Angel's eyes flew 809Please respect copyright.PENANAxFUKElpV1T
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 809Please respect copyright.PENANAWEvCTkaRMC
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 809Please respect copyright.PENANAkFgVh9MesU
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 809Please respect copyright.PENANAYuxg4WZHhU
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAfCsO4GMmsC
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.809Please respect copyright.PENANAdRU12YiNlt
Angel quickly stood 809Please respect copyright.PENANA2t7kMQM2ZG
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.809Please respect copyright.PENANALzjGkD2CkC
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 809Please respect copyright.PENANAmNK9aypa0a
dumb not to have realised it sooner.809Please respect copyright.PENANAPc0X0kTFDb
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.809Please respect copyright.PENANANIBu0Eb0ce
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.809Please respect copyright.PENANAFeir0UChkB
Angel closed her eyes809Please respect copyright.PENANAttgvqMA3ii
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 809Please respect copyright.PENANAyIv1wmuuO1
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.809Please respect copyright.PENANAUTAvXiAWU6
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAJZWmdNFNV1
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."809Please respect copyright.PENANAUCN93TZD2t
"What do you mean?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAu6KsF0DdOT
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."809Please respect copyright.PENANAk0Ep9cuOTy
"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?"809Please respect copyright.PENANACfPbjUVolL
"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."809Please respect copyright.PENANAIACrUJPWuA
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.809Please respect copyright.PENANA1rv6uFTxdw
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."809Please respect copyright.PENANAuUlYKWkjGg
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."809Please respect copyright.PENANARc3BXySWd7
"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."809Please respect copyright.PENANAumjf2Kqz0n
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAOEtLBdrODH
Angel's mother gave 809Please respect copyright.PENANAjyZjmxKgQy
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 809Please respect copyright.PENANA1n6vHEUfHv
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer809Please respect copyright.PENANASIuHpuXTLv
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more809Please respect copyright.PENANA0w63qrf3qI
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 809Please respect copyright.PENANAFnw6s7je7j
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 809Please respect copyright.PENANAHyMhAQ1Cb8
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."809Please respect copyright.PENANAkZKNmSE7dB
"You know I already gave you my word."809Please respect copyright.PENANA0s2y9zBkDI
"And I know that 809Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3AePxnqQ
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 809Please respect copyright.PENANA8juIla12xE
please try to be patient with her, okay?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAPLsNGurWmF
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.809Please respect copyright.PENANAR0xicEZWXN
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.809Please respect copyright.PENANAA3pMIDp7nw
"Mum, wait, don't 809Please respect copyright.PENANAFiWu3LPS3D
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 809Please respect copyright.PENANAGFcnDFxRsU
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 809Please respect copyright.PENANAhzCdqMcMtf
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 809Please respect copyright.PENANAqwit6qXm3M
between them even bigger.809Please respect copyright.PENANATUfhsckPGl
And then all of the 809Please respect copyright.PENANAbLXIclgTDB
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her809Please respect copyright.PENANAzIlTMyw8z7
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.809Please respect copyright.PENANAZSRQl9tFj8
***809Please respect copyright.PENANAOUkRSmXaTu
It809Please respect copyright.PENANAKKGG3mEVod
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 809Please respect copyright.PENANADCmioCNcrp
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 809Please respect copyright.PENANAm3D5OncDcQ
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 809Please respect copyright.PENANASpneIZmmey
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 809Please respect copyright.PENANAo3YUazqwL3
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a809Please respect copyright.PENANAnNHzpxxYdZ
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 809Please respect copyright.PENANAywAbvl1GXP
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 809Please respect copyright.PENANAdxjjA7GpBJ
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 809Please respect copyright.PENANA3iVoJ4DusC
was the ceiling above her.809Please respect copyright.PENANAv2jmEoodRE
Angel's809Please respect copyright.PENANAfK720DUC0I
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 809Please respect copyright.PENANA6dOautaeMH
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 809Please respect copyright.PENANAVGwUrywc3r
her sister's voice.809Please respect copyright.PENANAUWPF2ikEJw
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 809Please respect copyright.PENANA1BizAxWTT5
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANA46aAgiyf3G
