Angel's eyes flew 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWSeuTKfTW
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHQ0iIztn
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYZDXAKCxg
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF1CvNDlPv
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfnJXfkzP
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV59evvSBz
Angel quickly stood 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIpneHJEnx
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZwG2G7bWs
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV0YLsl6r5
dumb not to have realised it sooner.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsOPhTFMz
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW0E1w0UhW
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi6uSjeaFX
Angel closed her eyes823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJhKKs1HsW
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJoIA1RjR
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXe3Rvtro
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwUkccSylT
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ72GJjCQG
"What do you mean?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Or0w1azRj
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUES2mheMpd
"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?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthDOoc9EqC
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTR9xXD3aV
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm2abNKI6U
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GztBGD88e
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvePUZo6rQ
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8tSSgFQN
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOc1cxAhF
Angel's mother gave 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde13tQnmxi
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrbA291uMy
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzHdBkg3R
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmI6RM1vbD
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGOC7rCiMd
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu4RwNKAIA
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qnRArii2O
"You know I already gave you my word."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfcHFPN69C
"And I know that 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJgNMOD3yk
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelz9qCb9Cy
please try to be patient with her, okay?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUG0AQS3v
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyiGqie1Pw
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWP7IAFYS
"Mum, wait, don't 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRhfop9MU
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETBKOFGvku
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTM1Tb6PZx
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIweEiJNJD
between them even bigger.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsn38VhiMZ
And then all of the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIkTIytvr
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ey45iiydQ
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh57DLeq4LX
***823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ341tksyE7Z
It823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtweTBOXba
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iLakZ1gJB
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpqiUL3kXJ
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvF4YjABxT
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc2UMYnZVe
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOn1Rf6y9r
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIWbeDwmNT
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3lNw0Dyrz
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7lxyYWC8G
was the ceiling above her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnzZlHDPNy
Angel's823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC8Pl0oz75
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeAoBLtfT
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRtDIzzTD7
her sister's voice.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBXQJPYcOA
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7M4PTNQ9p
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLgox7vRt4
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7y2k1gUw
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh0APsHqlB
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNy7qcUGTc
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd4msQTzEB
"Please,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwsXYyEty
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSpChvrt6Y
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6RrBuOouU
"I'm823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNt7CQTJAu
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sFKlaSHoZ
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsz3rW0rMg
everything at the moment.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfcawRGTF
Carly's823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMEma7sdzK
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHpR674Sij
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILWYBBTUbR
showed it all. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1VvHOpNPu
"I823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euefq7IG6
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z3ocnfevV
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnGn86VU1
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhXxAItYR5
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoATPAfw2I
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2bVvLVfoF
with remorse and her body ached even more.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrTzN1YOp
"I'm823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9n1khozNK
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGzsLCfm1
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjtJEdIuEQ
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKKVLxKrFJ
forgive me too."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb5OOzCtjN
A823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH0HGBFQXB
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8SkrPbLb9
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LuVj5dI0B
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTysCnRFJo
footsteps. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vuNgcA05
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LuQXYsfXy
"Well,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgww2M2qvvr
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWYU6GrQ2
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMu7qjQADb
revive her."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxerDaRk5mT
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzXxjlm36U
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTleKZPzCi
Carly looked down at her823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyzLDzMbbB
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQJkGqaSo
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOji0BYza4C
"And so as I," came the male voice.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlTENKZVEq
Eric soon appeared 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp0pqdH7yy
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xRElRCLY
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvJDF9mRVp
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoFrsujBuQ
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l73TJe1sF
"You don't worry, she's 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8fO8z4Blu
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly5A5N1e5K
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVkHmBzGYW
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6a0yLQ2RX
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMnr1ff8a
Carly and Eric looked at823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJdoQa9xw
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1vmBX271
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWsOOsK7vv
"It's good to see you 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSsxEK9Z9K
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8Mq9Pv7O
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrKAtwKKq
Angel saw the doctor 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDSdcBNn8L
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAd00Tu9WK
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLg8NSJSNm
rest was exactly what she needed.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFprR2ANcr
***823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZTZnBGbfv
A823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSC9uNNsHs
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFpR9osJo
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdE8QLnemY
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLIiNj2FXH
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr8fgEmfon
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFmWf6eNHN
As823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQivmcMmrQ4
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQyyOIPl3Q
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIJyWMtUfz
have. But she pulled through anyway. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYVqedMbV2
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV4TF450xD
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYDdtZmSY4
Carly823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSS0YhApUW
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDdz75SVy1
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcl8Wx97Om
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHOlGmlYOm
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlTDr7Rbcu
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrKi0TPVlF
wouldn't say anything. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeraUfzjTI
Even823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kkl2GPZf3
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6liQDaG8qV
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEcQsAEQEr
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcvQhjhlMm
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtFS7Ps6m8
Angel kept her mouth shut.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvrSlW3hMX
On823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPYIM44ita
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyA4YJvy5h
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM6lkisBPd
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWyDG8VT5p
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtPwrrofAJ
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mEGBklWF8
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqL73fPwmn
sometimes.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMLXnK8Dsl
As823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvimjFfFp
