Angel's eyes flew 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETQMhFUXyY
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFFs1a60N0
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVaP3KT1fd
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68oZGMck7
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BdBbxL2N7
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqOHCAWspi
Angel quickly stood 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoLu0SUzkN
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8mSpZcI72
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMpiZYAaa
dumb not to have realised it sooner.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9pWk56sQ
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OOe6ADQ6j
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OecRDr2E
Angel closed her eyes918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD4FTQGxtC
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRG4lc6WKT
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgGaSj4H0r
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKfl0r5n2J
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRQlQO6cj
"What do you mean?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83k7n2nGMr
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacJqcLoQhe
"But why did you leave me?" Angel asked with tears in her eyes. "Things have gone horribly wrong and this is the time to leave?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrTlrJZ2oZ
"I'm sorry I can't answer that, my dear. I wish I could. I know you're heartbroken over everything thats happened to you."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE734GoWmz
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQrsW9Ro9m
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9tvEJdKjO
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP44fMApQTL
"I know you don't mean that, Angel. As much as she has done wrong, nothing is going to change the fact that you're sisters."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ATVsvS5i8
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMFqBSgSNS
Angel's mother gave 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZI3cMCSe0
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPA0v9SwL4
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VN0zIT2x
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZVui4ft7P
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwO1SdluI
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LB6dTr0gj
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Ku2QHWry
"You know I already gave you my word."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQaRIRt3HQ
"And I know that 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQiDhBYNwn
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScg0krX8fy
please try to be patient with her, okay?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQg3Oqd3LH
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡornWPoc7bW
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZsQW0MUkK
"Mum, wait, don't 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ldUM8qpr
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsPYTkxxz
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMCwLk5H5
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44FAGToeS3
between them even bigger.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzdn0ErzE2
And then all of the 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQl6GdJrL
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKIa11rb0l
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIFszXqtsN
***918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGit7LnLkd
It918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9XCMntCG
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZaS7J9IN
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrMPWL0Nyc
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtejW1sJt19
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Aou33uDzk
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXty3yU8i3
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHy1mYbiej
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr34Y9ohn2Q
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpcrExE5Y2
was the ceiling above her.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qS009HOt
Angel's918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgadl47rrpE
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQN7vtxTg
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25sl6VVCqY
her sister's voice.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNxwzsrGZ7
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9Pu6f5qa
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOIRWEbC5a
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA8HB271bE
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKrtAiHwES
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGhkjmEDju
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuZJlpkrEe
"Please,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4tZzKzZUY
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkjd3UonEc
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31fcD6dcPr
"I'm918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLezT6cnwJh
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ATNOFrN9
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZx6NZeLJ
everything at the moment.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfLDqdEirg
Carly's918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ie0wkidXq
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PrVvQElhY
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NZ9XLr24
showed it all. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Ner4nm2s
"I918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVN636U35Z
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91oVqw4oqK
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv8QgBuw6z
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzxgSY21c
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQpp3Em96L
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeyKkuNXSs
with remorse and her body ached even more.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKen5MCkGwT
"I'm918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68gBkX888
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzAeQKO1Gc
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwDpExQd2A
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3HeYFIGWP
forgive me too."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH3akfyNjp
A918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXtil0pX1v
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeRI1csx4
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzYCm4idDK
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxmUweD18v
footsteps. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQj4n9udZv
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjgzMEE83H
"Well,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX0X8BGkii
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyXEBdRCrr
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEfKQWcf9X
revive her."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTPLoalfi5
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs9Hy6ok4h
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZGOUNtG6
Carly looked down at her918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3srXkb2S
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocy9tG1Vfj
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7L6XnmWtb
"And so as I," came the male voice.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvwqyLYfpR
Eric soon appeared 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAXiR5zYop
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd2iuF08Ri
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObI2PRSipv
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQjrx9KtjU
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OvmbDvZp
"You don't worry, she's 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbA2oEj5zw
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu41IJA0jVI
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2xFQ8nMuI
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cmHWQSmr
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4McgYqDCbm
Carly and Eric looked at918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVffHVw2o
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLfw4ibgpY
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSjtHWh4r8
"It's good to see you 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTlJBNt6Zv
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPgj046y9C
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv2x1XBrCO
Angel saw the doctor 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2olauEExsh
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKMCWEyuM
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjWJJ9zrP3
rest was exactly what she needed.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S18uwderw
***918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnSNGEAilT
A918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLy97cmgXC
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1laC8fPAM
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzAVnd7Tkc
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcPtLbVT7g
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId6UV8sfIF
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQABkD3AYO
As918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkuUjNhm9
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Av7xwnwED
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneWjx6nYmn
have. But she pulled through anyway. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8wsgp9CY2
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXXVepx7Br
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6cD3YdGHZ
Carly918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ0JKLpERU
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Epqslx9s
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SqYl3HMU2
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkDcU7J0GE
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNjPktOBbI
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb8Lvi2Xz3
wouldn't say anything. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPgVWqKdo
Even918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNECvtXibsU
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefkENyLFX
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn6m7YLfTQ
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgpj7mBHIB
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLwcr11e76
Angel kept her mouth shut.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgOrYLzxlL
On918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zMc1baZs0
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjxIzJBhUO
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiII040y2y5
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvWzDqBeq
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sBwNyEjm
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFlbaUJXT
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ51ZgLg77n
sometimes.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKNJtN80Mb
As918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg179xStp7
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawKLLFubLk
