Angel's eyes flew 1550Please respect copyright.PENANALhlxfLZE1e
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAOyWs4Qw7RJ
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1550Please respect copyright.PENANArQVHM2s0tk
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAoLRi919nR
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAbonDfGMlRB
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9PEueMIT
Angel quickly stood 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA61R27bLroq
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAj4ZoHu6t56
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAn4V21iLNN
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAD2584MsGms
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAUKFbotvwrL
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAu4SN0kG8Xp
Angel closed her eyes1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfq9iSXgoQk
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8G0KDrR2tL
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8KUrmaISCj
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAyPbJ9lQEFN
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3kvH2BM4Na
"What do you mean?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAO1Iy0nQ75S
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAT0dlwR02sy
"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?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPSsayPhIgD
"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."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA09lVT84ocv
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAARtocyb8cp
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA5YLMK9Ek42
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAdhMJzDbpVi
"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."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3rrcylTOG4
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGwe8Z3mzzt
Angel's mother gave 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAq6sSaTPBqy
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1550Please respect copyright.PENANARac2PRgbJP
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGRl85GD72X
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8k5QAJkY00
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAjO04kGxmAD
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1550Please respect copyright.PENANADuT0z9kw4d
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAhOJPrQuEl4
"You know I already gave you my word."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA7uXsdEeF1K
"And I know that 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA1wIPaSqoZA
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJSY05n2pBM
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAyr2V64rKjh
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPGHVMLsvdW
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAF1QatiyTNj
"Mum, wait, don't 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoBADmY9cez
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAB04sGLpuyj
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA9sAyBvKnVs
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAdTgmfE9Rru
between them even bigger.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAmbN5EUsiv7
And then all of the 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPVl1nDwKuz
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1550Please respect copyright.PENANAYXLTLJGCT9
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAczK21fOm3w
***1550Please respect copyright.PENANAvCGQ3qsmNg
It1550Please respect copyright.PENANA9MEcIMMj9S
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAXNMxsqd5E5
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAqwb7i4VHm4
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQoCZb9cnqB
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAMio4PC7pbD
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtBFMjTwjEK
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoW8fQdFW4u
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1550Please respect copyright.PENANATRUE69EN6g
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAS4FxDKGbRP
was the ceiling above her.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAKIALiWQmah
Angel's1550Please respect copyright.PENANApmHYc6b82o
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAVCaQtnbbnv
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kQCq3j5a
her sister's voice.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAXBaPzFp8X4
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAwuQhuMXLwm
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0prQLBYhfX
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGTLdU9stvF
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA7PMSywq7Rf
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA76jV8ParvJ
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA7uK6ofeWvV
"Please,1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3vXVoRsbUE
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkKzNzvaAFk
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAf73UUqH8tI
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.PENANACxefChR1JG
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAHf9UySZEA3
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1550Please respect copyright.PENANAd78zJ1UyA6
everything at the moment.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoQql97dN7I
Carly's1550Please respect copyright.PENANA2nkMSsnoXX
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgvxaBDUved
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkRCUZTFMG9
showed it all. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANApkq1OBWLDx
"I1550Please respect copyright.PENANATeNxX6bArx
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAHTxVAcLK6Z
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJo4H3zq5na
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANAG2oDaH9TrZ
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgrcMVEdJWK
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAN5HLJRtZAr
with remorse and her body ached even more.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgHYBm8WpQt
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.PENANAuomdDCi2bz
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQGGVofSfJq
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAm5l7WDywkN
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAiiXXXuT301
forgive me too."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFjOrxq5z
A1550Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bv7Vs6ZCW
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAp4rT142mdY
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFOyCPUHq4A
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0iQ9HL9KJM
footsteps. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANALWjyua3KhT
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAcxTIzH8Twa
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.PENANArq8mQc4MoJ
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfTYMUJI3Gc
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1550Please respect copyright.PENANArkn2gIhP70
revive her."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnX4aosJR6I
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAokVkTanvzA
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAsOam59LqoL
Carly looked down at her1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0ok0xs4UyR
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgrTfvwUqck
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3OaP1m5jdH
"And so as I," came the male voice.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtozZkWOZjs
Eric soon appeared 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGMdwfHTNAb
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ8r9b0gwC
