Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Kyra and Jennifer reached the hospital premises and they right away identified dozens of buses waiting in the west parking lot of the hospital. 

The whole surgery department is going on this four day event but to different locations. 

Kyra parked her car in her designated parking space and alighted the car with Jennifer. She looked a little bothered because she is not wearing her disguise anymore. 

Her hair is not in a tight bun anymore. Her slightly wavy blonde hair reached her waist, bouncing it's silky waves at the bottom. 

She no longer used her spectacles to conceal her beautiful eyes. Her hazel eyes shone as she walked into sunlight, making her golden flecks more attractive and magnetic. 

She, who always wears formal, slightly baggy clothes, is wearing blue skinny jeans, a white turtle top and a gray trench coat. Her toned body and the hourglass figure is obvious now. 

As it's going to be cold in mountain regions, Oliver insisted on wearing as many as possible layers of clothes. He didn't leave Kyra or Jennifer till they were adequately prepared to face cold. 

"Kyra," Jennifer called when Kyra stood at her door, not bothering to close it. 

"Yeah." Kyra responded and when Jennifer signaled her to open the car trunk. Kyra quickly apologized with her eyes and opened the trunk so that they could take their luggage out. 

"Are you not used to the attention?" Jennifer asked. Kyra was a little bubbly but she was attractive when they were in high school. Her beautiful features did receive attention but because of her introverted, low self esteem nature at that time, it didn't last long. 

But Jennifer is aware that Kyra was famous during her last years of med school and that continued even when she was working in Collins Hospitals. One of the reasons she came here is because of that. 

She didn't like getting constant attention and after her family background as Collins got revealed, it went to the other level, making it intolerable. That is why she hid her family background and disguised herself just enough to mix in the crowd. 

But now, it didn't bother her as much as it used to do a few months back. Perhaps, it has something to do with her changing preferences. 

Oliver, his love for her and the recently changing circumstances have started making her feel more free and less obliged to her past. 

"I was used to attention. However, It's been a bad experience." Kyra told her friend.

How can she forget that a lunatic was after her and her brother's had to reveal her background to keep him in check? But their plan backfired later when many started to give her special attention which she hated. 

"I know. Anthony told me about it when I told him yesterday that you will no longer follow your ridiculous rules." Jennifer said. From the start she didn't like how Kyra overdid her low keyness. She believes that Kyra's good looks are to give confidence to her, not the other way. 

"You and my brother seem to be getting bonded up in an exponential manner." Kyra said, diverting the topic. She knows that Jennifer has different opinions on some matters compared to her. 

"Are you not happy?" Jennifer asked, pouting. 

"Of course, I am happy. I am elated to know that I will be getting a sister in law soon." Kyra teased her friend who started blushing profusely. 

Kyra laughed and Jennifer pouted in response. 

While the girls were in their own world, enjoying their time, a few people who are standing a few feet away from them are drowning in the envity and awe. 

"I didn't know Ria was this beautiful!" Claire exclaimed when she looked at Kyra. She never saw Kyra in her casual attire. None of them did. 

"She has such long, beautiful hair. Why does she hide it in a bun? I used to think that she does that to hide her broken, damaged hair to protect it from getting more damaged." the other girl, a nurse from their neuro department said. 

"Yeah, me as well." another nurse agreed. 

"And, she used to wear such loose clothes that I often mocked her for her low sense of fashion. Now, seeing her like this, I can't say that anymore. Her fashion sense is really good!" another girl who just joined them said. 

"Yeah. See her long legs, well maintained figure!! That thin waist, that sexy bum and ahhh! Totally sexy!" another girl fangirled. 

Meanwhile, Teressa and her minions are fuming. 

They didn't like how the other girls here were getting smitten by Kyra. They used to be on their side, fangirling Teressa. 

"That might have taken her a lot of effort. She must have spent days in salons for her hair, her face. About fashion sense, she must have planned everything for weeks and got someone to help her with her shopping." Teressa said. 

"She must have gone to some weight-loss treatments." her minion supported Teressa. 

After that, none of them spoke and dispersed to their own buses. It's almost time and they had to settle in. 

Ignoring the gazes of her colleagues who noticed the drastic changes in her, Kyra followed Jennifer into the bus. 

It's a group of thirty people for each batch. 

Ron, Claire, Teressa, Lillian, her colleagues and office roommates are in the same batch as her. 

Kyra knows that Oliver wanted Ron to accompany them in the same group. Afterall, he is the only one who knows about Kyra, her background and her relationship with Oliver. He can look after Kyra and Jennifer when Oliver is not with them.

As for Teressa, her father must have pulled strings to get her into the same group as Oliver. And Lillian must be accompanying her friend. Claire must be a coincidence. 

"Let's sit here." Jennifer said, pulling Kyra with her to the empty seats. Each row has four seats, two at the left side and other two at the right side, with a walkway in the middle. Four seats share a table, two and two facing each other. 

Kyra simply did what her friend asked. 

She sat down at the window side and so did Jennifer, leaving their next seats empty. 

"I want a window too." Jennifer simply gave an excuse but Kyra knows why Jennifer left a seat empty. It's for Oliver. 

Her friend is so insightful that she allowed Kyra to board the bus only after every seat except theirs got filled. So, Oliver has to come to sit with them. Teressa left the place between her empty hoping that Oliver would sit beside her but Ron occupied it. 

Kyra knows that he did it intentionally. 

Both Ron and Jennifer are on Oliver's side. 

When Oliver boarded the bus, a smile made its way to his lips. As expected, only two seats are empty. One is next to his girlfriend and the second one is next to his best friend. 

Pretending to be indifferent, he went and sat beside Kyra. His best friend Jennifer has cleverly filled the seat beside her with a snacks bag she brought to eat. 

The other girls in the bus didn't know that Oliver would be coming with them on the bus. They thought that he would use his own vehicle like always. This Ria (Kyra) is really lucky!

As soon as Oliver boarded, the bus took off. 

'I feel like we are in high school.' Kyra texted Oliver. 

'Yeah. See, how much I had to do just to sit beside my girlfriend.' he texted back. 

Kyra sent a laughing emoji. 

'You guys would not be getting to sleep together either.' Jennifer texted. 

'And, please check once before you text. This is not your private line. It's our group chat!' she added. 

Oliver and Kyra texted back at the same time.

'We know!'

'We wanted to drown you in PDA even now.'' with a wink emoji. 

'Soo in the sink!' Jennifer texted with a crying emoji. 

Kyra chuckled and stopped texting. 

Oliver smiled and leaned on his seat. 

"Dr. Miller, where are we going? No one told us the name of the place." a resident asked. 

More than the fellow doctors, residents are close to Oliver. He often goes to check their progress and help them if they are facing any political trouble in the hospital. However, he doesn't involve much in their personal stuff. He helps them so that they can focus on their work and not bother about the other affairs of the hospital.

"Ash Ville," Oliver answered. 

When Kyra heard that name, she became stiff. Her fingers started to tremble slightly and it's evident that she didn't take a breath. 

"Ria, are you fine?" Jennifer worriedly asked. This name rang a bell in her head but she couldn't recall why. 

"Hey, what happened?" Jennifer asked when she saw the trembling fingers. 

The residents looked at Kyra in worry but when Oliver shot a glance, they averted their eyes. 

As their seats are at the end of the bus, only these four residents can look at them. With them averting their eyes, Oliver got enough privacy to worry about his girlfriend openly. 

"What's wrong, Ky?" He asked, taking her hands into his. It's evident that her condition has something to do with the town Oliver mentioned. 

Could it be…
