THE REJECTION Being discharged
Ella's POV“Mother, I haven't seen Luca today. He did not come yesterday either.” I say to my mother. Both of them were here very early in the morning to come check on me. Since I was going home today, I wanted to avoid leaving without seeing him.“Who is Luca, baby.” My mom asks with a lot of concern. She showed confusion on her face.“The boy who saved me. He was the one who brought me to the hospital and the one who has been taking care of me this whole time.” I say. “Ooh, I see. I want to meet him, so I can thank him personally, for rescuing my precious gem.” My daddy says. I smile as I hear her cute remark about me. Since I was young, my father has been spoiling me so much. Until today, he sees me as I am still a small girl. There is no day he treated me like an adult. I am sure he will treat my baby the same way. I was blessed to have them as my parents.“I just hope he will come soon.” I say. The doctor comes, and he issues me with the discharge summary. My dad excuses himse

Maybe you are in the wrong room.” I hear the old man telling me. This is my time to introduce myself I guess or else I will be thrown out of here without me talking to Ella. And I just cannot afford that.“No, sir, I am in the right room. I was looking for Ella.” I say so confidently.“Who are you.” The old woman says. I guess she is Ella's mother because she looks exactly like her. “I am Luca. The man who saved E

THE REJECTION After five years