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 809Please respect copyright.PENANA4vONjVhFPC
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 809Please respect copyright.PENANA1rO2SUcIii
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 809Please respect copyright.PENANA4J8PkkCBPG
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.809Please respect copyright.PENANAtcL9cZK15c
"Please,809Please respect copyright.PENANAaAsx8Rw0oS
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to809Please respect copyright.PENANAy60ae6NpKf
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.809Please respect copyright.PENANAokRrktUqUk
"I'm809Please respect copyright.PENANAN4t8F3R1T9
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 809Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0DMtOjV7m
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process809Please respect copyright.PENANAqkmxVCiN80
everything at the moment.809Please respect copyright.PENANATZkJMQkpVF
Carly's809Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bz74SyDA
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 809Please respect copyright.PENANAIsclYOcmMA
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 809Please respect copyright.PENANAYEhz5YrQMw
showed it all. 809Please respect copyright.PENANA5QAu8DlTXL
"I809Please respect copyright.PENANAGrcoYs39Vn
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 809Please respect copyright.PENANAuQuuOIrvPO
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."809Please respect copyright.PENANAFN9mxiA5X2
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANAyTHfe0wU4Q
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears809Please respect copyright.PENANARGZtcvUc3M
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 809Please respect copyright.PENANAprpVqadI6A
with remorse and her body ached even more.809Please respect copyright.PENANA4vBFWtGzMs
"I'm809Please respect copyright.PENANAnYCazKxeWc
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 809Please respect copyright.PENANASI4mS45LuJ
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 809Please respect copyright.PENANAANFTV6ReVC
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 809Please respect copyright.PENANAbSw1oMLonj
forgive me too."809Please respect copyright.PENANAYqO4rWdlhA
A809Please respect copyright.PENANA8BT7YzdMDT
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 809Please respect copyright.PENANA3qrhCN38Za
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly809Please respect copyright.PENANANxpukjLeLv
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 809Please respect copyright.PENANA0JyIjGwITu
footsteps. 809Please respect copyright.PENANALijgIdn618
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.809Please respect copyright.PENANA6K6z1R398l
"Well,809Please respect copyright.PENANAhb02NqAjjL
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 809Please respect copyright.PENANA3zTKc57vjl
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 809Please respect copyright.PENANAkmYT0PiLsJ
revive her."809Please respect copyright.PENANAXxPY9rDw9k
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 809Please respect copyright.PENANATyD0iHirHF
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."809Please respect copyright.PENANANM13uybki4
Carly looked down at her809Please respect copyright.PENANAaSdvsqnLFb
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 809Please respect copyright.PENANAUg3QCur3bM
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."809Please respect copyright.PENANAChxuToq7q6
"And so as I," came the male voice.809Please respect copyright.PENANA6wlfVv7JSk
Eric soon appeared 809Please respect copyright.PENANAzGMQbl2HqB
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 809Please respect copyright.PENANAaQe3sboKAG
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 809Please respect copyright.PENANAq0o3FHG9sh
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAKfLKUz8etX
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAsYPrlT1kqb
"You don't worry, she's 809Please respect copyright.PENANAvYFJHQKjum
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 809Please respect copyright.PENANAGCi7BzFLmA
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."809Please respect copyright.PENANAmW0A3faeW3
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."809Please respect copyright.PENANAAUbFsfjIzE
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAZH6jc0nWyl
Carly and Eric looked at809Please respect copyright.PENANA0rghnGmcM1
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 809Please respect copyright.PENANAAaGOYAffbJ
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.809Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0q3P8PRzj
"It's good to see you 809Please respect copyright.PENANAAAjq94dtpe
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to809Please respect copyright.PENANAfyKX9qnEWX
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."809Please respect copyright.PENANA8wKISnizjK
Angel saw the doctor 809Please respect copyright.PENANAcUMMtMwa6I
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 809Please respect copyright.PENANAItU9jDG2Cj
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 809Please respect copyright.PENANARMQJWgtT7N
rest was exactly what she needed.809Please respect copyright.PENANAX2XqAp1isQ
***809Please respect copyright.PENANAJmyOfz5mLS
A809Please respect copyright.PENANAL5MoymANE8
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 809Please respect copyright.PENANALpcjCsuSpG
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 809Please respect copyright.PENANAGKthYFTD3t
