Angel's eyes flew 846Please respect copyright.PENANAHQf7ZHQi9v
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 846Please respect copyright.PENANAyhoLlBsopj
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 846Please respect copyright.PENANAJatPcP20gq
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 846Please respect copyright.PENANApf5kvp48cR
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAFRQIY25q7k
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.846Please respect copyright.PENANAg6fdlNXmBW
Angel quickly stood 846Please respect copyright.PENANAptXJGCAdmw
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.846Please respect copyright.PENANAvvPVQbfRSx
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 846Please respect copyright.PENANAhEGVSgcNoI
dumb not to have realised it sooner.846Please respect copyright.PENANAXNOUT4wlYT
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.846Please respect copyright.PENANAau07iiZ9yW
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.846Please respect copyright.PENANA2UMEGtRXO9
Angel closed her eyes846Please respect copyright.PENANAtu2cE2oV04
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 846Please respect copyright.PENANAjzdDpoAsEu
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.846Please respect copyright.PENANAciFBN287CV
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAKyCArtbkUf
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."846Please respect copyright.PENANAZw62VI39mR
"What do you mean?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAmROLGxqGNp
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."846Please respect copyright.PENANANzsgTkb0aN
"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?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAkpDJM6OKKZ
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANADib427KE09
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.846Please respect copyright.PENANA8TMSHa9jdE
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."846Please respect copyright.PENANAUUENY2tPkt
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."846Please respect copyright.PENANABsoLFCjJUj
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANAwZvvQK8Xa1
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA3uqiOE1e9e
Angel's mother gave 846Please respect copyright.PENANAsUxSF2qZM4
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 846Please respect copyright.PENANAoEv0orsJdg
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer846Please respect copyright.PENANAzaC663ghfz
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more846Please respect copyright.PENANAJjctE4mkLn
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 846Please respect copyright.PENANAmTDbiffKFx
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 846Please respect copyright.PENANAtEDcDo81vF
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."846Please respect copyright.PENANAuNaOq8ttmZ
"You know I already gave you my word."846Please respect copyright.PENANAz1E3ukUQw1
"And I know that 846Please respect copyright.PENANA40sUarovYR
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 846Please respect copyright.PENANAQRlG1dz117
please try to be patient with her, okay?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAEkaDxzjKZW
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.846Please respect copyright.PENANAY2htUfZAVX
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.846Please respect copyright.PENANAm4cc8Vxpqg
"Mum, wait, don't 846Please respect copyright.PENANAHY8u1Mc6t6
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 846Please respect copyright.PENANAjbiGk8Rgz8
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 846Please respect copyright.PENANALocTgGQK98
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 846Please respect copyright.PENANA9lm3jvrNLV
between them even bigger.846Please respect copyright.PENANATCGGHXmwn5
And then all of the 846Please respect copyright.PENANAPMlS3W3Hlb
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her846Please respect copyright.PENANAL0tcvQdWKY
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.846Please respect copyright.PENANAbr9GonbYtG
***846Please respect copyright.PENANAn5ZlW7BbGQ
It846Please respect copyright.PENANARAW78uQ39r
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 846Please respect copyright.PENANABhL0ccr2X0
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 846Please respect copyright.PENANAsD65ngaqjB
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 846Please respect copyright.PENANADB0hOJ2vd7
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 846Please respect copyright.PENANAru8xn9tS07
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a846Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9JJlc19DL
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 846Please respect copyright.PENANAao70AeJAqz
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 846Please respect copyright.PENANAZQIe4tdsXC
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 846Please respect copyright.PENANAfIFeBoEjma
was the ceiling above her.846Please respect copyright.PENANAMxKcDnItg0
Angel's846Please respect copyright.PENANAHb7VkzpCP6
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 846Please respect copyright.PENANAwbC1kCtXqx
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 846Please respect copyright.PENANAJBqKRRUqBb
her sister's voice.846Please respect copyright.PENANAEjaqr3jCr2
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 846Please respect copyright.PENANAgnkt0AVRMJ
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANAlEd8wmZ4B5
