Angel's eyes flew 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4pQtZqYSz
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832QexX8Ga
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgxkqAnF3
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l5HBc523S
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqNEQa0KwC
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qxtOjcJE
Angel quickly stood 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid4mlwaTQX
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaj8RgNd49
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpz2aN3bpk
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YxkK5WmD
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsvx16q1w
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAEg9OZ5DB
Angel closed her eyes1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUomhvkyWnf
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuyXDSG6pk
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p5aNcnZUg
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7PE41Rwod
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJQvamUuYO
"What do you mean?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxOdERCtoa
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGcOPIvp2J
"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?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxUcj0Ucjd
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YkVHXCqBT
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0owRApXVs8
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GtdOHSV0s
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh14YD2vVH
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqWkoox7Jb
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDR5q8Ogh3
Angel's mother gave 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ndibQGiS
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi5Fsr4qd8
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ts6T6d7b
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvt0LpXK2M
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjAJnUQELM
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr7vv81kUK
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ERmbf3KY
"You know I already gave you my word."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjJG6Fw99n
"And I know that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQvUs14arE
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcvNKFH3P3
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNeRmcLKyC
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5xydrNSET
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQMMjzPfAI
"Mum, wait, don't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgzooA7Uw
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6KxImw2kx
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwti4dUzWa3
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYtDCfBpd
between them even bigger.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeimNF5C05F
And then all of the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUqQ46wGCp
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGJBwbWfI
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt6SiiBLRA
***1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YO9v8EYr
It1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J9KGpaxTO
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjisWG4O9
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZKmGk69eS
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB38l2HrH7V
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4I8JUBSP6
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHRPWi66g
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz7DbFmdp5
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ivlkGfmR
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8QvdNDZJD
was the ceiling above her.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7QQeTGavJ
Angel's1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ufuCvMzV
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ966zxpGLOg
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA5dRQ8teq
her sister's voice.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgxIMSRQc
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhrLrhPlY
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxHs9mva04
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558yRJfhRc
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HcXAPMvXX
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHQXAIrwTC
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tU6sD3A6X
"Please,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhX1sbGzl
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv13vkGUD2
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPJYpqgEf
"I'm1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS65M5nyIB8
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qBXzjZAns
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpV9SIApEG
everything at the moment.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9FhBAAuSX
Carly's1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdVVbs4bjR
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjQl54jS6U
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBEAtuNDFp
showed it all. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCAbUgvil3
"I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbXpDzVok8
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePjHhKMjL5
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCVaKqhXHS
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHM59DbABr
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj3k5QBpTA
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfoxoYAd8g
with remorse and her body ached even more.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eCwvEgefL
"I'm1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0KM9FeeOX
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QD7zHg3AT
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiWRYpFxr
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0a9rZ6ZAT
forgive me too."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdWMq8Jlx6
A1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpBGYosHGb
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNS6Ce8BTL
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UiRWA64nG
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67uUBApu9f
footsteps. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMymiHGSYh
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD5Bw2OEij
"Well,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdm6qN4jd8
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Ucn5U5yD
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BKnRBnmZy
revive her."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fisAMf5uJ
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZOOaMNwB
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl98njbWRTl
Carly looked down at her1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEO4Azsv0L
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxY4wwyZjl
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGWpXNAhCe
"And so as I," came the male voice.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM7tBaGCEh
Eric soon appeared 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgKls8j4Ad
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa26oOaFwm8
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4zSlmK7ym
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwYZTz20Rf
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLdTRuDc4u
"You don't worry, she's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eCjZ0jGBb
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVuLVYBQTz
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWW2vj6BjV
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxBXMJOA5f
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Nw11R10x
Carly and Eric looked at1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfazLoQnoq
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y3jYAXCwN
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2kXBftECD
"It's good to see you 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAsZRBKmoK
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh49BnLNGvo
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDovUGWsfx2
Angel saw the doctor 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPt0vgaapB
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm27frF3Za
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77d3T8zWTQ
rest was exactly what she needed.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNggOVtzXS
***1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xozBNmpuo
A1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqo5cf51fp
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16X3UqKOq0
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPU2TU3oRA
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sF2ascXVG
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHceLOdbQb
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7XnLpYEpr
As1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiLmhtMK9
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqQLwyQp7T
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbkcNW1vRY
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRneZ14Jaik
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIg4suTfk2
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzokh8KjB58
Carly1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK7SCFGEIO
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7qF9zuun
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4FpEKxj3
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfL3TaCHwZ
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJXUMf8fdi
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1uA99K6u
wouldn't say anything. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2WAOHcird
Even1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5450Tb7nQ
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsYMgjZBJw
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr1t0OoOGe
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIoT40FkAl
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNIjnqMms9
Angel kept her mouth shut.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMFdwQFbao
On1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjsop4l1v7
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRVqVSICt
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnITnbwbKii
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGOgE4LqPY
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VztFfiFSr
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35TzIIAA3X
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ6CxekVmJ
sometimes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7KHvrstK
As1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoO57Pi9Dx
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aANar4ghi
