Chapter 144 - Matthew Found Out.

"Where?" Oliver asked as concern took over his rationality. 

"Here." Kyra said still in sleep, placing his hand at her throat which has a cut from the morning. 

"Does it hurt badly, Ky?" Oliver asked, worried. 

"Not much. Kiss it and it will go away." she answered, still in sleep. 

Oliver chuckled and placed a kiss on her bandage. 

"Feeling good?" he asked with a smile as he caressed her hair. 

Kyra happily nodded her head and went back to sleep with his hand on her cheek. 

Meanwhile, Ron didn't know whether he was dreaming or seeing it for real. 

Covering her with a blanket is fine. She is after all Dr. Miller's favourite fellow doctor and besides that, she is injured. 

Ron felt his life being sucked away when Kyra yanked Dr. Miller's hand and placed it on her cheeks. Ron assumed that Dr. Miller would get annoyed and retreat his hand. 

But, he didn't even get angry let alone feel annoyed. Ron still tries to convince himself by telling himself that Ria (Kyra) is injured and Dr. Miller didn't want to act rashly with her. 

All his rationality started to leave him when Ria shamelessly asked for a kiss and their boss, Dr. Oliver Miller obliged gladly. He even left a kiss on her forehead. 

It is only when Ron realised that Dr. Miller called Ria as 'Ky' earlier. 

And, he remembered that Dr. Miller's rumoured girlfriend who was in an accident with him and got his utmost care and concern later is called 'Kyra'. 

Kyra - Ky. 

As if he got hit by the lightning, everything started to fall into place. 

No wonder Kyra used to take hours of time whenever she consulted Dr. Oliver Miller in his office. She is his girlfriend. The rumoured girlfriend for whom both Dr. Miller and the Hospital's president care deeply. 

Meanwhile, Oliver placed a kiss on Kyra's forehead and took a glance at Kyra's uncle Mr. Richards felt relieved to see the man in deep slumber. Then he shifted his focus to Ron who is still looking at Kyra absent mindedly. 

Oliver cleared his throat. Although he knows that Ron is in shock and is not 'staring' at her, he still didn't like it. 

Only when Ron heard that, he forced himself to focus. 

Oliver gestured towards the door with his eyes, asking Ron to follow him out. 

Ron nodded his head and followed Oliver outside the room. 

"Don't allow anyone inside. Only Dr. Ron here and the nurses you saw earlier are assigned to Mr. Richard." Oliver instructed the guards outside and walked away.

Ron silently followed him to his office and only after he closed the door, Oliver looked at him.

"Just pretend like you didn't see anything that happened today." Oliver said. 

Ron nodded his head. Although it's tough to obey, he will. He must. 

He knows that Dr. Miller trusts him and that's why he allowed him to see this. If Dr. Miller didn't trust him, he wouldn't have taken him to Mr. Richard's room. 

"Any questions?" Oliver asked. As Ron assumed, Oliver indeed trusts him. 

"Dr. Ria Lopez, she..," Ron trailed off, not sure whether he could ask this question. 

"What about her?" Oliver asked. 

"Her real name is not Ria Lopez, right? And, she is not from some nameless tier 3 medical school or from some ordinary family, right?" Ron asked, mustering his courage. 

"Right." Oliver answered. After what Ron has witnessed, it would be meaningless to lie. 

"She…she is your girlfriend, Dr. Miller?" Ron blurted out. 

"She is. But you better not spill this anywhere. No one knows about us, not yet." Oliver warned him. 

"I wouldn't dare, Dr. Miller. I don't know what her real name is or who she really is, but for me, she is Ria Lopez, one of my good friends. I wouldn't bring any trouble for her intentionally. You can trust me on this." Ron honestly promised. 

He knows what would happen if everyone in the hospital finds out Dr. Miller and his new fellow, Dr. Lopez. The people in Dr. Miller's fangroup are crazily possessive for him and they would bring hell down to the earth if they notice someone getting close to their idol. 

What would happen if they find out that he has a girlfriend and she is someone from the hospital??!

They will try to make her life a living hell and Dr. Miller will have to protect her from those crazy ladies. It will distract him from focusing on his patients and surgeries and that could bring danger to the patient's life as well. 

The consequences are so extreme that he wouldn't dare to stir the storm. 

"Good. You better keep it that way, Ron. I don't want her to suffer because of me in any way." Oliver said. 

Ron smiled and nodded his head in agreement. So, the cold and aloof Oliver Miller is soft inside the heart. His kindness and concern is not only for his patients but it is for the other people as well. 

"Sir… could I ask who she really is?" Ron asked. 

He is really curious about his boss, Dr. Miller's girlfriend now. 

She is good at her work. She is brave and smart enough to avert dire situations. 

She knows the prominent figures like Mr. Richards and his son, Matthew Richards, who even asked her to marry him not once but twice in the same hour. 

"You can ask her yourself, Ron. If she is fine with it, she will tell you." Oliver said. Though he is her boyfriend, even he has some boundaries he shouldn't cross. One of them is to disclose her identity without asking her. 

"Understood, Dr. Miller." Ron said and left the room. 

Oliver left not very long after that. 

—---------------

The next morning. 

Matthew woke up early as it is his habt to do so no matter what circumstances he is in. 

It didn't take him much effort to find the gym. 

After sweating for an hour or so, Matthew returned to the guest room and took a bath.

Freshening up, the first thing he did was to roam around the house. He didn't get to see it yesterday night as he was very exhausted. 

"So, this is my soon to be wife's room" Matthew spoke to himself and chuckled as he opened the door. As expected her room is decorated in the same neutral colours, Grey and white themed design. It has a mini study room attached to it and a huge veranda as well. 

"She should have slept on this side" he thought and traced his fingers on the neatly arranged bed sheet. He lied down on that side and took a whiff of the familiar scent. 

"When will you let me use the other side of this bed, Ky?" he asked as he looked at her portrait that is hung on the wall behind the bed. 

Getting no answer, he sighed. 

"At least there is no one who is worthy enough to compete with me for this place" he said as he rolled to the other side. However, little did he know that this place was occupied by someone long back. 

Staying in the same place for a few more minutes. Matthew stood up and cleaned the bed before leaving the room. Then, he walked to the Garden house where she might be storing the paintings she has painted recently. 

"Let's see how your mood is, nowadays." he said and walked to the porch where her canvas is. Her paintings determine the mood she is in. If she is sad, the paintings she paints will show the sadness and the same applies for all her moods. 

So far, he has seen happy, sad, depressed, melancholic and pleasant paintings. He never got to see the romance, love and intimacy in any of her paintings. The thought of it always gave him a sense of peace because it is a sign that she never felt those emotions and feelings till now. 

"She locked the door!" Matthew exclaimed in disappointment when the door of the garden house didn't open. 

"What is she hiding? This is new. She never locks." he said as he tried once again but in vain. Kyra is indeed hiding something. Her memories with Oliver she painted recently. She doesn't want anyone to see it. 

Matthew gave up and walked to the canvass which still has the painting that is yet to be finished. 

He removed the cover hovering over it and when he saw the painting, he felt his heart sink. 

Kyra, who never depicted romance or anything that relates to love, has painted something that could be deemed as a romantic moment. 

A man and a woman were holding hands and the man was kissing the back of her palm. He couldn't tell whether the man in it is real or not as the man's face is yet to be painted. Only the outline, the contours of his face are drawn. 

However, Matthew could tell that the girl's hand in the painting is Kyra's. 

The ring on her finger is the exact copy of the ring Kyra wears. 

'What's going on!' Matthew thought horrifiedly.
