Angel's eyes flew 910Please respect copyright.PENANAPEhXdHinFG
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 910Please respect copyright.PENANARAVLitxIXF
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdl4z0br9Rg
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 910Please respect copyright.PENANADrEE3JilSC
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAW1QUP8ZIcd
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.910Please respect copyright.PENANA5L9y8bMqBZ
Angel quickly stood 910Please respect copyright.PENANARwrvhDlsys
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.910Please respect copyright.PENANA1OcVCZuiOd
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 910Please respect copyright.PENANAi7EB2qcXQW
dumb not to have realised it sooner.910Please respect copyright.PENANAkoiscPgkec
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANASFnwrMmjXc
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.910Please respect copyright.PENANAyc17QgLJp0
Angel closed her eyes910Please respect copyright.PENANA9SDCce5LqW
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 910Please respect copyright.PENANAuESc0HxGaS
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.910Please respect copyright.PENANATJ5nUPL7cM
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAfIorvlrU5x
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."910Please respect copyright.PENANA8kNkpGHkzV
"What do you mean?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAcchXeycXJa
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."910Please respect copyright.PENANAx5zjRX8ygX
"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?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA1zAVGX4zJF
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANARUz8ayxTR8
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.910Please respect copyright.PENANAuuMfnLaAPa
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."910Please respect copyright.PENANA7UHFMAz1Tn
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."910Please respect copyright.PENANAP41lPcqJeN
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANALRpJ5zXzKu
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAQyojjZ6NxD
Angel's mother gave 910Please respect copyright.PENANAiNDqRXbqQ8
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2SjK7CkL2
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer910Please respect copyright.PENANAuB6pfPrZma
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more910Please respect copyright.PENANAibiY6VGCVm
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 910Please respect copyright.PENANAfg8km11AZZ
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdjtAlufv6c
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."910Please respect copyright.PENANAwgtDdjDBL5
"You know I already gave you my word."910Please respect copyright.PENANAxuvZaoxP4L
"And I know that 910Please respect copyright.PENANAU6AQnnmuZs
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 910Please respect copyright.PENANATl7Fg1u35p
please try to be patient with her, okay?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAharOsMDzIJ
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.910Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8qilViPoq
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.910Please respect copyright.PENANAOzngzp6V77
"Mum, wait, don't 910Please respect copyright.PENANA2rHbXmonu3
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 910Please respect copyright.PENANAKjhdeLBSV2
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 910Please respect copyright.PENANAQUXZgxvjow
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 910Please respect copyright.PENANAs55XM6vaBd
between them even bigger.910Please respect copyright.PENANA8VCoyLiWP2
And then all of the 910Please respect copyright.PENANA6gDmQe8nZ3
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her910Please respect copyright.PENANAfkLtiFGyDa
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.910Please respect copyright.PENANAezf2LIwrw9
***910Please respect copyright.PENANAA5XEjbNwhz
It910Please respect copyright.PENANA5ibZhB4zUb
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 910Please respect copyright.PENANA84Z8C5FtMc
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 910Please respect copyright.PENANAgmSB8fZB9u
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWsttuyb1jb
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 910Please respect copyright.PENANA9hftqYDI3m
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a910Please respect copyright.PENANA5b8vxCV5cn
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 910Please respect copyright.PENANAita0sP0ilD
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZtSBNXCeBG
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 910Please respect copyright.PENANAsgdhyPMBhW
was the ceiling above her.910Please respect copyright.PENANAyP0J4rBTna
Angel's910Please respect copyright.PENANAHutsgYEDgN
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 910Please respect copyright.PENANAglSAbQGwBu
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 910Please respect copyright.PENANAsorPhDSacv
her sister's voice.910Please respect copyright.PENANAlKEfOoO7K9
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 910Please respect copyright.PENANAlIIDHoEOC5
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANACIaCS8gC0X
