Angel's eyes flew 558Please respect copyright.PENANA8MTJYFLQOe
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 558Please respect copyright.PENANANH3q60EhaQ
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 558Please respect copyright.PENANAgtJXVsWHsv
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 558Please respect copyright.PENANAyFl8aMNv3a
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAYowbNDS37c
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.558Please respect copyright.PENANAunDfEc4UEy
Angel quickly stood 558Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1JbcwyAs7
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.558Please respect copyright.PENANA78jKOTkary
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 558Please respect copyright.PENANAQqBmKIHSvv
dumb not to have realised it sooner.558Please respect copyright.PENANAGCDDnaLZza
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.558Please respect copyright.PENANAzwEXubEqY3
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.558Please respect copyright.PENANAMwVWT4WkYK
Angel closed her eyes558Please respect copyright.PENANA5POCfGhLmr
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 558Please respect copyright.PENANAVN83t0OViO
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.558Please respect copyright.PENANAcLP0zoaSJY
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAh3jGPl4Vw9
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."558Please respect copyright.PENANAmfpByS2wMh
"What do you mean?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAiCUoM2m4u3
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."558Please respect copyright.PENANA1S2WOauhg1
"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?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAyGAfcQgN3r
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAFceZy0llLR
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.558Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJtRpIpm6
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."558Please respect copyright.PENANA4rHRbxGemV
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."558Please respect copyright.PENANATZDgG8Kdce
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAbK4StEVvfZ
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAyhlJLYETbr
Angel's mother gave 558Please respect copyright.PENANAHCqltwwaXH
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 558Please respect copyright.PENANA1EO3tnce4S
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer558Please respect copyright.PENANAQhrtBJ8N8V
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more558Please respect copyright.PENANAN2baLSgO4G
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 558Please respect copyright.PENANA5F2paPkk77
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 558Please respect copyright.PENANAb5PKKMN7il
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."558Please respect copyright.PENANAzWznLlCTDb
"You know I already gave you my word."558Please respect copyright.PENANA6yjUSDszNA
"And I know that 558Please respect copyright.PENANAvaLAu3FGNL
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 558Please respect copyright.PENANAGilYEuHiuK
please try to be patient with her, okay?"558Please respect copyright.PENANARE9ysI2x98
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.558Please respect copyright.PENANAZXeeUZc0Nt
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.558Please respect copyright.PENANAkdGxhcOcH2
"Mum, wait, don't 558Please respect copyright.PENANAPuStILem2v
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 558Please respect copyright.PENANAs1CtytUrrT
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 558Please respect copyright.PENANAuyfjubOBUD
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 558Please respect copyright.PENANAVHTowL3B68
between them even bigger.558Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pvh3lewSX
And then all of the 558Please respect copyright.PENANAmzdvgajIpX
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her558Please respect copyright.PENANAyroM7BjsiS
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.558Please respect copyright.PENANAf9hooXc4tR
***558Please respect copyright.PENANAdTwOLTTHWT
It558Please respect copyright.PENANAKLGZ04J7Hk
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 558Please respect copyright.PENANA2dXuSvCYAz
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 558Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXnrMUssM
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 558Please respect copyright.PENANAzkBDD3pTMU
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 558Please respect copyright.PENANAsHkz4mui9e
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a558Please respect copyright.PENANAXmioRrL5BZ
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 558Please respect copyright.PENANAKK4cFUb0j9
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 558Please respect copyright.PENANAMUOlswA0hz
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 558Please respect copyright.PENANAvh9iRN2xwm
was the ceiling above her.558Please respect copyright.PENANAtE6r0sTOwx
Angel's558Please respect copyright.PENANASZaM3R60jx
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 558Please respect copyright.PENANAAUgAKFJ19M
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 558Please respect copyright.PENANAeaU1UKCnsd
her sister's voice.558Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Fw3WK9ru
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 558Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Q0oOyycr