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 809Please respect copyright.PENANApAgzEtWh54
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 809Please respect copyright.PENANAXZtJNiZgQl
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.809Please respect copyright.PENANAYGXd06kDc5
As809Please respect copyright.PENANAWglIWlZnx8
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 809Please respect copyright.PENANAXGK6LOp2R3
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 809Please respect copyright.PENANAlpDIHlSQi1
have. But she pulled through anyway. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAMGFryUnrMT
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.809Please respect copyright.PENANAsLe3ZUnSLK
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAwcXOJvi8qa
Carly809Please respect copyright.PENANA7JOhUpxu8k
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had809Please respect copyright.PENANAjBkJOShdQu
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 809Please respect copyright.PENANAc9PoXLB3XR
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 809Please respect copyright.PENANA8OVW9t7yFO
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 809Please respect copyright.PENANAjhrmtQoCyQ
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 809Please respect copyright.PENANAUG3IrzIPBl
wouldn't say anything. 809Please respect copyright.PENANA2tckBGyw8y
Even809Please respect copyright.PENANArmUTvE2OqT
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 809Please respect copyright.PENANASARvOX762R
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 809Please respect copyright.PENANAHXLRlGFfpw
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was809Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwqN9M8Vz
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 809Please respect copyright.PENANAswPpsHpYEX
Angel kept her mouth shut.809Please respect copyright.PENANAqh3hU4Lti5
On809Please respect copyright.PENANAFytDJKYlKZ
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and809Please respect copyright.PENANA0rTyILwJIb
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 809Please respect copyright.PENANAI2Sm3bp3qP
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 809Please respect copyright.PENANAbe5dcA05Ro
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 809Please respect copyright.PENANA3rTqcvihAO
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over809Please respect copyright.PENANAWq89uC91ir
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 809Please respect copyright.PENANA2sYA6CVWGy
sometimes.809Please respect copyright.PENANAPiM5gODeeT
As809Please respect copyright.PENANAmailQoNy2T
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 809Please respect copyright.PENANAfnr6iRDHma
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.809Please respect copyright.PENANAmn9tGz3PPr
"Hello, there," said Eric.809Please respect copyright.PENANAr57Y0j35ex
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.809Please respect copyright.PENANA7cC7Tm5ytD
"Well,809Please respect copyright.PENANAkN8AB1d0p2
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 809Please respect copyright.PENANAvb5nWKsvXj
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 809Please respect copyright.PENANAn79ABeiqwK
basket of fruits.809Please respect copyright.PENANAk6FQeBQgZf
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.809Please respect copyright.PENANAVSMAiw30KG
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."809Please respect copyright.PENANAkTp5UyfGZH
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAKWccMsSr23
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.809Please respect copyright.PENANA7ddvfU4Za7
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.809Please respect copyright.PENANAGvgrVjAtCE
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.809Please respect copyright.PENANAksCvMkh3Fk
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAlslLWAi8uV
"I'll be right back," said Carly809Please respect copyright.PENANAzdM50BVeJC
Eric809Please respect copyright.PENANA13gpoPIS6r
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 809Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ATMdacLf
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.809Please respect copyright.PENANAHLXVnVGTks
"I809Please respect copyright.PENANAqN8HIlN0PB
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of809Please respect copyright.PENANA0dfXtPMg1K
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 809Please respect copyright.PENANA9VbEJY7uVY
right?"809Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tvm5pFIll
Angel nodded.809Please respect copyright.PENANAi9Q65kW26f
Eric809Please respect copyright.PENANAOcEicnW8PE
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 809Please respect copyright.PENANAJ036F1nSGP
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."809Please respect copyright.PENANAA0IO85FWyV
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANA56rJqbbfpQ
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have809Please respect copyright.PENANAcO9iwrNH7s
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 809Please respect copyright.PENANANLkmeGU7FT
worse?809Please respect copyright.PENANAMloYy6VbrU
"But809Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8pqdtqRKU
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 809Please respect copyright.PENANAlw6f83JR6r
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 809Please respect copyright.PENANA0KCl5RjynO
mouth.809Please respect copyright.PENANALjQTsGXX1F
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAbrD1EVgWXN
