Angel's eyes flew 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayAgCbJTT4
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ6W7ZKpdu
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix8zMltrdY
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6oyMs2XTE
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxVRxeWkfw
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaeKKRLM5j
Angel quickly stood 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oxl8YyCZH
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjm3dEdfgq
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFFv1hFvId
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpEdqYtaU
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GU4Le8OLc
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhlzGeZJdn
Angel closed her eyes1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXVzWtkBH8
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWfl0YCJic
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHovVIf1XJ
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxUjTZt7D
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncmdF7kBAL
"What do you mean?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ923yUDaSW
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXBqXvGLRA
"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?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYtEcBs3Dw
"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."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIlXPskK7o
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb9bFAEdUQ
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz5hQZfIkX
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVIKuJjOQi
"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."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqRImWmtQ3
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABC8jaKw5A
Angel's mother gave 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA1iXmNj9K
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJxDdyOJzo
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffCfGDaDYi
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C27OKtsIh
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Y3J1IqxZ
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAixsW4gY5
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhXsrZQjXQ
"You know I already gave you my word."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYdWbAtuMU
"And I know that 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBIljAPgXF
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVeVaMhMU
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TLgqPxECe
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi18hoI7Io
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2gQXFMy9A
"Mum, wait, don't 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm0w6JjPBK
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdllVvvoB
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuUufV8OYP
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqKf1Lp4Yq
between them even bigger.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Vv5Sjo2N
And then all of the 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBqY2KpGsJ
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDsrRgL2yx
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUr3uNmNkO
***1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3IdzlRt7x
It1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosaWTfmfzd
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUUHU9bjDD
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqbS7SoV2
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6OSdXv5Bm
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWFpHrYRk
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVg0BPSPfh
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtaajwio3p
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRjCYqIzB0
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZGHjWK9U
was the ceiling above her.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYiOI3KiCG
Angel's1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGlPiLAyPc
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E0jFzPj0B
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxDl5Uhpm
her sister's voice.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ZLM7ywmv
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQrVqn7b8
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EvoSybYAu
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5b7VohLXg
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOP9SKReH4
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1LGJxrGD
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8VOq1fgUY
"Please,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxjhMm6rEs
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW4vskL1LL
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68QA9xahru
"I'm1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDPTqORLR0
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MYmyLxs5h
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCXiwYdil
everything at the moment.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhxw8X82ok
Carly's1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3MQ0Y85li
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHxVgZv0yr
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYnuoeLEjg
showed it all. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLx7ipj5U
"I1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV5kmN6vsq
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLK7VQPrBc
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI1uc70Q1W
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVklXMTJu
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79n8XoTMB
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4BFODBck
with remorse and her body ached even more.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdDGTjeDtq
"I'm1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DC9mRCzwk
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SHRMlXIN
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRna8Oylc
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk8n4zcCox
forgive me too."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIppeip7HBt
A1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEkRTkd6u
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4kFsV4u8X
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rRmooK26g
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjxS6WpNPQ
footsteps. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5EH2XlSQ
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3VUZPB6S
"Well,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cc5pvTae9
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ocdOC549x
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGUApkAg3Y
revive her."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85r12EWIM
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7fQfXXrzI
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdz1lnBOc8
Carly looked down at her1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvBnwR1t0Y
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLlLL1kRWP
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRxodPczp
"And so as I," came the male voice.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnmWj6XLr
Eric soon appeared 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59HS6BMyib
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicRbq2z26y
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1anvDjfyD
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0oN2XOly
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipknbTGwvI
"You don't worry, she's 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkXEiVTKfK
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD3xyZLQ4a
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiCEclHF6h
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo1KldJ4CY
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhpWdQjuxD
Carly and Eric looked at1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXj9Jc69h3
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeAquYpAkH
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUU1vA5CB
"It's good to see you 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6lWwxhK2q
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwA1eBh5jL
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0s4qin7OH
Angel saw the doctor 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt1my0DL2m
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZQiZm9Ybf
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ca5kWv5Vt
rest was exactly what she needed.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZEGEtHlsT
***1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqtd7jiyvn
A1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfTWL7mlIq
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1It9BAiS
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p4gPDd67K
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ820Dwqo865
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7YJNlw2Ye
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9BVowCk6a
As1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFAaqfl4vK
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnB8so56Ra
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNG8spKsfq
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe7drsfyJt
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiltyelPdW
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYja9ftGIAo
Carly1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4sXgBksbt
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRfcM0FG6S
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzwcHNmyTv
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tMCJ2tzR
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDOCiFtfy5
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKNXffhyUK
wouldn't say anything. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJCZYCKNIW
Even1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xld3TOOYQ
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTGypglp5
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVGJUfuq0
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02e8Qaxlao
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPSoFqWAq8
Angel kept her mouth shut.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO7WpCZI56
On1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmAuvI3PJA
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMMDlvzB1n
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeXng4JmKw
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk71X0wb4dZ
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfMwn44VG5
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtw3VMG72W
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawSaljpJY
sometimes.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCJktMu6Wz
As1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw5zX4fROA
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0CObNG3dU