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkP9xmLGmm
"Hello, there," said Eric.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06BYPaaPqT
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5vpCl6IdN
"Well,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrFtQCtPra
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjFXvXGkMJ
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswoubX5jb
basket of fruits.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tsa8LtPcu
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzKNuo3mH0
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6IYsl7ZQS
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4Vc9IANF
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh2k3CccKe
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnliuanRPE
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYfuP0Bnt
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4LlOAzDHX
"I'll be right back," said Carly918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZisk6GsA
Eric918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mk2phFG0L
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DP7EWjioX
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xvhCJpBE5
"I918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzMnDzIqI
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfhHoGqJoR
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEel110G1ZT
right?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbpxkShBQ
Angel nodded.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk3Y28HSGc
Eric918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hwzsXp8HK
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyuGAEWEsk
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHj3cK5a40
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3rvnG0rYy
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMXWNphRI
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rQXuPU6DY
worse?918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl9NKClTik
"But918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgGV5HERcS
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvqFsYfaYv
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh2AcfNOdj
mouth.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Da6sYWL0o
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRgw9TF8A7
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfySBwE91dh
"That's918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVmJsxlEmr
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLPRNJBInz
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG47WoOnLlc
eyebrows. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU9jo6vs9S
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TYPDanNIc
Eric918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBIIFs0nEj
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxYEBGKQpS
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntK80hyO4N
dreaming.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XB6ULTQCU
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gtxprplH
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFizNWjy4dW
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OSFukZQZJ
"I918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSN88tVS5
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fTfOBp39g
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyHErHgb4
quiet was the only way to keep calm."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDsKzi1fE0
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDCNrzHuPZ
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfP2A5jKtt
"Thanks, for what?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKavWamy9px
"For918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41GVtsWqM0
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5CCRqeJlV
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbprysFSl02
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7v3APGXFS
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX5Gj6Srvp
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnaRkFYLa
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8cS7xdbda
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvV1pvHWGy
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmespnBmgob
"The....918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9B6kXsGlm
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Liq23kZH
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGz7ns8wqj
mother's death and then nothing."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy6yfzN5Ey
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9FXxYoab
"I918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi8L3xwtw7
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ69R4mMIhM
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZgjqjPmhU
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwB5rluUcU
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFjF1YSfLb
do you know who did it?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYmxF03V8f
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGhOPO7Izv
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyD87gGiRp
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWW1bbeJb
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhy2RJLUHp
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKrQ2RtaQ
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYpUyGzFWY
"No,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToGh7tHJus
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlq9pNPdt
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2jbNGtuj6
Carly."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vkFpDWBhs
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUvRNvcT9
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjXShHEE5U
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtf2Tt9f0k
"Coming918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbd1lZOJOo
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjmwjZRce
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3GSpgkGU
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBmCxgjFh
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikhXH0v0UY
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43lpB1TZkV
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ5VaTHtDf
"I...918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLLiGpaw80
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLFl0xP2uJ
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVAZnNCdz7
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj3GabTZmH
"How do you know that?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2QkAyKzSu
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHA2XPKecW
Eric918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62xGtChvHO
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ccof9QY6
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0H4zpyk77
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16JCnMbkz
"You're right."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRWfzZfdv
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhimLXoU6QM
"No, it isn't him. He wouldn't even dare come to this place," said Eric, "Carly is talking to my uncle, Leo's father."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI8qtbk5ng
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64zVVPKog
"I'm918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTPgiRFrgQ
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLYzhvJ1s5
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZiaTgQH6l
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DesU91vu3
Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftBxrM5WUC
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBj7nKPrlA
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUkf1w51Py
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpnJmLUDWn
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVApnitozr3
"What things?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHrk81q7w6
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Ifyr7qxq
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIXz76QgP7
"You're sure?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYCesOsSbs
"Of course, please do so, Eric."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpveUBe9YWF
Eric918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOQcW7iEkD
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613WdIXT6f
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKeC7K39p
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92FHCixsMP
of a person living the good life.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEdlx8gnJ
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzUb8btBB8
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2lBiZfyfH
"I'm918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1Mag4vdD
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGBVa5oAC
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibv2Zkrz6j
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yrg6xuYjc
"I thought you were still mad at me and didn't want to talk to me anymore," said Carly, "I did say I was sorry."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2biRjfBFeQ
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3um6rPh2iB
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0P2iqow6
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vfiqp1uGk
stand her sister after everything.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0zF0kLR4
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtVKv1JUB
"Sorry918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFqxfciIV0
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQh9h1OFB
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFj4yNgJS
At918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh38rUDuvx
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl3XprZCF0
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi9ADjDKom
was starting to like this man already. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGaYUuqOHz
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeoudMvt7e
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNy8sK3TZ8
"Thank you."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1LiUchIcE
"I also came to apologise on behalf of my son, Leo. I know he hasn't been here to apologise, but please don't be too offended."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubxK1IzOc
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu51tEXT1ZW
"Well,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehEVkZ9uSe
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8c7FI6RNb
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39G2Zt55dB
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLnVMuf1g
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr5zX8QK9d
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkG70ebFW0
"I hope you agree to it,918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCDiyqt9Wq
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLx4zt4o01
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR7fprzwMQ
Angel turned to face Mr 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB2sLsrmks
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQjmujGuHN
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6eu3F1ki
coming.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc0JEB6mu9
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