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVs8ZAFaF
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u0tND0hKD
"Hello, there," said Eric.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM444obbOn
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy9364O31e
"Well,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFX6jSa1sV
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt2TPHobbk
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmks76CXSi
basket of fruits.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGlw8rmhpy
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNEQnvdZV
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6i986baj4
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7PMq1BKlE
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw8XZ8UF8Y
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5PBgLt1xd
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv30MDaevv
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaBmtG8eqM
"I'll be right back," said Carly823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPa1e4V3e
Eric823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnZ4FFCPW
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbGAZtmsyA
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vFA5CdkF
"I823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEodINp1VP
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDCA17kjUc
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XdHHuuVu
right?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Y5DjCOpw
Angel nodded.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyzhGJe4x
Eric823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCQQ1m9WQ
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo9vOiamIK
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYRHa8JXF6
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWBR6unmT
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTRyXkjTn9
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU9J69yMn9
worse?823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE4X9NRmzr
"But823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rpc4xugFx
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMCBufQXud
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TyIrMdChK
mouth.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcA1oEP3WL
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasPwf6dF6z
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowPHw1C58C
"That's823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSqTRyL2Fj
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJEXFoMA4
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzBUzw6cp
eyebrows. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeb7AwuC5N
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubAdRqZvo
Eric823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDKl4UEWYt
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPgPOjOMSO
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CoaQEXM64
dreaming.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEr0pVjegd
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYxZVeCzT
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1bstImEFw
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWeUiQcQaf
"I823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfGXZe00nI
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk7udbTbXc
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuoAVI6XUD
quiet was the only way to keep calm."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ICM6GcLj
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjDiI3N9Q0
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPXmBvRr66
"Thanks, for what?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPFcTDkJT8
"For823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhRJJE8PVR
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sbQzWJJTs
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFD5POJYGN
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPee9oAuice
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRb5BHlaj
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRubvHjRQgE
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1eRwGRxg
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKCVWk0Tib
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHCCU2tRJl
"The....823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK5qcaExVI
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHupNbSSsV
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT0Wo4mgUT
mother's death and then nothing."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD12sV0xyxV
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1v5pMKj8
"I823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bpVA9x5Z
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypUcUaOAp4
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC4GMph4y0
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Oy3bnGxX
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW8pDtaSfQ
do you know who did it?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxygYiqCWI6
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUks5ObbmAL
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3f8AELcnu
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheSPOsyB9b
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdkIa4iERF
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROQUcZXpPv
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkgGEWB0t
"No,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY2SYcHM9I
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXRd5I1K6
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjC9xokXdF
Carly."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsk2ZlBHaB
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn66je996b
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94pZEVdCSi
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tQXANP5PZ
"Coming823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58z8s4y3pe
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNMYYrkYeo
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DsF35ckrz
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFc55EEIVz
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDnsMwLCK0
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgO5JSsN5W
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumNoWZZKpk
"I...823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79K739DnGf
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jO3XmuEH
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXrxK4n21v
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi74HFnlyCK
"How do you know that?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrXR57peu
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7przUeYOpW
Eric823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I8OzwJzeY
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDiyV8V4Ck
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOerwgmTuVM
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD2XkEfBZ9
"You're right."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HL6n3p3F
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AnhFQK2O9
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JXfeEp9AX
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6aJJBa3ue
"I'm823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HEBDxUIc
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjUSttazo0
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwQPCP6aFl
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDs8Nq41Me
Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v7XYXlcS5
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb69U8eFAg
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLIrDz8ZZD
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG52uHQOHu
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgvgJXCmBq
"What things?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOk7yrl2xm
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCCilYOgPF
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQjNXQ5rBa
"You're sure?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyaVczT31I
"Of course, please do so, Eric."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFM4GV3pH9
Eric823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA536ZXo8eF
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BdIoSpisV
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjF3dr5hL
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIewlL2kbAl
of a person living the good life.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtsGBXkN3P
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Frq1Lob3
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2VEsc3PsL
"I'm823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibikU3jy4f
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf45MXAVPlr
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7i0QUAHql
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewUt9PJ4c
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlYndgCVcQ
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvJoB6BmJ
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvLFIDEvB
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJbeXFNkA
stand her sister after everything.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jMJnYe5s
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlTjBWncK
"Sorry823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtMF8oH9d
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtArRuLRGP2
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV1xm7aLGd
At823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ3gMB4s8p
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij0LDmoeSe
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6US7nwRg
was starting to like this man already. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MjBPTHyDr
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWTuvfRV4F
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHef8OEzkj
"Thank you."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8xP8bxmm
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8GSlPPsS
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgocrOZ2o
"Well,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHtif2w0OK
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCQQSgdhvh
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPZhz2Rpz5
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79N7qtCRs3
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCpN8YDyA2
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ6k5dSsb6
"I hope you agree to it,823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv275BbBLZb
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeYBzYJmXT
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aaWSM52Uy
Angel turned to face Mr 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i3061dCAZ
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2kKLracw1
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ZIJEA59S
coming.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE3uHSgv7P
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
