Angel's eyes flew 904Please respect copyright.PENANArM4fBSzwFo
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 904Please respect copyright.PENANANthXDEEJZj
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 904Please respect copyright.PENANAfDfBvEYaFG
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 904Please respect copyright.PENANA4SYTQce4wB
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 904Please respect copyright.PENANA6R0qz5Xllw
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.904Please respect copyright.PENANAtJVJsk5ufQ
Angel quickly stood 904Please respect copyright.PENANAKJj0KlRPsJ
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.904Please respect copyright.PENANAv2SKxuPOl6
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 904Please respect copyright.PENANAxFH8ajhP8q
dumb not to have realised it sooner.904Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7CPStNG1j
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.904Please respect copyright.PENANAi5P4aMPAwG
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.904Please respect copyright.PENANA08p1nhYUMB
Angel closed her eyes904Please respect copyright.PENANASMmuHCduzl
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 904Please respect copyright.PENANAYnM5lgvtrP
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.904Please respect copyright.PENANA1GMZdNqva8
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 904Please respect copyright.PENANApyOx41C0yp
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."904Please respect copyright.PENANAsKAwypQ3SM
"What do you mean?"904Please respect copyright.PENANADyhuGOFcK9
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."904Please respect copyright.PENANAIoiFR6GgQh
"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?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAxAtQWdxRJP
"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."904Please respect copyright.PENANAIAoeYNmEgW
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.904Please respect copyright.PENANAMocxnkGWzo
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."904Please respect copyright.PENANAAPeNSx1k3I
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."904Please respect copyright.PENANAlQy7d7QCNp
"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."904Please respect copyright.PENANAnfJmW6aJPR
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAPOt64F8CU3
Angel's mother gave 904Please respect copyright.PENANAH30qUOvYt1
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 904Please respect copyright.PENANA7bgDxk3Ejs
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer904Please respect copyright.PENANAf5NaznjPx0
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more904Please respect copyright.PENANA9isPVvjDEi
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 904Please respect copyright.PENANAxduuRDZknC
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 904Please respect copyright.PENANAohagi2proE
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."904Please respect copyright.PENANA0IG0ssWSnm
"You know I already gave you my word."904Please respect copyright.PENANAxBSKg1A8ym
"And I know that 904Please respect copyright.PENANAhhgGdbanrC
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 904Please respect copyright.PENANAAtOE9qlKTn
please try to be patient with her, okay?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAEUFMf9OiO2
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.904Please respect copyright.PENANArneeSuONwm
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.904Please respect copyright.PENANAKnHfDHoAjQ
"Mum, wait, don't 904Please respect copyright.PENANA5RCDNP2jo1
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 904Please respect copyright.PENANAyGY7MJJo9h
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 904Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7wkhBB0H2
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 904Please respect copyright.PENANATdqd57mgG1
between them even bigger.904Please respect copyright.PENANAjwsHQi4K7H
And then all of the 904Please respect copyright.PENANAp9aVZlJBmA
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her904Please respect copyright.PENANAKrtXpxgnS3
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.904Please respect copyright.PENANACbjNlY7uZR
***904Please respect copyright.PENANAWgpiNGmC7S
It904Please respect copyright.PENANAbcLWGsPW9D
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 904Please respect copyright.PENANAkCVnZ8of0L
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 904Please respect copyright.PENANAICs8d3sLIZ
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 904Please respect copyright.PENANAke2C1UGdV6
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 904Please respect copyright.PENANAOLdQDMSqz8
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a904Please respect copyright.PENANA58mtKdU8fz
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 904Please respect copyright.PENANAQsXIdG6oMX
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 904Please respect copyright.PENANAnt6oke5yQ7
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 904Please respect copyright.PENANA7g2ryoo82D
was the ceiling above her.904Please respect copyright.PENANA2syBrX5HFG
Angel's904Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z5koKStt7
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 904Please respect copyright.PENANA0JNzhpqI7q
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 904Please respect copyright.PENANAiGkhkLyKSw
her sister's voice.904Please respect copyright.PENANAZXLBRYtzSw
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 904Please respect copyright.PENANAdeKYjtTqY5
