Chapter 1454: The Last Struggle Before Death

Xia Ruya laid in bed and kept her eyes fixed on the ceiling above as her pupils almost cracked. The resentment and hysteria in her eyes made her look absolutely daunting.

Ning Shuqian’s heart palpitated rapidly and she was completely speechless. She felt as if there were worms crawling down her spine and making her get the chills. She wanted to leave… only to realize that she seemed to have been rooted to the ground and unable to move at all.

It was terrifying, truly terrifying!

Her resentment knew no bounds.

If Xia Ruya were to die, she would definitely become an unavenged ghost.

At this moment, Xia Ruya seemed to be struggling during her last moments before death.

Before Ning Shuqian could even look for the doctor, the doors of the intensive care unit were flung open and a few doctors and nurses suddenly rushed into the ward, their messy footsteps creating a ruckus.

It was as if their messy footsteps were set on her heart and she finally sobered up. “Doctor… hurry and save her, hurry and save her…”

Ning Shuqian’s body was pushed away by the doctors and nurses who were squeezed to the bed, after which she staggered forwards and almost fell onto the ground.

The terrifying way that Xia Ruya was behaving still made her feel extremely horrified.

Ning Shuqian was pushed out of the intensive care unit and by the time she sobered up, she realized that she was standing alone in the corridor.

Although the temperature of the air conditioner in the hospital was clearly just right, the cold, hard white walls made her feel chilly as she began to shiver uncontrollably.

Xia Ruya’s horrible plight was deeply etched in her heart, making her feel absolutely horrified and intimidated.

“It’ll be alright, it’ll definitely be alright!” Ning Shuqian murmured incessantly.

It had already been five whole days since Xia Ruya got into a car accident and she knew that Wen Xinya would definitely not let her off. Hence, she had been living in fear and anxiety for the past five days, for fear that she would one day be in Xia Ruya’s shoes.

Five days passed and Wen Xinya had yet to take action on her. She had also hired someone to keep close tabs on Wen Xinya’s every move, only to discover that Wen Xinya had resumed her normal routine, as if she had completely forgotten about Ning Shuqian.

The more nonchalantly Wen Xinya behaved, the more terrified and flustered Ning Shuqian was. It was as if there was something that was absolutely terrifying and simmering in a way that was unknown to her.

The insecurity and uncertainty that she had about her life almost drove her crazy.

At this moment, a nurse hurriedly scurried towards her and asked, “Madam Ning, there’s a Mr. Wen outside who’s asking to see Miss Xia. Can we let him in?”

The entire private hospital was on lockdown and only Ning Shuqian was permitted entry. However, Wen Haowen was Ning Shuqian’s husband and had also been Xia Ruya’s father for twelve years. The nurse dared not stop him from entering and hence, had no choice but to ask for Ning Shuqian’s opinion.

Ning Shuqian suddenly sobered up and she soon realized that the nurse was probably referring to Wen Haowen. She frowned slightly and said, “Miss Xia has just come to and her emotions are still very unstable. The doctor is doing a checkup on her, so just brush him off by telling him it’s not convenient!”

Although Xia Ruya was not suited to meet outsiders at this point, she would definitely not agree to meeting Wen Haowen even if she came to. Xia Ruya’s injuries were severe and no one should hear of it. In the future, Xia Ruya would definitely go for cosmetic surgery to restore her initial appearance. If the news of Xia Ruya’s injuries were to leak, it would mean that the whole world would find out. Hence, how was Xia Ruya supposed to continue roaming around the upper-class society?

Seemingly having thought of something, Ning Shuqian added, “Don’t let them know that I’m staying in the hospital.”

What’s wrong with Wen Haowen? Why did he suddenly decide to come and visit Ruya!?!

She refused to believe that Wen Haowen still treated Xia Ruya as his daughter, for he was a heartless man who was cruel enough to harm his own flesh and blood. How could he possibly be kind to someone else’s daughter?

Ning Shuqian stood by the door of the intensive care unit and waited for the results of the checkup.

About half an hour later, a few doctors and nurses left the ward.

Ning Shuqian frantically asked, “Doctor, how is the patient?”

“She has just come to her senses and has received a massive emotional and mental blow. She’s in critical condition and it’s fortunate that you discovered it early. We’ve already carried out emergency rescue measures just now and her life is stable for now.”

Patients who had been through severe blows would usually try to recall what they had been through after regaining consciousness. They would often be overwhelmed with fear, horror, shock, terror and many other emotions that would cause the patient to be greatly agitated. It was extremely dangerous as well.

Ning Shuqian reckoned that Xia Ruya got agitated because of her words of concern. Her heart turned chilly and she asked, “When will the patient’s life be finally out of danger?”

Ning Shuqian was feeling extremely uncertain. The doctor had emphasized previously that Xia Ruya could not take any agitation. Ning Shuqian wondered, Ruya was so agitated just now. Her condition is not going to worsen, is it?

The thought of it made her feel inexplicably guilty.

“We can’t be sure of when the patient’s life can be out of danger yet, but her exact condition will only become clear after some further observation.”

Xia Ruya had been hospitalized for five days and the condition of her burns and recovery was unclear. The exact condition of her body was unknown too.

Ning Shuqian was extremely annoyed to hear the vague and uncertain answer. “Doctor, the patient woke up for a brief moment just now and even spoke to me. She seemed to be in a good state but afterward…”

Ning Shuqian paused in her speech, appearing a little unnatural. She dared not say that she was the one who had agitated Xia Ruya.

The doctor explained, “Although the patient regained her consciousness for a brief moment, her condition is not optimistic for now because she has lost control of her emotions.”

Ning Shuqian said in frustration as her face grew petulant, “Whatever it is, I hope you can do your best to save her.”

Xia Ruya was still of some use to her and that person. Hence, Xia Ruya couldn’t die yet. However, her condition was rather severe and the doctors could only do their best to treat her.
