Angel's eyes flew 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXIXd0XAoz
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5MjWFMuT4
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAheZl3bcQw
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNulCZkZpkC
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUseVZ1MPh
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLbbUsKv5W
Angel quickly stood 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkq1y8P07I
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhtBQ84Fl9
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ToFMh1Ns
dumb not to have realised it sooner.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YLFfZAijd
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxp1coAGMJ
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLo1HpLuYx
Angel closed her eyes872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIurO523dh
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQMgC75sL
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvLDdPHU0E
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l793gIiob
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTkSLVbgs3
"What do you mean?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KpkgJIELI
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9eyGgLmEw
"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?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdnES0N20n
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmvkfNyll5
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwuYw05FeQ
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8r2insNAP
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr1Z4u6Gzq
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaWl8d7nj2
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTbkjFo55
Angel's mother gave 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9PDgZMhX7
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihcE5vuiso
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8OovxNBg
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF1Tjo5FoT
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrqJPTszNa
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuA2KeH5vB
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwaNh7bAxD
"You know I already gave you my word."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrGTxhmYXr
"And I know that 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1AIlfFQ15
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC42Ctvqkj
please try to be patient with her, okay?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxaLe8Fy2T
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzUD7xRgF0
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWCy8QCDfA
"Mum, wait, don't 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHYulswn5
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgV7BphyqG
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NTZw8QhA3
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6L3tvMtI5
between them even bigger.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdj167wGr
And then all of the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh53S1dBfa
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfZ2UB762r
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHuhduOQj
***872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLX9EXZVrh
It872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozWCzZ4CMX
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIeHXJBbEn
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKWs1i2MEt
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLnJlt0YeG
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLT9B9TrG1
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ12FlwDRY0
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ovhggwuYq
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hPI2bZMpt
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaAcxrYalm
was the ceiling above her.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGR0GbMbKg
Angel's872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGCAuSaw5i
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKlNOkx4aj
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5o0jWO1jN
her sister's voice.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHmhjnGs7t
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVuPHJvoOy
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYzEreRiH
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpszse2MPfg
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9OL87fucY
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVfZSXpods
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwedbdrrYs
"Please,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGAlRKmTWE
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqaIy5FNF
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJcg7VCYhr
"I'm872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNoq7v5ZZf
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFro1jeBQat
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3THtLbBOI
everything at the moment.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWz1V9Nmgm
Carly's872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpEETbaylH
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmbQOnqUVR
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCygmFGPH
showed it all. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7GSFHZC1v
"I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY1Q4p51if
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhKg7wkVV
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uxdNSGvZb
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieXvjsyJh
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF4Qmugywh
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sMyxRMtQE
with remorse and her body ached even more.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHU19RKZWd
"I'm872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXEV1Fw84p
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBQWU0m1jr
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGf1K6vgb
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZzuZBybDw
forgive me too."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPJRKhRDlG
A872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeNndH51BA
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nGUNkuwYI
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwkWbeUzL
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4dmXan1qv
footsteps. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ26Gt40iJq
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxECaw51418
"Well,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmnq8kGYsK
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAynUpGfVz
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrHYNx3Ba3
revive her."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBzyICF8FD
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQClBiWYBH
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJokvPN7Plc
Carly looked down at her872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40LDNuWSD9
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tq8QsySIJ
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9MPNn0ROY
"And so as I," came the male voice.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OU8HOgY4m
Eric soon appeared 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBpkL4mYFc
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkuDVmaO7E
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rR5IvMoz
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFqpdY3m5U
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGlkqzbJbY
"You don't worry, she's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mlQz4SUiW
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSROcfhSvx1
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qbRa9ZD3A
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pYaXBixN
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjHrt1mCq
Carly and Eric looked at872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYVzM6DjF4
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVkTd1j88I
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhicskjNR8
"It's good to see you 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRkpYGvBIt
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiVrdextXQ
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLP4uZWYsT
Angel saw the doctor 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbTBzsD1nB
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlnBYBDB0V
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EAdjlNYE
rest was exactly what she needed.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQvBkjpABZ
***872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv8kCe7R2l
A872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwh1fc91V0
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVp9fRaMJO
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8m7HISvO
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ynxI1KhRH
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ovagKu0jy
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y13bas93X
As872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUlKF7Gvvs
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJgbWai1K3
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHbYaLSOBD
have. But she pulled through anyway. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hxMRchItr
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujP9pqYwZN
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlG7MAvGFc
Carly872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8K8t39FB2
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdfXXUvrNi
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZLA0Gxb5E
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jVPSoYWY7
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0bZOvli5
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gBRYb2YsG
wouldn't say anything. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVpuWlYUHO
Even872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7pLRdiYLc
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtahdjA9b
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpLD5DVws
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2aCW1VS8r
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwcwQBE8vG
Angel kept her mouth shut.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEKEctEy0w
On872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH2v3vvpck
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLAEDQWJj
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyQFFFskxQ
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjecO6m4hJM
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGMhyivM5c
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSjZLQnZnc
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXAvEZ5ENr
sometimes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAdIsJSClQ
As872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Twn8pQp4b
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgWyvn0ygF
