Angel's eyes flew 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZR5zVsJa4
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2y0ePWFT9
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJmSlJ1v9O
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLFoPFgPC
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmwCpDcRs9
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavbslq4ro
Angel quickly stood 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyOcZqpWx2
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa54EUV4ID
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucAhTGXO3
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjnXChXeNB
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxUPcqz8ef
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5AohKKQqM
Angel closed her eyes1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQALXGkJj
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIaplQoKgJ
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbaElfSdYg
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HjV97vh8o
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPOyZIZRf5
"What do you mean?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzRhM9MCND
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYuI34CuDD
"But why did you leave me?" Angel asked with tears in her eyes. "Things have gone horribly wrong and this is the time to leave?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vanly0oEV
"I'm sorry I can't answer that, my dear. I wish I could. I know you're heartbroken over everything thats happened to you."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEOZfaItzB
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcjRMtr73R
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNNLcbIHxv
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuXDumoo9N
"I know you don't mean that, Angel. As much as she has done wrong, nothing is going to change the fact that you're sisters."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJtmBSJco
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREbNmKZaLf
Angel's mother gave 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCOKjdukv
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwC9IWkj36
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMD2vQDCM
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9kKxgs6E4
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmc1g2SUju
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGPUswLtSo
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYSWYcp1FJ
"You know I already gave you my word."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW1sWsjJ7E
"And I know that 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX7tR8AwfZ
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl006gLikM
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VwQNbinkn
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyAbTcDX6W
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgAFmOH4BE
"Mum, wait, don't 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13HzyLMHH5
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0bZe3RXE7
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUeUJYYumH
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDYsNqj5a
between them even bigger.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd2886t98v
And then all of the 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ572a0dfjPX
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NzJ8y70Gw
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Iq0AHVqm
***1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMqAdhd0mG
It1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf3McJrkC2
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6jj21aOd6
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mahiz4A9j
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJKLmwLm76
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrczTCQGzu8
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IroPpgD0C
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sn4hgwt59
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJEu0z13RR
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEutFV69Dz
was the ceiling above her.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NM0QfpK4E
Angel's1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PC4WbZP2Y
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQdN9Skpi
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQQ4rabSQm
her sister's voice.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOwvDbj4v
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQRsKrgA2
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO20CFN5WMr
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KkyP1cY8s
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOmB5rHjcf
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cfDUyPKCQ
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihqtNqjI1p
"Please,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYrxMjr6A1
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhPI4RIcL6
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMStW3BQ5g
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJEPVId38
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZEND6Fsq
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAaMxqkxS
everything at the moment.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwIkjJc9s7
Carly's1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhdfVxp1cK
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZnvOieG4
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk31gST6czI
showed it all. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4obkEw9MjK
"I1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltEb7DTTd
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CeAZW2FL
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6b5JfQWd
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IjWYL2rbE
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJvrD6SGFx
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1dgsNMIKa
with remorse and her body ached even more.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiq5SK3Z6a
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIQDA1t8E0
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXLScUV9MY
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VVtgJUCtp
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnQ77A49vX
forgive me too."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsSBysFZW0
A1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3YlQ9eUL7
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpwdhpnGRw
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKRPVbT6cy
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhljUi1a64
footsteps. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTRicgIol
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ7CS4LZ3K
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCdsD4CVea
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKRR0MfZhv
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk7hcRZbFX
revive her."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUaO4Fs8Dv
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2wIA3BTir
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP43s673ol
Carly looked down at her1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfszEHwWSE
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6eLq0pAK
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOVkKLRwDX
"And so as I," came the male voice.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5osM4LL4ne
Eric soon appeared 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DeJj8WLh
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TfytkfWPM
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNEUhYcaRz
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeBOaoz2bF
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhxGmNXB4
"You don't worry, she's 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEdUs8RbhQ
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0pARm372f
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14nBxAiCM
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5DUEhc2J
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5k9MTMiSB
Carly and Eric looked at1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48su3HUbtM
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZLZ2c6X46
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuyu5GyXV
"It's good to see you 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc98zey1FkL
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ErlcGeHO
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eyUaIrqu5
Angel saw the doctor 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftcrAXzgm
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0oJS52hR
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz5ZtB107V
rest was exactly what she needed.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvpimz7wC
***1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo32YJ32ugO
A1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom6C8H1WWv
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrbxyf3YFb
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOx5DCrtfe
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbGtuCSKtD
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdVypiLOdG
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYIblWnkt
As1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7un5hGOe
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnkxWueexH
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYizTrKyko8
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih64NFKHrP
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lukvzOUyU
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jRWEfN1v
Carly1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4hdLbSLW
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9BThH3Al
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqqoxpi80j
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMejeUawX
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnA2OtGgG
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuD2Gojn3M
wouldn't say anything. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEySOKxui
Even1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaTkSoGMd7
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyF9XzkQM
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAGZJlW3YT
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3Kq5Vrby
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPDi4Xo0bM
Angel kept her mouth shut.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuypzYSNS15
On1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtPIBREZ3
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaXe3p2qT2
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZn3qBQSoe
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGsoJo9gY
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidJIL129yJ
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAeGD7jAIY
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct3Gezp5Y4
sometimes.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PFh2C6FI
As1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5adDyulL
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8jupdpud5
