Angel's eyes flew 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Egg4hqBY
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv4ZbrOqDX
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLbztDMZDm
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKWPQyfr1
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSnRWMTJeZ
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NEcxj7H13
Angel quickly stood 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAran1ozlj
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EjZytnkva
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY13h43P3fM
dumb not to have realised it sooner.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtk0wTom4z
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzVKRT2h2e
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0trwev6rE
Angel closed her eyes964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGYFL9Mh35
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGDNj8yP1R
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97HsvPcbq
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gH33eNWRU
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZexVkkAUJO
"What do you mean?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGPgpTzlQy
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWs0xbexYz
"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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV5fFcxmbP
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpNodKn1n
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7PMnSyVT9
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q3BSoBAuM
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYO2IOMA9p
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RklSytHY
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mvp8u7lNg
Angel's mother gave 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9gKO9VGY5
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fQMvjcqlg
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabfk3991Cn
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGFaJxVL1
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0npJ7MgUq
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZUOOfZDTV
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzznWhT0epi
"You know I already gave you my word."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo23go3ws4
"And I know that 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNvyQLbrZ7
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQmITLtaJb
please try to be patient with her, okay?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW0xLX0S9N
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeAxq0llOr
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpZWPqufT
"Mum, wait, don't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q1nag2Eex
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXGVOWwIOK
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLVIIUeyCI
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOz6s0kcVG
between them even bigger.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsaM7QlTjf
And then all of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJePU0HWVjT
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUODEf9mHh5
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku5LDpXjNz
***964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLZqsDqjt2
It964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3csFUUMY
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT6fFMjboa
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfEnfSpmDm
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNnBFKrSlQ
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdhNRcY8cR
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJHxiKjTjV
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUiBySnzZM
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLq6hYzS5m
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl70mB4UgRm
was the ceiling above her.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Zw0SA7l8
Angel's964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmORVMYQhxY
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54W6KQDIJb
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoh8vobJTV
her sister's voice.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30DhqSavWf
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZnfWxUIqW
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfoghaAeuh
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjOcrZ4eX4
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNrwkdkB3G
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMrK8b14f
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAngiKLgcNw
"Please,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNz4jj6YCB
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpz4OmOodt
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojikng45Ei
"I'm964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Km30RB99d
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDAnja60tD
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbypFq7fOg
everything at the moment.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zBb0toEP
Carly's964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkAoguKqkY
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYfJ9h78b
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLiVSTGM15
showed it all. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbVwRYAyNj
"I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwJ9oVArEp
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62LvXQLyPq
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YtIg5oo7E
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqFO6jyQ1d
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGTPLvrK2
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavAFqlUJH3
with remorse and her body ached even more.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsflDynZDAL
"I'm964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuMPha6R4Y
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKUsUAwqHG
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOKmbPsMg5
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJzfmCTpC
forgive me too."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q6i7ea6l9
A964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknYrDLDI6
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdndjy2zt
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKlJOpOu0
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMrGj152fO
footsteps. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp57sWId3Q
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSiCFFXTxI
"Well,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N507aXUIe
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CaNmzVEBy
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ7peM4D4V
revive her."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKthkjdi9Y
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyYVNaxUew
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwb42xH6fk
Carly looked down at her964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFCIX1oOwJ
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJr3OcdXJt
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cBEHxcxH
"And so as I," came the male voice.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfCA2vZCPE
Eric soon appeared 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D7BbIg1lL
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8n6GxcPmE
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdNRQPcMmq
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxLgDMQwOX
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRbGkeVOaN
"You don't worry, she's 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xon6iRRWQ
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPczYXRcNMl
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dGD6wIxmp
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFWuCCfdGk
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQrkcMjQN
Carly and Eric looked at964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgs7eERbzt
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqli4AXh0l
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuwh1kCmH6
"It's good to see you 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSGn0QfS7H
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs257HQCPXR
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLNOqc2cNS
Angel saw the doctor 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21C1ODNmXd
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLoEqm2hr
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb2XK8MMXc
rest was exactly what she needed.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcQCCyRGJK
***964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF92DewkvHa
A964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5z936vBo8
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyhw5ykMHV
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7F7YxCGO6
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx0oxnqVnL
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqy3gTnE16
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2m4IS5966
As964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWQaB1VGoU
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyKgQNUcoY
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXJpjrBj8A
have. But she pulled through anyway. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgqL3LIddN
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5w75wrjAw
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlSTWJbcRk
Carly964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O1TMMRt9i
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8pUuHB7VI
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18wRYRHjKo
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2xYwCUKaC
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCTM122Dr4
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngDRceqYeu
wouldn't say anything. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJib5FOmAB
Even964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSximGUciV
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcAyNDApCj
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQoY5Vic5n
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsC7xmzvuV
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFKM4nGebj
Angel kept her mouth shut.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP8ufrRf8f
On964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxxY96cICm
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4rSZt7QsM
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9ZSWmK5B
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAf4AY2KKd
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgpEafAoq
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNm1eruyJn
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv0gW7yAdM
sometimes.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPSPWf12uI
As964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFvMsbc1W
