“It is sad, but, what do you suggest?” Doctor John asked doctor Mike.
“To tell you the truth. I want to take that girl to my hospital.
So that I will have enough time to treat her. I need to make use of great facilities that I know you do not have in this hospital” doctor mike answered.
“Well, it’s okay by me. But, one thing worries me” Doctor John said.
“What is it?” doctor mike asked.
“Doctor mike. she has already in cured a handsome amount here and then”
“You know what?” Doctor mike said taking his sit.
“There’s nothing to worry about. My own bills, let’s say, I’m doing it for humanity” doctor mike said. Doctor John stare at him surprisedly.

added.
it came to Daniel as a blow. Tears began to circulate
his eyes.
“What? no oo oh, she can’t be dead” Daniel cried.

dropped
from his eyes the more. If someone should tell him
that
Ella is dead, he won’t believe.but, her grave has already

head.
“Oh God, oh God” Daniel screamed more loudly. He

struggling
to move her leg.
“I can’t” Ella responded.
“you can” Doctor mike told her.
“I can’t”
“keep on trying. move, move” Doctor mike said to Ella.
“I

doctor
mike sat opposite her looking at her.
“I
disappointed you right?” Ella asked feeling sad.
doctor
mike shook his head negatively.
“Do you know why I brought you to my house to
stay?” doctor mike asked.
“I guess,because I have nowhere else to go” Ella
responded.
“Not really” He answered.
“then why?” Ella asked.
“The moment I saw you in that hospital ward. My
heart
went out. I don’t know precisely why, but like a father
to
a daughter. I wanted to help” doctor mike said.
“Thank
you very much sir” Ella responded.
“You
don’t seem happy?” Doctor mike asked Ella who
was feeling sad.
“I want to tell you a little story. I was once married,
but,
my wife died six years ago” Mr. mike said.
“I’m so
sorry sir” Ella responded in a sympathetic way.
“There’s
no need to be. They say, time heals all wounds. I
have
tried to believe that but”
“what happened to her sir? was she ill?” Ella asked.
“she
died of grieve. I once had a daughter, if she was to
be
alive now, she will be about the same age with you.
we
gave her everything; at least,
we
tried. I must blame myself to be concern about my
work
that I didn’t notice when my little baby took drugs.
probably,
I wasn’t a good father” Doctor mike said standing up
with tears.
“She died of overdose drugs. the grieve was too much
for
my wife,so, she also died a year after”
“I’m so sorry sir”
“we all make mistakes. But, the greatest mistakes upon,
it’s
for us to delay to learn from our past mistakes. This
life
has taught me something. I have to be in the hospital
now” He
said and left with tears. Ella also broke down in tears
when
she remembered her love ones who died accidentally.
the
tears increased the more when she thought about her
love,
Daniel and why he hasn’t come looking for her.

At Austin’s hotel.
Daniel sat on a chair with his table empty. He wasn’t

holding
on his hands. It pains him that, what he treasured
most
is gone.” why Ella” He broke down in uncontrollable
tears.