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxX6gdXoer
"Hello, there," said Eric.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKL5RijQHO
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBYnIx1BZf
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ZHBDW5r8
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsIYXaYPz
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdtlbW1gPp
basket of fruits.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZAZIQiyqr
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iOw6OBRKB
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzcCTfPs74
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDhpuGWpW
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdVU9CpkNj
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBdzd68OYI
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbFqqW4uiH
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOaPGOQ42N
"I'll be right back," said Carly1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJxlbPpW1Q
Eric1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJC7kr0N8
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxCHQGonNi
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo1TioNzek
"I1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25F4YWfD50
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmPdKM50Ne
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHAEHFNdCF
right?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgB6Nrl0qB
Angel nodded.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Rjvx8NQf
Eric1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCJFvNDWdN
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qgs58cbwB
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMleUk6tdHw
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHfQxPTra
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Q6oqKYCv
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJc4Kuv0C5
worse?1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvzQVQHpju
"But1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wkeoB7bS6
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmupNh1e2wn
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RUBrCMyBs
mouth.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YxoNr2re
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1MZCGLGe
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HO8HwNeB4
"That's1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjXBdBy9MJ
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxESeIiJwn
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouad0n9hKe
eyebrows. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oMjBBsSnE
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFtWSuwIyo
Eric1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFZZUCuWEU
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzgRIdQttd
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jWlyp3Md
dreaming.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aRMrjz32V
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnPfmMKTY2
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPxBlajAYL
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAJ0nqw5Z
"I1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaHXayo7At
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhwEjJjSrl
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKD2ITgbsG
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQhllQHKd
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmExD1sQi6f
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVgvmFgDzi
"Thanks, for what?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnOEU9zGM8
"For1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlaUMkjCqU
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEJu5hsMM
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASSZq4Bs4J
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnV42Isbb
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgWkAOTafR
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzZiWAkJZ
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf4j9uD8Ri
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE4DGUygoO
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjw4tPJpJd
"The....1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwce7Juu4U
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWCRgL66F
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4L02vcFXk
mother's death and then nothing."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRpZWBET5X
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpUDgioIK
"I1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecP6B5m5TE
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xKNgLmGqk
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhu7Xj63hR
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89vW3Dcd9L
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOCn5XXE1h
do you know who did it?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QgF1XR0xv
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS5LyVzFsR
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3JY42RVZ
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcRC2E5gks
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuY21kQ508
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r2Ceqj7Q6
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pf2lhnODv
"No,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oSZFWm3ra
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jrIj99Hy
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsB3ndUQtB
Carly."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6SvffWeC
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaIk8RiSpI
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoUtaTGbEz
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w3wsodRqc
"Coming1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItrSlIQCk
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfZe7WicY4
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuv1nSOLp4
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalMbEb3u9T
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuviPKcBCe
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKq6cq6cNv
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFqfNf2KCN
"I...1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqfym1IeA
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdsE87k1H
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonbGz8km6L
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyijR6vhlFv
"How do you know that?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3a0shx1c
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3sycXfvhQ
Eric1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QOfQjikSG
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJccGxYYfeS
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcWcOVZebm
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsdC0E0i6m
"You're right."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisJ2uo5t8G
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UB9A1MMbS
"No, it isn't him. He wouldn't even dare come to this place," said Eric, "Carly is talking to my uncle, Leo's father."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfL3lZ9Cx
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHjo4nVG2R
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1qCR6etI
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcxox4HMWq
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdDJyJqZ3T
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrebJ9gfeXM
Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fp2K5glgy
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96crnuADLZ
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEZtmuN2ng
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq2nQ9kmsW
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4d91FxXMX
"What things?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd3CeRyQBy
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dx5PqYWs
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJTL5nCRM
"You're sure?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wkz6nbbuP
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7BJ1OjnY
Eric1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AgGJ7pZJq
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGzdyMMcA4
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tZCZ7676
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGQvR11AE
of a person living the good life.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jyfnvwMuD
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRad8Zdkey
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16tvzfk30
"I'm1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyILnXKwrS
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodbUMkC0Yz
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzz4yc1phT
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNd4AzEQoa
"I thought you were still mad at me and didn't want to talk to me anymore," said Carly, "I did say I was sorry."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuAHCJnTHN
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2pcNxkqcp
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPsvPuS9a
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjVeCRzb4
stand her sister after everything.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7pe6xJqte
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa443goiTw8
"Sorry1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHJ478SaL
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzIaYQ2ipI
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6POzmur6Z
At1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAciuYmuo89
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qFfPZU86B
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuoXxkYnF9
was starting to like this man already. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FmhZ3fFah
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBobfNBBh6A
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVA0DNY7To
"Thank you."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm7kRbqczz
"I also came to apologise on behalf of my son, Leo. I know he hasn't been here to apologise, but please don't be too offended."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKIu4bOuLC
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrytPOiIN
"Well,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzUnq8etOl
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt2jMk1RXG
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR1ERm8TYy
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKlaAg4ptq
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UPBEyorFk
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uxj1KP0jK
"I hope you agree to it,1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2uhyyF8uv
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ssfNLmKy
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPICcXDPkv6
Angel turned to face Mr 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O4ZtlvkZ4
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPxb1cLkJu
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIXh5JrSi
coming.1550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqScar8zhTp
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
