Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior - Chapter 152

Meanwhile, Nora looked at Kyra’s back. She felt that Kyra’s face is a little familiar but she didn’t get a chance to have a detailed look.

And, her attention is more focussed on Kyra’s conversation.

Hospital cafeteria.

Surgery.

Documents.

After listening to this conversation, she could tell that this woman is a doctor and her home is not in this community.

The elevator stopped at the basement and Kyra walked to her car which is a new, limited version of ferrari. She would have noticed Nora if she was not in a hurry. She was thinking of something and didn’t notice Nora when she walked into the elevator.

Only when she was about to climb into her car, she realized that there was another person in the elevator, all along. However, by the time she turned to look at the elevator, she could only see the wheelchair and the back of that person.

“Is it Oliver’s sister, Nora?” Kyra asked herself. Just an hour back, Oliver left her place and that means, he only spent an hour with his sister. Not even one hour to be precise. He was on call with her for around ten minutes and that means he left his sister’s company even before he made a call to her.

“Did they have an argument?” Kyra wondered but didn’t think much about it as it is sibling’s business.

“I just hope I am not the reason.” she whispered and got into the car.

When Kyra got into her car and closed the door, Nora wheeled her chair around to look at the person who was in the elevator with her.

“Do I know her?” she wondered for herself. She wanted to see that person as the exit was on her way. But, her car came and stopped in front of her just at the exact moment Kyra’s car crossed her.

Nora’s personal assistant came and opened the door for Nora. Nora’s car is customised for her comfort. She can wheel her chair easily into the car and instead of the seat, she can make her wheelchair stand in its place.

“To Jennifer’s place.” Nora ordered the driver.

Jennifer is her bestest friend and she is someone who she cherishes equally to her brother. As she had an argument with her brother, Jennifer is her next stop.

———

“When did you come!!!” Jennifer squealed in surprise and sprinted towards her friends before hugging her head to her stomach, which is the convenient way.

As Nora knows the passcode of Jennifer’s penthouse, she directly entered and at that moment, Jennifer was making herself a banana smoothie. She just returned from her night shift and was having her breakfast.

When the door beeped open, she assumed that it was her elder brother. But instead of him, her best friend, whom she never expected to see anytime soon, has entered the house.

Nora smiled brightly and hugged her friend Jennifer by her waist.

“I arrived this morning.” She answered her friend’s question.

“I am honoured, my baby. Instead of returning to meet your brother you came to find me. I have to say that I am deeply surprised and impressed.” Jennifer said, giggling.

“I went to meet my brother only! That guy slept in the hospital yesterday night  and only arrived when I phoned him.” Nora complained.

“Slept in hospital?” Jennifer asked as she poured some orange juice for Nora.

“He said so. Why did you ask?” Nora enquired.

“I didn’t know he crashed in the hospital yesterday night. He left the hospital even before I left. I had a night shift and had to stay till midnight.” Jennifer said.

“So, he was not in the hospital last night? Then, why did he lie to me?” Nora asked.

“He was not in the hospital till midnight. Maybe he returned after I left. It is true that he has a lot of workload as there are many surgeries lined up for these four days. Everyone is working overtime on the paperwork and other stuff as we have a field trip planned for three days next week.” Jennifer quickly covered up.

She is sure Oliver didn’t return to hospital last night as she was till the early morning and returned a few hours back.

“He is having a lot of workload?” Nora asked.

“I am not lying, baby. He is a leading surgeon, a head of surgery department and a temporary director. It is very difficult to manage and in addition to that, your absence gave him extra work. He has to attend meetings and go on inspection.” Jennifer said.

Truth to be told, Oliver is not that busy now. It is true that they are having many surgeries lined up and a field trip next week. But Oliver has everything in control. He works fast and effectively and in addition to that, he has two hardworking and diligent fellows to help him in surgeries and other works.

There is no need for him to return after midnight and work. So, Jennifer is sure he didn’t return to the hospital. ‘Where was he, then?’ she wondered.

‘Don’t tell me that he was sleeping at his girlfriend’s place!’ she thought.

“I fired up on him before coming here. I wanted him to spend this weekend with me and he said that he would look into his schedule and decide. I shouldn’t have acted this unreasonably.” Nora said, pursuing her lips. She couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“He will understand, baby. When was he ever upset with you, hmm?” Jennifer comforted her friend but deep inside, her heart was in turmoil.

She overheard Oliver ordering his assistants both from the research institute and their company to clear his schedule for this weekend. He doesn’t have anything lined up for this weekend in the hospital as well.

He could have happily accompanied his sister this weekend. Why did he say that he will look into it?

If it was Oliver from before, he would have said yes in a heartbeat. He would in fact cancel all his work for spending time with his sister. He changed a lot!!

‘Was he having a date planned with his girlfriend. It makes sense. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hesitated now.’ Jennifer came to a conclusion.

‘I thought Oliver was different but it seems like I misinterpreted him. Just like every other man he gives first preference to his girlfriend and romance. Such a shame.’ she thought.

“Why did you return so early? Weren’t you supposed to be helping your ‘good friend’ in London?” Jennifer asked, emphasising on ‘good friend’.

“Aww… someone is jealous,” Nora laughed.

“I am not jealous. It’s good to help our friends, otherwise we will regret it if something happens to them later.” Jennifer said.

Nora of course understood that Jennifer is referring to her once good friend from high school, Alex who died.

“I didn’t want to interfere much but I remembered how you regretted not holding on to your friend for a little longer. I didn’t want to be in the same position.” Nora said. She never met Jennifer’s good friend Alex, not even once. She was having health issues at that time and was hospitalised.

“I am proud of you, my baby.” Jennifer said as she dug into her breakfast.

“The reason I came back is because of some rumor I heard about my brother. I heard that he found himself a girlfriend during my absence. Is it true, Jenny?” Nora asked.

“You can’t say that you don’t know, all right! You are his best friend and you work with him in both hospital and research institute. There is no way he would have gone unnoticed.” she added.

Jennifer gulped.

She knows that Oliver is having a girlfriend who he cares a lot about. However, if she reveals it to her best friend, it wouldn’t take long for Nora to find out where her brother stayed that night and why he is hesitant to devote a weekend to her.

It would break her best friend Nora’s heart.

As a friend, she doesn’t want to see Nora in that state.

“Answer me, Jenny.” Nora insisted when Jennifer didn’t answer.

Jennifer didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, a call saved her.

“It’s my fellow doctor. I have to take this.” saying so, she answered the call.

“Yes, Ria. I will bring it right away.” Jennifer answered. She must thank Ria ( Kyra ) for saving her now.

“No.. no. It’s fine. I am at fault, anyway.” she replied to Kyra before ending the call.

“I am sorry, baby. It seems like I have brought back the wrong files. My partner wants those files back asap as it contains the charts of the patient who will be having a surgery in a few hours.” saying so, Jennifer ran to her room.

Nora pursed her lips.

She silently promised herself that she would never date or marry a doctor.

“I will be returning to the mansion, Jenny. I have to go to work as well.” saying so, Nora left.

———–

After placing the file on Ria (Kyra’s) table, Jennifer stormed towards Oliver’s office room to confront Oliver for his behaviour.

However, as soon as she opened it, the scene in front of her took all her voice away.

‘Ria!’