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1550Please respect copyright.PENANASAmR27bRMI
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFwfYsmDGyo
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA120GNJkaIN
"You don't worry, she's 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA2stx4Rd9Kv
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA26K5QhrTP9
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnA4BZiwtyH
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1550Please respect copyright.PENANACfE9T9dFmI
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAxrzf2sfHx7
Carly and Eric looked at1550Please respect copyright.PENANArTw6382d68
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFMYvLItKXM
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEkxVholZl0
"It's good to see you 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAOzGZGtHoQ1
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAfyXI3xGSy
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAwlFpzThRXv
Angel saw the doctor 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAmU8BxNasgE
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbEkdmtIy
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1550Please respect copyright.PENANARuwTnmOMZG
rest was exactly what she needed.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnDkpvfwmNY
***1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtJYDKSQrYS
A1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4t3ZApioF2
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1550Please respect copyright.PENANACR2a5hEJgo
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dn95Lt8RM
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1550Please respect copyright.PENANASyCn0D9jWf
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAVShj5opa2U
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEjAvZKX3XB
As1550Please respect copyright.PENANA2EqBnKSmEe
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA6GWzZKF1HW
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAUHgRi7VYRx
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEEgWKg1Lut
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA17OwWk5qsM
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAjpiN59sK3C
Carly1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGyORypFLTC
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1550Please respect copyright.PENANACi2Y5TC3Da
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAyjxQ37k1um
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAIv3W0VaWL2
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJmU87LIcAz
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAOU242cdBhl
wouldn't say anything. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAVINW2ZRPJ0
Even1550Please respect copyright.PENANAeEP1QJaVJ3
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAYB5kqxKWXu
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1550Please respect copyright.PENANABozlXhWTbL
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1550Please respect copyright.PENANAma2Otppejy
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAD8MmdjYSvx
Angel kept her mouth shut.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPuDnBM0iaq
On1550Please respect copyright.PENANAuCV69eJkvY
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1550Please respect copyright.PENANAcdHi5yJas4
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAmnOYf29GCL
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAzd8HEXytT5
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkD8jbcJJ7o
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEbZ6LBJPzl
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAMGdXPxYV8s
sometimes.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAe8KYkhZ08W
As1550Please respect copyright.PENANAcrU5KxlDPL
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1550Please respect copyright.PENANACVF721cA47
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkrix5IKRWf
"Hello, there," said Eric.1550Please respect copyright.PENANADPSEeDZezP
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAXi1KzbRJT8
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3jowV4IY8
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0LVnlIAi2c
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ZeayC1YG
basket of fruits.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgdlc6AvNTb
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA6CLKEMz2VR
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA2JzyOuyxva
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAE9sspXFdpO
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iv3H0bsOF
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAB7PD76OEC2
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1550Please respect copyright.PENANABV6sdlGjHn
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANApNbVEHYjSG
"I'll be right back," said Carly1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8mFcx6aj3M
Eric1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEZIDjHfubo
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAlkrMahiBU6
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAYiEBweeThR
"I1550Please respect copyright.PENANAb7CEL9Uwua
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1550Please respect copyright.PENANAOudTVOveee
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4eqNFvfSG7
right?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANABjWCAQ6o1L
Angel nodded.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnmjajdYLiz
Eric1550Please respect copyright.PENANA6lCqDIV3QF
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4v9c7ITdgI
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAprAu1IElwE
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANAhoEqequAdG
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1550Please respect copyright.PENANAKsHUEpHK2u
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAspDHkJ7rKp
worse?1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGOurmeqiOy
"But1550Please respect copyright.PENANAMOFvAa6zg2
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1550Please respect copyright.PENANABTScRvKUTB
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQDEEzrE8wb
mouth.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbsDlahpk
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ao9axWxPH
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFbALcThBEK
"That's1550Please respect copyright.PENANAK6BkUcAVJh
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAaHXNT6RQ0p
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAWR6byjPawa
eyebrows. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAvK8c6QTGGD
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfcbbYQwq36
Eric1550Please respect copyright.PENANAIvtpIWEK5j
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1550Please respect copyright.PENANAeYSAoC0SSf
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAYdB2wOpnfO
dreaming.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJaMbVheq62
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1550Please respect copyright.PENANA1WVqZpikGQ
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAsNLlBt5fJr
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAxhYgx8V5P7
"I1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8q1BW26zgU
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJGajuvToEl
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAU85q1iVMFI
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3uH8SgULCG
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAouM4JvBxxl
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQgEBJmHMBF
"Thanks, for what?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJGKoJD5A2U
"For1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEwiSNmnAfj
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAyqPodMON0V
