Angel's eyes flew 869Please respect copyright.PENANAtpPO5Jr7gW
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 869Please respect copyright.PENANASkdEAn3Ddf
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 869Please respect copyright.PENANAJpYkb6RcdZ
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 869Please respect copyright.PENANAa1GK0nPu5J
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAERaSscTTrf
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.869Please respect copyright.PENANAEwSJXDmrTn
Angel quickly stood 869Please respect copyright.PENANA0oIt0r0BCp
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.869Please respect copyright.PENANABF1JFaJ0Xi
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 869Please respect copyright.PENANAgiAwKz8GTQ
dumb not to have realised it sooner.869Please respect copyright.PENANAXD4P1PRHtw
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANACjh9bLVOze
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.869Please respect copyright.PENANABnrRShIGW6
Angel closed her eyes869Please respect copyright.PENANA7h3YPE48hT
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 869Please respect copyright.PENANAYtxQGWlDhP
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.869Please respect copyright.PENANAzlqbKFkuXc
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 869Please respect copyright.PENANA5vF01OQvYn
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."869Please respect copyright.PENANAPKKDligpFp
"What do you mean?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA2rxuqfV7YC
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."869Please respect copyright.PENANAWAOCKlgajn
"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?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAPEtSoOPcUT
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zu6hwCTvJ
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.869Please respect copyright.PENANAKxQ0qfGB3A
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."869Please respect copyright.PENANAY7l6mdDgtO
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."869Please respect copyright.PENANATgqnx8lgTS
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAZwQixeJS9g
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAro8jE9pFAa
Angel's mother gave 869Please respect copyright.PENANAP1rtGsSQQn
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 869Please respect copyright.PENANAvLhlPcZK0i
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer869Please respect copyright.PENANAztWSnLrSs0
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more869Please respect copyright.PENANARvMp3piWEE
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 869Please respect copyright.PENANAYaWLT4VIij
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 869Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2W8qso3sd
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."869Please respect copyright.PENANAykC25luL3z
"You know I already gave you my word."869Please respect copyright.PENANAoR5f1uR4eb
"And I know that 869Please respect copyright.PENANATM8V1vHwoW
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 869Please respect copyright.PENANASnuiherfIw
please try to be patient with her, okay?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyf8glPty
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.869Please respect copyright.PENANAHUOSZHSv5M
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.869Please respect copyright.PENANAg68q06b9bs
"Mum, wait, don't 869Please respect copyright.PENANAXiDxJUTdsr
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 869Please respect copyright.PENANAGr2GGyW1uJ
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 869Please respect copyright.PENANAIdRJaZeFyS
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 869Please respect copyright.PENANAhi0nESm00w
between them even bigger.869Please respect copyright.PENANA4mRUGh8KHF
And then all of the 869Please respect copyright.PENANACsADU0QEC0
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her869Please respect copyright.PENANA03P5IPD3yF
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.869Please respect copyright.PENANAJj2XP3SwtX
***869Please respect copyright.PENANA6yaIxmG0gO
It869Please respect copyright.PENANAVBb6qvqxdA
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 869Please respect copyright.PENANA4nX9evqm3B
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 869Please respect copyright.PENANAU6yaEkeP3m
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 869Please respect copyright.PENANASva80uMiDA
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 869Please respect copyright.PENANAKCd9ACuZwK
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a869Please respect copyright.PENANAPD6hvil4xS
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 869Please respect copyright.PENANAl1iM48mLhf
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 869Please respect copyright.PENANAiQUuIpQuuI
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 869Please respect copyright.PENANAcA2srNbvH7
was the ceiling above her.869Please respect copyright.PENANAXwrXym5GWK
Angel's869Please respect copyright.PENANAbJMeY2Zny9
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 869Please respect copyright.PENANAShc70hKRAK
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 869Please respect copyright.PENANAnpRJk5XGHC
her sister's voice.869Please respect copyright.PENANABIzPicR8aG
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 869Please respect copyright.PENANABkQnDIwISt
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAnSr9neWtyr
