Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Oliver couldn't refuse. After all, this four days trip is not only for charity but to strengthen the relationship between the staff. It means, the hierarchy, the positions of the people don't matter here. 

"Fine. Ask away." Oliver said. He is indifferent like always but he sounded casual. 

"Dr. Miller, do you have a girlfriend? If you have, then, when did you fall for her?" Claire asked. 

"That's two questions," the girl who is managing the game said. 

Oliver smiled. 

"Yes, I have a girlfriend. Although I can refrain from answering the second question, I will answer it. It's been almost four years since I fell for her." he said. Which is true. Kyra and he met at a twins ' birthday party and it is a love at first sight for him. 

Kyra smiled inside. Yes, that day laid the foundation to their feelings. The dance they shared and the small conversation they had after that are most special to them. Although they haven't seen each other's faces and have lied about their names, the time they spent is most precious to them. 

Everyone cheered except for a few people like Teressa, Lillian and the other crazy fans. 

"This is the first time we are seeing you smile like this, Dr. Miller." the girl who is managing this game said. 

Oliver smiled even more. "Thinking of my girlfriend alone makes me smile," he said. He wanted to entwine his fingers with Kyra and smile at her. If possible he wants to kiss her as well. 

Another cheer erupted in the bus, making Oliver shy for the very first time. 

He had to avert his face and look away. It's too obvious…

Everyone who was genuinely happy for Oliver felt it was cute. They haven't seen this shade of him never before. This proves that he is like an ordinary person when it comes to feelings and emotions. 

"We are glad to know that our Dr. Miller is in a relationship." the girl said. 

"Yes, we expect a wedding invitation, Dr. Miller." another guy said. 

Oliver chuckled. 

"I would send everyone the invitation after I propose to my girlfriend." Oliver said. It's not like he never thought of wedding. In fact, it is something he has been looking forward to. 

Marrying Kyra and officially living with her under one roof and starting his own family with the woman he loves after a few years of enjoying their couple life…

These are his happiest dreams. The dreams he is looking forward to. 

Before meeting Kyra and falling in love with her, all he dreamt was to become successful and treat his sister's disease. Now, he has new dreams to look forward to. Of course, his sister is his top priority as well. 

"When can we expect, Dr. Miller." one of the interns asked, excited. 

"You can ask this question if you get the chance in this game." Oliver said with a smile. He would love to answer and show off how much he loves his girlfriend but he can't answer this question in front of her as it might pressurize Kyra. 

The girl pouted but nodded her head in agreement. 

"The next participant then." the girl said and put the chits back into the box and jiggled it before taking a chit out. 

"This time…it's Dr. Smith." the girl said, giving a smile to Jennifer. 

Jennifer chuckled and went to take a chit out of the box. 

"It's Dr. Miller again." Jennifer said. 

"Am I getting scammed here?" Oliver said but gestured to Jennifer to ask him a question. 

"Dr. Miller, you have a girlfriend and you might also have a best female friend, right" So, if both of them fall into the river, whom would you rescue?" she asked. This is a cliche question but she wanted to ask. It's not like she would get jealous if he saved Kyra and not her. She simply wanted to ask. 

"I will have to save both, Dr. Smith. My girlfriend and best friend are bestest friends and I would be dead if I neglect even one of them. Sometimes, I feel like my girlfriend loves her best friend more than me." Oliver said. 

Everyone laughed. They didn't know Oliver could speak this much in one go and that his life is this colorful and exciting. 

"I want an exact answer, Dr. Miller." Jennifer demanded. 

"Well, I would save my girlfriend and leave my best friend to be saved by her boyfriend." Oliver said. 

Jennifer smiled and nodded. 

Kyra could only chuckle inside. Oliver played well. He knows that Jennifer would be cooled once Anthony is brought into conversation. 

"It looks like you guys can go on a double date." the girl said. 

Kyra and Jennifer looked at each other and they were obviously thinking, 'Let's do it as soon as Anthony comes back'. 

"I am looking forward to it." Oliver responded. 

Everyone could only smile again. They could see that he is really happy with his life. 

The game continued. 

After a few rounds…

"Dr. Lopez." Oliver said looking at his girlfriend. He was waiting for this chance. As there are not many people in the bus, this possibility was something he expected. 

However, now, he didn't know what to ask. 

"I have heard that you have worked in another hospital before coming here. If you get a chance to go back, what would you do?" he asked. 

It's been long since this question started haunting him. 

Kyra came here for a year or so. Her initial plan was to return to London and work in her parent's hospital. She is already missing her family. 

Oliver is not sure whether Kyra's plans have changed. 

Kyra didn't answer for a minute.

"Well, that's a difficult question, Dr. Miller. I heard that the hospital I used to work at has started to consider opening their branch here. I might go to work there for a few years if they ask me to return. But, I am not sure. I started liking it here." Kyra answered. 

Her family was considering opening a branch here as this city is famous for medical facilities in the whole country, but they have refrained till now. 

If she decides to stay here, they might expand their hospitals to the United States as well. Like this, they could make trips often from London to here. They can even stay here for months if they want to see their daughter. 

Oliver read between the lines and just nodded his head. But, Kyra could see the smile on Oliver's lips. 

She will miss her parents and family but now, if they have the second head quarters here, they would come here often. Like this, she wouldn't have to miss them. She would go and work in their parent's new hospital here so, even she could go on work trips to London and they could do the same. 

Oliver became equally important to her. 

She couldn't help but miss him. 

Everyone knows that Oliver wouldn't ask personal questions even if it is out of their working times. So, they didn't think much. Besides that, everyone knows that he values Dr. Lopez (Ria's) workmanship so much. 

The game continued for a few more minutes and then they shifted to other games. After playing for an hour or so, everyone returned to their own work.

Kyra and Jennifer are sitting beside each other, so they had a lot of fun leaving Oliver jealous. He would have had fun along with them if they three were alone. 

Kyra and Jennifer secretly enjoyed Oliver's jealous glances and after a couple of hours their destination came. 

As the town started to arrive, the surroundings started to become familiar to Kyra. The familiar mountains, the terrains, the fields…

All her memories started to come back. When she was a small girl and her family was still united, her father used to take her to roam. She would only sleep after she gets some fresh air. Those… those days… They were good but after that accident which made her father cripple, her biological mother divorced him and left and married herself into a rich family (The Robert's family). 

Her father didn't stay single for long and married his childhood love who just returned to town after divorcing her own husband. Like this, for six years Kyra got an elder step brother and an elder step sister. 

As Kyra resembled her mother a little, it angered her father whenever he saw her. He didn't love her the same again but her paternal grandparents and relatives loved her. It only made Kyra's step mother angry and that made Kyra's life more difficult. 

When Kyra was around twelve or like that, her father and paternal grandparents died as well. It left Kyra in her step mother's mercy. It was when her step mother started to make her life a living hell. She tarnished Kyra's name step by step and made her look like a crazy kid. 

At that time, only her maternal grandmother supported her but her maternal grandmother used to live somewhere else and she would say no if Kyra insisted on going back with her.. Kyra didn't understand why her maternal grandmother used to say no.