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOAlM3tR3s
"Hello, there," said Eric.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3sjYkznCN
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9q9iVsBdq
"Well,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYagXe877JR
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTlEdLy4Pq
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElUTf1KtZ
basket of fruits.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCLSVIHBrv
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lbWdkghQh
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEvChPcrLv
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEesE52Auik
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkldqeT0h
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CQ4HwCJXC
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDGngHzgVM
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA2KPsCnLq
"I'll be right back," said Carly872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1qoHjytxK
Eric872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVOsFuZa07
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzdq5l7JDK
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclqDK8qoEB
"I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETyLQ0ChRS
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz7XUryUWg
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynJLCSJ1nP
right?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGhftjgAl
Angel nodded.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNDxhcMc78
Eric872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAwN35aro3
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMv0VNmvW0
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5X0qNJpzL
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPLj8vHZcX
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08XVskXq3x
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWo2m2w0VX
worse?872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLxvdm03R1
"But872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYyLht61fI
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r17l2NUXF
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS6qX7161l
mouth.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2NzzeSrO8
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ183Aw1NRj8
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z0Sa5rjdP
"That's872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ARDPFHiJV
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6h2gJIc2s
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylNdt4VTmb
eyebrows. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fKSH23RTa
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaskjm5WBR
Eric872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1uq7jo1GO
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKv0mNp6vo
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot4QBkvqjV
dreaming.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIGbnmrh5
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fwscQL9cH
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQyF4ZTEUb
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJGX88LH4u
"I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vm2PTOoxT
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtx2gJ67o
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQfYw5owQi
quiet was the only way to keep calm."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7rOnFkW1t
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtoahJ4ZxB
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0yZD8Gbkx
"Thanks, for what?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd7Ohce4k6
"For872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC6atevUJ8
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqEI3ap7ES
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmWwBTWvK
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JVLxAlHlS
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXPxjWt5Lg
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCGwmvt6WG
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVCkzHzRs
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGOjKPhEUE
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9pNsPIjeD
"The....872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP4IQumF9W
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8G1iZH51u
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGsD2ri6kU
mother's death and then nothing."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1IX16QRj
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpOpjbuZVZ
"I872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpfKZarTyZ
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGS0Fjn3zi
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70IzxMU9k
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHn9ohCaa
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzehuBP8gE
do you know who did it?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlX6goHsDJ
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omBheuMit
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsL7NPPADS
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMxX6jB8HW
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxmI9C7Uvb
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMRNxZjzC
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU97By1gwci
"No,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiUVUz0eNZ
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCBnxZMoY
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXWRNQ0UCj
Carly."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYBCk9tRAj
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQk1XQiOYL
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEYjDOWTuu
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoduFoAKh8
"Coming872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnl6G7AP4m
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL0OGLR8sQ
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilVxhvlBDt
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtUiX0ra3n
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9v9DCD0Oi
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDddYgiI0S7
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2QlgYUCq4
"I...872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OncOAOsFM
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53czHYj7o
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd53qOKvBT4
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5CKhlSd4
"How do you know that?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtp7CUmri0
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEza9G8oAQ
Eric872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17CSS1j1rG
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1U0ORst4y
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPz3QwbgBu
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA1O3XDPSI
"You're right."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDqzKmbhpj
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHLSDpdUR
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jIx4Kmk97
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhsTFMoMqd
"I'm872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnqk0zW5AZ
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVmnGRaoLK
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHfHQV51QC
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZll1KlMcj2
Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIJk9Srt6p
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaufaBVAXRP
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXMLKS7i7
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0QlXY343B
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRe9bgWc0
"What things?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2SNtJR9G3
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVD0EEB5o
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TiaSth6Ej
"You're sure?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvNeJm3or
"Of course, please do so, Eric."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpRh8jo5Pm
Eric872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCrvwPTKOI
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvwsTfiHyg
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBHk46FYVn
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50N3E8fYDS
of a person living the good life.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtReceb6eh6
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1e1I1nPJx
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIrzirybxV
"I'm872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9F0caeGk
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLBPl2oINC
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv9uEcCnuw
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEiyT0an7D
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMehkQJWELN
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68aCgq6BaQ
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rtd0Jzivy
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS96PeXor2
stand her sister after everything.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwIICknhVv
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqTJsTEEd
"Sorry872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ykw0Icuyq
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCGQSidbb
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwVPgZrBF2
At872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgwNmpndFJ
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GkYu4MXrc
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdtkrs12jy
was starting to like this man already. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kEcBPXaXo
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbeJnrhNdy
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3hulVQNp
"Thank you."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLLQqp8JD
"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."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDIPhpq0VT
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtLteYoNxz
"Well,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyaRyaEOs
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUEAvkHabQ
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGSHdaApi
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M3urUq1YP
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEez4s2vh8
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJootdy0Fmy
"I hope you agree to it,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqG6KzUsZ
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFxNja2yO
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty6UsZeqa4
Angel turned to face Mr 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSJtULjdr
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErvvLgrEWC
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUO9xE3eB
coming.872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr93G0XQX0
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