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANAYm2fyX5Pyr
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 904Please respect copyright.PENANALnCgzTIRHb
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 904Please respect copyright.PENANA5wS0MSpjfg
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 904Please respect copyright.PENANAz1fJeNMNjA
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.904Please respect copyright.PENANAxu9TXtF6Ws
"Please,904Please respect copyright.PENANAPIqAqI4MHE
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to904Please respect copyright.PENANAq4T3FQrQ2D
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.904Please respect copyright.PENANA9wTBg07pyg
"I'm904Please respect copyright.PENANAl0P4azsKHS
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 904Please respect copyright.PENANAX24TD0bI7l
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process904Please respect copyright.PENANA8CdpilNkVT
everything at the moment.904Please respect copyright.PENANA3xnmtysbAl
Carly's904Please respect copyright.PENANAa5skdmkMKW
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 904Please respect copyright.PENANA7KtK3G03fv
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 904Please respect copyright.PENANA8ePIRpSCmM
showed it all. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAeSEC2DvRow
"I904Please respect copyright.PENANAktWmVj7UvZ
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 904Please respect copyright.PENANAiysOgrlgeR
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."904Please respect copyright.PENANAsxDFqCThzJ
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjo8cACde
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears904Please respect copyright.PENANAYN0buAMi9B
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 904Please respect copyright.PENANAXVJeIJzzyb
with remorse and her body ached even more.904Please respect copyright.PENANAhdPsgBtYPA
"I'm904Please respect copyright.PENANAwHXP4d4K5N
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 904Please respect copyright.PENANAjxUyN9ciU7
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 904Please respect copyright.PENANAmQUmV39mxS
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 904Please respect copyright.PENANAmopDM7ZtXp
forgive me too."904Please respect copyright.PENANAIigfde8iwU
A904Please respect copyright.PENANAyT9UUJQqY5
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 904Please respect copyright.PENANAsYQwQc2eEf
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly904Please respect copyright.PENANAhlJK3JSnIy
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 904Please respect copyright.PENANAj4bWpGD99O
footsteps. 904Please respect copyright.PENANALhx6NptgoT
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.904Please respect copyright.PENANAvlPtcCyRZs
"Well,904Please respect copyright.PENANAxHmSDvlC2I
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 904Please respect copyright.PENANAYH6iYL0pF8
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 904Please respect copyright.PENANAF0jDbfuz5l
revive her."904Please respect copyright.PENANAOdPHGadIHx
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 904Please respect copyright.PENANANhhlWtiDYa
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."904Please respect copyright.PENANAYSMxAffvGw
Carly looked down at her904Please respect copyright.PENANAIVtscRZdIK
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 904Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Qlfp14kr
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."904Please respect copyright.PENANAU5hKZOGJls
"And so as I," came the male voice.904Please respect copyright.PENANA0PtbkdwBGE
Eric soon appeared 904Please respect copyright.PENANA4um5P900ah
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 904Please respect copyright.PENANAz1WSUEUTyR
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 904Please respect copyright.PENANAQOfb4n4A9C
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAYAaX3D7wRA
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAS53aXgEdao
"You don't worry, she's 904Please respect copyright.PENANAyKMZkge1DU
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 904Please respect copyright.PENANAYPfnEV1Vfm
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."904Please respect copyright.PENANAwTQti92eMA
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."904Please respect copyright.PENANA2OFYdf6jbF
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAOctH5VWSST
Carly and Eric looked at904Please respect copyright.PENANAH386TBh9dK
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 904Please respect copyright.PENANAjcm65I7l8C
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.904Please respect copyright.PENANAiYG3HI7gV5
"It's good to see you 904Please respect copyright.PENANAzEY8yPAOc8
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to904Please respect copyright.PENANAbmSasfKYVo
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."904Please respect copyright.PENANAlZKmRovSYs
Angel saw the doctor 904Please respect copyright.PENANAZZL68ctORl
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 904Please respect copyright.PENANASL87bvV2tR
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 904Please respect copyright.PENANApHbr3qctKf
rest was exactly what she needed.904Please respect copyright.PENANABACHint4L1
***904Please respect copyright.PENANAFcvbaLtbbu
A904Please respect copyright.PENANAmqPqqK6B2P
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 904Please respect copyright.PENANAsLWxW53GqX