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kxms3QlZs
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzcM4d66Yy
"Hello, there," said Eric.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgG19NRRlE
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiIjxvIL0R
"Well,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliBvXrS2Pw
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7GSXQhfg
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhE09FdFW
basket of fruits.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIvVFmnpP6
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvugS1m14oN
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnDcxH0oH
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRgX7gnBRX
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPqz4NbkaD
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJeXhv20Ml
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nwGvw1O4
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi9NGFNkWm
"I'll be right back," said Carly964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3H912RpVm
Eric964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRTIKwonE
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiPosRmkFK
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRAhPDz9cw
"I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH52n2Paiv3
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG32xdsmROt
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHglL9g56if
right?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe7So9t6gy
Angel nodded.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W6G72Fg5O
Eric964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm3kkDxZ3a
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIykgPipoX
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdM7SvHTvE
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLtK4DWeiN
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH3Db4V2gx
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxD6lsv6G
worse?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWH1SXfg3m
"But964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0lP11264U
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYoIlGQ3r
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMQ4kBb9cP
mouth.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuLbTBsOQq
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hGujgehTX
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1UCpGITmG
"That's964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2gtjwBJJr
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhexAgVEFao
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01xofCHCQz
eyebrows. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY41ejmDeT
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcddg4RF9sb
Eric964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lKIA9dOV
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXChiw7SmT
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPJSwRGEil
dreaming.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheMdjH0JtN
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjx90ViFuf
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPPh14DetF
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2cpT3SDLE
"I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVL38qKBSH
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzJEc3tMcU
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlcEA9yytN
quiet was the only way to keep calm."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqIBnIOqtU
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1uPPEWABo
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNPYUscHim
"Thanks, for what?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgcat5SQ6
"For964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifbPTZpTOr
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpESibtOWIt
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpyd7mYxdM
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7FqmCFNj4
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXJgfsYcmJ
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6TVMtm9d
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWi0OCc72
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAsjmhw23w
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwLSt67q23
"The....964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZRWjwIPJK
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb2bLFlyBh
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ljg8aZOQv
mother's death and then nothing."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwuIyxezPI
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj2ym4zOP4
"I964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zsXQzVKi
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2svd95TfSz
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrnGeULcz4
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ecQlY5OS2
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucyMi7Z57O
do you know who did it?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyba79ARjRX
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TGRDTUXu3
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2mIlwyWAL
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsqZ4qMR6
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT0j54nS0Q
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzd5OzMkf
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU787AQkbf
"No,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Gs4LkcIk
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCYVQrjLUT
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCllgsU29jH
Carly."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkYqKWwBC
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHUifQK8wX
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvywxIYT0Os
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcWCpP6SBk
"Coming964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7FVVeYBIO
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoLCzV2boM
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtnnVd9DAO
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuVhXTRN96
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Pvh65vTT
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZC0tWaO2x
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhdwFMYD82
"I...964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kVFVLyi7n
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Agkg6v46q
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpcuPVuaCa
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z4dTPXjGO
"How do you know that?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6NkgLSvvJ
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mR8DP00f9
Eric964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZYVEfbZg2
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMB0d7FPxO
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYis7BBUPA
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJYLHw9VcH
"You're right."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHjRtJm7NV
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0K4oUFRsC
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65HvtTmX1o
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc1BvLw1n0
"I'm964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5w2Lnmd6r
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWAbrfhccx
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYW0B3KRRG
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExBFCxKkzD
Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmN3Xsromo
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGo3RzF7Ui
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyVduhU6Un
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpRiABMxVd
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeavxYxYV
"What things?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtczG014Up
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheCO64VnNP
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUk1MEJ44V
"You're sure?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIZ6XXHRzH
"Of course, please do so, Eric."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo62wnWah7W
Eric964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaTMM3KcNm
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcwIvNICs
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvDHQLzxi
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpzmIaNUfV
of a person living the good life.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xLVpIzZOV
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqdjJjs9SW
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxyYVpx4ey
"I'm964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerDTVhADk5
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213ZHpromq
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxokvwug6jc
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JI6XfL7MK
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSHF6mD0mE
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIb80zBFiM
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjU0hoiTYa
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLRQsk34cg
stand her sister after everything.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyWf8n8D2
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJFoGopnC
"Sorry964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzyVAIa6jv
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZELE4CXBB
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdMFNKtsxo
At964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCyjIhF0k3
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQ9JhzZ9A
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IFrKvtfpx
was starting to like this man already. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLHIGpoA2I
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4xpCoOVoZ
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa58Pm859e
"Thank you."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdd7s4UC4B
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hlv0KwE0V
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMOIQXxKA
"Well,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC7D0VUXwo
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Na08Fo9uC
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTikRNqOFyd
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZvRdA8rw
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3f3ownqos
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkYEqCIvwf
"I hope you agree to it,964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1XPs65qas
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OjhE88LOR
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rNW0zqk4
Angel turned to face Mr 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTg5yCW1s
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u071ZLL2b
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolYYrJVBJ9
coming.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRqbnSclhX
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
