Angel's eyes flew 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFBz8yMZw
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTbkY0QiyT
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3NJ5N47v
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNQozlZcdx
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeuttrArck
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt6QnddbaT
Angel quickly stood 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0enHZ75rYI
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1DuOPgS9X
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSc8KiXGhB
dumb not to have realised it sooner.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb63ebiIeTI
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8b3SqA77D
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStNc7fUr8i
Angel closed her eyes892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBrm8WbBkI
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JceYqSD4N
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlPllAHQmg
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCzMClcW2I
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfv85xA8s
"What do you mean?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBWl2Q7KJU
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeGwb9qa4Z
"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?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaetPzRnlf4
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEdOWk8mu7
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMfhnF6xcO
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceE1iJlznk
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL7UgXPNwM
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOIO2I3V3W
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBMgbz1LGX
Angel's mother gave 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1lXb9amgC
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZehnP7P0z
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFzK7OP0c
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxIKjFWqHv
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5NSGHfn8j
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4GySCkl1m
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvvjzFgIg
"You know I already gave you my word."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaoDXHYRbQ
"And I know that 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kvHCs3Bsd
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaMJRxrQmE
please try to be patient with her, okay?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIfZ90HJ0
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwmRA7OlAd
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kubFlhZ8r
"Mum, wait, don't 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQVM2IWqtY
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBpB1S7uOr
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCs09Rzh1t
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd8sKYZpGb
between them even bigger.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSE0K1PGPQ
And then all of the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H2hxL1Ihn
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTFPAYTV5E
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dZGAeEQyF
***892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6w5nHhnTM
It892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGudHLxrJd
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zRO8mwPBY
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcndwlbPoLE
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5r7cdtmg4
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zI6PbXBjq
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLUh35jOq3
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdRbyPztTZ
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflWW2tWnVH
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI34DdzRnRq
was the ceiling above her.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIGoiVifF
Angel's892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIWkpy7DXM
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtixyN3WJGU
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ini40sct1
her sister's voice.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y04i8UcDx
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPrx4120EP
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vEjlscTB2
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7vMBXfHJk
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx6EK8pxPY
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc2sPwIeJU
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Bnqexc44
"Please,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH90u6Nha2Z
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUrTN60XBj
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh20c0HEfGD
"I'm892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOHbnQI8FC
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeMRkr2esS
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdquUcW6Jvw
everything at the moment.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEAMomUPO
Carly's892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17jHLGB8D
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTAYm1h8sJ
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAr1CHsYs3
showed it all. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGPSqDEOTL
"I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5pLR9mCi
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum15wbZ2gE
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NqZJBjyeP
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevFr0t5ruT
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU5cdCpzEX
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWEuVrjT6
with remorse and her body ached even more.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMlDkCxjmw
"I'm892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodQ5xXwFyH
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbtE3M2R2
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TZNkVmTcw
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg7utDa7Al
forgive me too."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaV6G2BfC8
A892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bkw3gnsCw
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH93xZRMLEj
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS5EiZ2yLO
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78NdNt8r6
footsteps. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnIahvxKjY
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwP6iycZJU
"Well,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4vKoYO54
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLM0pasida
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHtBv6UJG
revive her."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSkdxJ4JAQ
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6qKU5QYvP
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsytCB1K0W
Carly looked down at her892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFg30wvKMm
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwpzTqTAwZ
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrmSDPiha
"And so as I," came the male voice.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvknBKwVVX
Eric soon appeared 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5P7RZ8A1m
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp12BsN2Uj3
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpypqo2fTYt
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX5mjISyVD
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroFs63Z9bY
"You don't worry, she's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ht7cUSIRi
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIUEiZbhQv
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwgC485vS5
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9gkTp4syY
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMCtKxjMpb
Carly and Eric looked at892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEuQHnAw0I
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUo2pLAEO
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqwgsQIl5
"It's good to see you 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcp7mgil2N
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNf8hcKhn0
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYt7hBmXow
Angel saw the doctor 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLXknvXPt
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjF7XldPbz
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu8GZpKoXw
rest was exactly what she needed.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7avDXSrcW
***892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZTF2zhnG9
A892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix5AnvLEf3
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgdqL5Azp4
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZCFvyKOv1
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqz2QF18VO
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULi3fmUHPM
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6FfYR9Fg8
As892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeerv5SitGN
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnmFqu28pD
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rBaHwPTtR
have. But she pulled through anyway. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBbwdw2aE0
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVa0Q2gPCd
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWixNKMuLH
Carly892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yPVQdetZ7
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJwgVEwYFS
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUdJ1nl4bG
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5YU8ZNGaR
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKLMwRRe9S
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiIO7OM4mG
wouldn't say anything. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF2A9nvCvk
Even892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy29bYtGT25
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KcqqnzFU5
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z2QWZ21Zx
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6qZFwUla1
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhMjp04vxO
Angel kept her mouth shut.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVnT5dr0y
On892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzMPWkrZcP
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJRpf3TOm
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wr1umfPar
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiAY4rKbQM
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDEVoWMy0t
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXzM3NlRDw
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNoNm887Z
sometimes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs5Q2LRwVp
As892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPIkQtQ9S4
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKYE4Wvucv