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 869Please respect copyright.PENANANnkFPBgHat
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 869Please respect copyright.PENANAgOImgmm0mU
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 869Please respect copyright.PENANAVcavnGFAEI
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.869Please respect copyright.PENANAkIvCJcwrpm
"Please,869Please respect copyright.PENANAMBqDIEfrhR
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to869Please respect copyright.PENANA1VaRZkJ4be
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.869Please respect copyright.PENANAGbZIcc9owt
"I'm869Please respect copyright.PENANAlgbItsNsHW
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 869Please respect copyright.PENANAqrt9D1mkxi
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process869Please respect copyright.PENANAtmLjZVNav6
everything at the moment.869Please respect copyright.PENANAsqaeAEuM9K
Carly's869Please respect copyright.PENANA5QDAsh8znZ
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 869Please respect copyright.PENANAJBMYGtS0wz
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 869Please respect copyright.PENANA5cHfghd4R5
showed it all. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAbqnXXUSD9z
"I869Please respect copyright.PENANAYedz8bK3CJ
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 869Please respect copyright.PENANAYVQesfNg0C
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."869Please respect copyright.PENANANDRY0KPuoc
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANA98xJ55xlNb
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears869Please respect copyright.PENANAoLNFKCJkR3
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 869Please respect copyright.PENANA1qmykhr60G
with remorse and her body ached even more.869Please respect copyright.PENANA9W0tCtZlHk
"I'm869Please respect copyright.PENANAzFK6Pp0KKr
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 869Please respect copyright.PENANADA28GRYB68
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 869Please respect copyright.PENANA59gNlWBTyN
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 869Please respect copyright.PENANAAVfiGVGe4U
forgive me too."869Please respect copyright.PENANAjeDnWzsj6i
A869Please respect copyright.PENANASJOjVCAHDr
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 869Please respect copyright.PENANAj2HHsuQXoV
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly869Please respect copyright.PENANAXWkvoTZNdF
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 869Please respect copyright.PENANA6NiQYuyQwT
footsteps. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAUtpuK1GytC
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.869Please respect copyright.PENANAGDxxBTbniS
"Well,869Please respect copyright.PENANAMflPkMJpec
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 869Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Qsvreozy
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 869Please respect copyright.PENANArzT4VoAilF
revive her."869Please respect copyright.PENANAJliar71rs0
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAwPjGU7QkWD
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."869Please respect copyright.PENANAIY6bmWARtR
Carly looked down at her869Please respect copyright.PENANABE9cUc8ztI
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 869Please respect copyright.PENANA9KqB5tkPM0
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."869Please respect copyright.PENANAk89SoST6DD
"And so as I," came the male voice.869Please respect copyright.PENANAk63kj1Stri
Eric soon appeared 869Please respect copyright.PENANAhvHyAGSeJ5
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 869Please respect copyright.PENANAfzePZuPU1K
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 869Please respect copyright.PENANApsDJmY8G4r
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAXZIllqeCaK
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAtPRsRMJDPV
"You don't worry, she's 869Please respect copyright.PENANAj8lPXct7OQ
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 869Please respect copyright.PENANADBhXVoxTI5
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."869Please respect copyright.PENANAmGtX2lWx45
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."869Please respect copyright.PENANAgWrAfaVQKk
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAcQSmO7Syxo
Carly and Eric looked at869Please respect copyright.PENANAlsAI61RFgY
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 869Please respect copyright.PENANA4YtJBhm7TW
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.869Please respect copyright.PENANAJQRldldme3
"It's good to see you 869Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qm4MegVDo
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to869Please respect copyright.PENANAEF2Siccn0R
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."869Please respect copyright.PENANAUroOuIfmNS
Angel saw the doctor 869Please respect copyright.PENANA3JQUU5y5Dj
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 869Please respect copyright.PENANASc3PFn8Wrh
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 869Please respect copyright.PENANAqIIZX53bUj
rest was exactly what she needed.869Please respect copyright.PENANAPGuoG6X6fb
***869Please respect copyright.PENANAC6v4Ov8Gnl
A869Please respect copyright.PENANAE0zylSZ2a4
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 869Please respect copyright.PENANAaM5ARGqPHV
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 869Please respect copyright.PENANAP0oL3VFuWp