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 846Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Ju7aV7nk
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 846Please respect copyright.PENANAZkA7z2atrG
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 846Please respect copyright.PENANAvH5GeqORiK
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.846Please respect copyright.PENANAbj9eLGp351
"Please,846Please respect copyright.PENANAbbIDq7qDjO
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to846Please respect copyright.PENANA0J3Dke3hwu
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.846Please respect copyright.PENANARJdBR8FSPM
"I'm846Please respect copyright.PENANA6vGyTA3Vs8
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 846Please respect copyright.PENANACrncwNSNeP
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process846Please respect copyright.PENANA6f7hLKndTE
everything at the moment.846Please respect copyright.PENANABSXzBffW30
Carly's846Please respect copyright.PENANA7eUQYQPidk
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 846Please respect copyright.PENANA31IEGZq9aZ
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 846Please respect copyright.PENANAo75s7V5Rpc
showed it all. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAXv29HYPdWG
"I846Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uw9PGxSK6
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 846Please respect copyright.PENANAaMoOzuvjCW
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."846Please respect copyright.PENANAcNrAYtZWH7
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANAAtp5XBrYIx
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears846Please respect copyright.PENANAKWqMJdE6LJ
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 846Please respect copyright.PENANAECIpH9uYsN
with remorse and her body ached even more.846Please respect copyright.PENANA4sA6xTTDZs
"I'm846Please respect copyright.PENANAb2hVApLGAn
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 846Please respect copyright.PENANAY733nffF8K
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 846Please respect copyright.PENANAY2UnIs99SW
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 846Please respect copyright.PENANASENIEfuTsi
forgive me too."846Please respect copyright.PENANASF7FRiSYqP
A846Please respect copyright.PENANAA6ExCsR2EH
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 846Please respect copyright.PENANAxHLEADAmj0
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly846Please respect copyright.PENANACszZSyy8vn
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 846Please respect copyright.PENANA6AjfoXmz2Z
footsteps. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAIP66mKgiic
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.846Please respect copyright.PENANAZANt6WkLsE
"Well,846Please respect copyright.PENANAwv7P2o8jAr
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 846Please respect copyright.PENANAUwpRkxtrZb
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 846Please respect copyright.PENANAbToT6naKMA
revive her."846Please respect copyright.PENANAg9McVadiAr
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAAhljFDJZ4d
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."846Please respect copyright.PENANAw80eDfSnaX
Carly looked down at her846Please respect copyright.PENANAE9nMdHLkXw
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 846Please respect copyright.PENANAUKcsyjtTwo
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."846Please respect copyright.PENANAqnKNhSoxIS
"And so as I," came the male voice.846Please respect copyright.PENANADN9tf2lnAB
Eric soon appeared 846Please respect copyright.PENANAzVp8L54s13
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdjpuvtXcfD
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 846Please respect copyright.PENANAhCooggcXud
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA1TVfQsqPOr
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAn6sTdtSL45
"You don't worry, she's 846Please respect copyright.PENANAVYIuvNf6fA
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 846Please respect copyright.PENANA3tHcQZx8y7
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."846Please respect copyright.PENANAkCCqzQqOgy
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."846Please respect copyright.PENANAE3XjXFwZJr
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA3erULu8S2B
Carly and Eric looked at846Please respect copyright.PENANA7vACtf0GmQ
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 846Please respect copyright.PENANAXoUXQUQ02v
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.846Please respect copyright.PENANAmoQy3TOh9Q
"It's good to see you 846Please respect copyright.PENANAx73T6fsU3l
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to846Please respect copyright.PENANAqH3QcCDouM
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."846Please respect copyright.PENANAc93O1zYPKX
Angel saw the doctor 846Please respect copyright.PENANAuzmaDpHys1
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 846Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ljk0AgFkv
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 846Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z4vSowCNW
rest was exactly what she needed.846Please respect copyright.PENANAgY3EDV9w7V
***846Please respect copyright.PENANAppAoph3Num
A846Please respect copyright.PENANAj4zbcnXwKT
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 846Please respect copyright.PENANAh6kMpe2yeO
