Angel's eyes flew 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktZ4dGMuvk
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xg4AkHsJM
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb8HMTqqpE
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB0OTGPrOT
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCsyvPkEzX
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdstY8LbeMu
Angel quickly stood 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cenyni6YT
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdeHIl2oM
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKlnfrMtMv
dumb not to have realised it sooner.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgQB0iXKot
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczK0vVzTl6
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K8N9lr2HW
Angel closed her eyes926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuNCV5S5WV
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4reCWLCbBF
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm73jICp3hh
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbVSiy47mm
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorWwIXQKvK
"What do you mean?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlUOLkXqLm
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfJ26FHiRu
"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?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEi37Furw
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmzvzvYfrE
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0xZptG9kU
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLftLLV32
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DkuhiS7nk
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F9lSGqmxG
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGQESKTUs
Angel's mother gave 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSgytaJhWZ
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yug6fIrnK
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWyLGCg5Kt
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSgifmNYI
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf75wwKl5Z
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1yIU9nRM8
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6HgFb40O
"You know I already gave you my word."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ5pmFChbJ
"And I know that 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nj7y3AXBq
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXu0HeHZWE
please try to be patient with her, okay?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidU03l5uAh
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra5lYb7X6k
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPOSNJt8Qn
"Mum, wait, don't 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMiIXCfyO
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hpWEBaPIY
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CAyoUCPUj
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ie0VoggEE
between them even bigger.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6AzNDFrYO
And then all of the 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq0GsJ5H8g
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqydN0cmob
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW62fLnW846
***926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SvSrvRp31
It926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EJW86cf1x
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQFNv3cBIm
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq82C2Tan1
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0YOL0XyDZ
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2AL1KfeJu
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdfJKwphuj
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYHmCR550o
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BLk1S5Xx
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t0dzChGxv
was the ceiling above her.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MPZtOaV7
Angel's926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7vEtUpBnb
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB3EyFIKPD
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG0zifJ0FV
her sister's voice.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKqlSJM2Uv
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjSCRZ7xJ5
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NDZfWrkVy
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojvZW74EF
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHT8Owelc2
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh64UZqnhG7
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5Q78VBZE
"Please,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgU57fuLOI
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYTIzJeS70
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡait3TYOgnk
"I'm926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7uJXVHVUM
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX8sRPftnr
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztV6ivNvna
everything at the moment.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xyQAHu8p
Carly's926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV68lN4mIeu
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9FkB6Eyc7
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzszqWDuaoU
showed it all. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHde3MRAkUP
"I926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Vy11VqcX
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVDFEdWI2A
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQefogE2eU
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNEJaXFULc
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR3HVZnTEs
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmrFzdLu93
with remorse and her body ached even more.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GgNX0DMl
"I'm926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxl2wxaZVP
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xgEhu6LvD
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw60lZJrDG
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYneIhZFC2z
forgive me too."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6i78sMpxk
A926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvlIt76PgZ
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyRw3AVOHn
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx5qIL3wyv
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPGeD6Q71A
footsteps. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9KFMNo4b
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VrsjaG7Bk
"Well,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjIkWQhAW7
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T790rhjt8
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLbaZXvVN
revive her."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Kvj9oiw4
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz0q5jxmEI
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVGfs92wSF
Carly looked down at her926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDeFa2P1Tc
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L52C0GDGW
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEVNKmV4FH
"And so as I," came the male voice.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyFicXNoE
Eric soon appeared 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOukqrmMEn
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0QVsjs48
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptOrPAMBTw
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GBTIgU1wD
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRkvEoA0k
"You don't worry, she's 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphnu7f5GG5
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23ElPDDrB
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHp6PDxbT
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECNdtBW11z
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKImu2h6qLu
Carly and Eric looked at926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjtgJLIFs
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvXFTD7sn2
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ITY2wUYh
"It's good to see you 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBqSSl8QOu
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicDmbkLMRb
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CY23ZHKdC
Angel saw the doctor 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDREOXBK6
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvEnLPQrPM
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5SGdSPJcO
rest was exactly what she needed.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSrElU7br
***926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EmUhpYOg
A926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTJZAyuMAz
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArTCy0hoTB
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PwoV9CxrN
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GVjylmqkv
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhXpKe0FrN
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbaTSdWbFG
As926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4fkwKMUjf
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTXOaByUUK
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ38QbjJWB
have. But she pulled through anyway. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUWLGwQpI
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRgu6amw4x
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgGkKFhGPD
Carly926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnIZKqFqd6
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfZecCRK6x
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ior0gDkXl
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzuZDWX0fw
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dc9qld15w
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0485iNzli
wouldn't say anything. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5gtajC4J
Even926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI93ylnj71
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Q4GYS6pY
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugSBoljJka
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHkKFMi3pH
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzrKnI6nm
Angel kept her mouth shut.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDzGsEHqI
On926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7iXS650y
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AyRZ86VQP
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq8577WhQN
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLO71biyJ1
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51cmWfvxjR
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P8PG6ozSP
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeBbljEww6
sometimes.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEhNNqgAnQ
As926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH99y7IpN8
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRquCV8Dqf