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANARmDPCvNF7z
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 558Please respect copyright.PENANAWCQN9YRCPZ
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 558Please respect copyright.PENANAWis7IZr1op
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 558Please respect copyright.PENANATBLUqko7uH
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.558Please respect copyright.PENANAY1GfdioRyT
"Please,558Please respect copyright.PENANAbNp0G8oTVx
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to558Please respect copyright.PENANAsYjGSnETyc
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.558Please respect copyright.PENANAPiQdljvv7z
"I'm558Please respect copyright.PENANA9tbBm1noDX
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 558Please respect copyright.PENANAGqeanfwMou
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process558Please respect copyright.PENANAinqB3ETf8a
everything at the moment.558Please respect copyright.PENANAqCpNwt2lxA
Carly's558Please respect copyright.PENANAWsu145fTPg
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 558Please respect copyright.PENANAajc5dhi6BR
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 558Please respect copyright.PENANAIZekk6v5ai
showed it all. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAu0BfGDu3v6
"I558Please respect copyright.PENANAvrf42UyLfU
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 558Please respect copyright.PENANAmheMXGM5M4
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."558Please respect copyright.PENANArUwlcGvkyn
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANAXL2v61hoxP
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears558Please respect copyright.PENANAHGwayVd51a
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 558Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bp96p0tj4
with remorse and her body ached even more.558Please respect copyright.PENANAtUR94QEd9Z
"I'm558Please respect copyright.PENANAmLmShJokY6
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 558Please respect copyright.PENANA3LTWH1V7BC
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 558Please respect copyright.PENANApnvRTlr0Wf
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 558Please respect copyright.PENANAlAqTg3CHsM
forgive me too."558Please respect copyright.PENANASqUZwEzQSu
A558Please respect copyright.PENANAqeTOmam5ie
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 558Please respect copyright.PENANAvVS71A1GlY
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly558Please respect copyright.PENANA4bC5KJU60s
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 558Please respect copyright.PENANAxCbHWAw753
footsteps. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAdGpzeFhQjW
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.558Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9UYFbBTaG
"Well,558Please respect copyright.PENANAJv0MJ1wMGs
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 558Please respect copyright.PENANAjavsdIfTIp
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 558Please respect copyright.PENANAbcgjbosEdI
revive her."558Please respect copyright.PENANAo51IYPaEKM
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAuu7dLDtCAW
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."558Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8aMz6bks
Carly looked down at her558Please respect copyright.PENANAK9zctCjeq8
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 558Please respect copyright.PENANAROdKWankdo
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."558Please respect copyright.PENANAC6IePo19Cb
"And so as I," came the male voice.558Please respect copyright.PENANAOnrrBpcAjl
Eric soon appeared 558Please respect copyright.PENANASxyWikyUSo
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 558Please respect copyright.PENANA9XKSqapJU3
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 558Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y34vjRe4w
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 558Please respect copyright.PENANA0D1RhAAC3b
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAt7K5RrYRcf
"You don't worry, she's 558Please respect copyright.PENANAz53DkhuE5j
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 558Please respect copyright.PENANAx9y55utfDv
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."558Please respect copyright.PENANAijfrwXI9Pa
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."558Please respect copyright.PENANAjMiAnlHlyM
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 558Please respect copyright.PENANABj6OhZF7MI
Carly and Eric looked at558Please respect copyright.PENANA6T42Vac9Xb
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 558Please respect copyright.PENANA4kIA2LAuFv
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.558Please respect copyright.PENANAkprrGzpbfj
"It's good to see you 558Please respect copyright.PENANAZAwHuKC5Pa
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to558Please respect copyright.PENANAX1jyIbfIP8
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."558Please respect copyright.PENANAYoYWhHYe14
Angel saw the doctor 558Please respect copyright.PENANAsLJ78ZXL1S
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 558Please respect copyright.PENANABhkRcA6gA4
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 558Please respect copyright.PENANAbjWvCTJTC7
rest was exactly what she needed.558Please respect copyright.PENANArlOS35ESSX
***558Please respect copyright.PENANA0gDwYqwRvC
A558Please respect copyright.PENANAhvt9FZjVli
