Xia Ruya watched as Wen Xinya strutted away smugly in her six-inch stilettos, overwhelmed with resentment. She did not expect to be treated that way by Wen Xinya.

The strong feelings of hatred wakened her senses and she suddenly realized that she was still in the freezing cold water. The chilliness seemed to have penetrated through her bones and caused her to s.h.i.+ver from head to toe. She placed her hands and legs against the marble block in a bid to crawl up.

Her fingers stiffened and, due to how slippery the marble slab was, she could not climb out of the lake even after several attempts.

Xia Ruya felt as if her blood was going to freeze.

Soon, one of the servants saved her from the lake.

“Ah, it’s so cold! It’s freezing!” Xia Ruya exclaimed, the biting cold causing her to s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.

The servant helped Xia Ruya into the room. After a hot water bath, she finally felt much warmer. However, the fear within her made her feel cold.

Despite being on full blast, the heater did not help at all.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she sneezed uncontrollably. Xia Ruya hurriedly climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

“Ah-choo…” Xia Ruya sneezed again and again while a sudden warmth filled her nose. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of tissue paper and wiped the mucus away. Her nose soon began to feel blocked.

At this moment, Old Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Wen entered the room together.

“Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen!” Xia Ruya exclaimed, lifting the duvet in a bid to sit up.

Old Mrs. Wen darted towards the bed and pressed her shoulders down. While adjusting the blanket, she said, “Hurry and lie down. Don’t come up.”

Old Mr. Wen chimed in. “Just lie down! Your health is of the utmost importance.”

“Ah-choo…” Xia Ruya again sneezed, causing a burning sensation in her nose. She teared up and leaned against the bed.

Noticing how pale her face was and how red her nose was, Old Mrs. Wen said, “I’ve already gotten the servants to prepare some ginger soup. Have some later to warm yourself up. I’ve also called the family doctor. He’s going to be here anytime soon.”

Xia Ruya felt an unbearable itchiness in her nose. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of tissue and wiped her mucus away. “Grandma, I’m alright, I just caught a cold. I’ll be fine after taking some ginger soup and sweating it out under the duvet.”

Old Mrs. Wen frowned and said, “You’ve always been frail and weak ever since you were young. Whenever the weather changes, you tend to get fevers and dizzy spells. We’d better let the family doctor see you.”

Xia Ruya frantically said, “Grandma, my health has improved a lot in the past two years and I’m no longer as weak as before.”

The two years that she had spent in Yun Chuan had changed her body condition.

Old Mr. Wen frowned and said with a sullen expression, “Colds can be serious. Your Grandma is right. You’d better let the doctor treat your condition.”

Just as Xia Ruya was about to speak, she felt a sudden itchiness in her nose and sneezed consecutively for a few times. She hurriedly grabbed some tissue paper and wiped her flowing mucus away.

Old Mrs. Wen said tearfully, “Poor child, how did you end up in the lake?”
