“What is it?” doctor mike asked.
“Doctor mike. she has already in cured a handsome amount here and then”

“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

but,
my wife died six years ago” Mr. mike said.

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.