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 558Please respect copyright.PENANA6eixMwLX2j
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 558Please respect copyright.PENANAYrOSJeMoNk
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 558Please respect copyright.PENANAm10rk7hwcR
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 558Please respect copyright.PENANAF3lL7M3ntG
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.558Please respect copyright.PENANAkJKENkaF9x
As558Please respect copyright.PENANAP59wniMT0v
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 558Please respect copyright.PENANAQdNXyBvRNT
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 558Please respect copyright.PENANAIhSydYuK2K
have. But she pulled through anyway. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAK9OHIg0cTp
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.558Please respect copyright.PENANAcXxO4VJP7B
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAQaq30agGoq
Carly558Please respect copyright.PENANA7hngYm8oZ8
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had558Please respect copyright.PENANAGjWZDBAWLF
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 558Please respect copyright.PENANAXDjSPzW0vW
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 558Please respect copyright.PENANAVeZeGz0rQm
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 558Please respect copyright.PENANAmy1A1B3Oo2
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 558Please respect copyright.PENANAInfmNqXM1I
wouldn't say anything. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAvZzTeswpRu
Even558Please respect copyright.PENANAZPxakqRl5w
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 558Please respect copyright.PENANAwqa2qQ59WA
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 558Please respect copyright.PENANA2owODdx84u
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was558Please respect copyright.PENANAKoCAW2V4Up
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 558Please respect copyright.PENANA9KmAL9rNa0
Angel kept her mouth shut.558Please respect copyright.PENANAozwASXCeWX
On558Please respect copyright.PENANALrInNYw9hN
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and558Please respect copyright.PENANA6aNQegYqn8
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 558Please respect copyright.PENANATXjEbC3Tp0
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 558Please respect copyright.PENANA43aUScF8eJ
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 558Please respect copyright.PENANA8RfeeckIKO
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over558Please respect copyright.PENANAtT8h4khHzM
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 558Please respect copyright.PENANAjstbM6HFkc
sometimes.558Please respect copyright.PENANAPn8VbWfPtt
As558Please respect copyright.PENANAdg5bIiLe8t
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 558Please respect copyright.PENANALuKLqcnGcc
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.558Please respect copyright.PENANAFlgLfK2Z7P
"Hello, there," said Eric.558Please respect copyright.PENANAqB5xrxNRw0
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.558Please respect copyright.PENANAzAst02gXhe
"Well,558Please respect copyright.PENANA42SdtOZ6SL
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 558Please respect copyright.PENANAXkChF7k83V
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 558Please respect copyright.PENANAauBNhmZm7Y
basket of fruits.558Please respect copyright.PENANAAHjwBCDUCr
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.558Please respect copyright.PENANAiWgh34hJ8M
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."558Please respect copyright.PENANArEggS8NaAj
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAw3uhnlKzF1
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.558Please respect copyright.PENANAbbwCcO4Kvx
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.558Please respect copyright.PENANAGNk9TPA6Dd
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.558Please respect copyright.PENANAgihbGwkYga
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAjYlhbGH3lj
"I'll be right back," said Carly558Please respect copyright.PENANAOWxXSFwN0k
Eric558Please respect copyright.PENANAUi2OjAQC6s
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 558Please respect copyright.PENANAcdGikjqFch
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.558Please respect copyright.PENANAwHzHlqL2f6
"I558Please respect copyright.PENANAghzKZNtd6B
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of558Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ahP9vr5L
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 558Please respect copyright.PENANAzIvdNCBcrF
right?"558Please respect copyright.PENANA8HDfnQxtbW
Angel nodded.558Please respect copyright.PENANAR0bjmw6jkZ
Eric558Please respect copyright.PENANAssGvPRgWGk
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 558Please respect copyright.PENANAs4sZ65smci
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."558Please respect copyright.PENANAUEFNiBH7OY
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAjfvHBVf
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have558Please respect copyright.PENANAzgxiyr7wSc
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 558Please respect copyright.PENANAF1ZrsQYQzx
worse?558Please respect copyright.PENANAXvLNEYJsaX
"But558Please respect copyright.PENANABg7bxlnTco
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 558Please respect copyright.PENANANslp9l6vP9