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 869Please respect copyright.PENANAddgSVIPD4L
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 869Please respect copyright.PENANAE6N4U15KC4
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.869Please respect copyright.PENANAaVi57eb1Cm
As869Please respect copyright.PENANAdGjCqkFABE
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 869Please respect copyright.PENANA58xdjXrgVn
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 869Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvyB5ivXt
have. But she pulled through anyway. 869Please respect copyright.PENANA7KMWilep2b
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.869Please respect copyright.PENANAnlGXxycCyh
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAxOq2ctaBmy
Carly869Please respect copyright.PENANAhtEW27qryy
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had869Please respect copyright.PENANAFFGiaswDXo
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 869Please respect copyright.PENANACTyTiPTzEr
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 869Please respect copyright.PENANAqt1INJLToG
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 869Please respect copyright.PENANAkLK4hxVjhD
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 869Please respect copyright.PENANAHu97seGtIP
wouldn't say anything. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAv7RclqjQqv
Even869Please respect copyright.PENANAybZHLrHuEC
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 869Please respect copyright.PENANAfOUtnpRPs5
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 869Please respect copyright.PENANACucFkdGuwO
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was869Please respect copyright.PENANAk1HgzR2OHz
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 869Please respect copyright.PENANAKXC0dOJdS1
Angel kept her mouth shut.869Please respect copyright.PENANA0b0ZoDvm8d
On869Please respect copyright.PENANAXYtfBjT1lj
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and869Please respect copyright.PENANACDzUvSWS9W
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 869Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8fFlUy31v
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 869Please respect copyright.PENANAHelo1BZegz
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 869Please respect copyright.PENANAFFHY3MwL3T
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over869Please respect copyright.PENANAfYm4LqmgBh
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 869Please respect copyright.PENANAcREsQAvNqA
sometimes.869Please respect copyright.PENANAUMUwF4NIXn
As869Please respect copyright.PENANAfdtK6xVYFS
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 869Please respect copyright.PENANAHujBYCIWxR
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.869Please respect copyright.PENANAojkdmTJvQt
"Hello, there," said Eric.869Please respect copyright.PENANA8R7DTQEDYM
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.869Please respect copyright.PENANAgKNRHCLZfd
"Well,869Please respect copyright.PENANAds6v0zjykE
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 869Please respect copyright.PENANAwhIORAqoMQ
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 869Please respect copyright.PENANAx2XV9iAS0n
basket of fruits.869Please respect copyright.PENANAoaT09uADhv
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAiMNqBbvuG4
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."869Please respect copyright.PENANAHJZ2NdlURf
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA9zYOMy3gxG
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.869Please respect copyright.PENANA6N5W4wueyk
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.869Please respect copyright.PENANAr6wx87aiQc
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.869Please respect copyright.PENANA0TVbN5dHJq
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAUoYlrhYHjJ
"I'll be right back," said Carly869Please respect copyright.PENANAC9TFqKp7fB
Eric869Please respect copyright.PENANAQuSCNK622i
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 869Please respect copyright.PENANAScUjSsiewZ
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.869Please respect copyright.PENANAcGSv6gUmo4
"I869Please respect copyright.PENANAN5P07M3vKS
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of869Please respect copyright.PENANAkXGaluyWsu
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 869Please respect copyright.PENANAL79CpY8IKU
right?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAhNEQNkVAfm
Angel nodded.869Please respect copyright.PENANAcI6ZutGbIK
Eric869Please respect copyright.PENANAGuKvqiOIzl
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 869Please respect copyright.PENANALguVMTRuRA
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."869Please respect copyright.PENANAG43iVTf9dG
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAFnk780WmFV
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have869Please respect copyright.PENANAQcChYgeGfh
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 869Please respect copyright.PENANARiaQhKxC8o
worse?869Please respect copyright.PENANALfGMVIF8e5
"But869Please respect copyright.PENANAXwvTX6vg5r
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 869Please respect copyright.PENANAUHV1p692eE
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 869Please respect copyright.PENANAhU51CY1ari
mouth.869Please respect copyright.PENANA9YvNABCzDs
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAzSOcYUfYA3
