Angel's eyes flew 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFb0HuEmW2
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6uRSfpHNt
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLZo23DgFD
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoXRe2f7W0
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YdiZ6rwMZ
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCGp1UQqg
Angel quickly stood 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUKMx0tuQ
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG7DfFGImb
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQw1AKiy1G
dumb not to have realised it sooner.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Qe2y2aTj
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIyXJ8m22n
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nA5JP79b
Angel closed her eyes857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5mbWG2Gre
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0zJLoEnK
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKK4bNH19G
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7VUPlUfx8
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5iKASNuHf
"What do you mean?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaNSD0kLfS
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJEDJe5EZO
"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?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0EUconqOK
"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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytmivc6Lv
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVqcgbNuR7
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HuQYTZ79
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEQtJol1Yx
"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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwarAVwOI0n
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTheWRmijLO
Angel's mother gave 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEd2eiBUbJ
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSYsd8T2OP
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0xeikZFll
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAauagesste
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZphPvXDxBY
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6XnhDiAv7
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QjOPaxGpF
"You know I already gave you my word."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLcvElMxrN
"And I know that 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYx5LPfPti
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvTquyGAxv
please try to be patient with her, okay?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPFR57A0Vg
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPpHWKmkiM
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1XVDNy1tm
"Mum, wait, don't 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLIQ6feAyd
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI2RFbfqDT
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKx7gBQi15
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0RUNzWhEt
between them even bigger.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcjZjHdoLs
And then all of the 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXru1b1iExC
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdTZmwbZn
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hrdG5H3tO
***857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg9U08Jruk
It857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrbK3E9gW
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaB5V1ez7R
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5pFm3gT1
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5N7RGnkRn
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG1Q8aXJqH
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxhZWtBSJr
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVMJUHQf9B
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGChjbpUe
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Orm8nxPxx
was the ceiling above her.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrRy1dcqU0
Angel's857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xlB1Zs9SD
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3yUtjQ1qh
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKERImMRwe
her sister's voice.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ5p6i0gdr
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tuGdqSwEW
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXi3jcb5N
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKM2bsShSK
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t9W503og9
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6FNcKdOGN
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWFpDPn8Hq
"Please,857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFws8WzAUS
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFKjukDLg
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL05p9xsIyc
"I'm857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HsgRj6bt
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse2MUwUOd3
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu06gOCTru
everything at the moment.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJcP3lIp5Z
Carly's857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh4Xa3bacL
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLgH6crmly
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLn8EkyNS7
showed it all. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NgrVaF2ZC
"I857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIGux6Gb13
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj2yeucrWa
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT2zluqOT7
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNTUajrSvO
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWWcTfE3kx
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NCkU5hSRs
with remorse and her body ached even more.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3rc18pR6m
"I'm857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5JfwaxBZE
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI78xXyK2kG
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWDBtqGEcx
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oflm2lp0E
forgive me too."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitsWGPszAp
A857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SvIqfWtaf
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg2U0hr5L7
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYZh0l7DP
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfgKHoCoe6
footsteps. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwjoplik3L
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKpmvroo2s
"Well,857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2KhMZJNYn
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEJ6owmoMT
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiu3KxS8I
revive her."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauZcYs6Z3k
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW1YmUCC8R
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScjeUZgUII
Carly looked down at her857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqC8lLkfmu
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUp6xSEVy
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5HLFyj37
"And so as I," came the male voice.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw2EydXr6O
Eric soon appeared 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kP4e9Q3c
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbb3xT5oBb
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQq1yalbiR
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBsn5UnnE
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXvhrHiaUN
"You don't worry, she's 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCk00ATNch
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQyFGXpNz
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOv8PU7JC
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Wj8l4UZX
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyGnLFDhCa
Carly and Eric looked at857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei0c7LZOuv
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq6y6MMpXQ
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEJHInm8zd
"It's good to see you 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYYtAlnuNW
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxKLviFmQT
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCdCPCcW1
Angel saw the doctor 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o6pxMtAYL
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvGKlrEri
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1XXl1eFnh
rest was exactly what she needed.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Mf4IWa56
***857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXstFJbIdn
A857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NGqUYMkT
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbMrsQRFNF
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77LU9ZYqhE
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC66h6PVuP
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Q6zzVfk8
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeUQgZ41NJ
As857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2V2DKgc2d
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA36T9zxyx
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpY8BZQh8B
have. But she pulled through anyway. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotAk72PiHs
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LVnShPKIw
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtt1caJnm
Carly857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZyryqJYWh
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewtKDaHK3x
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGODecOxad0
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgKw3tY6h9
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkspwvilYcz
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oz16eMz1G
wouldn't say anything. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1AzOYhfc
Even857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fZKRql2eV
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSZEapadY
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog7HAeTVMS
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYUX4o8OL4
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRbKDrkMc4
Angel kept her mouth shut.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMV3Noc3mw
On857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNmm4q2zfd
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSmUssW1D
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyFOBDAciL
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuoxdIIr6
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaZazQmprM
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ8l3XA4cC
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNMQsehSod
sometimes.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw9AIUmARf