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 558Please respect copyright.PENANAOoBMjkr4ad
mouth.558Please respect copyright.PENANAL9ElL20BqW
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAtkt8clGRSY
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAl5ppYxVg27
"That's558Please respect copyright.PENANAoOs6XAQqY2
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 558Please respect copyright.PENANAXOPa6589ti
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 558Please respect copyright.PENANAYO3rNWzsbA
eyebrows. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAwBhAnVe3nG
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."558Please respect copyright.PENANAXqgHc1hfpP
Eric558Please respect copyright.PENANAe0yXUsoDNB
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know558Please respect copyright.PENANAP0XG2tbbQF
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 558Please respect copyright.PENANA1CRzNOtQgO
dreaming.558Please respect copyright.PENANAKu2OOKrrsY
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.558Please respect copyright.PENANAHh8FwEdyu2
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.558Please respect copyright.PENANAzcH8KwCPHq
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."558Please respect copyright.PENANAZefdIaGFFu
"I558Please respect copyright.PENANAbIhf4FbPpw
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 558Please respect copyright.PENANAX8dKtJYwJS
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 558Please respect copyright.PENANAgw4KKr029m
quiet was the only way to keep calm."558Please respect copyright.PENANA29WpaVWiUO
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."558Please respect copyright.PENANAvPJ27jEBmx
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."558Please respect copyright.PENANAX8K4UQeH1t
"Thanks, for what?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAmO68frSdFB
"For558Please respect copyright.PENANAEjmsCDqLbH
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 558Please respect copyright.PENANAUGoSVts89f
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a558Please respect copyright.PENANAeAXhtTBSdH
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."558Please respect copyright.PENANAyKClMb9xZa
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."558Please respect copyright.PENANAS2d2yTV1QY
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANAEbLC86bOtm
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 558Please respect copyright.PENANAgSGCnQFQWk
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 558Please respect copyright.PENANA3fFp6vbCtR
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."558Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6tzzE4vTM
"The....558Please respect copyright.PENANAUarbmymwT0
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 558Please respect copyright.PENANAFcjYLwZMMr
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 558Please respect copyright.PENANA4szQ2nSuze
mother's death and then nothing."558Please respect copyright.PENANA8iHMtIyMP6
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAIE9fEampnQ
"I558Please respect copyright.PENANAzOXPHwhRwn
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 558Please respect copyright.PENANAsLbq6fxyjw
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 558Please respect copyright.PENANAfcKDeGrX3g
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 558Please respect copyright.PENANAP4L6jMS0I6
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 558Please respect copyright.PENANAOY695i9i9z
do you know who did it?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAz6fDJgGUBL
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."558Please respect copyright.PENANAktlyvpWQWj
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAGhZbruH1dX
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAxgB82wa8pv
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAMV9lxVCloB
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."558Please respect copyright.PENANAx2SsKlO0gz
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."558Please respect copyright.PENANAhqYFdloTkK
"No,558Please respect copyright.PENANAYJCO88tpg3
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 558Please respect copyright.PENANAP7B15zp7kg
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 558Please respect copyright.PENANASqw7LvTvAB
Carly."558Please respect copyright.PENANAwXPm2uqXKn
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"558Please respect copyright.PENANACiMRIEEIKi
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."558Please respect copyright.PENANA00zGl3XX2r
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."558Please respect copyright.PENANAKFMeTtKm2v
"Coming558Please respect copyright.PENANAoFbnJKa0vH
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 558Please respect copyright.PENANAkGTZKh5p0D
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."558Please respect copyright.PENANAk8LWnLCqIC
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANAnxBAu5uCZe
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked558Please respect copyright.PENANAIrfyr56Lav
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.558Please respect copyright.PENANAF9LbYYKVGn
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAHqdvLf3hyS
"I...558Please respect copyright.PENANAwXh0gYxOts
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 558Please respect copyright.PENANAde1kybLEIX
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."558Please respect copyright.PENANAhujYt1SZbT
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"558Please respect copyright.PENANALdqAi82C06