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 846Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDdDt58mc
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 846Please respect copyright.PENANApa6yUykp5t
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 846Please respect copyright.PENANAZfBowTOoJF
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.846Please respect copyright.PENANAmML4taQm9H
As846Please respect copyright.PENANAuja3IlYcea
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 846Please respect copyright.PENANASViVq6hhGG
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 846Please respect copyright.PENANAUw8F2q6XzQ
have. But she pulled through anyway. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA2nuEO8IaN8
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.846Please respect copyright.PENANAK1UU2PyPpD
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA16L4KHHPAl
Carly846Please respect copyright.PENANACFR74kRhOG
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had846Please respect copyright.PENANA3gcNwjdBtB
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 846Please respect copyright.PENANAANNzsB9AM7
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 846Please respect copyright.PENANAtuiwLnlQkL
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 846Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0VTTsEd8g
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdh2Uvby3jH
wouldn't say anything. 846Please respect copyright.PENANACzAgsl7hYQ
Even846Please respect copyright.PENANAp8nI68P4bd
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdVqc2hz3Lt
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 846Please respect copyright.PENANArt7KJ1D4my
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was846Please respect copyright.PENANAQiv2dxup7P
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 846Please respect copyright.PENANA2x1Ea26eR5
Angel kept her mouth shut.846Please respect copyright.PENANAF8H1fMmx4P
On846Please respect copyright.PENANAiSSaSsRvjw
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and846Please respect copyright.PENANAaS3zsX6g5W
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 846Please respect copyright.PENANAxw26AsEpHt
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 846Please respect copyright.PENANAhhLjigiwKL
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 846Please respect copyright.PENANA3vQ98qKq8A
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over846Please respect copyright.PENANAY0HimxhG3Y
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 846Please respect copyright.PENANApB8VBvnOKw
sometimes.846Please respect copyright.PENANAdPLBynnN4h
As846Please respect copyright.PENANAUV9xo9euvB
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 846Please respect copyright.PENANAsQKpxg12WV
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.846Please respect copyright.PENANAEqbN3mvstS
"Hello, there," said Eric.846Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bvqu8p2BB
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.846Please respect copyright.PENANAQBSOjyjiRG
"Well,846Please respect copyright.PENANAPU1gak3HXm
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 846Please respect copyright.PENANAvK6J76jHFy
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 846Please respect copyright.PENANAYDvuweZPM3
basket of fruits.846Please respect copyright.PENANAnXPnJxgIFd
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.846Please respect copyright.PENANA4qafqoDuk3
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."846Please respect copyright.PENANALpkKmOxrKL
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAtK3vAIZLkJ
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.846Please respect copyright.PENANAr9zSE5Q900
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.846Please respect copyright.PENANAfTYXiYKsD9
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.846Please respect copyright.PENANApnv8gW38Zx
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAiyXP8eSja3
"I'll be right back," said Carly846Please respect copyright.PENANAsdsPcwe1JU
Eric846Please respect copyright.PENANAy6myKfN6Ag
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 846Please respect copyright.PENANAzPxbSvCiOb
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.846Please respect copyright.PENANAR5XvQxugFr
"I846Please respect copyright.PENANAMLunq52EHU
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of846Please respect copyright.PENANAmZEeUXXXxR
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 846Please respect copyright.PENANAxkO5mV1vMx
right?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA5kekvLapeR
Angel nodded.846Please respect copyright.PENANASa0laNrtex
Eric846Please respect copyright.PENANA1oULx2i4iW
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 846Please respect copyright.PENANAq92qwuD0EY
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."846Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Adun0aJZ
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANAjGhAuIuxSd
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have846Please respect copyright.PENANAUFufP1ARra
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 846Please respect copyright.PENANAzzrwimz3Zp
worse?846Please respect copyright.PENANAN2pjX9eirY
"But846Please respect copyright.PENANAkzblSjeTvF
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 846Please respect copyright.PENANAOYLQLFlH8r
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 846Please respect copyright.PENANA0fJJsqNAbW
mouth.846Please respect copyright.PENANAHpwYqSL1h8