As857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldGS1Qx0I
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhEYlwAD5k
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqyXwj8o5D
"Hello, there," said Eric.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2cU8YNDaw
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnk7d7p35m
"Well,857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMGc8ItKR
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6JRJ7eby
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIcBGZBmrz
basket of fruits.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2PpnHrs4C
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3iRkiG4U1
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTJHA4F5D7
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ7pejkGSR
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmsc35mWuA
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqm99DfhxT
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Azq9ufLD
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT56LdUgBK
"I'll be right back," said Carly857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkuURjy412
Eric857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgcBkuY525
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ322u8skBVn
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GFFFM07hd
"I857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPCC5SwQV9
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc28lPNLzUD
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbQM1VpNp4
right?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0lcv6sETj
Angel nodded.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBMfPs0kyp
Eric857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZyZrixwjb
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxucPip2XZ
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzGttJyAGu
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU90JurVPDC
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZzuVDMfjV
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6x8EMpV2L
worse?857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV9THUeRTn
"But857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9uLJZHfLK
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPDpc2gAyn
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJjpyUSjS
mouth.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV234jCJRU
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSOrnr6oyp
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGQReI0LP
"That's857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ72xEDm1x
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EtLGuYMOI
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZSAYzuzBN
eyebrows. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthOuRA44Nq
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5jdYvUgk
Eric857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIyj1X8nob
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtotW7okw
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInNG2LYctp
dreaming.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh1saiPkGb
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURtOvSYL24
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXpS5rELJ
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F96mtuFOo
"I857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbYy5r61p
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC35NNTdKuI
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYZCn9V2i
quiet was the only way to keep calm."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7dzhjc3LI
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf6n6m0eM7
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe3j2ITynO
"Thanks, for what?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBLvnKj7pw
"For857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD238EwajY
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77c45kspv
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZHuETB16t
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCCrd52BHT
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxeY27T4wp
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajX8VCV3IH
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ879asxb4ri
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nkcDznvFJ
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC612nVRbU
"The....857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZIXSX6jRL
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDIpiTa9L6
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHsxvhw7r
mother's death and then nothing."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDZMx3Aok
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke9Q4zAbGT
"I857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I63JORHdP
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiejlRrTDZx
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0B6tpLlDS
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxbv1tyt1z
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOcGWcV82
do you know who did it?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeMmiqG62p
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGqgNrdHOL
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtaiJDTvoW
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkFzDmsszk
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24pFt3749c
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKSeDKG79g
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczcRgsRVGd

Carly."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXdkEq7UOX
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWxY2uIFbt
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ16KMKKwA
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOotA2b34
"Coming857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJVpIrBAG5
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4RDHmls83
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdjlVlbIk
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKw4wQ5EVS
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL9yTfsClP
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISHiVeEhK
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECGB3dC2cP
"I...857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKgnNtEliM
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nyGiRtX1
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcbMbGwGAD
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexlxMms7du
"How do you know that?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WCV4YAK1q
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSKvEI6EDD
Eric857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbYeBbCHeY
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HM9uR3wJw
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzJUn47zYA
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Okkn5xMw
"You're right."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4dgDLsTc
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iN6ZsGOsf
"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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3CwKHGBG3
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKVMd8Xv9x
"I'm857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTI5tQyi18
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsXi9rx919
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlq1wdhhEp
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3skQhR6lW
Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdsK10i0fw
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFf2nhJy2z
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnKOo6TqPZ
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtshNvamHu
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkQNe0Qkir
"What things?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1bRdZGa4Q
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMIyQXul3
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCDavStZj3
"You're sure?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV6BjVNIxg
"Of course, please do so, Eric."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qiIHrPRE
Eric857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ahsXGmO3
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3s8vxSVZ8
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCcPYMch9L
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEdnco7BBp
of a person living the good life.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP90K5yFYnf
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAha2IPiVh8
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CteDbjwvR
"I'm857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq3Z1YAh81
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJadCo8fei
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTlCtliAEa
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9g7vUE0Sn
"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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumDhxsTjsk
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0x4ZhzQZg
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkXVZHiou
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvbHTUeo3x
stand her sister after everything.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIT2DWXnzF
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTJ24jfgXa
"Sorry857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYHln6y2rt
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB472uGJRlf
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMzcBWzGKK
At857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBjLVKvQd
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOskGBuNH1
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7mTHd7slL
was starting to like this man already. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56CmnjnUss
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJeUvwwHfU
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1XI8BkUsc
"Thank you."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbMi57OdIm
"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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLj9ey9mDX
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYJDCbrJqn
"Well,857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqpfGqoIUu
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7dKQqDlT
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPOnNPtirg
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jp7kUWTI
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjlMSE2Vz6
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl7SSyvYoO
"I hope you agree to it,857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ytAh8QDiz
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq68MiGyDx
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39si1dujJN
Angel turned to face Mr 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZhMhHAfkU
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjj5nHuJk7
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwnW15eYDR
coming.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqtMEhrQx
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
