After he handed Kyra's responsibility to one of his trusted subordinates, Oliver left. He didn't have time to accompany her, otherwise, he would have surely done it.
He really wanted to be by her side and if possible, show her around the research institute and spend some time with her.
However, there is a life at stake and he must rush there as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have preferred to stay by her side and personally take care of her.
Driving for another hour, Oliver reached the hospital and by that time most of the preparations for the surgery were already done. However, after seeing Oliver covered in bandages, there was a pin drop silence in the hall. All the surgeons and fellows are already present and after noticing Oliver like that, they could only worry.
Some started to gossip about what would have happened to him while some others started to worry about his condition.
"He said he was camping when Dr. Green called him yesterday night.", the fellow under Dr. Green whispered to other fellows.
"Maybe he got into an accident while driving back,'' another fellow said. "I heard there was a heavy cyclone on the northside of the city,'' she added.
"It's good that Oliver is fine. God! He looks sexy even with the injuries and the messy look. See that sexy hair and fierce eyes.", Teressa said, looking totally infatuated.
"Yes..yes. He looks seducing with the messy hair and casual outfit. However, it's sad that he has few injuries", her friend said in disappointment. .
Oliver has just entered the surgery department and many people have already swarmed around him, asking if he is fine and whether he will be able to perform the surgery.
However, before he could answer, the president of the hospital rushed towards him, concern and fear evident in his eyes.
As soon as he approached Oliver, he asked in a hurry. "Is Kyra fine? We couldn't reach either of your phones. We were so worried about you both. Where is she, now? Are her injuries serious?"
Those questions brought silence across the room.
Who is Kyra? Is she so important that the president himself rushed here to ask about her whereabouts? Not only that, but instead of asking about Oliver's condition, he right away jumped to Kyra's condition.
Besides that, what is she doing with Oliver during the accident? Most importantly, what is her relationship with him and the president??
"She is fine. You couldn't reach her because our phones got destroyed in the previous night's accident. She had some injuries but not very serious ones. Currently, she is having her check up in my research institute."
"You can contact my assistant to get into touch with her now. And. he will be taking her back after she is done with the check up. So, don't worry much", Oliver answered everything in one go. But the concern in his eyes is too evident that it increased everyone's curiosity.
Hearing his answer and witnessing the concern in Oliver's eyes, a mini storm brewed among the group.
So, he and that girl are travelling together at night?? So, they were having a private camping trip before Dr. Green called him to assist with the surgery. They met with an accident while driving back and had an accident.
Now, he dropped her at his research institute just for a simple, routine checkup!? That research institute is for advanced research not for some basic tests!! So, is that woman so special that she opted to go for some advanced research facilities rather than the international hospitals like this one?
These types of questions filled everyone's minds. They are nosy than usual because they have never seen Oliver with a girl. Now, hearing these directly from him made everyone curious.
"Thank God… Thank God. You guys are fine.", the president sighed in relief and wiped away the sweat on his forehead after getting Oliver's assurance.
As soon as the cyclone started, Kyra's family went to the nearby cottage houses which accommodate the guests. They tried to call her but there was no signal at her side. After a while, they had network issues and it got solved only a while back.
As soon as they got their phone signals back, they tried to call Kyra and Oliver but none of them answered the call. It made everyone anxious as the cyclone was intense…
They have also heard that these mountain roads are dangerous and many accidents take place here, especially during rainy nights. As they could not reach her even after many attempts, they gave a call to him, the president of the hospital.
It took almost half an hour for him to get the news about the accident. By the time he conveyed it to Kyra's family, Oliver arrived.
"After surgery, I would like to take a day off.", Oliver said.
"Are you tired and want to catch some sleep?" the president / his Godfather asked.
"I had a good night's sleep the previous night. I want to go back to the research institute and give a tour to Kyra, if her tests come back normal.", Oliver answered his God father while he skimmed through the recent test results of the patient.
"Just say that you want to spend some time with her.", his godfather said with a chuckle.
"Didn't I say the same?? Now, give me some time to fresh up. In the meantime contact Roger and ask how Kyra's tests are going on." Oliver said. Although he knows that Kyra didn't have any major injuries to worry about, he couldn't bring himself to do that.
It felt strange for him to act like this but, his emotions are simply not in his control anymore. All he could think now is Kyra!!
