The 30-year-old insurance agent was never seen again.
I’m going to get to eat, sleep, just relax, no drama."
I was like, ‘I know my body.
I’m listening to my body.
Something is not okay’…
They end up taking me to the hospital because I was not okay.
They gave me IV.
I was there for three hours.
They gave me morphine.
The pain finally went away.
But I was like, ‘What is wrong with me?’

Ortega explained that the diagnosis put her in a state of fear and confusion.
“At that point, I still was not really processing…
I already in 2018 got my gallbladder removed.
Now my appendix is being removed.
I’m losing organs left and right.
I’m like, ‘What is going on?'”
But Ortega wasn’t able to move on as quickly.
“Honestly, it took me a month and a half to recover emotionally,” she explained.
“Physically, obviously, I was okay.
But emotionally, I was not.
I left with the ‘what if,’ and obviously, we were building a connection.”
They never showed us kissing."
Which according to Ortega, they did, just “not the first night.”