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfWdaWZ2Gs
"Hello, there," said Eric.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P8ZVjKHLi
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ffp3rP8kG
"Well,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q8EKlxL2W
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkZ6hiuIx7
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8pLBjwDZ9
basket of fruits.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCsOULwV3d
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h1ioAquMg
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCdxs3vnm
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI04fsEpFB
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUzPmhGJqY
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zl3iqCiSg
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ219SxPhI0j
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszr5cWwVqR
"I'll be right back," said Carly1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk4ZrIvsTz
Eric1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIauLtCD6q
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lwVgXSYrz
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzU3qJsaVG
"I1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dLyEIqCKU
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipDasUYDy8
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIxMxOmoOu
right?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGaSq4SiI1
Angel nodded.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDhf4uRVHk
Eric1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG61Zt73a17
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWikAbN45q
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMl7iP6YCu
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87NEGuL6lU
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt5flHyC2A
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pD0oKre3O
worse?1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zlzsaWSKq
"But1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ108bzy4Giz
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6t8dYk0yl
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDze0NFoIO
mouth.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYZP3CM0Z8
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCvzMQ8qFn
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA9kAYrZan
"That's1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi8TnBGuzf
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrst8eOaLi
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NUd672uPH
eyebrows. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeGf7Ootzo
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFAdCyn9K
Eric1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyxDXBogrO
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu4rdwcvC6
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUTz3CUhpu
dreaming.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl6vgoswtM
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8hErvpXDh
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySJCbrU5fh
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSiyCLQtc
"I1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhgqaAJsmn
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YfNiaauzi
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZsjLVkrQt
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEW8JNeMQj
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqByXTS6A
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOERn9wZrm
"Thanks, for what?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rQKLxr71k
"For1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn9XWHn3Vi
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxNzYcr3Yb
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6wwq57aVk
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQgnEwKyQv
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvmVY3dcjY
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJujiohjsof
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PBzRjARg9
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWVSjuKasv
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0mj46smDh
"The....1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQkGsrL8H
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd79SllNV9
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGoppTYVNy
mother's death and then nothing."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VXY2DQbm3
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9wAxytcFV
"I1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKBgbZ6HJ
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLvKbrB5KL
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMWM9SYvO
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj5PwUrEap
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZHEcE36b
do you know who did it?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C1EVoqCpq
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYyJQRgpuq
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ9vTlyQmY
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz2VnEWxS7
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YRmfV36X
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAviUDqhkFT
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tjWAT4htk
"No,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJMeN75aLj
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zVrWoOLEG
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPHK8KQi3
Carly."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5AJNyYIBL
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKb2UsrrpY
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZfORNwiNi
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByOR4WwcRN
"Coming1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChiQ5umdj
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXCVHQqLn
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAd23x47m
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrEphOzI0P
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzxwaytLn
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgVAc3MXTD
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamV2dvHAdR
"I...1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1s6rE36HZ
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfShIS7JLQ8
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aWF3SOp9S
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6ZKgZMsV
"How do you know that?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZleqmyl3T
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0viVJLdGt
Eric1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbuK8FxDn6
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN7KTxlV7W
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ640DWfRnMc
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGxZdJ2gYY
"You're right."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS617SkeDg0
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6akrCNzzs
"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."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW857vLe3Ty
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTfz3fMPSz
"I'm1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXq4bNFl4v
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA6LvA00jk
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvXXq8FPsW
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWneV7fOM0Q
Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER9U6uKpeH
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5w1uosjEP
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1n0jojQl
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwryPRwo1v3
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb8VGM2a4N
"What things?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LQ45XL5uK
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bfKedaspc
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExbTcu4Nx
"You're sure?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjWeoKVSnZ
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj00MmeDwtT
Eric1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMbBgQtEt
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKfos7pOF
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2KiER6VXl
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB4CTFI9xv
of a person living the good life.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK47efeT7K
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ47P9mi0bO
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yA2xjbzKx
"I'm1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2kKn2TP5O
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSSzoI1SGl
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY188hgFKnp
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwE3mNdcJP
"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."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZnBcJUrVc
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViV7Ox9K11
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8w5AjqSgu
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oC72SS8lk
stand her sister after everything.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMbMUuZmP
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJciigrTcY
"Sorry1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxJ1Rhb6Qh
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrXQApx753
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIa53oPIFA
At1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdflWsLyFu
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOi1KrGMJd
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nmRgtPjzz
was starting to like this man already. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4iytoEmKA
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JeXlgcjP3
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLs8HPzOq
"Thank you."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSZptJVy7T
"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."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHCQ5Y4qSG
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDLKLayNWg
"Well,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf01AheCSTy
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryOF2XbCmX
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfhnQLdDz8
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOm6l8wPLH
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37iZuGsMte
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHcnQxVQq
"I hope you agree to it,1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qCY3AQIiX
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNao6mJGP6R
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrOe0ABUu
Angel turned to face Mr 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvqoOpXwqu
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCvzQeYUo
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDHXAAPDaz
coming.1017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDfQBzJuSx
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
