Chapter 1468: The fight Between Us Will Be to the Very Bitter End!

Xia Ruya woke up to find that the decor and equipment of her medical ward had completely changed. She was no longer in that previous ward.
She stared blankly at her strange surroundings, with no idea at all what had happened.
Xia Ruya tried to sit up, but her burns were too severe and her bandages too confining. Her body felt stiff and numb, completely lacking in energy.
She had been bedridden for more than half a month but still couldn’t move. She could only lie there like a mummy—how was she any different from a corpse?
Xia Ruya thought of how Ning Shuqian looked at her with such pity. She was well aware of what such an expression meant, and every time she saw that look, Xia Ruya couldn’t suppress the churning anger and hate in her heart. She desperately wished to dig out Ning Shuqian’s eyeballs.
She was Xia Ruya!
She was an “It girl” and the envy of everyone. How could she possibly be an object of pity by a woman as lowly as that Ning Shuqian?
She was the heiress to the Li Family and a flawless and elegant white rose among the high society of Harbor City. How could she possibly be an object of pity by a woman as lowly as that Ning Shuqian?
She hated Wen Xinya for plunging her into such a hopeless and agonizing state. Making her a miserable, pitiful, lamentable and laughable existence in everyone’s eyes.
Xia Ruya’s black eyes gradually turned bloodshot at the thought of Wen Xinya. Her darkest emotions hidden in the deepest part of her heart rapidly expanded and nearly burst forth. Her hatred for Wen Xinya had morphed into a man-eating demon with long horns, hideous claws, blood-red eyes, and cavernous jaws—slowly chewing away at her own heart.
At that moment, the door opened and a middle-aged woman in a pink nurse’s uniform walked in and stood by the bed to look at Xia Ruya. “You are awake!”
The woman’s voice was cold and she sounded rather unamenable.
Xia Ruya’s demonic rage instantly subsided like a receding tide, but her eyes remained harsh. “Who are you? Where is this place and why am I here?”
No matter how much time had passed, she was unable to accept her disfigurement from the car accident. After watching how glorious Wen Xinya looked on television, despondency and pain grew in the deepest region of Xia Ruya’s heart, together with a shadowy hatred. It surged like a raging flood before morphing into a vicious beast, swallowing all of her reason. All of Xia Ruya’s common sense had plunged into the nether depths of that insane demon.
Still in a daze, she had been pressed onto the bed and then felt the painful prick of a needle into her arm. An Ice-cold liquid was injected into her, spreading out from her limb into the rest of her body. Bit by bit, it eroded her consciousness and she ended up falling into a deep sleep.
Xia Ruya was no fool. She had woken to find herself in a different ward, while her constant companion Ning Shuqian was not around. Even her usual nurse had been changed. There could only be one possible explanation for all this.
She was no longer in the private hospital she had been staying in.
The nurse answered coldly, “This is a private villa at a highly confidential location on the outskirts of Capital city. We hold a comprehensive range of medical amenities and equipment, so you can recuperate here in peace. No one will know you are here.”
Xia Ruya’s injuries were too severe and her condition had been critical—that was why they had sent her to that private hospital as she required top-notch medical treatment. They sealed off the entire hospital and kept the true nature of her injuries a secret, thereby keeping a firm rein on matters at the Harbor City end—but it was not a viable long-term solution. The longer the hospital remained sequestrated, the more the public would speculate about the seriousness of Xia Ruya’s injuries.
Therefore, the moment Xia Ruya’s condition turned stable, they had immediately arranged for her to be secretly transferred out of that hospital to a villa on the outskirts of the city.
So much information had been laid out by the nurse’s cold, simple words that Xia Ruya found difficulty digesting all of it at one go. “Was it Mr. Z who transferred me to this place?”
Mr. Z was the person she had been in contact with previously. It was all thanks to this Mr. Z that she managed to hang onto her life even after that terrible car accident. It was also Mr. Z who sealed the hospital and hid the true nature of her injuries from the public eye.
“Yes, you would have been long dead if not for Mr. Z.” The nurse looked at Xia Ruya woodenly, as if she was looking at a dead body. As if Xia Ruya was just another corpse.
Not just anyone could escape a death sentence passed down by Jiayuan’s Big Boss. From what they understood, none of the commands issued by Jiayuan had ever failed to be realized. Only Mr. Z possessed the capability to save Xia Ruya from that horrific car crash so as to ensure a chance at life for her.
Xia Ruya felt very uncomfortable with how the nurse was looking at her. But she understood very well the need to be humble when under another’s roof. “Help me thank Mr. Z for his benevolent rescue.”
She was actually not grateful toward that Mr. Z for saving her. Xia Ruya was only thankful that she was still a useful pawn in his eyes, and so didn’t suffer the fate of being abandoned.
The nurse replied in a chilly tone, “There’s no need for your thanks. Your gratitude is worthless to Mr. Z. He wants me to tell you that he should have forsaken you since your plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo failed. But he still saved your life on account of your loyalty in carrying out his tasks.
“But this time, he had to go against the big boss behind Jiayuan Club in order to save you. As a result, they have turned their attention toward us. He hopes that you will perform well enough in the future to prove your worth. Don’t let him feel that saving you was a loss-making business decision.”
The nurse gazed down imperiously at Xia Ruya. Most of her face was hidden behind a white surgical mask, revealing only a pair of cold, heartless eyes that shone with a bizarre malevolence. It was spine-chilling.
“Help me thank Mr. Z and tell him that I will not let him down.” Xia Ruya clutched tightly at the bedsheet. Her face was all bound up and no one could guess at her current emotions. Nevertheless, there was a deep fear hidden beneath those black eyes of hers.
Her reply clearly satisfied that nurse. “In that case, take this time to recover well. After a suitable period of time, Mr. Z will arrange for your post-trauma plastic surgery.”
With that, the nurse turned and left the ward.
“Plastic surgery…” Xia Ruya spat out those words venomously. An insane light filled her eyes. “Hahahaha…” Xia Ruya suddenly laughed harshly. It was a sorrowful sound filled with a chilly gloom and utterly hair-raising.
Wen Xinya…
From now on, the fight between us will be to the very bitter end!