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe8fPjONOb
"Hello, there," said Eric.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ZSELrtwb
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMcWOh0qR
"Well,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgkVQgkKE8
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQuTYzTrYb
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jKUx61Kv
basket of fruits.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuUjUzbB55
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjhIODMCIz
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkDk61MPD
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC2wIv9AX2
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkmqGuVFOn
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXJv5sk16
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3enVr2z1d
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5K2Dn8Ze
"I'll be right back," said Carly1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHlcm2D3wc
Eric1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7kCOu87Yo
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qbnDHqTiP
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAjcC9HSsy
"I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIj77PyLXG
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPoERaRSn9
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiogJSd1PeO
right?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7VCM9Zjc
Angel nodded.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEFUZEd0gB
Eric1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl39v8UPsU1
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TgDm24F95
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM7PiX4jXx
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76dBvh59Ps
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDxfW2GblK
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY62D1hKajW
worse?1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLa3PEmIcr
"But1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlIt1IR80b
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiAaqhy5k
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z9vZVqNB3
mouth.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oOcMKCVNr
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvlQz9Y26s
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvH6cx79tf
"That's1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscATHbkTQ
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwpcIfZ2Tu
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9DU1COy4
eyebrows. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg3M23r2BT
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhGRouYA3e
Eric1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt2QRrZNuM
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa795SlLho
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ThIGgmLe
dreaming.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T6SBmlB4G
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXELZ1MLgf
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAEsuMDPpG
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTR6OBBahl
"I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2YhIoItCy
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSwuj5vAyG
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA5rfgOxEX
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB9nMo45AR
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfMN9DIeaC
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZLxtnitAy
"Thanks, for what?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsxpC1FKIZ
"For1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkMUgsuDlt
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh8QATqTp2
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XUev7i83V
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5jd9R4Suy
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xafWiUYab
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPehkIpgj3
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BwjW3TPc0
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88iuYuwwYV
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq8oncbrlC
"The....1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB9UId9LZK
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DhWleRBQZ
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ysXn3lL6
mother's death and then nothing."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXAFIg1Ulr
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa1mrnkgQh
"I1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NAydDqzUn
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli5ke5iNdw
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvcMcIqzfk
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzKe4J0qBE
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxllz7XgtR
do you know who did it?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQMLQJbLO
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVCVwFiDd
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQ90ErIXC
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxGj4BGqKA
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98o8JadTmh
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9Hzrvbv0
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYB3mjiuiQ
"No,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjK3qVOSbC
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91IAEs54yM
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JjGKkHCy8
Carly."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMaYR5Gcph
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCp2gMQoFt
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcZPbtlv4
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCy2AL19c2
"Coming1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRKMcjVrRo
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfTxnMDYB
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqAXAwqYtP
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNgp1e21M
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0XQKRw6GI
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY747lgIYp
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgkcsNzhd2
"I...1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW6lm2Uwt8
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5S7jYlxP
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwU0bnyYw
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPMAQZt8J
"How do you know that?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSucbaPLlc6
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLAUN0gU0r
Eric1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjqMsKwrX
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIFJtRgxnX
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuq3yFlFkW
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnRzjcxacf
"You're right."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Blpro2cB
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TP50ItHMO
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFtjzMPGsU
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTarLOYUQV2
"I'm1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXgTDRcPTj
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcNTlQBCMP
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBlrVe2Kpy
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlIRy779Jn
Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfEJXvSNUz
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym0YKtSUKZ
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5poxDSZUGH
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2r2MtMYS
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo62eqDevJ
"What things?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxd9loiRer
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0dhENgxG
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAOEOGpnSR
"You're sure?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHTJSh742T
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvmyY9jiO1
Eric1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq98FoLAEh
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMmdvSlN9E
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS7iMNhGnV
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZBKqT2Lv
of a person living the good life.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vnUGXgnu
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgywx3hoY2
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49qUgd9Q1
"I'm1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoyKTNQ09a
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZToe7J8KmV
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxhwdmk62
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfKF6euYNQ
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5oF6nokcQ
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV4UXv9JRW
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNp0udxC5e
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4QLnTbv6a
stand her sister after everything.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iD0QDlnZf
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQpxCt3OI
"Sorry1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxcoVvrau
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr42whBsN9
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UjtlqWNtw
At1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfWAwwSgw
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmk4TGzsBh
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNORCghED
was starting to like this man already. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOgJHdbqqq
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJK4Zziowl
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcEsi98uFA
"Thank you."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbp27InnVl
"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."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACZ3K1lHws
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1izMXjQUa8
"Well,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCAaBCHALQ
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzap75oISOo
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5281feDlQ
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrFSXbXQb6
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Hl0FEQLH
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR22QLjmhR
"I hope you agree to it,1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYVjxmIVL7
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHplAapWYm
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjNscUkfrD
Angel turned to face Mr 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefDtXwucUt
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtyKl0cqvv
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4QTumkmOQ
coming.1007Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJoMTgbheY
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
