Chapter 1334 - This Was Not an Accident


Chapter 1334: This Was Not an Accident Wen Xinya subconsciously looked at her feet, only to see that her ankle was really swollen, though the swelling was not too obvious. However, the pain began to spread to her legs, causing her face to turn pale.
It was extremely excruciating!
Noticing the change in her expression, Si Yiyan’s heart sank and he even held his breath.
Is the pain unbearable? It seems to be rather severe.

Si Yiyan stared at her sprained ankle which had become extremely red and swollen.
Usually, Si Yiyan would collect all of the strands of hair that had fallen out of her head and send them for a lab test so as to find out the reason for her hair to fall. He wanted to know if it had been yanked out or because of imbalanced nutrition. Si Yiyan was extremely saddened by the fact that she had sprained her ankle.

It hurts a little, but I can bear with it. Don’t worry,
said Wen Xinya. Although she wanted to tell him that it didn’t hurt, she could not bring herself to lie. Soon, sweat droplets began to form on her forehead.
Si Yiyan said in a hoarse voice,
Bear with it, we’ll be at the hospital soon.

Si Yiyan had just calmed himself down from the chandelier incident. Yet… he began to feel worried again as he could not stop thinking about her swollen ankle.
Within just a short period of time, her ankle had already become extremely swollen.
He knew better than anyone else how slender and fragile her ankle bones were. He would be extremely careful with holding her ankles while she quivered beneath him whenever they got intimate.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Si Yiyan had already arranged for the best orthopedist to wait for their arrival.
Si Yiyan carried Wen Xinya to the treatment room.
After examining Wen Xinya’s wound, the doctor put her through an X-ray scan. At last, he concluded.
Fortunately, her ligaments are all intact, but there are some minor tears due to the sprain. Hence, the area around the tears is going to hurt more.

Si Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief. He was thankful to hear that it was just a slight sprain, though he was extremely worried because he saw the paleness of her face and the sweat that had broken out on her forehead because of the fact that she had been holding her pain back.
Wen Xinya comforted him.
I’m alright. The pain will subside after some emergency treatment.

Due to the fact that it was only a minor sprain, there was no need for her to undergo any elaborate medical treatment. The doctor suggested that she go through physiotherapy and hence, Si Yiyan had no objections.
After preparing the ice cubes, the nurse helped Wen Xinya ice her sprained ankle so as to reduce the blood flow to her ankle and prevent swelling. Icing would also reduce the chances of bruising and help the pain subside.

Let me do it!
Si Yiyan said before grabbing the ice cubes that were wrapped in a handkerchief.
The doctor did not oppose and instead said,
Ice her ankle for 15 to 20 minutes, once every three to four hours. 24 hours from now, apply some heat to her ankle according to the instructions I gave you for the icing. 48 hours after that, you may choose to apply ice or heat to her ankle. Soak her ankle in warm water for five minutes followed by iced water for a minute. In another 24 hours, you may begin massaging her ankle to help improve blood circulation with varying pressure. Remember to apply some ointment within 48 hours.

Si Yiyan noted down all of the doctor’s instructions and placed Wen Xinya’s leg on his lap before icing it carefully.
As soon as the ice came into contact with her skin, Wen Xinya shivered and retracted her leg. It took her a while to get used to it.
About three to four minutes later, the coldness of the ice cubes caused her skin to go numb and the pain seemed to subside. Wen Xinya finally looked less pale than before.
Si Yiyan looked at her and realized that she looked a little more radiant. He asked softly,
Does your ankle still hurt?

Wen Xinya answered,
It’s much better now.

Although the swelling had yet to subside, it was no longer as swollen or painful as before. However, the numbness made Wen Xinya feel a little uncomfortable.
Noticing that she looked a little sickly, Si Yiyan quickly changed the subject to draw her attention away.
Xinya, what happened this time was not an accident.

Si Yiyan’s voice was deep and melodious. His confidence was rather daunting.
Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya asked with an austere expression,
You mean…

Her breathing began to get a little erratic. She was the only one who knew how dangerous of a situation she was in just now. If it wasn’t an accident, the culprit was definitely out to kill her!
Wen Xinya believed Si Yiyan, but she still found it to be rather incredible. She didn’t suspect that it might have been a deliberate set up because she thought that no one would have dared to commit such a brazen crime in plain sight. Reason being, all of the guests were prestigious and figures of status and wealth. Hence, she felt that it would be impossible.
Si Yiyan knew how shocked Wen Xinya was feeling. He nodded and said,
According to my observation, the timing and position that the chandelier fell from was way too precise. It would be almost impossible for anyone to escape from a chandelier that had fallen from the ceiling. The culprit was obviously bent to take your life.

If it were someone else who stood beneath the chandelier, or if Wen Xinya’s reflexes were a little slower, the consequences would have been dire.
Hence…
He was still rather worried even though the ordeal was over and Wen Xinya managed to escape unscathed.
Due to the fact that he had been alarmed by this incident, he realized that he was not protecting Wen Xinya enough. Not only did the culprit manage to take action first, they even managed to create an opportunity for themselves to harm her.
Wen Xinya asked with a sullen expression,
Could it be the Korean-Chinese Alliance?

In this world, Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya were undoubtedly the ones who hated her the most and the two of them definitely had a motive to kill her. However, she felt that it couldn’t have been Xia Ruya because Xia Ruya was extremely intelligent and knew better than to commit a crime in plain sight, even if she knew that she might be able to shirk the responsibility.
Ning Shuqian was the only possibility left.
Ning Shuqian actually had the audacity to lay such a trap during a prestigious event. In fact, she wasn’t in the least bit afraid of the consequences because she knew that she had the Korean-Chinese Alliance to support her.
After all, Wen Xinya knew that Ning Shuqian did not have the ability to devise such a scheme all by herself.
