Chapter 145 - My Real Name Is Kyra, Kyra Collins.

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 horrified. 

He couldn't help but take a look again and again. The more he saw, the more similar it started to feel like. 

'Is this a coincidence or did she paint it intentionally?' he thought. 

If it is a coincidence, he could sigh in relief and go at his own pace to woo her. 

If it is intentionally painted to look like her hand, there are quite a good chances Kyra is infatuated. If worse, she might have already fallen in love already. 

If it is the case, he honestly doesn't know how to handle it. He doesn't want to let her go and at the same time he can't inflict emotional pain in Kyra by trying to seperate them. 

Even thinking of that, Matthew started to feel a headache coming. 

"She better not be thinking of another man." he said, looking at the man's hand in the painting. 

He couldn't identify any unique thing on the man's hand to identify him. 

Matthew could only look at the face contour of the man and try to recall but his efforts went in vain as the man's face is still to be painted and Kyra has just started to give a shape to the face. 

At least, she might have had a crush on this man and at most, she would have tried to get close to a man. 

But Matthew is so sure that she wouldn't have confessed. In this short span of time, it is impossible for her to break all her mental barriers and come into a relationship with a stranger. 

"This can't be Luther. If it was him, he would have boosted about it endlessly and might not have returned to London this soon. Besides him, she is not close to another man who is interested in her except me."

"This can't be me right?" Matthew asked himself and his eyes twinkled as he thought about it. 

But deep down, he knows that it is not him. The way Kyra treats him has not changed at all. She is still a ruthless woman who rejected his proposal twice in a single day. 

However, a little hope still lingered in Matthew's heart. 

He went back to the main house and prepared breakfast for both his father and Kyra. 

He took his time to prepare the favorite, healthy foods of Kyra and his father. After packing them, he swiftly got ready in a while T-shirt, a black blazer and black pants. 

Making sure he didn't leave a trace of his inspection of her house, he left her home. 

-----

By the time he reached the private VIP room of his father's, there were doctors talking to his father. 

Doctors from different departments pay him a visit and give him a thorough last check. Although the injuries are not that serious, they are not to be neglected as well. 

Meanwhile, Kyra was sleeping. There is a curtain separating her bed from the main room so the other doctors couldn't see who she is. 

But they are aware that she is someone from their hospital itself. They saw her white coat which is now lying on the sofa. It has their hospital's logo embedded on it. 

Mr. Richard has asked them to talk slowly so that she wouldn't wake up. 

He even told them that she was awake almost the whole night to take care of him as he was feeling pain in his abdomen region which was punched horribly by the attackers. 

When Matthew returned, he greeted all the doctors and asked his father how he was feeling. 

As soon as he was done with it, he walked to the other side of the curtain where Kyra was sleeping. 

He stopped and took his sweet time to admire her face which had a beautiful smile on her lips. 

After that he walked to her and gently patted her cheek. 

"Ky, Wake up if you don't want to be late. You need to get ready for your shift." he said. He is not speaking loudly but it was enough for a few doctors to hear. 

Kyra didn't wake up but pulled the blanket to get face and turned to her other side. "Five minutes," she said. 

"Let her sleep, Matthew. Don't disturb her and go ask the president to give her a day off today." his father said from the other side of the curtain. 

"I suggested that yesterday night but she told me that she has important meeting and a surgery she can't miss." Matthew answered his father. 

Only when Kyra heard that, she woke up and sat down on the bed. 

"I better not be late." she said, still sleepy. 

Matthew chuckled. 

"I brought your dress and I already made breakfast. Here is your coffee from Starbucks. All you need to do is get ready." he told her. 

"Thank God." Kyra said. It is not that she will get scolded for being late. Her boss is none other than her boyfriend and he would never bring himself to scold her. 

It is just that she prefers to be on time and besides that, today is an important meeting and many other departments will be there. 

She shouldn't ruin the name of the neurosurgery department by being tardy. 

"I am such a good fiance, right?" Matthew asked, hitting on her again. He could hear his father chuckling and Kyra sighing deeply. 

"You better not call me that again, Matthew. I am really not in a mood to reject you thrice in the two days." she said. 

She doesn't know that there are doctors on the other side of the curtain. She couldn't hear any voices because they are quietly doing their work like checking up, filling charts and changing bandages. 

"Then accept me." Matthew said. 

"Don't force her into anything, Matthew!" his father said. 

Kyra didn't say anything but walked to the bathroom and closed the door on her other side. 

Matthew sighed. 

------

By the time Kyra came out, no one was there in the room except his uncle. Even Matthew went out to talk to the doctors. 

"Sorry for that, dear. That son of mine is annoying sometimes. He is stubborn and he won't leave until he gets what he wants. He didn't make you feel awkward, right?" her uncle, Uncle Richards asked. 

"It's a little awkward to be honest, uncle. I feel bad for him at the same time but I can't bring myself to see him in that way."

"The last thing I want to do is to be in a relationship where there is no love. I know that he likes me and if I say yes, it will be unfair for him." 

"I can't love him back in the way he loves me. After some time, it would become a burden to him and by the time he realised that he shouldn't have gotten into a loveless relationship, it would be too late." Kyra said. 

"Then, give me a chance. Once, Ky. Only once." Matthew asked as he entered the room. 

"What has gotten into you, Matthew? Ever since yesterday, all you can talk about is this!" Kyra said. 

"I was patient for so long, Ky. I just can't do it anymore and I realised that life is short. I don't want to spend any more time waiting on you." he said. 

"I really don't understand why you are stuck on me, Matt. There are better women outside." Kyra gently said, placing her hand on his. 

"I don't have eyes on others." he said. 

Before Kyra could say anything, a knock distracted them. 

"Get in," her uncle answered. 

It was Ron who knocked on the door. 

"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Richard but Dr. Lopez is being summoned by our head. She has to hurry." he said. 

Kyra nodded her head and swiftly stood up. 

"Be careful and rest well, uncle. I will see you later. Thanks for the breakfast and coffee, Matthew. Seems like I can't have them now." saying so, Kyra followed Ron outside. 

Only after leaving the room, she took a deep breath and sighed in relief. That was close! 

"Dr. Miller is already here?" Kyra asked Ron. 

"He hasn't arrived yet. I felt like you needed some help so I phoned Dr. Miller and told him about the situation. He asked to give this excuse and bring you out." Ron answered. 

"So you know about us?" Kyra asked. 

"I figured out most of the part and Dr. Miller confirmed it last night." Ron answered. 

"Oh." Kyra didn't know how else to reply. 

"Who are you, Ria? What is your real name and who are you exactly?" he asked. 

Kyra looked at him and after a few seconds she looked away. 

"My real name is Kyra. Kyra Collins.." she answered.