"How do you know that?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAog65Nryy4x
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."558Please respect copyright.PENANA2LyW36Gf4M
Eric558Please respect copyright.PENANAoTZxLJBK4k
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 558Please respect copyright.PENANAUuDcVdHcms
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."558Please respect copyright.PENANAssZo5Kbk15
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAOsV6vi45KB
"You're right."558Please respect copyright.PENANAoBY6YYUULj
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."558Please respect copyright.PENANAJYdGexWJP3
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAAvrRqgsAoK
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.558Please respect copyright.PENANAUptaZpEHQR
"I'm558Please respect copyright.PENANAM3FVXj4Bif
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 558Please respect copyright.PENANA43YGuDxpw7
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 558Please respect copyright.PENANAUmi1hQmmm8
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."558Please respect copyright.PENANAFTG9eqqw80
Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5BGakgxQ
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 558Please respect copyright.PENANAksz8yRammA
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 558Please respect copyright.PENANACBeuzWnw2P
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.558Please respect copyright.PENANAyKxaMEhmJT
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."558Please respect copyright.PENANAFp225P4ivE
"What things?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAY53Ovt5N5L
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."558Please respect copyright.PENANABfquINbaMo
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."558Please respect copyright.PENANApV4ULwYonB
"You're sure?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAOPUE3cYy71
"Of course, please do so, Eric."558Please respect copyright.PENANARa9iHszaus
Eric558Please respect copyright.PENANAW6B5qsBqsU
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 558Please respect copyright.PENANAlD47XmYQv9
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 558Please respect copyright.PENANACTFCLqPoEw
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 558Please respect copyright.PENANApamxRh8z3l
of a person living the good life.558Please respect copyright.PENANAqP3aaqObcn
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAAzeVM3kDss
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAKpxSqbNEA6
"I'm558Please respect copyright.PENANABVZQBGSocT
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 558Please respect copyright.PENANAjdNT5Y10Z6
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 558Please respect copyright.PENANA96bye7Fh9F
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.558Please respect copyright.PENANAeFuarXpPMj
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAajE7HkD3J7
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel558Please respect copyright.PENANA94VE8UmAAN
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAvkP63UEqM6
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 558Please respect copyright.PENANA9mNle0tmhI
stand her sister after everything.558Please respect copyright.PENANAvLtCRMNcet
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."558Please respect copyright.PENANA5WxJ1IzB3C
"Sorry558Please respect copyright.PENANA4nCNhpoPzg
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 558Please respect copyright.PENANAlKHv5xRsVa
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."558Please respect copyright.PENANAY5seOY5mXR
At558Please respect copyright.PENANAteCcb54qrX
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 558Please respect copyright.PENANA4OoKQIiWVU
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 558Please respect copyright.PENANAXyQkyXgHtS
was starting to like this man already. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAui6MGIXeHC
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.558Please respect copyright.PENANAIebVeQlnIQ
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."558Please respect copyright.PENANAghURD7u4h4
"Thank you."558Please respect copyright.PENANAsL65gXmvJd
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAWE8ynwgXeW
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.558Please respect copyright.PENANA4GcyXmHJam
"Well,558Please respect copyright.PENANA4dNPUQo4BO
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.558Please respect copyright.PENANAAlBplmIYY6
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 558Please respect copyright.PENANADwhponQegt
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 558Please respect copyright.PENANAks4VZnz4OA
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 558Please respect copyright.PENANAJxLV8da75j
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."558Please respect copyright.PENANAdU7sKBU7si
"I hope you agree to it,558Please respect copyright.PENANAD4QNBgwpr1
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 558Please respect copyright.PENANA1twwucqlUd
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.558Please respect copyright.PENANANYQ1qqBBc1
Angel turned to face Mr 558Please respect copyright.PENANAQcG1bI8oue
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 558Please respect copyright.PENANAjDyOXrOTYR
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 558Please respect copyright.PENANAO3lparRKfZ
coming.558Please respect copyright.PENANAjduklLb9hX
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