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 910Please respect copyright.PENANAis9PWpEDoM
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 910Please respect copyright.PENANA0dnJhTKZuz
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 910Please respect copyright.PENANArIguLChPbj
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.910Please respect copyright.PENANAVUuTGPVCT4
"Please,910Please respect copyright.PENANA2VLAExtIMM
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to910Please respect copyright.PENANAh7VbVE3DwM
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.910Please respect copyright.PENANAzYg5gO3QZR
"I'm910Please respect copyright.PENANAfMJZxY2jH8
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 910Please respect copyright.PENANADvz51zlWkJ
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process910Please respect copyright.PENANAdQUCPxReb4
everything at the moment.910Please respect copyright.PENANA1clT0Ul6f8
Carly's910Please respect copyright.PENANABA8NjZkdwP
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 910Please respect copyright.PENANAUgefmKlr5Y
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 910Please respect copyright.PENANADuXcK10BY3
showed it all. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAupZ93ivxax
"I910Please respect copyright.PENANAXmvXZUmIW4
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjQVHDVIWco
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."910Please respect copyright.PENANAcqMq6675ZE
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANAowOxwMdb89
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears910Please respect copyright.PENANANDQY4DONkn
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZtOtg4vXQU
with remorse and her body ached even more.910Please respect copyright.PENANAdMiTUShlS0
"I'm910Please respect copyright.PENANAs9tyT8uf0x
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 910Please respect copyright.PENANAuFHVp4kYTy
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 910Please respect copyright.PENANAqzUik54IIy
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 910Please respect copyright.PENANAuzP5BzP3CJ
forgive me too."910Please respect copyright.PENANA4tsIlwajvq
A910Please respect copyright.PENANA1VA8G0rSef
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 910Please respect copyright.PENANALWcHXMO2uV
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly910Please respect copyright.PENANAXmSRe7vBJ7
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 910Please respect copyright.PENANAc7snUpRE2a
footsteps. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAMXg9Uo2VkN
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.910Please respect copyright.PENANAaAwg8Z4zTL
"Well,910Please respect copyright.PENANAROqVvRZN50
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 910Please respect copyright.PENANAtNJyWtu45m
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 910Please respect copyright.PENANAYtNQtYsgCB
revive her."910Please respect copyright.PENANAxVvihMqZ0W
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAMQDpO0HpsA
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."910Please respect copyright.PENANAmMsyB8iG18
Carly looked down at her910Please respect copyright.PENANAuF3ay2LVzw
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAJaw8WMvVCD
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."910Please respect copyright.PENANA9x1vOIS0TH
"And so as I," came the male voice.910Please respect copyright.PENANAOjtyDgK7Z1
Eric soon appeared 910Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vCembSOT
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 910Please respect copyright.PENANA93BukOX9lm
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAL1WB1rcmVD
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAL6do5teY4q
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAcOOu385bTT
"You don't worry, she's 910Please respect copyright.PENANAa71uhtCgrw
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 910Please respect copyright.PENANAduY1XVetkg
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."910Please respect copyright.PENANAp7nCOqCeqW
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."910Please respect copyright.PENANARcdA9CI4jJ
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAOZbvQJH4z0
Carly and Eric looked at910Please respect copyright.PENANAPcuOTxr0xX
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 910Please respect copyright.PENANA9VWyjpHFSK
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.910Please respect copyright.PENANAP85lWDatcA
"It's good to see you 910Please respect copyright.PENANAlghpgHCn8W
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to910Please respect copyright.PENANA8BqRox18TV
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."910Please respect copyright.PENANAQsxnC9xHD3
Angel saw the doctor 910Please respect copyright.PENANALMwpqfOzVd
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 910Please respect copyright.PENANADG5yookaRg
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 910Please respect copyright.PENANA4zWomkl1v8
rest was exactly what she needed.910Please respect copyright.PENANAxMeN3TukWH
***910Please respect copyright.PENANA1rQ1zTv9Kc
A910Please respect copyright.PENANAVSxoURXpEv
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjoqJvEz6Xw
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 910Please respect copyright.PENANAhu2BCGDPlU
