Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior - Chapter 169
She went through the report her spy had added and then turned on the video. According to the report, Anthony, who was in a meeting with another law firm, left everything and went to the shopping mall. There he met Jennifer.
The video was added following this brief report.
Quickly connecting her laptop to her earpods, Nora opened the video.
Nora could see that Jennifer was in a boutique by the time Anthony walked. She was with another girl and they seemed to be having an argument with the other two ladies.
“She?” Nora whispered to herself when she noticed that Jennifer’s shopping buddy was none other than the woman she metin elevator of her brother’s penthouse.
‘This world can’t be this small, right? Seeing the same person many times just in a span of a few days?’ Nora thought.
She saw this woman in the hotel the last day and she has been to her brother’s building many times already.
But Nora didn’t find it that suspicious. She has already found out that this woman is a doctor. The best hospital in the city is Serenity Group of Hospitals where her brother and Jennifer are working. Yesterday she witnessed how extraordinary this woman in the video is. So, it is not a surprise that Jennifer and this woman are colleagues who became friends later.
Nora resumed the video and she had to pause the video again when she recognized that people arguing with Jennifer and Jenifer’s friend are Mellisa and Emma.
‘This world is indeed small’ she thought and resumed the video again. It looked like Melissa and Emma were bullying Jennifer. Probably they brought her past again to humiliate her.
Nora clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. One of the reasons she wants her brother to marry Jennifer is because of this. If, he, the one who rejected her in the past is the one who married her, it will be like a tight slap on the face to people like Melissa and Emma.
Continuing to watch, she saw that Anthony marched into the boutique and stopped Emma who was about to manhandle Jennifer. He wrapped his arm around her waist and gave a sharp glare to Emma.
Although Nora couldn’t hear, she could clearly see that Anthony is protecting Jennifer.
‘So, he actually cares.’ Nora thought and smiled. When she found out that Jennifer and Anthony hadn’t contacted each other the whole day, she started growing suspicious. She asked a hired spy to dig a little more on what Anthony was doing and found out that he is busy with meeting a few law firms to buy them.
Now, seeing him protect Jennifer like this, her suspicion started to dissipate.
As the video continued, the spy she hired, who has the hidden camera embedded into his button, moved to the position where Nora could listen and see properly.
After listening to the conversation of Melissa and Jennifer’s friend, a smile made its way to Nora’s lips.
This is so satisfying!
Melissa begging for a chance.
Nora knows how much Melissa envied Jennifer for having a close relationship with the Miller siblings, Oliver and herself.
She is also aware how Melissa and her friends cashed Jennifer’s unrequited love to mock her and bully her.
They used to bring Jennifer’s accident and surgery as well but it once offended Jennifer’s family so much that Melissa and her friends faced consequences.
From that time they stopped bringing it up. Only after finding out that Jennifer loved Oliver and followed him all the way to med school just to get rejected by him, they got a perfect bait to vent their envity on Jennifer.
Seeing how Melissa became humbled in front of this woman, Nora felt very satisfied.
And, the look on Melissa’s face when Anthony claimed to be Jennifer’s boyfriend is even more thrilling and exciting to watch.
Nora has to rewind it again and again to see the expressions on Melissa’s face.
‘Maybe Anthony is the right guy for Jenny. Most importantly they both have feelings for each other unlike my brother who treats Jenny as his sister.’ Nora thought and sighed.
It’s not that easy for her to accept this situation as she has always dreamt to have Jennifer as her sister in law in future.
But the circumstances are forcing her to accept the truth.
Nora sighed once again and looked at Jennifer who was smiling in her sleep.
A smile made its way to Nora’s lips as well.
Jennifer and Oliver are the most important people in her life and she wishes for their happiness.
She hoped that they could share the happiness with each other as a wife and husband but it’s fine. If they are happy and living their life, it’s enough.
Nora knows that she can’t live a long life like her brother and her best friend. Her health conditions are not ideal and if not for her brother’s constant efforts, her quality of life would have deteriorated a lot.
But she is aware that her body would soon get immune to the medication. It is just a matter of time…
And, she has accepted that truth.
‘Jennifer seems to have found her happiness. I can rest in peace if my brother finds his happiness too.’ she thought.
She preferred Jennifer not only because of their friendship but also because of her family.
If she is going to die in the future, her brother would be alone. He might be powerful and rich but he will be alone.
He won’t have someone to lean on when he is exhausted. He won’t have a family to look for if he wants emotional support.
If it’s Jennifer’s family, Nora is sure that her brother will blend well with them. After all, their families have been close with each other and he is familiar with everyone.
They can become his family if she, his sister, has to leave him.
Wiping her tears away, Nora wheeled her hair to the balcony and made a phone call to her brother.

At that time Oliver has just returned after dropping Kyra at her house exactly at ten O clock. Not a minute before or a minute less.
He took a quick bath and sat down to review the progress of the research his research team or doing on their new approach to help Nora.
“Hey, sis.” he greeted cheerfully. He is in a good mood after spending some time with his girlfriend.
Nora could sense his high spirits just by his greeting.
He seems to be in a bright mood today.
“What’s up?” he asked, sensing his sister unusual silence.
“Nothing. Just felt like to listen to your voice before I sleep.” Nora lied.
“Aww! My sister is missing her brother. How about I pick you up so we could spend this night watching your favourite movie?” Oliver asked.
Nora smiled. Her brother must have been truly busy the last week. He is back to normal now. He is not pushing her away.
“I would love to. But Jennifer came drunk and I promised her ‘boyfriend’ to take care of her.” Nora said, emphasising the word ‘boyfriend’.
“Oh. She do have a low alcohol tolerance.” Oliver said and chuckled. So, Anthony must have dropped her and Nora must have met him now.
Nora could sense that Oliver didn’t even hesitate or stop. It is as if he truly didn’t get affected by Jennifer having a boyfriend.
If Oliver had even an ounce of romantic affinity towards Jennifer, he would have paused at least!
It must be true that he treat Jennifer like a sister.
He is not even bothered let alone get jealous to realise his feelings for Jennifer, in case they exist, which seems to be impossible now.
“You knows about her boyfriend?” Nora asked.
“I found out on the same day you did.” Oliver said.
“What are your thoughts on him?” Nora asked her brother.
“He seems to care for her.” Oliver said. Which is true.
Anthony has to realise his feelings and take a step forward. That’s it!
“True. So, are you happy for her?” Nora asked.
“If she finds her true Mr. Right, how can I not be happy for her?” Oliver said.
“Don’t you feel sad or empty in the heart? The feeling that something important is leaving your side?” Nora asked.
It is often that people realise their true feelings only when they are about to get seperated from each other.
“Nope. It is not like she is going away. We will get to meet her like we always do. In fact, I am feeling happy for her.” Oliver said.
Nora wanted to check if that is the condition here. All again, she got dissapointed that it’s not the case.
Nora sighed.
It looks like this is the high time. She have to give up on her hopeless dream.
“Bro… you need to find our own happiness too.” Nora said with teary eyes and ended the call.
Tears streamed down her cheek.
