Angel's eyes flew 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCcIQRIX1Y
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz8fX4ojYV
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDSz9L36pN
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YF3mleBE7
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGoaF8OH5
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFlx2w6IgZ
Angel quickly stood 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgGjGeBBXg
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWF7GOwP7b
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCWZbjFNio
dumb not to have realised it sooner.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VQBm8wdSC
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUttPJkCmq
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPdN0kiZmT
Angel closed her eyes940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCh4W5pO3e
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSEP8fFP6c
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnzOjI9AiR
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2tPra8CDf
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9roha92Bd
"What do you mean?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNksvRhMbqx
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIYgQ2DDTD
"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?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0P6l3A2qQ
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwKdseOFLu
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQs2zfRZdJ
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBk1gmoYcN
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeQ4aTPOKu
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwLTEGiRFv
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7vlVHFNaU
Angel's mother gave 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt0AE4KiEo
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMxNwmj3ga
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxGnEpJtJO
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jrOvH05kN
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj2nYyowsv
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyApDL7Gr9J
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRvNO6p1T
"You know I already gave you my word."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehxd7vaL90
"And I know that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSp9MjjiMc
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NV08Q4Yas
please try to be patient with her, okay?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo7a1dGRM6
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8xlJ5cyW
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72A4csOKif
"Mum, wait, don't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsBMQhEad
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCBg0Izti
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyWwMLeNMD
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MBkaFWcMj
between them even bigger.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3yAAFCu8h
And then all of the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHphgzvzYi
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS7cdsZLoT
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7hI19UaR1
***940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqfEfXQPC0
It940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S0f9sidxb
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8iZGxYm07
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvD0TPVHpl
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EXO8UCGH
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA4w1c7sXK
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqotCST5P
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB46ebpkvK
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQtTdNI6Hs
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIZgsTrTu
was the ceiling above her.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DICLe9jcm
Angel's940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj6bJGU4T6
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MSYSPsKDT
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpg56WGYSV
her sister's voice.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9eDevdPFD
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwx0EsFRZ
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFTrqZhJG
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjA5vuzlAI
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFU5aKpA4
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsXOuJMtu
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRO16bjurd
"Please,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8QFjGxKXH
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKquX8j4oF
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwnuHQ2Np
"I'm940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdeLrNv3OM
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVefDHqRp9
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4G8eOTDfC
everything at the moment.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxZGNX0HoX
Carly's940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcwJex2fE
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxXcZxpbDG
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrG5msLESQ
showed it all. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5l4K7yMG
"I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZWo7boQR
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdKP4dT74r
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUjJL6AZbD
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXvwXbV3QO
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO2nKpCLDi
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73rsdu6NDf
with remorse and her body ached even more.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD2ReJa8A2
"I'm940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuFEmpvk05
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskHt5fVWHa
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1At2o5JUUX
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU8k7Gh3Sd
forgive me too."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDPv1tVdkm
A940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E88cI1V86
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDGNV3MoV
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2SAOMfHae
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3ypawqom
footsteps. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkMvY4DtiQ
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3XgmmBUQs
"Well,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJyzW7zPAt
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3agAMFqVk
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh6zU9zLM0
revive her."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77aL81MXma
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNIs1MJwm
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxCiVN0mq
Carly looked down at her940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOgArR7I0
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPzYUWIVnQ
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9kNBEfHNM
"And so as I," came the male voice.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIyhzFzigd
Eric soon appeared 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN30tWWqDCl
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DuITrmXUp
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3jRepjllw
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPtQltgZ0
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnbS1B3Q8L
"You don't worry, she's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndnS27SA0
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc32uva8YZ
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5WBueGXBi
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKskc0EriN
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjIsj2sIQD
Carly and Eric looked at940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGi1Da48gk
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcTChZ9Gf
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLU1wHW7m2
"It's good to see you 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkMoBTYssZ
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPnAzXMtMj
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE85HfRKxg
Angel saw the doctor 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJJwySyigP
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpO2EEWfoZ
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39AV8APrk5
rest was exactly what she needed.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDzPjdXiO
***940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrKkjaQyyZ
A940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0X6CAHjyo
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JVLWU56Pi
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnktAzS8a
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5mzIRwJtx
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8WnN6apT
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1o8Z8i5wM
As940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YkgfJIbG2
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFE56l5OsV
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCx5BJiHTh
have. But she pulled through anyway. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7SbpECUF
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbTgzHLdHJ
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6d2EsOhWu
Carly940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIOXdnHyZD
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhU7qJvn7c
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOduhJ0u3L
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOddJudLz66
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iSTm0KgV5
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH411ypXL
wouldn't say anything. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlo8rvSRzw
Even940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lEAx2rRs
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFELAOfyC6t
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3whgNlW9nT
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfUAWmifuj
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwzAxsJ1bp
Angel kept her mouth shut.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI06tL5FY06
On940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWewwciMXI
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5wIU1aJMy
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnZ5E82ZSs
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXUwELsKK7
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGH77e4kv6
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N3dFBhCaK
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswT1IqnvJv
sometimes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoVBhIcfd1
As940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSq2bbCXv8
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwugsv0hg