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDrAdpPB1g
"Hello, there," said Eric.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5qjnQ9rlq
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ym4dIfFO5
"Well,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnCi8johle
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRaXznjBP9
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagQVgQ8WeK
basket of fruits.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r7lWbhjHg
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwZC06l2SJ
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEUp1vk1Pm
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciAUU5o8kT
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhA4Z9wo76
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0unTBs5k88
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQsu1MJazQ
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AX8rEnZwz
"I'll be right back," said Carly892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmYboH7rBC
Eric892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ua8tiICze
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbflTDEeJx
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbTzSQmMxL
"I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC02BooJm6
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp1Zj3YQSf
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3M0b8YnZ
right?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrReAEf8Kb
Angel nodded.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSwzBIGfGH
Eric892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjB8Ggr5OW
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCukPFfHsH
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflTSFRo3O
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp1OXfDFLD
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kuCunPyJC
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RkOhCSfGI
worse?892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAzn7Lh22Y
"But892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYvgg8z7Bp
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9oMLvZV3R
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN92xBXDijU
mouth.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqVAK3U3Ub
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdBSvqrzV0
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6qKSkXWqb
"That's892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFZXnsfsai
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxPXky5FAa
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bn8GmI97G
eyebrows. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA7zMafzN7
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSO7zjQDX
Eric892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHWWuJ2BZ1
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFHzVeazlm
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvnWAxLEF
dreaming.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kFpCRJIoY
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7w5LSdPvy
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXeCQ7yto
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzSvvfL8j
"I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOo36YRjG
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fHcTNMzO
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy5L090Vwf
quiet was the only way to keep calm."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqPE8zPLSI
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz6B8v3AmW
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS3MeY3fZC
"Thanks, for what?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hEcC4mXOW
"For892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPFOXx7xDR
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPnVNkpkTE
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcfTzmSBs0
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUizfSjYJ8t
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBHmeDscWA
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb7yt6jLAG
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcLefQtV2C
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZMXJ6QTgy
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiebQGmc25
"The....892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81tzBF01Pe
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97Z2BSrim
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ46ZlS3qk
mother's death and then nothing."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYEYtz9ppo
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjh3g1Pbj5
"I892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxffx7aziL
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZJalIrnUo
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUWK4tIMs
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr03PhjmHvg
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUOXc2vV1h
do you know who did it?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiuNfkuSsR
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5oW0Jy0XX
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5OQJt1fJX
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWHmgxHLq7
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpVDuGz7Ft
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58a0gS02mb
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFHa4MAto
"No,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap1Oy34ojS
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjxSLQOFMb
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftXaoPfxJc
Carly."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71bN6UHomT
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0mymhzLIq
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkd66bVZuc
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6OuV3Kb3d
"Coming892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2gKbNDZY2
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8wIuskMz
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZujgF34pCb
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj5K8PeCZI
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n4vHr41E8
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyulV4tLqH
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgfKnhhs3k
"I...892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefAYEWChkB
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZwpWhi0kW
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvykTN0HAui
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VkaMjDDOV
"How do you know that?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCJkn9lTth
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRBwqCmfgM
Eric892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXYvIG3MV
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi6D70qLn5
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zodxgsEq
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfryTZNG1il
"You're right."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXVsqMbOg0
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEH4bd2zDV
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplo42KxNJU
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXUKMpHLwo
"I'm892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eJIV59oaW
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXI8Bo1V5u
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFlOlxcphF
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3fMlnQ7BI
Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3rPcY2gdI
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o1p4QxfVA
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjl91tjVdq
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKgzfFHTk9
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl542AMHtc
"What things?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV2Rd2TWKB
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISlkSuko76
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyJtXKCSWa
"You're sure?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9XwtyaDUi
"Of course, please do so, Eric."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAozBF1RlF2
Eric892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPZzvzabVn
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedukFkPyf9
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5CgdD4Wfm
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEjCxKvLLm
of a person living the good life.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6I0wupwh
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoXvX7MUSc
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj1H9b0j4V
"I'm892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQxhqyU4IO
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkY2vAZ1zQ
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkyvnyD8LY
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0vvF458oT
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGZHFaOmyM
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsydHVcOo4
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb3sDdJtlE
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGACvCUsOM
stand her sister after everything.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst3Dvji0vo
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1H5E2Ugwb
"Sorry892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxbiOUwHv4
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloFMrf0Bro
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbqCSbYmNt
At892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdDOujW9gg
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ggCRO39M
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE5nBTZjQe
was starting to like this man already. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg95IrI8un
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPygoHz1Ru
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleVmSGcCWu
"Thank you."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkYP13Xal
"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."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJTqGL98MD
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ6LuUk6pM
"Well,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMa3N993aY
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq73Nmv3SS2
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0HUdFvHT3
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWFVmNgZSb
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKMbFJz0dj
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8ZODQQNL
"I hope you agree to it,892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzKhM44x5o
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BxF4gzgh0
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOAzVh49w
Angel turned to face Mr 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSgCsijFp
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmC3bNqIgA
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo0X0IuL4T
coming.892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdyijSkeUp
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
