Angel's eyes flew 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5rK7hzip
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNTGR8XDLF
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31OAipRUw
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AQm7R2ZAN
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7WUp0haa3
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBca3z30Xbn
Angel quickly stood 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfJVnBAabZ
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG8F3ABkvv
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0xhdGbohH
dumb not to have realised it sooner.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIncVe19bn
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvpo6AcFEQ
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSLIvqog00
Angel closed her eyes925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwiu7JAcuG
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HNOZJV1qo
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCWpc3jkHe
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKt88uJMQa
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i6Em2WiyO
"What do you mean?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYxOAbYrSZ
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOcLspXcw
"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?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Rtv1wCPn
"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."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgZBOx8Raw
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMfgaHsyFE
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV52qVnUaRI
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDziKZqwWlW
"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."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHITif39Ok
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUPAzbAlBb
Angel's mother gave 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYGZPMoQfL
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBubVDNc4Y
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrkGsz4NUN
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovb3pekyFb
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh7AbwBLjE
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpHdqePir
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmdmOoRbr6
"You know I already gave you my word."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhk1lPwCG
"And I know that 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRLMYuAIdv
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN591aCV8JU
please try to be patient with her, okay?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZrk4Xh9eF
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxHT7f6bom
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpA1raNBN
"Mum, wait, don't 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjv8uTeOOe
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujioQby1wf
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt6EBS505f
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wmjg0flTF
between them even bigger.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwVLEX5gk
And then all of the 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByxFBmvf1
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT35qCguCm
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbprzkhS20F
***925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwbPSBeerG
It925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5Y6rUUK5
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrfLsnNSQ
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MQiN4dpIm
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYbx3QTUEn
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b3ebv1sG3
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7DNggtNn
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR94UnUpLp
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoXovflU50
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ytiiYfEQ
was the ceiling above her.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFlSfIILZE
Angel's925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BwppK09ye
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobdwUfgyMx
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv3l1ejtHq
her sister's voice.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpaGOvwdlN
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX41QYvmSHe
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqfOY9oT6q
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhj4fBZ5H3
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed6sUcNrq9
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlTg4VVcZ
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvgvtAPUP
"Please,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3dICQ9mI9
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvG1A2JihG
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAtWMD93Y
"I'm925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZoTx1FWcJ
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TrauxfCjS
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSVNqtf2mi
everything at the moment.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO1abpQOrA
Carly's925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpohJwBF6N
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLU1fEUqs
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV8DFhtlx8
showed it all. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9svZm1Iad4
"I925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i7xcqBu79
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6FGh1uXi
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqAw7DPpu
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaZ99lFBS3
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RjkWBxqjZ
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtGe7awIg7
with remorse and her body ached even more.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVckXKEqSS
"I'm925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntmFcBWCAI
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRuMkv3Di
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YQ7kaBJGO
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtFt3q8e3
forgive me too."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v4MFCc8Iv
A925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwOCcbgPug
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Ulu6MJEx
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA9aSEuL4F
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJKxt9cNzE
footsteps. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfxuHmhIrc
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr7O5x8u1s
"Well,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Pp07rDkX
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2AtmIsrvP
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi78fIXYvzC
revive her."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3DGO99Pwm
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF32Nn6yRp
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUmJsE4IO
Carly looked down at her925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkZJX8GD1N
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl71ktV2Km
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3A7CwJhK3
"And so as I," came the male voice.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuRMbElGtl
Eric soon appeared 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPHWFr8Eu
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4mZmTD6lK
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo602GJoBOn
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEDWQW0FW
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHfzSSeV6
"You don't worry, she's 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftOtLjk9rS
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUeo4lkrcE
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko3nAgF9IG
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0jxQ0nmVJ
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fOgA0ETp2
Carly and Eric looked at925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1PCBk7dz
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz14uLdP8Q
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSkmJ4Z1q
"It's good to see you 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEshU1B41s
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXIdUMfBbc
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXyTyVjyzH
Angel saw the doctor 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPmHWRXpLa
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEV2UTZZJK
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OFsrMJTQR
rest was exactly what she needed.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuyWA2zOF
***925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHmvzOSifS
A925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVheOImWf82
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YrDfrp6NY
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0oOqKjiOs
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG20KIsy6o
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5tnvy8d3
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLiqBUuEi
As925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9uXSIyWs
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF0MK09tm1
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t3gB5KIpr
have. But she pulled through anyway. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0C1E27KJi
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4gvaq9W8
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkOUqqZdR6
Carly925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zScoZ1udY
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gdqG4qCn
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSIqn69tAg
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfValBowJP7
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o9SCKOfWR
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPPsnXfpl
wouldn't say anything. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2z5pcvXq
Even925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUG0v43c2j
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYrwG1q3pb
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmIC1pigj5
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMuCbjXDFh
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb39Jrs24U
Angel kept her mouth shut.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqHY65zVq
On925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDDUH9ZUQA
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxxlewLE7L
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41xg8gzJtk
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A6XKwXaQ4
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSRjzubrm8
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIsdqJfI0M
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvehM2A09
sometimes.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGoMy0fq4l
As925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVsvV6HCUc
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3yZquJJks