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 809Please respect copyright.PENANA6bf3CoMmB4
"That's809Please respect copyright.PENANA2F4Mri34fO
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 809Please respect copyright.PENANA4OHINDowfl
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 809Please respect copyright.PENANAiFRcgURswC
eyebrows. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAUHlsiMRLaU
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."809Please respect copyright.PENANAroAR2Clojg
Eric809Please respect copyright.PENANAZmTL0DllQx
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know809Please respect copyright.PENANABt1C1nQ5kn
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 809Please respect copyright.PENANA22LtBTviCo
dreaming.809Please respect copyright.PENANA9REyV0h95K
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.809Please respect copyright.PENANAqxcXZ01Ooq
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.809Please respect copyright.PENANAZwFMAwXttA
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."809Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ws40V98e2
"I809Please respect copyright.PENANAn3M53wha6G
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 809Please respect copyright.PENANALq0LEZH7bB
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 809Please respect copyright.PENANADY1CvhlOsR
quiet was the only way to keep calm."809Please respect copyright.PENANACAeEtL0OEU
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."809Please respect copyright.PENANASAdVWTSZwy
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."809Please respect copyright.PENANAqvYdYO5M7E
"Thanks, for what?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAAtO4ugiIdg
"For809Please respect copyright.PENANAq2sbCIKh3b
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 809Please respect copyright.PENANARCxX71qd2J
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a809Please respect copyright.PENANAfjiSyZzhaE
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."809Please respect copyright.PENANAQPnSpMc0I8
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."809Please respect copyright.PENANAOnQfHXFyUv
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANAEmbHbzrhva
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 809Please respect copyright.PENANAwtGH5HAjiQ
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAHPtHe8Iv3g
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."809Please respect copyright.PENANALLTGIqpvzd
"The....809Please respect copyright.PENANADfVPtUUocG
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 809Please respect copyright.PENANADMK2g3dLmF
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 809Please respect copyright.PENANA6o99fxDu1k
mother's death and then nothing."809Please respect copyright.PENANA27C4eJGLrw
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"809Please respect copyright.PENANA0rUZ7XHKR5
"I809Please respect copyright.PENANAIiaWL2DeUp
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 809Please respect copyright.PENANAXOMppz6wSU
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 809Please respect copyright.PENANAn6GgzQf41A
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 809Please respect copyright.PENANAmJNk1aw9bQ
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 809Please respect copyright.PENANAnbLqUGluba
do you know who did it?"809Please respect copyright.PENANACfGhCIljdv
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."809Please respect copyright.PENANAtDjyrDKaeb
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAWjViocnhcW
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAWtpGUqBEDW
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2KRwLtU6d
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."809Please respect copyright.PENANAvSk2pmkr86
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."809Please respect copyright.PENANAgSqNUOOqse
"No,809Please respect copyright.PENANAGV6JEH3Fog
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 809Please respect copyright.PENANAoLPLjfPHbU
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 809Please respect copyright.PENANAdwRR7x7ae5
Carly."809Please respect copyright.PENANAeFeSqMdOtQ
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAIVsI2Jmsli
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."809Please respect copyright.PENANA8mYi8RGNYq
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."809Please respect copyright.PENANAWEVSUlrBLV
"Coming809Please respect copyright.PENANA1XO622RP0L
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 809Please respect copyright.PENANAl8mJLaeMJl
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."809Please respect copyright.PENANAPyL4dFPhEs
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANAjWdKPiUavn
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked809Please respect copyright.PENANAcOj02r48gs
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.809Please respect copyright.PENANAcwAobbMNtK
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 809Please respect copyright.PENANADJlb3sWnEm
"I...809Please respect copyright.PENANAoys68zx8fV
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 809Please respect copyright.PENANA5tgsktUDie
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."809Please respect copyright.PENANApEEKDdK9z0
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAnuAjeKs2uJ
"How do you know that?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAVw9XMjAiPQ
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."809Please respect copyright.PENANAmBOOyHPoKM
Eric809Please respect copyright.PENANAXFaqyW21B9