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 904Please respect copyright.PENANARsS8CjuTYe
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 904Please respect copyright.PENANAHBc4KnFgbY
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 904Please respect copyright.PENANABquPJANsvu
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.904Please respect copyright.PENANAbEubxTllt2
As904Please respect copyright.PENANAuGHcDqtyuc
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 904Please respect copyright.PENANACUSWpGVmYN
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 904Please respect copyright.PENANAuXsqpWFqgF
have. But she pulled through anyway. 904Please respect copyright.PENANA8nPPQplRYN
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.904Please respect copyright.PENANANHYIiYyubE
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAlaHdNUiJDx
Carly904Please respect copyright.PENANANLruZ6clPS
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had904Please respect copyright.PENANApOWSTW4L0y
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 904Please respect copyright.PENANAf8BVyQ3z4k
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 904Please respect copyright.PENANAxaxUAbIWcA
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 904Please respect copyright.PENANAlce9P41Q9D
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 904Please respect copyright.PENANAveNf5TsgW6
wouldn't say anything. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAuoay80ej7J
Even904Please respect copyright.PENANASlLLzlREAq
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 904Please respect copyright.PENANA2bOVfeUSNk
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 904Please respect copyright.PENANAZRP3OXVUNN
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was904Please respect copyright.PENANAs0yUuNXb3d
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 904Please respect copyright.PENANAHrNr8Ci2Pc
Angel kept her mouth shut.904Please respect copyright.PENANAW2z3Ks1Yju
On904Please respect copyright.PENANAsLybhzTX56
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and904Please respect copyright.PENANAE72TFKR15p
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 904Please respect copyright.PENANAd5VCmZJGsb
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 904Please respect copyright.PENANAXzP372bTJO
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 904Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1BB2kqPEl
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over904Please respect copyright.PENANApctf4mEbye
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 904Please respect copyright.PENANAkjqCmF9SiZ
sometimes.904Please respect copyright.PENANAQyuqPCtcmS
As904Please respect copyright.PENANAjUD4cOwuy3
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 904Please respect copyright.PENANA675oOX1B6X
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.904Please respect copyright.PENANACmMvvaaHfq
"Hello, there," said Eric.904Please respect copyright.PENANASiiiE2V4jy
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.904Please respect copyright.PENANAb6867Pqp8B
"Well,904Please respect copyright.PENANAH0anDgltIc
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 904Please respect copyright.PENANAOFeMA1lx0z
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 904Please respect copyright.PENANAX864YRHOrP
basket of fruits.904Please respect copyright.PENANAoLpvHsHPFz
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.904Please respect copyright.PENANAJtNacTo1FY
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."904Please respect copyright.PENANAjo2cdwuzBl
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"904Please respect copyright.PENANA58jhAh8VWc
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.904Please respect copyright.PENANAVvJXrOwHWY
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.904Please respect copyright.PENANA4iNixWrmES
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.904Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZhS1ED7MW
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAINnLCkuYVi
"I'll be right back," said Carly904Please respect copyright.PENANAnCVBPqzq7o
Eric904Please respect copyright.PENANAYNqAUFztGH
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 904Please respect copyright.PENANAvCtMhuw3U8
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.904Please respect copyright.PENANAcwNPKWzEAo
"I904Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJLMJTfR4
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of904Please respect copyright.PENANARKqDdJtcPc
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 904Please respect copyright.PENANA3do15KSE2h
right?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAznT9ky5cdp
Angel nodded.904Please respect copyright.PENANAOi2uO9nU0t
Eric904Please respect copyright.PENANAoOJRWO2wZu
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 904Please respect copyright.PENANAsCQlzn32bX
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."904Please respect copyright.PENANA7uFtXUzkK5
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANABo8JYyW0BM
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have904Please respect copyright.PENANAsHnIxoZSSe
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 904Please respect copyright.PENANAe3mPIAtwer
worse?904Please respect copyright.PENANAnYNZKnucam
"But904Please respect copyright.PENANAam7efB1wj1
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 904Please respect copyright.PENANALdsTgwC2sl
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 904Please respect copyright.PENANAwy3J2rYZWs
mouth.904Please respect copyright.PENANAqvDUsTG3pF