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi59kZsvGH
"Hello, there," said Eric.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOes7FpjPx
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpqxgvUbsm
"Well,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipBeYa5rfF
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYuoi8BirX
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ItMhUAqt
basket of fruits.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0xorVudJN
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMd4lZPZ9e
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45f06TxbXr
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxK8n3UNRM
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvChQOxiL
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLWVsNhSK
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsHdl2DWhc
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOWYyANn4h
"I'll be right back," said Carly925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIQCupxF0k
Eric925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YYQW13Epf
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJTmrojzJW
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KeERxwOUp
"I925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVvmKubTHk
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe6Gn6THqZ
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqPwXEsEIR
right?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuiJKDV153
Angel nodded.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRRexUCPVG
Eric925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHBLk2upMn
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgMZpxCveB
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DvsMuEnCV
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmPfdTAXkm
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasanlJ5cnx
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3aettB5AP
worse?925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BGNb3PrZ
"But925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9g3QWMPr
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZkauQ3cbQ
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxioJRPx7bl
mouth.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Urrp8S0c
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg7prNA9hG
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEk79fnot
"That's925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvQtVUgsVD
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl37aTrOcU
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmnlF7UQd4
eyebrows. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y2xYjtzCw
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6PhNOM02I
Eric925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPOPRLQ1Jx
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIMXSYqcpi
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkcBPzyHDn
dreaming.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAWsUKjDP
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7zsicerjy
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtt9aNnyKR
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu5eVDgsXF
"I925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYUIezt0l
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJMADD4X0v
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwwMxQnVWz
quiet was the only way to keep calm."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRvmF6SfN
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAYTG1OjR
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXCZSHaZS
"Thanks, for what?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS3ZSBn1Sk
"For925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffRdXL2CiG
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUlN3wjZgJ
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNICUCInjr2
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEm5xaRBa2
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnt6opdXtA
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUepwlPZ32
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ww9JMxVN
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRcGynNJl
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzurFGDRo
"The....925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMGf6AinC0
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRbcKMRxzk
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yKVvOqxeZ
mother's death and then nothing."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZawXisyky
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNAp8WVZvt
"I925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgto7LefjD
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIRtQp6Evf
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0r4XwpM9
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbmZwQCKEo
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrTIfBJ6p
do you know who did it?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MAdGF7QGB
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrscp0MhN1x
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hGxo1iJT
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2DqJtNXw2
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHFzqkYi4
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRA0wF2Knp
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsdZEBjz0Z
"No,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkxiDcOM1X
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf2bY7ET8m
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltHySr4De5
Carly."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYsRn6ir76
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSokWmNmqGx
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPRWMLHMWu
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XjrjDuDFi
"Coming925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZkAlVTMU
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy7GwY47gg
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKbTveUOL
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbtjIOP5E
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp7bW19VPL
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrCgdPx2EE
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZyG1bM4W
"I...925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yEfui6WUp
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K8KueL7KC
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK7dpe4i8s
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ20YyvOIAG
"How do you know that?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PMtR7dRqo
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4880hBAXM
Eric925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv6EXTGqay
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN5bzpo20g
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4BDnXyYC
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlNW4nvBPv
"You're right."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpxPFLECqK
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIt5W8DiO2
"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."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNGDhqNhzR
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG9do2PmeV
"I'm925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxmDYFSKo1
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaCAMIbNCq
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpzIKUocqy
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXMj2UiMO6
Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTT5oJqnhs
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6vgPYDCW5
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBaFh2v2T2
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzSoyEtgq
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUalj1mnjJ
"What things?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBKpuRQf8
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHe2QpaMtG
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnDwGo9f1n
"You're sure?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWJRDy3yH
"Of course, please do so, Eric."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GQTRRVJ27
Eric925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw1X5X69mP
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimBazRfPlA
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1cWPSiHvV
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFI12D3Pqh
of a person living the good life.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1g4q4I3y
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDUcQMH7AB
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VM8elwUHw
"I'm925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IvJ28HsRZ
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVi5zkwSdB
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2kUbgRAfS
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbviSWHnqc
"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."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQyNMr9LJF
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyRY0LnlY
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTWrbrLHNA
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJkFmCqJL
stand her sister after everything.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQeqa3F92
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQKdhcrBE
"Sorry925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ar5xxpUJW
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSq4aEuP4S
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqynfJBzLUK
At925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOqK5mefcS
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC6ycqtVqU
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSMbrfAYuO
was starting to like this man already. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCBPIxoXIJ
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW1ABeIBnS
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMPwusExF
"Thank you."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF21rKECHgp
"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."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZdeE97Xkz
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHRR25IVBi
"Well,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZcs9v80UY
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4SMWp77oZ
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptlT5iimh
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxMxrpRjVE
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPDNOyccXD
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI30qswnDa
"I hope you agree to it,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHGGMrxdkO
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjivHH00DJ
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPRAmUn22s
Angel turned to face Mr 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhbvyMiHFu
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmnj7ctshL
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1wEoq4cTL
coming.925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlYlPUYw8F
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
