Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Chapter 176 - You Don't Believe In Me?

"Should I replace her then? I can send her back or I could swap her place with other." Oliver told Anthony. 

"That would be better. I will explain about her situation after I come back this weekend." Anthony said. 

Oliver just nodded his head and ended the call. When he turned around to return to his room, he stopped. In front of him, Kyra is standing with her arms crossed. 

"Replace me? You want me to run away ?" Kyra asked. 

"Ky-" Oliver was about to say something but Kyra interjected. 

"Haven't you told me just this morning that you would support me through this trip?" Kyra asked, disappointed. 

"I thought you were true with your words and I believed that your trust in me was genuine. Oliver, you are just like my brothers."

"They love me so much and spoil me endless but when it comes to this, they would rather prefer if I run away than facing it. They don't believe in me in this aspect"

"I… I thought that I at least have you but…but" Kyra didn't finish speaking and just shook her head and averted her face. 

It is obvious that she is hurt and sad. 

Oliver panicked. 

The first rule. Never make Kyra sad. 

He seems to have broken it. 

"Ky, I believe in you. And, I am genuine when I promised to support you through this. It's just that your brothers are worried." Oliver said and tried to approach her to hug her. 

Kyra evaded and looked at Oliver. 

"They are always like that. They won't support me if it comes to this." Kyra said. 

"They have a good reason." Oliver said. Every brother is like this. Even he is the same. 

So, you are on their side, now?" Kyra asked. 

Oliver didn't answer and that was enough for Kyra to understand.

"Fine. You can try to send me back but at the end of the day, it would be my choice whether to leave or not." Kyra said and she took a step forward.

"And, I am not going anywhere. I will show you guys that I am not a coward who can't face her past." Kyra told Oliver. 

"Kyra. let's not act on impulse, okay?" Oliver said. Her brothers are right. Kyra is too stubborn sometimes but he somehow understood how she is feeling. 

She is frustrated and angry. 

But she can't vent it out because the people on the other side are her well wishers on whom she can never get angry. 

The people she loves and values most are the ones who are telling her to back off. It would crumble her confidence and make her feel useless. 

He used to be afraid of blood. So, when he told his family that he wants to become a doctor, they opposed it. They said they believed him but at the same time they covertly opposed his decision. 

When he found out that they don't have enough trust and confidence in him, Oliver felt terrible and useless. 

'Do they think I am so fragile and easily intimidated that they couldn't even think of letting me take a try?' This was what flooded his mind that time.

But thank God he had Jennifer and Raymond (his best friend) to support him through that ordeal. 

Now, Kyra is in the same phase as him. She wants to fight her trauma like how he did a few years back. If he listened to his family and decided to cave in to their persuasion, he would not have become one of the top neurosurgeon now.

He would have inherited the company and would be working as CEO. 

He knows that if Kyra could make it through and have a breakthrough, she would become more successful and happier in her life. But, he is scared.

Scared that she would plunge more deeper into her trauma if she fails to make it through this ordeal. 

Now, he understood why his grandparents and sister were against him at that time. 

But his friends took a brave step because they have trust in him and were ready to face it with him if he fails. 

Oliver wants to be that person to Kyra now. But, his love for her and the concern for her is dominating this brave idea. 

Meanwhile, Kyra waited and when Oliver didn't say anything her heart sank. So, he is still against her idea to face her trauma. 

"All right. Do whatever you want but I will not yield." Kyra said and left his room. Before Oliver could even register what happened, Kyra had long left his room. 

He sighed. He has to think thoroughly before taking action but for now, he have to go back to his work.

When Kyra walked into her room, Jennifer just finished speaking to her boyfriend who is Kyra's third brother. 

Just by looking at her best friend's face, she could right away tell that Anthony has planted the same panic seeds in Jennifer as well. 

"Ky-" Jennifer was about to say something to Kyra but Kyra stopped her friend. 

"I don't want to listen to anything." she said and went into the washroom before slamming the door shut. 

Jennifer looked at her friend and shrugged. Did the couple fight for the first time??

After a few minutes, Kyra came out patting her face dry. 

"Let's go?" Jennifer asked. 

"You go. I will come in a few minutes." Kyra said. 

"I can wait." Jennifer offered. 

"I want a few minutes of alone time." Kyra said with a smile. 

Jennifer nodded her head and gave a smile before leaving her friend alone. 

When Jennifer exited the room, Oliver just came out as well. 

"What did you do to my friend? She is in a very sour mood." Jennifer demanded. 

Oliver sighed and told her everything. After hearing him, Jennifer could only imitate him and sigh in return. 

"This… " Jennifer had no words to say. Surprisingly, she holds the same thoughts as Oliver. 

Oliver's trauma back then was not as complex as Kyra's. It is simpler and they actually know the origin of his trauma and how to fight it.

But Kyra's trauma is formed layer upon layer. The origin might look simpler but it isn't. 

However, it looks like this sucide is the starting point. The nightmares that followed this nightmare had such a strong impact on her that she remained almost the same later. 

Depressed, pessimistic, desolated and sad. 

They remained shut when her mother took her under her wing but flooded back once she got betrayed. 

Her trauma is complex and the origin seems even more mysterious. 

"Let's go. We will persuade her after she cools down a little." Jennifer said. 

Oliver reluctantly looked at the door of Kyra's room and then nodded his head. 

—-----------

The evening quickly passed. Oliver and Kyra crossed paths a few times but Kyra cold heartedly ignored him. Although Oliver wanted to go and cool his girlfriend's anger, the whole staff was busy. 

As their boss, he can't go and do his personal work as it will not set the right example. 

By the time he finished and started searching for his girlfriend, the sun had already set. On his way to search for Kyra, he came across Jennifer who seems to be searching for her best friend as well.

"Nope. The last time I saw, she was treating a kid who is suffering from malnutrition." Jennifer said. 

"Yeah. Me too. But it is a couple of hours back." Oliver said. 

"I will go and ask others if they have seen her somewhere. I saw her with Claire often today." Jennifer said. 

Oliver nodded his head and looked around worriedly. 

Where did his girlfriend go? He should have expected this. 

What if she had decided to look around and something triggered her trauma and made her faint?

Thinking of that alone made Oliver's heart race in panic. 

This Girlfriend of his is really, really stubborn. 

"Ky…Kyra took off an hour back it seems. When Claire asked where Kyra was going, she said… she said that she is going to the mountain for fresh air." Jennifer said while she panted.

She had to run all the way after hearing Claire's words. 

"What??" Oliver shouted. 

"How could they let her go alone to the mountain?? That too at this time??" he shouted. 

"Claire insisted on going but Kyra stopped her, it seems. She insisted on going alone and assured me that she would be back in an hour." Jennifer said. 

"Kyra told Claire that she would not be going deep into the mountains and would return as soon as it starts to turn dark." she added. 

"Still!" Oliver exclaimed angrily. What exactly is Kyra thinking?? 

"It's been almost an hour since she went and the sky is already dark. I… I am going to search for her." Oliver said. 

"I… I will come with you." Jennifer said but Oliver shook his head horizontally. 

"If I don't return with Kyra in an hour, alert Justin and come to search for her. No… don't wait. Go now only and tell him that one of the staff went missing and has to be found immediately.." Oliver said and ran towards the mountain.