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAzRtNUxdUDy
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAesBM5DTuch
"That's904Please respect copyright.PENANAcDaHm7dRaw
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 904Please respect copyright.PENANAm9gaQNs9Kg
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 904Please respect copyright.PENANA6jdLUAZXU0
eyebrows. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAoQKxfw8mga
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."904Please respect copyright.PENANAdTRR8Gfr0T
Eric904Please respect copyright.PENANASgOT7ABdNW
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know904Please respect copyright.PENANAIpBI8xmsy7
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 904Please respect copyright.PENANAx6tZnj2l56
dreaming.904Please respect copyright.PENANAEKRFK4RxCU
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.904Please respect copyright.PENANAwWkkDG7M3o
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.904Please respect copyright.PENANA8pdbe04bia
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."904Please respect copyright.PENANAkA3W4fZQKZ
"I904Please respect copyright.PENANApC9bTT3UF6
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 904Please respect copyright.PENANAUZS32nMnCI
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 904Please respect copyright.PENANA9gETY7OmcG
quiet was the only way to keep calm."904Please respect copyright.PENANAFcumsc7H02
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."904Please respect copyright.PENANAuSiL6f2e1U
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."904Please respect copyright.PENANAozxHKIfqYO
"Thanks, for what?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAqtheuP2kaY
"For904Please respect copyright.PENANAvcp8TkdKaq
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 904Please respect copyright.PENANADIrZQxYr0m
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a904Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3iqeG7SMR
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."904Please respect copyright.PENANAlk7a6uv3Qt
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."904Please respect copyright.PENANANSLy2cledr
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANApaennq1fxB
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 904Please respect copyright.PENANArGaCiYusEw
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAyWokIxaCPn
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."904Please respect copyright.PENANAKc00AI5WLR
"The....904Please respect copyright.PENANA1zTZHyLSu9
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 904Please respect copyright.PENANA4JerasOt38
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 904Please respect copyright.PENANAIMQ9ToBZK2
mother's death and then nothing."904Please respect copyright.PENANAg8hvUDZloD
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"904Please respect copyright.PENANA3vvbCMxCl1
"I904Please respect copyright.PENANAHmwHjiXOoC
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 904Please respect copyright.PENANAL8PHlY69pi
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 904Please respect copyright.PENANAjUx5RIqjBc
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 904Please respect copyright.PENANA2wfHfzTeah
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 904Please respect copyright.PENANADHesJqz6O1
do you know who did it?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAJDpP0vf4ud
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."904Please respect copyright.PENANAlBrugw6xHc
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"904Please respect copyright.PENANA1GyTHt7hTj
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAZwf4PUp0gM
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAoZyB57yAL5
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."904Please respect copyright.PENANADDyQUPg8tz
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."904Please respect copyright.PENANA9qwZ7yNTsz
"No,904Please respect copyright.PENANA2VmxifVQ16
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 904Please respect copyright.PENANAQzx5n0NQGw
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 904Please respect copyright.PENANAIFdipxlRjI
Carly."904Please respect copyright.PENANAaqEfocOrpt
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAsTBnKmNymi
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."904Please respect copyright.PENANAcq74fYmhgp
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."904Please respect copyright.PENANAeTaTX6TdHL
"Coming904Please respect copyright.PENANAdz3fnIFZq3
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 904Please respect copyright.PENANAnW7IBrEtn0
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."904Please respect copyright.PENANAayuo0vD8YR
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANAbuXUo0m9Oj
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked904Please respect copyright.PENANAjfX3pl4YvZ
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.904Please respect copyright.PENANAaIODG23gJj
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAJMegScm0IQ
"I...904Please respect copyright.PENANAhD7NZcAWWF
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 904Please respect copyright.PENANAHFc8g4On7B
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."904Please respect copyright.PENANAjp1m75GGXR
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAPZkoDvtzhM
"How do you know that?"904Please respect copyright.PENANA2gNB3UOzB1
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."904Please respect copyright.PENANAgqCzTb7C5I