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtwYBu7Y4mG
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAa8368KnFVw
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAu5BZVjmPhc
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANAjGmEB0JqRq
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAz05MOIBCD8
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPWfM6agp3Z
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAWKYGgKmuBx
"The....1550Please respect copyright.PENANAduc1Q7oI6C
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnYls3tcIIt
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAE4v4XqN9hY
mother's death and then nothing."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAQq9LaFp8A
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAFGVfMmYJ7D
"I1550Please respect copyright.PENANA3geUBOxH8w
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAWbVrfrPsUT
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAbIX18ciP7F
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfhZKZLN6jj
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAMMcq4eNzWn
do you know who did it?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANARJiYwimKyA
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAnrjCIT5G8Z
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJMAcMt1oWX
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANABNazCW8a0e
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAK91SOv8PXS
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAR1I76Wd46j
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAdp0JE79yX3
"No,1550Please respect copyright.PENANAevKor2aHLq
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA7p7dQiYmm2
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1550Please respect copyright.PENANALbedmAV6kf
Carly."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAwELvrm8Nln
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANALRxfAcDN4t
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA1wBE4c9KGE
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtn4AtLJhsj
"Coming1550Please respect copyright.PENANAIY9k2qi6WD
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA1NcuBd1obY
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAGZQdCJTS7a
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANA7vm6mC5i4O
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1550Please respect copyright.PENANAqipd3gOaGB
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAlbT5RtVva9
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAcFHd08kl05
"I...1550Please respect copyright.PENANAyFGuxR2coV
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfPXBtN3lB2
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQzDB2O2hxl
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAL5P0BNsYYk
"How do you know that?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAtvFv12IlBP
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAlnwx59rqiI
Eric1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPMVwlWp3gE
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0tnPNyiqcj
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQNpBCc3o4N
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANA1IOUtxVg4Z
"You're right."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mm8zLYh7x
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAhxG9MO489Q
"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."1550Please respect copyright.PENANADOs12N9Tt1
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkk5oiJ0j8i
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.PENANAhVekXTh7ca
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1550Please respect copyright.PENANArVLYWCbHod
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAXMdj5uW7UK
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAL3YlUUnCeJ
Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9f2DAcQG7
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1550Please respect copyright.PENANALGPYWojNmh
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAiEbuDWtCG
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAEZUsAAFtmq
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAiRjZ3zFod0
"What things?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANARHoAGI6ntI
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAK8cPsmpLQt
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAvXtjeNe9Wy
"You're sure?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ0WvK5FAw
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAt5itSfo1Wd
Eric1550Please respect copyright.PENANA8mKqJS1pWB
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAijKpBzsCoX
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAhmKbZPi5uS
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAbcTEMIb7CU
of a person living the good life.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUJ7JYK47
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1550Please respect copyright.PENANAE1cbZOpYrM
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAllu8YwEHx8
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.PENANAqj3ojgzapA
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPaizFgcX8t
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAE2nbmpgWjs
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJJ1OwBn9
"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."1550Please respect copyright.PENANASpwGW4zB1n
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1550Please respect copyright.PENANAa0r20bgxXs
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA5tHiZxcQ2J
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAESoZ3vwmxm
stand her sister after everything.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoX0h5Yuyyu
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1550Please respect copyright.PENANA4wVRYpkDm4
"Sorry1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQlJ0MpVlZV
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1550Please respect copyright.PENANASd8wA4RZST
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAwzIav8INEJ
At1550Please respect copyright.PENANAfqCAJjRQXg
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA82n52uoFoX
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAe3adph33nf
was starting to like this man already. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAffVXtvsExh
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAAOgQcXoYgq
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAKAxsfgdKty
"Thank you."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAMW76JpaRrO
"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."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAQkmY3FKF9F
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1550Please respect copyright.PENANADjGyIUkFSG
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.PENANAgoHQy0kNHM
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1550Please respect copyright.PENANANx4r4M8taI
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANABtrpbt84sw
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1550Please respect copyright.PENANArC8T6YfsCQ
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAdHgewtbjcR
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1550Please respect copyright.PENANAdMWITYuXCa
"I hope you agree to it,1550Please respect copyright.PENANAoqBmKtumOf
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1550Please respect copyright.PENANA0vsg75saNM
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAPeJ4GZDMC9
Angel turned to face Mr 1550Please respect copyright.PENANAkRQ4xC9FNT
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1550Please respect copyright.PENANABMjqHq5Ea3
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1550Please respect copyright.PENANACSI1aKI7t4
coming.1550Please respect copyright.PENANAvg7t8YUytQ
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