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 910Please respect copyright.PENANAiptYHeeLWm
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 910Please respect copyright.PENANAHFzJBY5x71
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.910Please respect copyright.PENANAWB20cJ23f5
As910Please respect copyright.PENANARbhItjFR0t
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 910Please respect copyright.PENANAXmcMbwwiM1
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 910Please respect copyright.PENANAl4CNB8jvtc
have. But she pulled through anyway. 910Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jy8pmOQio
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.910Please respect copyright.PENANAmiGFf1lpEj
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAOkSyCXAZdN
Carly910Please respect copyright.PENANAcHDeOQ5Kkx
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had910Please respect copyright.PENANACXo2IbqoHn
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 910Please respect copyright.PENANA9fLFQwzp65
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 910Please respect copyright.PENANA3qn00gsZHY
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 910Please respect copyright.PENANAhUOw2UpAze
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 910Please respect copyright.PENANAgIPUMIHd6a
wouldn't say anything. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAeHEiX1r9na
Even910Please respect copyright.PENANAe7zIiMIRTI
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 910Please respect copyright.PENANA4xweqXl3M2
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 910Please respect copyright.PENANA3hpAs8jcAW
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was910Please respect copyright.PENANAmG8gzZZm41
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZucBdNih4d
Angel kept her mouth shut.910Please respect copyright.PENANANcASoTmKbl
On910Please respect copyright.PENANAGibOpKPqv8
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and910Please respect copyright.PENANAt4CU4L2O0o
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 910Please respect copyright.PENANA46qFduk7Vg
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 910Please respect copyright.PENANAsraXFvpgAC
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 910Please respect copyright.PENANAGlevx7oGDF
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over910Please respect copyright.PENANAvpywZsuXnU
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 910Please respect copyright.PENANAaSUst7JNNi
sometimes.910Please respect copyright.PENANAaScNkZBFlo
As910Please respect copyright.PENANAw5LQ5kcqow
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 910Please respect copyright.PENANARhpwCFLJCu
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.910Please respect copyright.PENANAK1cTTERIuA
"Hello, there," said Eric.910Please respect copyright.PENANARRtch5LKd3
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.910Please respect copyright.PENANAoPDp9Aqc5L
"Well,910Please respect copyright.PENANAhTkDeQknis
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWfYeQAhPy5
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAAu0J4InXJS
basket of fruits.910Please respect copyright.PENANAaC8nwCVSif
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANA6M8F3qWrPU
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."910Please respect copyright.PENANAjvUh9xP60y
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA1oeKZOHgwZ
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.910Please respect copyright.PENANAYaAorudJz1
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.910Please respect copyright.PENANARghhynEOeh
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.910Please respect copyright.PENANAybql9zisrS
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAMQZEIjaY2H
"I'll be right back," said Carly910Please respect copyright.PENANAuNZQSiEjPe
Eric910Please respect copyright.PENANAwROSxDuedo
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 910Please respect copyright.PENANA0a6j8EbZBf
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.910Please respect copyright.PENANAaDlVeDxHC6
"I910Please respect copyright.PENANAVWC2jCM1lI
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of910Please respect copyright.PENANAKIntq6WKTx
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 910Please respect copyright.PENANA6aZW3h2a93
right?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAkPVE5KWJuZ
Angel nodded.910Please respect copyright.PENANABpjKEChjwh
Eric910Please respect copyright.PENANACi2Kui6m3O
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 910Please respect copyright.PENANAiT75Ajk3l2
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."910Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sx3ZrqEa6
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANA2O8U0sGzRv
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have910Please respect copyright.PENANA02M4d3c55O
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 910Please respect copyright.PENANADGXkQGs05q
worse?910Please respect copyright.PENANA3gPk4vQCY1
"But910Please respect copyright.PENANAaHqPRuw9GF
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 910Please respect copyright.PENANAtFbwWRZoUA
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 910Please respect copyright.PENANA56jRsKXniB
mouth.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgft4954w94