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTQCJtSYjG
"Hello, there," said Eric.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPzTXOPci
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqlp22bxa
"Well,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdD5OWwmtr
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv755Z15vLM
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz0gWPOM9V
basket of fruits.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjcLXUswYQ
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxHUygo3k6
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEDUF3ZLsd
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHiqQFpyi
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWkQfKmQyK
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMIIl80BpS
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFTICu7e96
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInq3yGspJk
"I'll be right back," said Carly926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5phqrH5YQy
Eric926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszuENbGL6s
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjDrjs9mTf
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHtkPAnz5A
"I926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9IBxrQJxK
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkn8mOdYD7
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmAUQGzoK
right?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26B9IheBCh
Angel nodded.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHXbg7yuTN
Eric926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxIkEJIAh
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQkrkpgxsS
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0PQoAhJw
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZjAqJA6SI
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfatrOrZq
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5EPu7w0P
worse?926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wD8piOup5
"But926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuIQxe0PN
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZPW0Z1tK
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LsqlYsxa
mouth.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJjTRjJ0k
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUQtiSZuv
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jj4wkNiWx
"That's926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqFOFSHcrj
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSlPLEYRE3
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTxI4wTp9
eyebrows. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVh4hNVetU
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbDiDohv0y
Eric926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX5hhrGDtL
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAA7Bg3uA1
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WSGFhM5U4
dreaming.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYakluNPUE
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZ2yDXS4s
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKFrOO6D5S
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK0o4LjXHR
"I926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt50r835X0V
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEdSBZQhqO
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3XBA153mh
quiet was the only way to keep calm."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZrms3702k
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazLnx7Ac1v
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLRtGM9v2w
"Thanks, for what?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7zWE9MCFC
"For926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKTLbNJVD4
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKey8E7Ryl
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5kyaKEBTZ
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRzmDWikE
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0XFcWCSd
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCv6qWWQNK
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lwsZO8DeE
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTCaeguRh5
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCs5GQoEn
"The....926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmM5U7QMXH
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqdTv2tGN
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttnqmezFL
mother's death and then nothing."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz4vlcczeg
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkZhwmCbul
"I926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxN3orfpw1
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CogmFpi5j
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArZIaJY8n
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTKOWoXkzx
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvMJIaTWii
do you know who did it?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsiJNT3wG1
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9WnDklxcI
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY0J7eZwQb
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwTSaGX3Ll
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCTpzNvGZL
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3iW52OS3
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoGgkQh0l3
"No,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfxbMG77O
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ldKHfaei
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2WIq5yrxi
Carly."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4qAC0T3T
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIajDa3YF8l
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSv0ztq32p
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYPXcImxa
"Coming926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQQJM5maKA
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIHsK6q55
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4seM7RmyC
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22nGVHFNVk
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXkyW0aK6
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdROwOy6Pu
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3bG01HTY1
"I...926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLBYIA0Vqf
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSh1OW9YRL
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskAYXW8Udg
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GghSiisHG
"How do you know that?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb5TBysY3f
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi2atc7Ch5
Eric926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqrILP81xV
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4s1XlUn9
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x8wfVUBHy
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wpgcpOVVL
"You're right."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkx4cECfmG
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwHIkkaC6E
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60YsfMx11
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASK6mRYxvq
"I'm926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXjfNJUdWe
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0QiIua6bG
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0guCA9gQ
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38e4T9I3ps
Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDuExaYQv
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MuTomhKUr
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ys8WPsXN
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJWUKeZ2jl
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvTideydAm
"What things?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWkalUnkf
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ1ihsdByV
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjO24EuByU
"You're sure?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WTYwWIx1
"Of course, please do so, Eric."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphT685qNf
Eric926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6KV32ON64
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9i0ekoBxA
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NBKJEAyan
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQKm0RcOC
of a person living the good life.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfTU4ousSK
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0rirzchui
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCDFqoJy8h
"I'm926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDYyXaIE6Y
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3kRl5aV4r
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz1yX8w3wA
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOa5DgM69K
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CRetd9Bw
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQndgVMUc9
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJn4movOH
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgsKDkDPz
stand her sister after everything.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFHhP9yIwd
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1QgUPaniq
"Sorry926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHVr58ViLh
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdyrzuq2p
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrwSEkHcHy
At926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzuTkDO59E
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayv1eVfHJ
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAKl5Ht8n7
was starting to like this man already. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziNOo1guJ
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTaFqwlMpF
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNrdGKgtNJ
"Thank you."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEzTP7XiJq
"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."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnADbDi8vf6
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MMRSt7cMS
"Well,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfPn46Nw1
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahCDSqkBbj
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887LoOGkI2
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9TuTDHRmy
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSngc83XPT
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAWWavgjy
"I hope you agree to it,926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTwYGg1Y6
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BhpbGTl5w
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54aklc1Id
Angel turned to face Mr 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLlk69nhjc
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdbWaXu2Hz
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYRCICTdQ5
coming.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yVUAPDVVl
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