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"846Please respect copyright.PENANADkD8d8R02m
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA5tUQ3aP9aQ
"That's846Please respect copyright.PENANAD6EnhXo0Zj
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 846Please respect copyright.PENANACifERZrjJJ
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 846Please respect copyright.PENANAVz6XGEu4rT
eyebrows. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdmW06SUpoD
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."846Please respect copyright.PENANAvF0O9xC1nL
Eric846Please respect copyright.PENANA9VthT4c8o0
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know846Please respect copyright.PENANAWDCFzBLauc
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 846Please respect copyright.PENANAqQlsts0AhD
dreaming.846Please respect copyright.PENANANGbcgckAC6
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.846Please respect copyright.PENANAI4SPZMw9dk
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.846Please respect copyright.PENANAdzcisUZUEg
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."846Please respect copyright.PENANAF1lz7Kul4J
"I846Please respect copyright.PENANAi1iAg3lphA
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 846Please respect copyright.PENANAZsoOsAj6NT
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 846Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4KSJ7SuO
quiet was the only way to keep calm."846Please respect copyright.PENANAGt5npwkzE9
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."846Please respect copyright.PENANAW826sLSVoK
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."846Please respect copyright.PENANA5mhu11RHoM
"Thanks, for what?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAHUHJSKg2UR
"For846Please respect copyright.PENANAWgiMQh4wI4
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 846Please respect copyright.PENANAAlzxWwxnLn
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a846Please respect copyright.PENANAiNqBTMrzwZ
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."846Please respect copyright.PENANAyJkeMXYwF3
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."846Please respect copyright.PENANAFodEz2wLLX
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDhSyaQYA
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 846Please respect copyright.PENANAdF4cvImy6h
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAGeg8MQNH9N
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."846Please respect copyright.PENANAuyrodVdWV3
"The....846Please respect copyright.PENANAyAV1Mi3rFE
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 846Please respect copyright.PENANAtkOLO0ZQpc
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 846Please respect copyright.PENANAE2z3kNtaRf
mother's death and then nothing."846Please respect copyright.PENANAk3lvIDCZ6T
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"846Please respect copyright.PENANARRUEMSoF1N
"I846Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ezyoa5hFB
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 846Please respect copyright.PENANAAa2UuIv1Pc
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 846Please respect copyright.PENANA2DWJJ6ruT3
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 846Please respect copyright.PENANA8bkmlq1CZy
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 846Please respect copyright.PENANAChefxesTnj
do you know who did it?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAFpoXIbfF91
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."846Please respect copyright.PENANAWWnNfXgb31
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"846Please respect copyright.PENANARVZzz7R776
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAEJmhnUe2GW
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAFcJ7kLVOiW
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."846Please respect copyright.PENANAZzPl8Om5vw
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."846Please respect copyright.PENANAYxzSKcy5Nq
"No,846Please respect copyright.PENANACRGjP4kfSd
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 846Please respect copyright.PENANAQrRo3LX7m8
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 846Please respect copyright.PENANAvfKVF3ZXXk
Carly."846Please respect copyright.PENANAhPSfbOWPuC
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA08Bcz9sdVJ
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."846Please respect copyright.PENANAKxSsbT4OpW
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."846Please respect copyright.PENANA02zJKki02r
"Coming846Please respect copyright.PENANAaGl5DE397A
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 846Please respect copyright.PENANAOJrRMfJchs
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."846Please respect copyright.PENANApFt8ddQrhC
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGn1s0eD7
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked846Please respect copyright.PENANA7VcEn11hkw
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.846Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hj9ZKNPG1
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAeWjf2xBkfU
"I...846Please respect copyright.PENANAOGlBozrIF2
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 846Please respect copyright.PENANA2ahcjejOT7
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."846Please respect copyright.PENANAW34a4LlO3a
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAFkEuU3iHhB
"How do you know that?"846Please respect copyright.PENANApaUtQZvS1f