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ0n7H0fXL
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAj3JpI3AsRw
"That's910Please respect copyright.PENANAE0dhhPVDJf
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 910Please respect copyright.PENANAP7aYmubcDT
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 910Please respect copyright.PENANA7M7vksOhZH
eyebrows. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZqZGc57ROL
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."910Please respect copyright.PENANArgsR3iioiE
Eric910Please respect copyright.PENANASY1kiQcqOj
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know910Please respect copyright.PENANAoDLedRlPWp
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 910Please respect copyright.PENANAR4y8P1XJy9
dreaming.910Please respect copyright.PENANAhJyvp9eQYb
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.910Please respect copyright.PENANATNVjjkLkEl
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.910Please respect copyright.PENANACPFaRQ40GF
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."910Please respect copyright.PENANA0sZpn1hZVf
"I910Please respect copyright.PENANAhKMutLfWtB
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 910Please respect copyright.PENANANWAub8sMLk
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 910Please respect copyright.PENANAxxihDkz3iI
quiet was the only way to keep calm."910Please respect copyright.PENANAiTvOxOB4kl
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."910Please respect copyright.PENANAPRJfLgiTSR
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."910Please respect copyright.PENANA6F4phn98LE
"Thanks, for what?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAuLvvjaYcsp
"For910Please respect copyright.PENANAiQSiiK5tB7
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 910Please respect copyright.PENANAgl6Q8O4bti
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a910Please respect copyright.PENANAKGdZoHQ8QS
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."910Please respect copyright.PENANABItsPiTADN
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."910Please respect copyright.PENANAQjyd1neAES
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Y1QxcMfV
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 910Please respect copyright.PENANAfb4PUubz2H
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAUlcYZ0hNdV
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."910Please respect copyright.PENANAwFqW5rsAbx
"The....910Please respect copyright.PENANANyu1OvqNYr
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 910Please respect copyright.PENANAhJsha2LH7d
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 910Please respect copyright.PENANAyZqRTadDpR
mother's death and then nothing."910Please respect copyright.PENANAUyU3sEoQXz
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"910Please respect copyright.PENANANe3zBH4NQN
"I910Please respect copyright.PENANAgtee16y15E
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 910Please respect copyright.PENANA3FxMlxogLh
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjglAtqyfTd
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 910Please respect copyright.PENANAlbikwxfE66
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 910Please respect copyright.PENANAcSBLbHqd6J
do you know who did it?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3iLqOud2M
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."910Please respect copyright.PENANADxJCvxQOQR
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAjreyl7cFsv
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"910Please respect copyright.PENANANGJSO24SWV
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAfuknSmGwLb
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."910Please respect copyright.PENANALHWhVpFLjG
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."910Please respect copyright.PENANAYMUfDBOmFY
"No,910Please respect copyright.PENANAtQfqgWnfhe
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 910Please respect copyright.PENANA1HCvjYFh9B
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWKR2zDPBpW
Carly."910Please respect copyright.PENANAPAXRADFupa
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"910Please respect copyright.PENANALoYOA1zLIc
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."910Please respect copyright.PENANACnem3QWOpl
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."910Please respect copyright.PENANAaTIFLd0T1f
"Coming910Please respect copyright.PENANAjTrsIvFyi2
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 910Please respect copyright.PENANALNuuiofszx
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."910Please respect copyright.PENANAtubx2Mp16x
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANAJavy1CBCSk
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked910Please respect copyright.PENANAlcqvNOo5oS
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.910Please respect copyright.PENANApGkAMlKpT4
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAzK9wT1QtiF
"I...910Please respect copyright.PENANAFrL5KE5WOD
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZi6KiD5swb
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."910Please respect copyright.PENANARUIzIS1c9G
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAUK3gmLvx7U
"How do you know that?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA9nb5W8PSrp
