Angel's eyes flew 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXk21LCgpA
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQop44gXMvW
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG8eL4bG1H
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69W0X4RqRN
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbDqCjXXm9
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMKYkEpko
Angel quickly stood 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUCCdDc0l
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuB2yuGnQM
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhHzGMobm5
dumb not to have realised it sooner.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2bv62dSJ
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mljnYoGD
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ooSob3NR
Angel closed her eyes826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7I5PDeks7
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGsbtMBU5
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfwGn67ibW
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkh9Bm59h9
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmLa6SpEgq
"What do you mean?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffwXZ0Q2La
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7IUOk998j
"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?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntS8IzCBHV
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ilusW6Kh
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYlXhU6AuY
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsUV46Y8sz
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFV0B9q6XV
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOVNRP8oCq
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHPTpf1Mq
Angel's mother gave 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp3tNWaUOS
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHzRhIImE
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjYbPHGjb
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAhxlv6MOb
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELEdIn85n
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0sqDuDjP
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdvT2cO4Ka
"You know I already gave you my word."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhLjGwgGx5
"And I know that 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZZhezjHvV
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJeQT8VwMd
please try to be patient with her, okay?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGnA75xqJx
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3DJfFubY
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnluqVR3Xy9
"Mum, wait, don't 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QzPm2Ic19
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6IlQBLGgB
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0THIBla9Xn
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjhOYrAmgu
between them even bigger.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWXn0cetrL
And then all of the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRhy2xlWc
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2sCiTahC
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jV1P0s7l2
***826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyAWfyi8vT
It826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF7ofHPya9
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RR4YaKH9v
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2XZu2ZJJe
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7mkt8ZOOC
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWoK3ehQQk
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgCAmobryT
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovqLZ3Cfki
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTWdmkgQ4U
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQNSwbexTO
was the ceiling above her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQziPju0qaQ
Angel's826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxeHBLSWlK
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgEMD05ZOk
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoxTff3mAK
her sister's voice.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ6mCIU04q
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFeP0nGbMu
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwG0kEtp8w
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE5nQflh1I
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6on0aQ9aTD
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSP8bcX9pM
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vGXu4fgpP
"Please,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a0iZA4FUp
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS3hVgCgLM
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwI7VGeZnu
"I'm826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnFT0Qfe3l
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHjBhcU248
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTCbK57RWZ
everything at the moment.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsPQ1PpVDO
Carly's826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oyz1dhr1p
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPPJY6aTXu
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXTVaWm8P
showed it all. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9r1KbhRPj
"I826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXaD8NwhQS
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Z9iXehRZ
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxjZr7c2b
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1yWjN7jkb
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8qhmHDp09
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jWP5HcXXO
with remorse and her body ached even more.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNdzGCXtcx
"I'm826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfQL63iokW
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQfhSdnauI
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WzCCuiIE7
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjF0WCksQ1
forgive me too."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke5Ia8hAce
A826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVOXcfLaSc
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rhKfAlFfd
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqB4GLpALP
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJf7Wc6YUW
footsteps. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzfGygz6W
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer1QhYXPyP
"Well,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN934J5CQf
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9YIciCgTl
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGHPiXO1ac
revive her."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Db7ouiUk
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG0t2FKkbQ
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGkk67azBH
Carly looked down at her826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGvHzCtB1
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNUJTLFN1o
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovm0R2eTQp
"And so as I," came the male voice.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiaHDXyBaM
Eric soon appeared 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lG6ssLp6
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYEXoYrtw4
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HiqL7EFq
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDsJXSDj7
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAEqOS9GU
"You don't worry, she's 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RGSI2Y0eI
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsLvF3kq6V
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLruuw3qlp
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV90emxM8z2
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9SYuoTmj
Carly and Eric looked at826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQJPtOzW6
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbWOxGkNUH
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7SmsfkUAm
"It's good to see you 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uYnStSStM
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA5XrvEx23
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pfYvrrwgF
Angel saw the doctor 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAme7PrJ6dO
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZV6QIb6KN
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaTOwab7qk
rest was exactly what she needed.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHPQNrSiLj
***826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zbnhcUQLF
A826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzlV2rPkFP
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyhVXwUev
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirgE6aMBYF
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80HPJ6Tjzt
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7WsDBGP4Z
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZX5wMg3R1
As826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs8O35w9sd
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEaXBJqpDR
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoJdWp9v3r
have. But she pulled through anyway. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpiKhbZv1
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer9hNckq7l
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXQAzJupk6
Carly826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiTD0bh3CX
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3HfOKPiQ1
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcguvRXYHY
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvuIb1aGn2
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNShv5ruHqT
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PALsGJeFd
wouldn't say anything. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTsqxbOIng
Even826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX77x4EpRA
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVGh9szmZl
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv9zBwSyRU
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3B67go186
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ud9oDsN14
Angel kept her mouth shut.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBzLie9YD
On826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0FYvvzr7
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9354YRLSl9
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb9Lw6jIz5
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsEr51FYmF
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BlPF9CC5k
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB3WVzsd5n
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZydoynom4u
sometimes.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoATVugXJY
As826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7cxoDc6v
