Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior - Chapter 175

As usual, Kyra and Jennifer decided to share the room. Like this, Oliver doesn’t have to worry about Kyra.

“This place didn’t change much.” Kyra said as she looked around. This is a three storey building which has almost forty rooms. This town gets a fair amount of tourists every spring because of the mountain view and peaceful weather.

“It’s the same ten years back?” Jennifer asked.

“Almost. They renovated and have changed the interior designs. But the structure, the rooms are the same.” Kyra said as she traced her hand on the wall.

“Any good memories here?” Jennifer asked.

“When I was a child and my paternal grandparents were alive, I did have a few sweet memories here. Only after they died, my life became miserable.” Kyra said.

Jennifer didn’t probe much as they took the elevator with a few others to the third floor where their rooms are alloted.

Oliver’s room is ‘coincidentally’ the next one. He asked Justin to give him a room facing the mountain side and this room is the one with the best view.

“At Least the view is nice.” Jennifer said, opening the curtains of the glass door.

“Third floor has good scenery.” Kyra said as she followed Jennifer into the balcony.

Oliver was already standing on the balcony and when he saw the girls he smiled.

“How’s the room?” he asked.

“It’s good.” Jennifer answered.

“We have to leave in an hour to the hospital. Get some rest.” he told Jennifer and then looked at Kyra who was looking outside. Her eyes fixated on the mountain.

“Ky.” he called and the first time, Kyra didn’t respond. She only reacted after a couple of efforts.

“Come to my room,” he said.

“But -” Kyra was about to say something but Oliver interjected.

“It’s fine. No one will come to know.” he said.

Kyra contemplated for a few seconds and nodded her head.

“I will take an hour nap then. Wake me up after you come back.” Jennifer said to Kyra, indicating that she is fine with getting left alone.

Oliver would be able to lift Kyra’s mood when compared to her.

Kyra nodded her head and gave a weak smile and left for Oliver’s room which is next door.

As soon as he opened the door, he hugged Kyra and gave a kiss on her forehead.

That’s it. The wall Kyra has built around her heart crumbled and the tears streamed out of her eyes.

When Oliver sensed the dampness on his chest, he knew Kyra was crying. He didn’t attempt to give her a worldly comfort as he is aware that it won’t work in this situation. He just hugged her close to his heart and continued brushing her hair with his fingers.

Only God knows how long has passed when Kyra detached herself from Oliver and looked at his face.

“I am such a nuisance, no? I always make you and Jennifer worry about me. I should be strong like you.” Kyra said, pouting.

Olier shook his head horizontally and placed another kiss on Kyra’s forehead.

“You worry us but you are not a nuisance. We are more than willing to face this with you. All we want is to see you happy.” Oliver said.

“Thank you.” Kyra said and tiptoed to give Oliver a kiss on his lips.

Oliver smiled and kissed her deeply. He led her to the sofa and then they cuddled and continued their fervent business.

Meanwhile…

Jennifer took a hot shower and came out wearing a bathrobe. She was about to go to sleep when her phone started to ring.

Towel drying her hair, Jennifer walked to her phone and when she noticed that the caller is none other than her boyfriend, a smile made its way to her lips.

She immediately answered the video call and it seems like he just took a bath. Even though he was in his bathrobe.

“Had a shower just now?” he asked as he looked at Jennifer whose hair is damp and letting the droplets fall on her slightly flushed face.

“Hmm. I just took a bath.” Jennifer said as her eyes trailed to his hard chest.

Anthony chuckled seeing his girlfriend distracted.

“Missing me?” he asked to which Jennifer nodded her head out of reflex.

When she realized that she let her heart take over, she quickly covered it by saying. “Me? No… not at all. I am too busy to think of you.”

“Really?” Anthony asked.

When Jennifer nodded her head, he smirked.

“So unfortunate. It’s a shame that my girlfriend doesn’t miss me. I was about to go to meet her this weekend.” he said.

“You are coming here??” Jennifer asked, excited. She almost jumped in happiness.

“Nope. She doesn’t miss me anymore.” he replied.

“What if she doesn’t miss you? You miss her, right? If you do, you can go to meet her.” Jennifer said.

Anthony chuckled and nodded his head as he looked into Jennifer’s eyes lovingly.

“Oh! No!” Jennifer exclaimed, suddenly realizing something.

“What happened now?” he asked, curious.

“This weekend, I won’t be available.” Jennifer said.

“Then, I will simply spend time with my sister.” Anthony said, trying to provoke his girlfriend into spending time with him.

“That’s not possible either. We didn’t tell you but we are working this weekend too. We came for the field trip, remember? It lasts till Sunday evening and we would be returning only on Monday morning.” Jennifer said.

“Right… right. I forgot that you guys are out of town. But how can your hospital make you work on weekends too? Anthony said.

“We will be compensated later for our hard work. Our hospital is no less than the Collins Hospital, okay?” Jennifer said.

Anthony sighed.

“Tell me where you guys are now. I will try to postpone but if I can’t I will at least come and see my sister and girlfriend from afar and go back.” he said.

When Jennifer remembered that they are in Kyra’s hometown now, she hesitated to tell Anthony. She didn’t ask Kyra if she could tell her brother about their trip to her hometown where her trauma started for the first time.

“What happened?” Anthony asked.

“‘No..nothing. We… we are in Ash Ville.” Jennifer at last blurted out the truth. As she didn’t know what to say, she could only say the truth.

“Ash Ville???” Anthony exclaimed. This is the first time he looked this surprised and taken aback.

“Yeah. We didn’t know till we came.” Jennifer said.

Seeing his expressions change, Jennifer knew that he was infuriated.

“Kyra was -” before she could say anything Anthony interfered.

“I will call you in a few minutes, Jen.” he said and cut the call. As soon as he ended the call, he called Oliver.

——–

When Oliver’s phone started to vibrate, Kyra was taking a nap. Oliver just finished persuading Kyra to take a nap as they are left with around half an hour more.

He is scrolling his phone and was quite surprised to see that his soon to be brother in law is calling him.

Answering the call, Oliver waited for Anthony to speak.

“I heard my sister is AshVille. Do you know what that place could do to her?” Anthony came straight to the point.

Oliver looked at Kyra and then walked into the balcony.

“We found out only after we came. By the time I wanted to change the plan, we were already here and Kyra said that she didn’t want to escape.” Oliver explained.

“She is stubborn. Don’t let her stay there for long. It would be okay even if she has to be cut from this program but don’t let her stay in that town. There is more to the story you know.” Anthony said.

Oliver has to agree that he was surprised by Anthony’s firm stand on this topic.

And, there is more to the story he knows???

‘There is something I should know?” Oliver asked.

“I know that you have good intentions in letting Kyra stay. I know that you want her to face the trauma rather than letting her escape.” Anthony said, not wanting Oliver to misunderstand his hesitancy as lack of trust in him.

“But, I don’t want her past to trigger something that ended long back.” Anthony said.

“Ended long back?” Oliver asked, now curious and confused.

All he knows is that Kyra committed suicides two times here and had some bad memeories.

“When Kyra committed sucide for the first time, she jumped into the river in the mountain there. It was a near death experience to her before she got saved by some tourists there. But after she got out of her coma, she started having very horrible and meaningless dreams that people thought she started to go mad.”

“It is good that she forgot what kind of dreams they were. But, according to the doctors who treated her that time, they used to make her cry and talk gibberish in sleep. They don’t know how but all of a sudden they ceased.”

“They warned us to be careful so that she won’t get triggered again..” Anthony aid.
