An ellipsis is used to signify that part of a text or speech has been removed. It shows that something is missing. It DOES NOT show the passing of time, as it is commonly used.
For example:
"He said that eating fruits, like apples, and cheese helped him stay healthy."
"He said that eating fruits . . . and cheese helped him stay healthy."