Eric904Please respect copyright.PENANAnqT9KEUAlr
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 904Please respect copyright.PENANAB2KtGEdZC0
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."904Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7N4EQefC
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"904Please respect copyright.PENANADqCtUlsjQH
"You're right."904Please respect copyright.PENANAFAE8BFHZtz
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."904Please respect copyright.PENANAMOTWXBzmyK
"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."904Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ub7GrEC6
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.904Please respect copyright.PENANAO5GMyx0dMY
"I'm904Please respect copyright.PENANA5IUOIcuuSS
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 904Please respect copyright.PENANA0giwNDEA5a
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 904Please respect copyright.PENANAT51zFR2XTV
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."904Please respect copyright.PENANAWeSjsi29kJ
Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANASunM0YtCj0
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 904Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ6YlBleKi
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 904Please respect copyright.PENANAQC6eZAUNlA
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.904Please respect copyright.PENANAvdvakFFPRj
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."904Please respect copyright.PENANAbnHjPzlYX9
"What things?"904Please respect copyright.PENANA4EMHyDiTqO
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."904Please respect copyright.PENANAqAaAsY6xwl
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."904Please respect copyright.PENANAd0MYxek42z
"You're sure?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAP1pf5G1WN6
"Of course, please do so, Eric."904Please respect copyright.PENANAJZxXDzNX5w
Eric904Please respect copyright.PENANALuXZZLK6TX
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 904Please respect copyright.PENANAznbFJ0U3Ud
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 904Please respect copyright.PENANASjs0xgzTwO
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 904Please respect copyright.PENANAilG0287CXG
of a person living the good life.904Please respect copyright.PENANAES9tqTFn0h
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"904Please respect copyright.PENANAEiBeMzKYPh
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 904Please respect copyright.PENANALr4NAJ3CIz
"I'm904Please respect copyright.PENANAokW7GDW74R
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 904Please respect copyright.PENANAMss8SXYzL9
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 904Please respect copyright.PENANAeZMNtPeVVy
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.904Please respect copyright.PENANA64w9FGrzlO
"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."904Please respect copyright.PENANAXoBxiuDg9s
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel904Please respect copyright.PENANAmFNHthoRtG
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAScb2uPwduP
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 904Please respect copyright.PENANAzBLRQfxSYk
stand her sister after everything.904Please respect copyright.PENANACMXUJ499Qv
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."904Please respect copyright.PENANAJcoFe65eHZ
"Sorry904Please respect copyright.PENANAkRd5wKYgmM
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 904Please respect copyright.PENANAYml863no6c
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."904Please respect copyright.PENANAF4I8oJytJB
At904Please respect copyright.PENANAoyMynw9YZ0
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 904Please respect copyright.PENANAL2M1TwMYtI
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 904Please respect copyright.PENANADtpT5tSPeU
was starting to like this man already. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAwixfkizCFg
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.904Please respect copyright.PENANANIBP1wVlkF
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."904Please respect copyright.PENANAVtkTqD1pxN
"Thank you."904Please respect copyright.PENANA5KGqjcNoH5
"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."904Please respect copyright.PENANAfe8StvfDsu
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.904Please respect copyright.PENANAKPpyMj8oYe
"Well,904Please respect copyright.PENANA0MbKqNGClb
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.904Please respect copyright.PENANAJUf09j5JDq
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAEBwMVfNlMU
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 904Please respect copyright.PENANAAwClzLCG65
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 904Please respect copyright.PENANAhPIUvQ8c2T
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."904Please respect copyright.PENANA5ysFC5dvZW
"I hope you agree to it,904Please respect copyright.PENANACMUQW74Bms
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 904Please respect copyright.PENANAJLZap83Vz9
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.904Please respect copyright.PENANAbVbHlPFIzi
Angel turned to face Mr 904Please respect copyright.PENANAmrKAIUhWts
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 904Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q64rmyBya
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 904Please respect copyright.PENANARfVMraWaey
coming.904Please respect copyright.PENANA8IRAmCohEy
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
