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.
