The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 52: Reason For Her Answer.

Shikera dropped the call and downloaded the file which Kyle sent. It was simply pictures of the notes the doctor took from Ethan’s last visit, which was dated as the previous day.

She frowned when her eyes fell on the section in which Kyle wrote the symptoms Ethan was exhibiting. Memories of the morning she had gone to his room when they were still at DeLoach’s mansion, flooded into her mind. He had been aggressive back then too when she tried to wake him up, but she didn’t know then that he was suffering from chronic nightmare disorder.

Of all this, what she still couldn’t understand was why she was the cure to his nightmares. Was that even medically possible?

She dialed Krystal’s number and the call immediately connected, as if the latter had been waiting for Shikera’s call.

"Any problem? I’m in the OR," she heard her doctor’s voice and wondered why all the doctors seemed to be busy today.

"No. Just a question," Shikera answered her, while still trying to phrase her question in a way that would make it sound less absurd than it actually was.

"Fire on."

"Uhm... Krystal, is it medically possible for a kiss to cure nightmares? I mean chronic nightmares."

"Of course! It’s one of the most recent discoveries that researchers made. Why do you ask?"

"It’s uhm...if someone says kissing me can cure his nightmares, do I believe him?" At this point, even Shikera was finding her questions stupid not to talk of the person on the other side of the line.

"Why not? As long as you trust the person enough not to lie, then you should probably believe him."

"One last question, does prolonged nightmare disorder cause something worse?"

"Of course, the two most common are depression and lack of concentration. My assisting surgeon is here, gotta go, baby!" Krystal hung up the call and handed the phone over to someone standing beside her.

"Was that Miss Anderson?" the man asked, a mischievous smirk on his face.

"What do you think?! You made me say something I’m not sure of to my patient so you better make sure kissing her can really cure Ethan!"

At Preston TV, Shikera head was on her desk, as she pondered on what she had just discovered. She was no idiot, and she was also not someone who didn’t value her own body. But if her body which was going to rot under the ground in five years could save someone now, should she really hesitate because she wanted to save her body?

And for who exactly? She had no plans of loving anyone for the next five years so why not help Ethan? And at the same time, get some basic experience for herself.

She could just regard it as helping her own father. Since Ethan had to take charge of Anderson corporation in his absence, he needed to be concentrated at all times. And that was what she wanted to assist him with, to cure his nightmares and steer him away from the path of depression and physiological disabilities.

With that firm resolve in her mind, Shikera picked up her phone and dialled Ethan’s number.

"I agree to the proposal," she declared.

Ethan paced the front of the villa, waiting for his Shikera to arrive from work. He was surprised enough when she called him to say she had agreed to his proposal, but he was getting worried now as it was already three hours to midnight and she was not back yet.

He had also tried calling numerous times but the phone kept ringing without the call connecting. He took out his phone and prepared to call again when the rays of light from a car’s headlamp in the distance, penetrated into his eyes. No one else could pass the pathway through the woods apart from Shikera so he decided to wait.

He was right as the car came to an abrupt stop and in front of the villa and Shikera alighted. He waited until she was close to him before asking,

"Did anything happen? You are late."

"Work happened; it’s supposed to continue like this for the next few days." Shikera drawled, clearly tired as she dragged her feet to the door.

Overwhelmed with the burning need for a relaxing bath and a soft bed, Shikera didn’t realize Ethan had been following her until she got to the door of her room. The man even had to clear his throat noisily to get her attention.

"Did you say something?" She asked.

"I wanted to ask what you want in return. Since you agreed to my proposal, then you should tell me what you want so I can start working on providing it."

Shikera nodded in realization, before answering, "I can ask that later, right? I figured you probably need me to agree as early as possible."

Ethan’s hands went to fold across his broad chest, as he assessed Shikera’s face while trying to deduce from her expression if she really hadn’t thought of what to ask or was just trying to gauge his seriousness with the proposal.

"You can ask later. But the, uhm...night kiss will be starting tomorrow. I hope you get home early enough." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With Shikera’s acknowledging nod, he walked away from there to his own study to prepare for the next night. As it was an official agreement on Shikera’s side, there had to be an official location and setting too. And it fell on his shoulders to arrange that, without the help of anybody.

The next day came and went like a blur, with Ethan waiting anxiously for the time Shikera would get off work. He needed a relaxing and refreshing sleep and he couldn’t wait to get it. He was however, surprised when she walked into the house at a few minutes past five. If everything went well, she was supposed to get off work at six so why was she coming home earlier.

"Are you sick?" That was the first instance that came to his mind and he voiced it out.

"No. Why?"

"You are here earlier than usual," Ethan pointed out.

"Oh...that’s because I had dinner with my boss today. You know him, Andrew Lane."