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbQpUkM9XF
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlne7N8PTRm
"Hello, there," said Eric.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANnCnUUUEI
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkO2u0yPsp
"Well,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY5MZBGOkc
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpuMuYvvOw
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ktgoARKM
basket of fruits.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZLFgQs2Gy
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNuZYJQMf9
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUj5MXBXWX
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDAG2lICM
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwCTiSjx4I
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaRBBZpZ1u
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQMy4M6dCJ
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FCqjvsa1s
"I'll be right back," said Carly826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr7Mvhr7m8
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6fVCH6Sho
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKIaBDkNX
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtyId16Zeg
"I826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW6NXM3VHN
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ix7oMRbL
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ06VJLWIv
right?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7AlhTFSWe
Angel nodded.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHZG7MpaCQ
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpC5otn3sv
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ3g6TKUSp
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDw7y2ZCsI
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjUSmq8YIT
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsFH6bJJHO
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HcreUc75P
worse?826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhpW0v7OXz
"But826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL44LgKN1MX
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsaLjH6SDd
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDeefOOUFQ
mouth.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjDNg4ZOfY
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJS4cKkMh
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7lcAN2Ab
"That's826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAROB3l4dvH
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNtxGircZm
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHc5SnpMmG
eyebrows. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu2FfcKBZ1
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCypk9rHxa7
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6nP5YNucv
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOMKpToB8
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqm9qaFYWd
dreaming.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zy9kqw0T4
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtBs91x6s
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseIfSQYx8k
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr0OjKgPPM
"I826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4hcUFSq6
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCaVw8m23D
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWWIfS6oAM
quiet was the only way to keep calm."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KheTFsIdT
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGz7i6mtC6
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU6Un1MFcz
"Thanks, for what?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmbPSUUes2
"For826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcnDGnFb7C
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1ZigfaXz
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLeDHel6GN
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxUKBy5oK
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgYdhPrYm3
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0PuYgRG0
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nOQT4wQpD
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDcfTR4mp
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSgzRuZf6
"The....826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wL8POjxK
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1xazgGFJ
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qz9mM6wdP
mother's death and then nothing."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8B8iJ69EQ
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6wnOBNi9N
"I826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONnnzZTZ1
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1q387XZRM
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4YxguyeA
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1G3vyOod1
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9sM5oqNv
do you know who did it?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM6uOA3O3x
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMj7SGmOAq
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FuooBCoK
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOpSLlDzMN
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0trw3Ytk
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZnro9Iepq
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoudMAJya1
"No,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTlJdbiXb4
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hoqJ8VhO6
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUcJ5rqRx5
Carly."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpaaUJ86cI
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyjOShlQdz
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wOn4ey3t
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHHWVYjrs
"Coming826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHxV7mCNlW
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hc3JKiMgZ
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBDfPm2Ia7
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFJUOAlLWJ
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkXOMfOvmX
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOguaLVacuX
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpbhrUdNIj
"I...826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3G2InI2C0
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC8QLCG6HC
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkauzVU1Ynh
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnKMSTSXDw
"How do you know that?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWA0O8mRyp
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJVUXpJ6N0
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1o5VQ8Z5X
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsw4JZ7me2
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFUmqyCsSG
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmtFY7F1z
"You're right."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW59fx2CgvW
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXNGnDw8vo
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTbSc1akfm
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhkldNITrH
"I'm826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKj4TjFGER
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jRrZeybtC
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS89vQFEkt
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ45sTa6tR
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7LnurnWVl
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTOTXmYJ2
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cn1jJYiiE
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfloVsL13AG
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1MQ7AARo0
"What things?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2lduCtxzf
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYJI7wMdlM
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYVYKYK0hQ
"You're sure?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH5Qn37V1e
"Of course, please do so, Eric."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJf1TGHxdW
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmXSIt3uwd
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJ8d0lP9t
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf0pKOV04n
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0BCpts3mK
of a person living the good life.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9EJ4qeGF
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1BvXP4YsO
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LDtStS4oG
"I'm826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzZpb0WDg
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RuC90w5EU
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24cQWN25lO
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrBeG616ed
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7xGxgCQj
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDevuyQwUx
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXN0W0Yg2j
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy2hC2VUzA
stand her sister after everything.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMPG1dREdV
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXxyAsuz1L
"Sorry826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvINkdAIYI
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3x2y9gBP
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKulorWDrW
At826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgYDv3kyme
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkdH0kp2mX
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x1gAmd0S2
was starting to like this man already. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1N20tnJP
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyopO5a9YHI
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxGiYaVrfn
"Thank you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwfum3lONU
"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."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RNNwSw9w3
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSgIJxQY2L
"Well,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj3183T7jm
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kbVtjyWF
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmevGJrkD3
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Awpe6vJ9
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNrLJYTSIF
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6WOUaiAno
"I hope you agree to it,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSfpVFigLh
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mM1ufy5qC
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJuUR5aneX
Angel turned to face Mr 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBTkrTMDh
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKaVuyrnMB
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdlmFLZe5Y
coming.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuUx1XAhTH
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