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 809Please respect copyright.PENANAuUSJ0R2QyK
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."809Please respect copyright.PENANAAqRr5nb0E8
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"809Please respect copyright.PENANAfjLKWV8HHp
"You're right."809Please respect copyright.PENANATHG0JsTAie
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."809Please respect copyright.PENANAMW0HLr0DEd
"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."809Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ6FLMQmmN
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.809Please respect copyright.PENANAbOe1FxOAWv
"I'm809Please respect copyright.PENANAy8h0QtSg2L
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 809Please respect copyright.PENANAwUB7fR9WFo
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 809Please respect copyright.PENANAsySI4bNtuV
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."809Please respect copyright.PENANA9N65OVMZ00
Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANAPotmtMrpRT
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 809Please respect copyright.PENANAAHLlyeLrzC
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 809Please respect copyright.PENANAym4W0h5QYn
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.809Please respect copyright.PENANAAuBmL0mXk1
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."809Please respect copyright.PENANAQiGnfyCpoM
"What things?"809Please respect copyright.PENANA2CuJvxXoc0
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."809Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Qucou25i
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."809Please respect copyright.PENANAByWrawktlR
"You're sure?"809Please respect copyright.PENANA4u2i5L77Mj
"Of course, please do so, Eric."809Please respect copyright.PENANAnOEF4Lws6N
Eric809Please respect copyright.PENANAbmOJnwdMi8
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 809Please respect copyright.PENANAcC2XT01Dg4
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 809Please respect copyright.PENANA61xCZtpofh
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 809Please respect copyright.PENANAxV22iGbJhZ
of a person living the good life.809Please respect copyright.PENANAkP2WlAWQio
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"809Please respect copyright.PENANApKhTCy2Aqf
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 809Please respect copyright.PENANARHN7XWWvAV
"I'm809Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Osn3eFw7
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 809Please respect copyright.PENANAQRHNytfeNc
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 809Please respect copyright.PENANA1AbBGU4VRh
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.809Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1SB0axgHb
"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."809Please respect copyright.PENANA3GdqKroZaA
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel809Please respect copyright.PENANAZnt8NSgw0l
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAFYrplIbAEv
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 809Please respect copyright.PENANAyNZRfZ9JMg
stand her sister after everything.809Please respect copyright.PENANAiaLZen22BG
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."809Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Cdf7Gewe
"Sorry809Please respect copyright.PENANAeqa8mqtngq
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 809Please respect copyright.PENANALRjFYnVqBV
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."809Please respect copyright.PENANAtih2kg6Dt4
At809Please respect copyright.PENANALuSawxrKqe
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 809Please respect copyright.PENANAqLWaMrtxpA
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 809Please respect copyright.PENANARsW5e7Tv88
was starting to like this man already. 809Please respect copyright.PENANA1pOWMKyxVv
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.809Please respect copyright.PENANAvFz8X2HGDr
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."809Please respect copyright.PENANAO8qU7NkR3R
"Thank you."809Please respect copyright.PENANAgIAGT9wl56
"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."809Please respect copyright.PENANAgkYvncp2nv
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.809Please respect copyright.PENANAmeqGk6QEuI
"Well,809Please respect copyright.PENANAuF9PZILRk7
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.809Please respect copyright.PENANAIZngWms3Iq
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAMbXK5Y1y6s
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 809Please respect copyright.PENANAHbBNuY7ieG
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 809Please respect copyright.PENANAGXkJbFa10Q
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."809Please respect copyright.PENANApyt7qZTMuw
"I hope you agree to it,809Please respect copyright.PENANAKciie5a6y7
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 809Please respect copyright.PENANAzsO4Yi2wfU
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.809Please respect copyright.PENANA8jdzb81RHp
Angel turned to face Mr 809Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZQGCHViSc
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 809Please respect copyright.PENANA7PSSl1NVCW
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 809Please respect copyright.PENANAnqXuUElTiE
coming.809Please respect copyright.PENANA47yJkUdTL6
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