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8azbDvqRRN
"Hello, there," said Eric.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVpGp4IPlP
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHXJdqJjs
"Well,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd8o4RoOYN
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ocKANjVwc
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6CCFChSYT
basket of fruits.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HkOdQsLkj
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKU0JZStz1
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR2oN47a2n
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjrGKlIzY
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1zo0CpOM
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwu0qaKcnb
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfYwBQcINd
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fOBNOd6rB
"I'll be right back," said Carly940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadSPnCYHj
Eric940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIKwW2P28g
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPVm7TFVJ
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QMDDw6hc
"I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyER6ez9fb
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmcOTrs07y
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UrM3L0zYw
right?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjytobsMpj
Angel nodded.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqJwbxr6Kv
Eric940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidM5hpEev6
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxdchq7lWa
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QrrShGrzA
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXPT4CZbUg
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU56hubZUEz
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJiUeSUc75
worse?940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYnbTFh6A
"But940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0txWnSQ8
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRXQSeWQYT
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOxiS3Pjic
mouth.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuJBpDl14D
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImnj9iy4F8
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRcZ0MpZco
"That's940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEg3KRhvfh
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2TQlUguLO
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR5BbVFcL9
eyebrows. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8XXzLgd9M
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM2Az0PpC1
Eric940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCQFHL9IQB
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcJj2rPhIn
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TVxS7N0kr
dreaming.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL36fwrbtx
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETcq1tP9d7
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkQEtow45V
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ejCnVHy7G
"I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0zy4zE2x0
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVCEoCi3Pt
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuuOkgr5fu
quiet was the only way to keep calm."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dMwbKyHS
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvDEfF56F
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VAyiOn1Xi
"Thanks, for what?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg8RYIcva8
"For940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CubrmFuR
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc9mTubnBP
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpjFZTstEj
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qu6fcgxON
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvetOTKsJKP
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEca9c8LMA
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhNEfLBNc
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJHgud0XwG
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnVcGJdMo2
"The....940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBdyZfEjR
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ihBGglk33
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LgfIrvZO
mother's death and then nothing."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtKly5Cpxy
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7RHFIoQg4
"I940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL14SHP0td
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ng1eaDkhB
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsu8zpdpnl
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCaxK9DLeu
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9MnXyvLDB
do you know who did it?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIUL9VpZGO
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzwPr2B9nD
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0iqL2sgnf
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Czla7Hem
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUx8DHN7fG
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ZeeIqtWR
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zT5x86Ck
"No,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk187VhuDW3
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgqRwqULA
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QmVDankv
Carly."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3iLXXnk89
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bp7nRSW3c
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviR8xTCJc5
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwLrPG610
"Coming940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSohFusyR
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDl1aqyJKL
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE4BHLSkJT
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iaxP72DQs
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcktoi2mrob
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVJLggEZf2
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpH0I6unfV
"I...940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2BlfdvcFz
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQvSUxSD5
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYABvgqB0c
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2trbcwPHvP
"How do you know that?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfQnJHiIYo
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR5yzmzyhB
Eric940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOWhnkEvHs
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MImvBYw9
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCGTTzxwn
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPfVl52Z76
"You're right."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH9FbA3joa
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAU8oNRb2q
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblMmvVWgT
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmdGg57UaD
"I'm940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWhauZqzF
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGCKCt1oI
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYQ8MizlhP
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLNivy5mSv
Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeMRFoWZiW
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc3TNpjENj
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzEG1QtUbj
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAcaTHeXMN
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxti4DICQtJ
"What things?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuBz52TJuR
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC2gep2yjq
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVwsVkWSOQ
"You're sure?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrwfYLWTF9
"Of course, please do so, Eric."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmHg449RP
Eric940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbV5BQVfh9
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q5Ta7iMB1
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeIBHFJV4L
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3lIC6MPnl
of a person living the good life.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8FNXPwRlT
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡievf2bdHXN
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWyLmWFpHJ
"I'm940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck8uroVmxb
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6vTQOiO6F
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgPS12KV8t
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhR0zPbCOg
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLAZi2Ozj
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJC4fuf0uy
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnCT0C4kSh
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbAty9YcSh
stand her sister after everything.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl7JVLG28x
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpBsc9PyNP
"Sorry940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpLPGXjnF3
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4i89zoLZ4
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3I0WQ2br
At940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOnpCmwe0P
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHr8x9flf
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCt4zHwQl0
was starting to like this man already. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O922NYeeG
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f5fkiPI9F
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1MK0gjzzM
"Thank you."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR6W48QVJd
"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."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGWMvq638Q
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3xewDhazO
"Well,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnzuB674k7
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiJua4Zkhe
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagFIxKi6X
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql9D6zTnto
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrBKnFBmlo
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0uL30Xu6
"I hope you agree to it,940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22YOdfJboK
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6EYkA6kz0
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE7yA3y9Vq
Angel turned to face Mr 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHAqwiPjN
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5XJiDex9E
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65W9XsY3UD
coming.940Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tiTT0d09
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