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 869Please respect copyright.PENANADD505uEV4u
"That's869Please respect copyright.PENANANv4K4WHIiL
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 869Please respect copyright.PENANA8so6gwBYKx
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 869Please respect copyright.PENANA8HjkBaJkzl
eyebrows. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAcvtD1p88h3
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."869Please respect copyright.PENANAQO2bvDLOPE
Eric869Please respect copyright.PENANADN1Vk7nbwy
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know869Please respect copyright.PENANAORKVpxSl9i
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 869Please respect copyright.PENANAVyd6inRz8u
dreaming.869Please respect copyright.PENANArcAnIbeaHz
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.869Please respect copyright.PENANA2z8mzlkIVN
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.869Please respect copyright.PENANAnTHZ2a7wwM
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."869Please respect copyright.PENANAgD7yGidd2P
"I869Please respect copyright.PENANAF3f5tXuXa7
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 869Please respect copyright.PENANADCJNUKtkiB
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 869Please respect copyright.PENANA2TZ6f2GpSQ
quiet was the only way to keep calm."869Please respect copyright.PENANA1JP7wjQhit
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."869Please respect copyright.PENANACEttc37sFy
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."869Please respect copyright.PENANAIG4bHMJVcC
"Thanks, for what?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAGaRbIPYKNr
"For869Please respect copyright.PENANAEpN5ZykBdO
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 869Please respect copyright.PENANACIDSZ8MmXv
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a869Please respect copyright.PENANAk2fpStitNK
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."869Please respect copyright.PENANAhWd2p8qCj4
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."869Please respect copyright.PENANADv8eybRiV0
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAnyHAHPX1AR
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 869Please respect copyright.PENANA7uJtqLNq02
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAhjoyrbeeAY
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."869Please respect copyright.PENANALw84HWUN01
"The....869Please respect copyright.PENANA5zQsg9mMSr
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 869Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmI5qb5nv
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 869Please respect copyright.PENANAJRn29HL1aw
mother's death and then nothing."869Please respect copyright.PENANAdicpkgH9h5
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"869Please respect copyright.PENANANuEjcNxhk0
"I869Please respect copyright.PENANAR7rRlkmhGX
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 869Please respect copyright.PENANAClmxWM61sK
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 869Please respect copyright.PENANAQXBPeHVe4Y
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 869Please respect copyright.PENANAr1vCX719aZ
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 869Please respect copyright.PENANAqthSJe9F02
do you know who did it?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA4C4QkEnAfR
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."869Please respect copyright.PENANANYZgsuFujK
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAng2GikUih3
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"869Please respect copyright.PENANALLnagNPjRm
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"869Please respect copyright.PENANA5FBhoSK90v
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."869Please respect copyright.PENANAF0wihJNwHv
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."869Please respect copyright.PENANAnNKdC91rS1
"No,869Please respect copyright.PENANAPhsGCPz88s
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 869Please respect copyright.PENANABVx81EUws7
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 869Please respect copyright.PENANAvgiR4kkUMM
Carly."869Please respect copyright.PENANA0ECFlge7s3
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAbV7sTEWzj8
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."869Please respect copyright.PENANASbHWmcXwGX
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."869Please respect copyright.PENANAH92a3f8B3i
"Coming869Please respect copyright.PENANAx0vitIuOyq
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 869Please respect copyright.PENANAlmqHhvJd6C
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."869Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOFB6pjGl
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAVXIVX6SJHE
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked869Please respect copyright.PENANAkoMxVVdYpt
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.869Please respect copyright.PENANAxhTBBdafRn
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAIWL3tVVWCh
"I...869Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0BmWmsnvB
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 869Please respect copyright.PENANAT2XQk93HPn
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."869Please respect copyright.PENANAycp1U6A7S5
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAu6V4fHpMSe
"How do you know that?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAyWHGq6peho
