Chapter 84 - Add Her In Your Prayers.

"To her happiness." Sofia said and they toasted. 

As they did it, Ryan took a picture and sent it to Luther. 

'Miss you, bro. But don't worry, I toasted on your behalf." Ryan sent the voice message. 

'And, I ate instead of you,' Sofia shouted after that. 

"And, I ordered with your credit card, sorry!" Kyra joked. 

Then, they sent the photo and that message to Luther.

Meanwhile in London…

"Is this for mw?", a little girl around five years old asked a man who gave her a huge cover of chocolates. 

He is wearing a white coat and he has a stethoscope around his neck. 

"Of course, it's for you, sweety/", he answered, ruffling her hair as he crouched to her height. 

"Thank you. But Dr. Hunt, how do you know I love this chocolate?", the girls asked. 

He is called Dr. Hunk by almost everyone in the hospital. It is the nickname given to him by the hospital staff and the patients. 

He is handsome and extremely sexy, so he is famous with that name. 

Around 6 feet 2 inches, he has deep gray eyes akin to a storm. He is very well toned and has medium long blonde hair. His demeanor is outgoing, playful and jovial. Wherever he goes, he brightens up the environment and makes it lively. 

There is almost no one in this hospital who hates him. Everyone loves to talk to him and besides being vibrant and exuberant in nature, he is also known for his generosity and kind nature. 

However, he is not someone to mess with. Jovialness and kindness is only one side of him. But, when he gets angry or annoyed, he could be dangerous and fearful as well. 

In short, he is respected, loved and looked up at. 

"I know everything.", Luther said to that little girl as he smiled. 

While he was talking to her, her parents entered the room. They were clearly moved to tears as they looked at Luther. 

"Dr. Smith, we can't thank you enough. Wha…what you did for us…us is-", they were about to thank but Luther interjected. 

"Please don't thank me. I helped you people because it felt right to do.", Luther said, patting their shoulders to comfort the parents of that little girl. 

Luther paid all the hospital fees of that little girl. He paid for her surgery, accomodation, medicines and almost everything. As her parents were not able to afford it, Luther realized it and extended his help. 

"It's not a small amount, Dr. Smith." the girl's mother said. 

"That's fine, madam. Moreover, your daughter reminds me of someone very special to me.", Luther said looking at the girl who was busy enjoying eating chocolate. 

Seeing her, Luther chuckled. 

The little girl has hazel eyes, honey blond, long hair and most importantly the way she talk reminds him of Kyra. 

"Someone special?", the little girl asked. 

"Yes, someone very special.", Luther answered. 

"Is she your girlfriend?" the girl asked, her eyes bright.

Luther chuckled and his heart warmed up looking at those eyes. How much he is missing Kyra!!

"Unfortunately, she isn't. But I hope she will become my girlfriend in future.", Luther said, pursing his lips. 

He has known Kyra for almost eight years now. He was her senior in their medical school. She did her residency under him and was once a fellow who worked with him before she decided to go to the USA. 

In short, they were close. 

And, besides Collins' family, only he knows about Kyra's past and her trauma. While Collins' family used to protect her outside the medical school, he used to protect and look after her on the campus. 

In fact, he fell for her long back and to be more precise, he doesn't know how he fell for her or when he fell for her. It should have happened when he started to see the 'real her'. 

At first, when he met for the first time, she was a freshman, a silent shadow whose existence was not known to most of her classmates. She was scared to mingle with people and used to be alone most of the time. He was the first one to notice her though he was not from her year. 

At first, he thought that she was like that by nature but later realized that she was actually showing signs of depression. At that time he was unaware of her past and only tried to help her so she could become normal again. 

In short, his first feeling towards Kyra was pity. Being a kind person by nature, he only wanted to help her. 

However, as the time passed by, he started to understand her more and more. That pity he had for transformed into fascination as he was the first person to recognize how intelligent and underrated she is. 

It made him more adamant to help her to shine brightly. 

At the beginning, Kyra didn't encourage his help. All she wanted at that time was to stay away from people. Only after a while, he found out that she had a disturbing past which made her stop trusting people. 

He got to know glimpses of her past from the assistant of Kyra's psychiatrist who was his friend back then. And, when he got to know how miserable and horrible her life was, his determination to help her to fight back started becoming stronger and stronger. 

Slowly, step by step he earned her trust and he was her first friend in the medical school. 

It was also the time Kyra started interacting with Collins. 

While Collins helped her to return to her normal condition, he had his own share of efforts in it. 

At last, their efforts started to bear fruits and Kyra started becoming a normal person. In fact, she exceeded their expectations and accomplished many things. For that, Luther couldn't be more proud!!

She and a few other friends of hers started their own business together and they managed to make it successful. When it started earning profits, Kyra was still a student. 

He helped her in his own way and he was silently supporting her in each and every step of hers. 

When she decided to resume her painting, he encouraged her by introducing her to his uncle, one of the famous painters worldwide. 

In short, he was that friend she wanted the most at that time. 

In this process, he didn't realize when he fell for her. 

He wanted to propose to her but he was scared that she would break her ties with him and stop talking to him completely. He could only expect the worst because he knows how scared Kyra is when it comes to starting relationships of this kind. 

And, he saw it for real when Matthew, her second brother's best friend proposed to her. She stopped talking to him and she started to talk only after Matthew promised to not bring it up again. Ever Since then, she 'friendzoned' Matthew. 

It is not like he wants to back off. He is just trying for the right time. The time when Kyra is no longer held by her past and her fears. 

Till that time comes, he could only be her friend and protect her from the side. 

"Why don't you make her your girlfriend? I am sure that pretty sister will accept you, Dr, Hunk." the little girl said, bringing Luther back from walking the memory lane. 

"You think so?", Luther asked, his eyes twinkling. 

"Of course, she will!! You are handsome, kind and rich. My mother tells that this type of man is the dream guy for everyone.", the girl said, making Luther laugh. 

"You, my dear, are too intelligent for your age.", Luther said, ruffling her hair.

"So, can I expect my little girl to take her medicines and food properly and get ready for her surgery?" Luther asked. 

The girl nodded her head cutely. "I promise.", she promised. 

"Good.", Luther said and looked at her parents. 

"I scheduled her surgery for next monday at 9 Am. The nurses will be taking her food and supplements, so, don't worry about that. Just keep an eye on Lily and report back immediately if she has any seizures." Luther said. 

Her parents nodded her head as they heard his every word attentively. 

"Is… is there anything we could do to show our gratitude?", they asked. 

Luther smiled. 

"Just add the woman I love in your prayers and wish for her happiness and safety. It would be sufficient as there is nothing more I wish for.", Luther said, leaving the room. 

Since the time Kyra went back, his heart has not been at peace. Though she had her brother and best friend with her, he still couldn't help but worry. It became worse when he heard that she got into an accident recently.

If only he could go to see her, he would have done it long back. However, his schedule is tightly packed with surgeries and conferences. 

When Luther reached his office, he heard his phone vibrate and when he saw who it is, a huge smile made up to his lips.
