Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1498 - You're the One Who Made Me into a Demon

Chapter 1498: You’re the One Who Made Me into a Demon

The room was a complete mess. Broken shards of the mirror were strewn all over the floor. Some were even streaked with dried bloodstains. The dark-red blood looked especially stark against the clear gla.s.s.

Three days had pa.s.sed since Xia Ruya saw how she looked like after the car crash.

She had a complete breakdown from the shock of it.

For three whole days, Xia Ruya locked herself in the room, refusing all food and drink, and not allowing anyone to enter. Even the sound of footsteps pa.s.sing by the door would send pangs of fear coursing through Xia Ruya. She would shriek and cover her own face, before ducking into the bathroom to hide.

She was afraid of seeing her own ugly face.

She was even more afraid of others seeing her in this state!

She squatted in the darkest corner, hugging her own knees tightly and burying her face deep within her arms. This was the instinctive self-protective posture of someone existing in the most extreme depths of fear, unease, and anguish. With this defensive stance, she could reject all who tried to come near her. It showed the deep sense of insecurity she held toward the rest of the world, as well as how she had already given up all hope on herself.

Yes, she had given up on all hope on herself!

This utter sense of despair had her desperate to just destroy herself.

So, every time her gaze landed on the shards of broken gla.s.s on the floor, a bloodthirsty and crazed notion would flash across her mind. More than once, she had picked up a sharp fragment with trembling hands and pointed the edge at her own neck. She wanted to slash that large jugular vein there, just to see just how beautiful and alluring that gus.h.i.+ng blood would look.

She had once thought about using that sharp gla.s.s to slash her own wrist, imagining how the fresh blood would spurt out the moment her skin broke. How all that flowing blood would make for a wondrously lovely sight.

But she didn’t dare…

When the sharp edge broke into the thin, tender skin on her wrist, when those lovely drops of blood seeped through the wound, the startling pain and stark red color made her tremble all over with fear!

At that point, she admitted that she was scared of death.

And because of this fear of dying, she chose to drag out this miserable existence of hers.

She hated her own cowardice and so turned to self-harm.

Xia Ruya picked up a bloodstained mirror fragment with quaking, bony fingers. She suddenly slashed it against the burnt yellow skin on her arm, from which bright red blood spurted out. There was a sharp pain but also a quick thrill that had her completely absorbed.

Following that, Xia Ruya slowly lowered her head and sucked on the blood flowing out of the wound.

As the blood seeped into her mouth, that cloying, sickly sweet taste was utterly intoxicating.

She finally raised her head when the blood from the wound stopped flowing. The stark contrast between beauty and ugliness displayed on her face. Those pale, cracked lips stained with dark, red blood. She looked both strange and hideous, bloodthirsty and terrifying.

“Knock knock knock knock…” Someone was rapping on the door. The sound of knuckles on the wooden door was grave and heavy. It felt like it was pounding against Xia Ruya’s own closed-off heart. It was as if with just a bit more strength, that ugly, rotten heart of hers would be breached to expose all the truth hidden inside.

She was terrified of this feeling. Very fearful and very discomfited!

“Miss Xia, you have not eaten anything for three days. You can’t go on like this.” A youthful female voice sounded from the other side of the door. That voice was full of warmth and gentleness, vastly different from that frosty nurse.

But no matter how warm and gentle a voice was, it couldn’t soothe Xia Ruya’s closed-off heart. She feared all voices that existed outside of her own inner sanctum.

“Get… get lost…” Xia Ruya’s hollered. She s.n.a.t.c.hed up a broken mirror piece and flung it viciously against the door. The shard smashed against the thick door and instantly shattered further, sending fragments flying all over. The resulting debris sent a thrilling shudder down Xia Ruya’s spine.

“Miss Xia, you…” The commotion from the ward had stunned the person outside. Her voice trembled with fear.

“Get lost, get lost, get lost…” Xia Ruya was getting out of control. Her savage shouting carried with it desperate insanity.

In the end, all was calm again in the ward.

It was a calm that brought a sliver of comfort and security to Xia Ruya.

But Xia Ruya was very weak after not eating or drinking anything for three days. After that outburst, she suddenly felt drained and dizzy. Her body went limp and she collapsed on the floor, gasping faintly.

Within seconds, Xia Ruya was drenched in cold sweat. She started s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably.

“Hahahaha…” She suddenly started laughing maniacally. That bizarre and hideous contrast between beauty and monstrosity on her face made her look like an evil demon. An evil demon mired in the throes of grotesque insanity. She had already lost all rationality.

“Wen Xinya, you are vicious, you are truly vicious…” Xia Ruya shrieked out hoa.r.s.ely. Her strident voice was filled with a mad hatred. Those round, glaring eyes shone with a bloodthirsty craze.

At that point, Xia Ruya’s hatred towards Wen Xinya, for her disfigurement from the car accident, turned even more diabolically twisted.

Xia Ruya suddenly clambered up from the floor. As she had not eaten in three days, her body was extremely weak. That simple movement took up all her strength.

Xia Ruya suddenly wailed out. “Wen Xinya, you are the one who turned me unto a real demon!”

With that, Xia Ruya ran her tongue lightly over the blood on her lips. That fiendish action performed by her looked even more terrifying than what one saw on horror films.

Thereafter, Xia Ruya found her mobile phone and called Mr. Z.

The call was quickly picked up. Mr. Z’s voice was dark and menacing. “Xia Ruya, have you thought it through?”

He knew all about how Xia Ruya had locked herself in the ward and resorted to self-harm. Nevertheless, he didn’t stop her. Xia Ruya was still of use to him, but if she couldn’t accept her disfigurement from the car accident, then he would be better off getting rid of her now.

Of course, only by having Xia Ruya descend into such a crazed state of intense hatred could she become even more vicious, even more venomous, even more cruel. This was the type of person who would be of better use to him.

Xia Ruya’s hoa.r.s.e voice was full of a chilly bitterness. “I have thought it through. I will undergo the plastic surgery.”