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."869Please respect copyright.PENANAWbwMgk9l0F
Eric869Please respect copyright.PENANAD3MUP303xS
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 869Please respect copyright.PENANA9nm23W3meB
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."869Please respect copyright.PENANA9P2Oc5JHij
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5mN6oQEr6
"You're right."869Please respect copyright.PENANAqOssybhbZC
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."869Please respect copyright.PENANAuecHNoPI3P
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ftS1RdDX
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.869Please respect copyright.PENANAtum9NVuhsV
"I'm869Please respect copyright.PENANAK6b41sDCOi
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 869Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FXis8PNo
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 869Please respect copyright.PENANA6YVouiEHeN
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."869Please respect copyright.PENANAdUSWlwRUn7
Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAhgxitshONG
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 869Please respect copyright.PENANAkEBHz5VLLs
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 869Please respect copyright.PENANA08tAzXcIK1
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.869Please respect copyright.PENANA0BKagR1YXj
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."869Please respect copyright.PENANAf2YonxIxCH
"What things?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAEt1LL9fM4Q
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."869Please respect copyright.PENANAKKkUuaePBF
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."869Please respect copyright.PENANAmbZqYyd8s9
"You're sure?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAHITqSAXhpe
"Of course, please do so, Eric."869Please respect copyright.PENANAQxHsP5gZmS
Eric869Please respect copyright.PENANANS7RKDPSsa
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 869Please respect copyright.PENANAjQBOakvBgp
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 869Please respect copyright.PENANAojD1rgbhXs
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 869Please respect copyright.PENANAOuGSv6pN8b
of a person living the good life.869Please respect copyright.PENANAqTnH33azF0
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"869Please respect copyright.PENANAbBzdNEx1uw
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 869Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fxa9dJp4J
"I'm869Please respect copyright.PENANAlvrcGWQz0q
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 869Please respect copyright.PENANAErSRnI46YT
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 869Please respect copyright.PENANAbReuG3qX0G
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.869Please respect copyright.PENANAhFSDSx8bHE
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANArNcc4A9DEZ
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel869Please respect copyright.PENANAkt54WOuF6R
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAtZdCMIwArP
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 869Please respect copyright.PENANAlleE7y8x2r
stand her sister after everything.869Please respect copyright.PENANAhebiDsDqt2
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."869Please respect copyright.PENANAHYRoDgcZYp
"Sorry869Please respect copyright.PENANA2o5vV2H181
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 869Please respect copyright.PENANAzaeodWKcKS
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."869Please respect copyright.PENANAOIqaSo4JfH
At869Please respect copyright.PENANAXi59EIG0XW
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 869Please respect copyright.PENANAXRFPSZgC6J
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 869Please respect copyright.PENANA1mhH4vlNCH
was starting to like this man already. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAJKxYDVExag
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.869Please respect copyright.PENANAD12KB3dEID
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."869Please respect copyright.PENANAAnpI0OuSx3
"Thank you."869Please respect copyright.PENANASKls1W9IHu
"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."869Please respect copyright.PENANARlINBV7lUT
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.869Please respect copyright.PENANAjJuFP85tOm
"Well,869Please respect copyright.PENANACqsenqHF9i
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.869Please respect copyright.PENANAQHuwPjvJxu
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAPa5YI4dZMO
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 869Please respect copyright.PENANAbMq6ZdFF3B
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 869Please respect copyright.PENANAvqlHkwHZEY
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."869Please respect copyright.PENANAu6sJkdSHxW
"I hope you agree to it,869Please respect copyright.PENANA1HTRkioooT
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 869Please respect copyright.PENANAGTyhTClM7s
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.869Please respect copyright.PENANAXfPE9Xaxfx
Angel turned to face Mr 869Please respect copyright.PENANA22752kxtSe
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 869Please respect copyright.PENANA8fMxaOxsWZ
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 869Please respect copyright.PENANAd6sjWgO9zd
coming.869Please respect copyright.PENANAnZw8PJ8Byk
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