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."846Please respect copyright.PENANAljZ9YdzzLC
Eric846Please respect copyright.PENANA8QySW1r0pr
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 846Please respect copyright.PENANAu1kUyXdl86
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."846Please respect copyright.PENANAzgcRP7rB4e
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"846Please respect copyright.PENANANN7rArVWkC
"You're right."846Please respect copyright.PENANAxCClRJcOG6
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."846Please respect copyright.PENANAHF4xXMAQ5m
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANAwCPtDHhh6N
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.846Please respect copyright.PENANA2N5P3scoUs
"I'm846Please respect copyright.PENANAnQd1IGrREK
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 846Please respect copyright.PENANAvIx9MnX6wh
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 846Please respect copyright.PENANAPcYwMawE1t
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."846Please respect copyright.PENANAvDOtjwwRlb
Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANA8YyK64iMuo
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 846Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZAJRfKuWD
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 846Please respect copyright.PENANADHv2q7dW0A
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.846Please respect copyright.PENANAWfuU5jGm5S
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."846Please respect copyright.PENANAAhApAyRhYe
"What things?"846Please respect copyright.PENANABa6f9rwtJF
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."846Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1CqEZ82pB
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."846Please respect copyright.PENANA74dqFnp4Ze
"You're sure?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAwcx4doHUIU
"Of course, please do so, Eric."846Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6xXf037Iu
Eric846Please respect copyright.PENANAq4KRatmbS0
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 846Please respect copyright.PENANAe5aR4pLH0t
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 846Please respect copyright.PENANAesplsvcQaf
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 846Please respect copyright.PENANAN2JumCCaeG
of a person living the good life.846Please respect copyright.PENANAaFGvdbyWWs
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAIFXx3wRa5t
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7oK1yGSyj
"I'm846Please respect copyright.PENANAOqzwg35abv
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 846Please respect copyright.PENANA1aCj6hvQy9
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 846Please respect copyright.PENANA2PxnXNyAiV
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.846Please respect copyright.PENANAqCqBKXNGXl
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANA33f8X8K2R4
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel846Please respect copyright.PENANAbSM603opLD
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAiJYqdZuzxv
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 846Please respect copyright.PENANAH3GHIlAvzF
stand her sister after everything.846Please respect copyright.PENANAu9r6wgqnqg
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."846Please respect copyright.PENANAYMwoT1e0TH
"Sorry846Please respect copyright.PENANAJoV7h3uIHY
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 846Please respect copyright.PENANAn3yyLTpFzR
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."846Please respect copyright.PENANAlKJ1FKx7B9
At846Please respect copyright.PENANAZOfwQyzBeM
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 846Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ2CehzFRo
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 846Please respect copyright.PENANAPdtuoEyBhq
was starting to like this man already. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAKNrhbesM2f
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.846Please respect copyright.PENANAv4QBFMw5DA
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."846Please respect copyright.PENANAIj5PeLC7vu
"Thank you."846Please respect copyright.PENANAc6xssvbx4Y
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANARurGDyb86M
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.846Please respect copyright.PENANAhvogM4hOLk
"Well,846Please respect copyright.PENANAXIzOLuIjAx
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.846Please respect copyright.PENANAIXVXhnSZbu
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ6thQsPgK
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 846Please respect copyright.PENANA6dNzsspbZf
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 846Please respect copyright.PENANAlIKBIjJibW
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."846Please respect copyright.PENANAuhL9OWZOzV
"I hope you agree to it,846Please respect copyright.PENANAUEgvZCGurX
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 846Please respect copyright.PENANATY47BYPpBA
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.846Please respect copyright.PENANAITYUk1Nns1
Angel turned to face Mr 846Please respect copyright.PENANAUkKng9ZOhx
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 846Please respect copyright.PENANAweONndADQN
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 846Please respect copyright.PENANAshXAXWcVPq
coming.846Please respect copyright.PENANAVmOMFdYgVN
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