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."910Please respect copyright.PENANA4igMGo7X2m
Eric910Please respect copyright.PENANAeEUReJkTM0
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 910Please respect copyright.PENANAcXt4wPnNcV
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."910Please respect copyright.PENANAuLWgXDXLIk
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAaPfDwOfTjm
"You're right."910Please respect copyright.PENANA8z9rGogmqm
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."910Please respect copyright.PENANA06fDGgxcal
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANA0jbxjNKQpg
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAKzQVn20Y5M
"I'm910Please respect copyright.PENANAzLkyPUOXqr
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 910Please respect copyright.PENANA1ET3D6izT6
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 910Please respect copyright.PENANAtPKJXknSpR
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."910Please respect copyright.PENANAJxDDuf3mvq
Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANAol5hM8mq51
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 910Please respect copyright.PENANAQf9PnFleJF
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdZP97agwVc
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.910Please respect copyright.PENANAmkNBcGVgdJ
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."910Please respect copyright.PENANAaPsrvnQUXg
"What things?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA228F6658zd
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."910Please respect copyright.PENANA88GKijbkYK
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."910Please respect copyright.PENANAx74AgQJTqq
"You're sure?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAiGfVCUQuWg
"Of course, please do so, Eric."910Please respect copyright.PENANArsIo6wDhWJ
Eric910Please respect copyright.PENANAqSpPre4mzk
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAaGOoSOTuGs
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 910Please respect copyright.PENANAIX83v890C2
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 910Please respect copyright.PENANAH85UFyRSuS
of a person living the good life.910Please respect copyright.PENANA8cL3KnS69y
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"910Please respect copyright.PENANABLljDzMAnS
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAs5HXopboJG
"I'm910Please respect copyright.PENANAvTgnMJb0EQ
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 910Please respect copyright.PENANAkRqFsdX9k0
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 910Please respect copyright.PENANAvkiuTB3gPn
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.910Please respect copyright.PENANAWiif0dR2an
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANA3wTxFBBQVw
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel910Please respect copyright.PENANAQa1PpLl82M
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAXpkNFPDk27
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 910Please respect copyright.PENANA2KvQTjbMEm
stand her sister after everything.910Please respect copyright.PENANAFFsYGSdQA1
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."910Please respect copyright.PENANALIVLi3BObw
"Sorry910Please respect copyright.PENANAUFme32PVKa
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 910Please respect copyright.PENANAuwqwsk3X9h
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."910Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ36uKMREj
At910Please respect copyright.PENANARgVO6BkrYa
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 910Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVteh2LQz
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 910Please respect copyright.PENANAGxIrJUk3Sh
was starting to like this man already. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAmDomTwJSjG
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.910Please respect copyright.PENANA7qYWfbnknw
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."910Please respect copyright.PENANAjWUB4i6TfN
"Thank you."910Please respect copyright.PENANAeu80pNymQ9
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANA8AitAHhWnt
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.910Please respect copyright.PENANAfb4XFTRPgs
"Well,910Please respect copyright.PENANAmcSc1FomYh
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgOE2rLO2GX
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAZUJaDWR19f
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 910Please respect copyright.PENANA8FRYBMjOU3
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 910Please respect copyright.PENANA2tAOlwpP36
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."910Please respect copyright.PENANAg0VP5TTgWt
"I hope you agree to it,910Please respect copyright.PENANAXc799CDIOz
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 910Please respect copyright.PENANAlv634kZbnB
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.910Please respect copyright.PENANAm21afrJAL6
Angel turned to face Mr 910Please respect copyright.PENANAG99nEX53Nu
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdUD8V3vH2D
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 910Please respect copyright.PENANAFJUWqFbw30
coming.910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2bSeVEuTi
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
