Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior - Chapter 135
“Ky, I have something to say to you. It happened yesterday.” Sophia said as they were about to finish dinner. She hasn’t told Kyra about Jennifer and how they were good friends eight years ago.
They have pulled out some threads and enquired about Jennifer’s intentions toward Kyra. It looked like she really cared about Kyra and was genuinely worried about her.
“What is it, Sofi?” Kyra asked as she ate.
“You remember Florence?” Sophia asked.
Kyra stopped her moments and raised her head to look at Sophia. How can she forget Florence?
Florence is her first true friend. If only she would have given some thought to Florence’s warnings, her past wouldn’t have been that horrible.
Meanwhile, when Oliver heard that name he looked at Sophia and then turned to look at Kyra.
Florence is Jennifer’s former name. She changed her name after her accident and face surgery.
“Why are you asking it now?” Kyra asked. When she came back to this city, she gave a serious thought of finding Florence and apologized to her but she couldn’t muster up her courage to do so.
Besides that Florence might be in touch with Robert’s family, the family of her step mother. So, there are chances of risk.
“Me and Sophia have accidentally come across her during the party. She was having an argument with your step sister, Melissa.” Lisa said.
“We are sure because they were arguing about you. Florence seems to have not forgotten you, Ky.” Sophia said.
Kyra’s hand trembled slightly after hearing her friend’s words.
So, Florence is still the same. Protective, genuine friend.
“How is she? Is she living well?” Kyra asked. She is aware that her friends are telling her this details only after looking into Florence’s background.
“She is living well. In fact, you have met her.” Sophia said.
“What?” Kyra exclaimed in surprise. How could she have Florence?
There is no chance she wouldn’t have recognized Florence.
Florence might have not recognized her as she has changed a lot and is also disguising herself a little.
Oliver didn’t butt in. He has already realized they are talking about Jennifer. And, by Kyra’s expression, he could tell that she needs some time before finding the truth. So, he have left everything to Sophia and Lisa.
“I have not met her.” Kyra said.
“Jennifer.” Sophia said.
“What about Jennifer?” Kyra asked. Why is Sophia talking about Jennifer all of a sudden.
“Jennifer is Florence,” Sophia said.
“That’s not possible. I agree that there is a slight resemblance but how can Jennifer be Florence?” Kyra asked.
“Florence had an accident after you left. It ruined her face, so she had surgery.” this time Oliver spoke.
“This is something Flo- Jennifer doesn’t like to talk about. That accident followed by surgery disturbed her mind. She used to cry saying that she doesn’t feel like herself and doesn’t want to meet others. She didn’t want people from her pre-surgery to see her.”
“That left no other option to her family. They could only change her name and hide her surgery and accidents. They removed all the photos and ID proofs of Florence and replaced them with her new life with the name Jennifer.”
“Fortunately, she got into the same med school as me which is far from here. And, as soon as she finished her graduation she went abroad. She returned just at the same time as you have returned.” Oliver told the story of Florence who is now Jennifer.
Kyra didn’t respond for a long time. This information is too much to digest and she felt sad for what her friend went through. They both had rough lives and no wonder Oliver was always cautious towards Jennifer as well.
As he knows that his best friend went through so much, he didn’t want her to suffer any more than this.
“Jennifer is Florence, my high school friend.” Kyra whispered to herself.
“At least she is leading a good life now. And, she looks happy as well. Thank God, her accident and surgery didn’t traumatize her.” Kyra said standing up.
“That’s it?” Sophia asked.
“Hmm.”, Kyra hummed in response and she was about to go inside but Lisa stopped her.
“Don’t you want to meet your true friend? That girl still visits the graveyard on your birthday. Poor thing still thinks that you were buried there.” she said.
“I don’t want to remind her of her past. Didn’t Oliver say that she didn’t want to meet any friends from her pre-surgery time?” Kyra said.
Besides this, she is ashamed to meet Florence (Jennifer) and ask for her forgiveness.
“Ky, were you using the name Alexandria during your high school?” Oliver asked.
He knows that Kyra’s midname is Alexandria as she introduced herself with that name three years ago when they met at the twin’s birthday in London.
“Yes. Didn’t I say that my grandmother named me Alexandria. I used the same name even in high school and changed it to Kyra only after my traumatic experience. I didn’t want to be reminded of my past.” Kyra answered Oliver.
“Coincidence. You thought just the way Florence thought. No wonder you both were best friends. Have I ever told you that Jennifer and my sister are best friends? My sister Nora used to get jealous when Florence used to talk continuously about you. That was the first time I saw my little sister Nora getting jealous.”, Oliver said.
“So, Florence used to talk about me? Has she ever spoken about me to you” Kyra asked.
“Yeah. I didn’t get to listen much as I was in med school, busy and far from home. She used to talk about her best friend on the phone sometimes. One time she even said that she suspected your mother and step family’s intentions towards you but just like you, I didn’t give much thought to it. I didn’t bother to think about that possibility.” Oliver said.
“Of course. Which mother would harm her own daughter. I used to think that Florence is being paranoid. Only if I would have listened to her…” Kyra trailed off and pursed her lips.
“It’s fine, Ky. Past is past. Do you know how happy I am now?” Oliver asked.
“Why?” Kyra asked.
“I used to envy your brother Ryan when it comes to this. Now, I don’t have to. At least not as much as before. Oliver said.
“I used to envy him because the three most important ladies in his life are best friends,” he added.
The girl; he loves (Sophia), his only sister (Kyra) and his best friend (Lisa) are in a harmonious relationship
Yes, Lisa is his best friend. He was the one who brought Lisa to London after her modeling career crashed. He did one endorsement in which Lisa was his fellow actor and they bonded up at that time. So, when he found that his friend Lisa had fallen out with her family and had reached the bottom of her career, he brought her with him to London and gave her sanctuary.
And, it made Sophia jealous at that time. She even considered Lisa as her love rival but that didn’t last long when Lisa assured her that she is ot interested in Ryan at all. After that they became good friends and now, they are best friends who could never fall out.
“You are happy because I and Fl- Jeniffer will get along with each other?” Kyra asked.
Oliver nodded his head.
Lisa and Sophia have gone back inside as Oliver was handling the matter much smoother than them. Besides that they are yet to bathe as they have not taken it when they returned.
“But I am not sure that Jennifer will be as warm as you are guessing. I have said many bad things to her before we graduated from high school. I have severed my friendship with Oliver. I have chased away the person who genuinely cared for me for those fake people.” Kyra said as she bent her head down, ashamed.
“Jennifer doesn’t hold grudges, Kyra. I think she understood why you have chosen to believe them over her. I think she has forgiven her long back and would be very happy to know that you are alive and you are doing well.” Oliver said.
“We were partners in labs, project works and group studies. She would be very happy to know that it didn’t change even after all these years. But, I am scared how she would react after finding out that I am her friend Alex. What if she doesn’t accept me?” Kyra asked, worry ec]vident in her eyes.
She is sensitive when it comes to family and relationships.
“You are worrying too much, Ky. She would be very happy to see you and it’s really destiny that you guys met again as colleagues. Same hospital, same specialization and same team.”, Oliver said. This is really destiny.
“It looks like we are destined to meet. Florence (Jennifer) was the one who knows that I am preparing to write entrance exams for med schools. As she was doing the same back then, she helped me a lot to prepare secretly.” Kyra reminisced about those days.
She badly want to meet her friend now but she is scared.
