Chapter 1486: Just Look at Your Horrid Self

After receiving treatment for a period of time, Xia Ruya’s burn injuries finally recovered. The doctor said that she could already undergo plastic surgery, but Xia Ruya wasn’t prepared and even detested and rejected plastic surgery.
At this point, the door and windows of Xia Ruya’s room were locked tight. Even the curtains were drawn tight, preventing any possibility of anyone peeping. The dim lightings of the room gave off an icy cold, eerie feeling.
Xia Ruya’s head was tightly wrapped in a bandage and she was wearing a loose blue and white hospital gown as she stood in front of the full-length mirror in the room, staring at her reflection that she couldn’t recognize.
The bandage on Xia Ruya’s body had already been removed as she recovered from her injuries. The blue and white hospital gown wrapped around her. Up till now, she still daren’t lift her clothes and look at just how badly her body had been injured after the car accident.
And she didn’t even have the courage to remove the bandage on her face. She could almost imagine just how bad a 30% burn would do to the looks that she had always been proud of. She was afraid of letting others see how horrid she looked after removing the bandage, afraid of seeing others’ looks of horror, sympathy, and pity.
Even more so, she didn’t want to face the truth of her impending plastic surgery.
“You don’t even dare to look at your own looks and body. Xia Ruya, by being so weak and escaping like this, how can you let Mr. Z believe that you’ll prove yourself worthy of him saving you?”
The icy cold eerie voice suddenly rang behind Xia Ruya.
“Ah—” Xia Ruya, who had been completely immersed in her thoughts, couldn’t help but instinctively gasp in shock to suddenly hear this voice. She turned around suddenly and saw the nurse who had been taking care of her during this period of time standing behind her wearing a pink nurse uniform. Her face was still hidden behind her mask, concealing her looks and only revealing those slightly cloudy, icy cold, and eerie eyes.
Seeing Xia Ruya’s timid reaction, her eyes were filled with ridicule. “How useless!”
Only then did Xia Ruya calm her emotions down as she asked coldly, her deep eyes moistened, “Why did you suddenly appear in my room? The fact that I locked the door from the inside shows that nobody is welcome. You don’t even have basic manners, no wonder you’re fated to only serve others.”
Xia Ruya had been shocked mainly because this woman was really too odd and eerie—as scary as a ghost. Although Mr. Z got her over to take care of her, she felt more like she was being watched.
This woman had always been putting up a look of contempt towards her and never respected her. This made the arrogant Xia Ruya extremely annoyed and secretly hated her. Thus, she didn’t treat the other party well either.
Xia Ruya was very clear that the fact that Mr. Z was willing to spare the effort to save her and arrange everything for her showed that, at least for now, she was still valuable to Mr. Z. Naturally, she was exceptionally fearless.
“You…” That nurse was obviously triggered as her voice became sharper. However, she didn’t move at all, which showed that she was rather good at controlling her temper.
Xia Ruya raised her head up high, radiating a sense of pride all over. With her uninjured finger which was skinny and slender, she pointed at the door and said, “Please get out right now!”
A cold and eerie glow flashed past that nurse’s eyes as she stood rooted to the ground despite Xia Ruya’s order. After a while, she suddenly laughed in an eerie manner and said, “Xia Ruya, do you dare to look at your horrid self in the mirror now?”
Saying which, she turned and left the room.
Do you dare to look at your horrid self in the mirror now?
Dare to look at your horrid self?
Your horrid self?
Horrid self…
These words rang in Xia Ruya’s head non-stop, invading her brain like a curse, and feasting on her senses incessantly as demonic emotions filled her heart.
She stared hard at the door, her cold-blooded and slimy eyes hissing like a poisonous snake, almost piercing a hole through the door. Her skinny and eerie fingers were held tightly in fists as her sharp nails sank ruthlessly into her tender palms.
Horrid self?
Referring to her?
She was Xia Ruya—the beautiful, elegant Xia Ruya with peerlessly gorgeous looks which attracted men like bees to honey and made women envious and jealous. She was a graceful, innocent, and flawless white rose blooming in the upper-class society.
How did she become horrid?
So horrid that even she daren’t look at?
Xia Ruya suddenly had the impulse to tear off the bandage and look at herself.
However, when her hands touched the bandage, she suddenly paused.
Her skinny and eerie fingers started trembling incessantly.
She was right—she didn’t even have the courage to look at herself.
She had lost count of just how many times she had stood before the mirror, wanting to look at herself, yet she retreated every time.
From the car accident till now, so much time had already passed. She still couldn’t face the fact that she was disfigured and couldn’t accept that she had already lost the thing that she had prided herself on the most.
In the middle of the nights, she had been woken up by nightmares of the accident for umpteen times—the way the car lost control, the leaking oil, the tumbling, the sound of the explosion, the blazing flames…
And how she sat in the car, struggling hysterically, crying pitifully for help, her helpless screams, and the pain of the impending death…
And the one who had caused all of these were none other than her arch enemy—Wen Xinya!
She had destroyed everything that belonged to her.
From the day she returned to the Wen Family, she had suffered incessant losses—her status, reputation, family, looks, and pride…
Wen Xinya didn’t take any extreme measures, but she calculated each of her steps carefully, and gradually pushed her to her limits.
She had originally thought that by becoming the successor of the Li Family of the Harbor City, she had the capability to fight Wen Xinya. However, she was wrong. As she was struggling with the hatred for Wen Xinya, Wen Xinya was already standing at a height that she could never reach.
The gorgeous transformation!
The stunning comeback!
The popular capabilities!
The extreme talent in jewelry design!
This person had somehow already become the highest mountain in her heart, one that she could never scale and could only admire in resentment.
She couldn’t accept it, no, no…
Her indignant heart made Xia Ruya overwhelmed with extreme emotions. She suddenly shut her eyes, reached her hand out, and removed the bandage on her face. Layers and layers of bandage fell from her face, but her eyes remained shut.
Following which, she slowly removed the blue and white hospital gown and stood before the mirror, fully naked.
