Ruya, who was also interested in becoming closer to her. The two of them hit it off well and thus, got on good terms with each other.
That was also the reason her life in the Wen Family home becoming less miserable.
Xia Ruya then became the Xia Family’s illegitimate daughter while Wen Xinya, who was boorish and unacceptable, returned to the Wen Family. However, the Wen Family detested her because of her inferiority. Ever since then, the greed and ambitions within her seemed to have burst all of a sudden.
Although she had known Xia Ruya for such a long time, there had never been any conflicting interests between them.
In fact, they even shared similar goals for some reason. Hence, it was only understandable that they would cooperate with each other.
Xia Ruya’s life was still in danger after the accident and Ning Shuqian really did not wish for anything to happen to her.
“Water… water…” Her dry and murmuring voice sounded in the empty intensive care unit. Although her words were a little slurred, they were still audible.
Ning Shuqian frantically snapped out of her trance, only to see that Xia Ruya was laying on the bed. She looked like she was about to wake up soon.
She frantically poured a glass of warm water and propped the bed up to let Xia Ruya sit up, after which she let Xia Ruya drink some water using a straw.
Xia Ruya snapped out of her daze after drinking the water.
“Ruya, you’re finally awake!” Ning Shuqian exclaimed, staring at her head which was covered in a bandage. Her eyes opened slowly and she looked extremely daunting.
“Aunt… Aunt Ning!” Xia Ruya slowly looked up, hear moist and watery eyes appearing soulless. Her vision seemed to have gone out of focus and she could not see the person in front of her either.
Ning Shuqian heaved a sigh of relief. Although Xia Ruya had already come to, it did not mean that her condition would become stable. However, it was at least better than before.
Xia Ruya stared at Ning Shuqian in shock as her mind went blank. “Aunt… Aunt Ning, what’s wrong with me? Is this… the hospital?”
She was greeted with the sight of white walls and medical equipment and machinery, all of which made her feel extremely flustered and overwhelmed with fear, making her feel vulnerable.
Ning Shuqian subconsciously asked, “Ruya… don’t… don’t you remember what happened during the car accident?”
Ning Shuqian finally realized that Xia Ruya’s mind was still fuzzy since she had just woken up after a long coma. Hence, she obviously wouldn’t remember what happened previously and she was just agitating Xia Ruya by asking that question.
Xia Ruya stared at Ning Shuqian in puzzlement with eyes glassed over and soulless. “Car… accident?”
It was as if her brain had been hit by a huge and heavy hammer which gave her a huge headache. The sounds of the brake screeching seemed to ring in her ears, and the images of the car accident popped up in her head, making her feel an excruciating pain that made her feel nauseous and disgusted.
“Ruya… Ruya… what’s wrong with you?” Ning Shuqian noticed that her gray eyes seemed to have stopped moving in their sockets and continued to dilate and constrict continuously.
It was all because of fear, horror, and terror.
“Help… help me. I don’t… I don’t want… I don’t want to die…” Xia Ruya was still struck by fear and could not pull herself out of it. She could not stop feeling weak and hopeless.
The pungent odor of gas and kerosene wafted up into her nose and caused her head to spin. The car had already lost control and none of her yells, shrieks, and screams helped. The car then slammed into a barricade by the roadside. Her body jerked forward involuntarily and caused her head to be slammed against the glass window. It then began bleeding and she could still feel the hopelessness that she felt when blood flowed into her eyes during a daze. She struggled so hard that it seemed she had no energy to even cry or struggle.
“Ruya, Ruya, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me…” Ning Shuqian stared at Xia Ruya, who was lying motionlessly on the ground, all wrapped up and bandaged like a mummy. At this moment, she looked rather menacing. Her eyes were full of resentment and menace. She looked just like a demon who would devour someone.
Ning Shuqian could not help but get the chills.
She subconsciously wanted to escape.
Xia Ruya screamed hysterically in a shrilling voice that was still rather hoarse because she had just woken up.
The last image in her head that she remembered was of a loud explosion that seemed to have penetrated her weak willpower and exploded in her head.
She struggled to open her eyes, after which she was greeted with the sight of thick fumes.
She was then overwhelmed with excruciating pain!
She felt like she was being engulfed by flames.
She had once heard that sinners would be banished to the 18th level of Hell in their afterlife, where they would feel like they were being deep-fried in oil and consumed by flames.
She really believed it at that moment!
“Ru… Ruya, I’ll go look for the nurse…” Ning Shuqian spluttered while staring at Xia Ruya, who was lying stiffly on the bed while flinching and twitching uncontrollably, her eyes rolled up to expose the white sclera. She seemed to be exhaling more than she inhaled, thus appearing rather daunting.
Am I dying?
Am I going to die without a complete body?
She felt really indignant!
At last, she plunged into darkness with resentment and Wen Xinya on her mind.
Wen Xinya, I won’t let you off even if I’m dead!
