Angel's eyes flew 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOmW4NchIF
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIdjbdr5Ou
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aFygK7RdV
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyelFLaoDK4
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG1Nm0eGJK
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qMoeZHOj2
Angel quickly stood 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcZQRJMAmN
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnf6KYkF9m
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BQjIITH9
dumb not to have realised it sooner.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmqvNYLV7j
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckSo4J5SuV
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEOSp72zZn
Angel closed her eyes870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLCaERqE3E
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhmYoOaME
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAWD33GFRr
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DbZYystTk
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4FqJi49EU
"What do you mean?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5uBw1Lxr1
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Are2QaD8
"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?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXCPR4pMm3
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG9tPAfRH3
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDCer0X9E
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7iz2Rrt5p
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1dOTtGZ7a
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5T2oo5BPL
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkfsVGacVo
Angel's mother gave 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ZaJRNhSx
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVHnjfhMp
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavwTBwq0Es
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2R5PAhDsq
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AeGpJnE8x
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA6iKLabbL
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1kvBdmkU1
"You know I already gave you my word."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWIDNeio4
"And I know that 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJP2SgmvnD
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNV7hXXhoD
please try to be patient with her, okay?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESkIrpiAZ
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E79Nm01hH
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYQ8UfQOi
"Mum, wait, don't 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rFyJFtrqF
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskReMMKaF
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gbjdbb6vc
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgSjktWEcW
between them even bigger.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzfPcPpTN6
And then all of the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8l8Komn5Z
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z9C4DWeI0
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Z007d38r
***870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoJ7OoEFRH
It870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxOKHjZ0Ze
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFEzOjesc
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCjjEyTWHY
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF39Dy0Mmi
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51bljGSnSw
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMLRz9KsSl
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6beaw5D32
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDAhAIMh7
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKnxeIRbeS
was the ceiling above her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZOfAvKLgN
Angel's870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeiLBOQn8y
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQwXDFhYef
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ1zCdQTiJ
her sister's voice.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7fWwOvH0
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeX2qu2vVp
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nbNtvvMJD
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUjyXD3ZOr
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg67JL82hgN
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3rB9NNf8d
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobnwh2Ueh0
"Please,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhm5uPNCy7
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrdEj2XDh
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfcfw3DEX
"I'm870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazon5Z117q
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvweYY51J7y
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43vuGoVbEp
everything at the moment.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdoQH5rVJS
Carly's870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwHRa56oOP
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjzCHjDUUX
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtt9mJSZHo
showed it all. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm9GAEFfNr
"I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wvKfoIuz
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI3rnFxdMB
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvxL1ZGkC2
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22n3CQrDsD
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeerNeSj2WM
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmln3oyH8Hd
with remorse and her body ached even more.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLwsnrG2ia
"I'm870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM1B4o9L2K
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ0YfQViI1
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299aQpkE7l
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6fJxR5sMP
forgive me too."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKGt50FoqO
A870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tYtydsUc
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql1PyBb7Hn
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwfUUW1rK
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa17vuFHYZu
footsteps. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChmW0PgOjS
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9alE5vImJ
"Well,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTemU0cg55
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDHBAWkdt2
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPALu7zWMc
revive her."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m4ZX1fHf6
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dH4vY2DMJ
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oKsUHRfgi
Carly looked down at her870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEoHRzXUXz
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZmXnul594
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaZJ0QcPsT
"And so as I," came the male voice.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ku6eJQTxM
Eric soon appeared 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRIEuij17y
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUTlZgZKOS
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ697F9nuHdP
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhn9Ya5dzj
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FHKfuCDfj
"You don't worry, she's 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsGqfeji4o
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCIK9zRFp
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjXfbwV6Np
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoozrvBU93J
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcDmfcxibN
Carly and Eric looked at870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakXGIqiiaL
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYXRwb5cck
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFneJjEDtTR
"It's good to see you 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQc4ojif3D
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7704epEFo5
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUqWKyloC4
Angel saw the doctor 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRueX6Um6v
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6uPsF2eql
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9FgkFGiDC
rest was exactly what she needed.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1X5dqh29N
***870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI085zYcPP8
A870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJdcAuKWw
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSPob6q49S
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGAFyitmuh
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhTrrWG4Lg
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZjWgwGyfG
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kua7EVNK7
As870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6sajDyHgk
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzxXo9mPUA
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTWliPZDUe
have. But she pulled through anyway. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStqjeUwQk
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0VYz207O
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUT7UTBSh8
Carly870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBViGXJ63X9
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc30cMuwsC
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGjZ6sojS
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSiEsDLOB
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCF9qOOay8
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2x1A6RaYF
wouldn't say anything. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhE6wcHr7C
Even870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZiPcUQLTi
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3eLySPCJG
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbZ1pCdGWr
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wYkpAjH0f
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MFP4Vxmw3
Angel kept her mouth shut.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP5BUN7HoX
On870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbUg42XQG
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiVSMY8zV
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjVwKG0Km3
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3i5niqGhb
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVohIwtgYr
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFkdak5Fg
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa03uRdS23
sometimes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7zpqOPJUP
As870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD0pMo6iIB
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimvm27wTJ6
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CpMNvznBn
"Hello, there," said Eric.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaUKP9BWYW
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwb0OF3xlv
"Well,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG3KYkBxX1
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11jDxR44YG
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIofFmxV8ti
basket of fruits.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN1BPlt01K
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDp7UseMi3
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LgA207idL
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv4d3jCbaV
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWIxFNA5yX
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyjmGwKsSQ
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwv7WXTnBP
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQKRukbu2Y
"I'll be right back," said Carly870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMpmYrbTf
Eric870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAUNvLbUQL
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IVDoQDPXV
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb64kCOwx9f
"I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKLVAhGcZ
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua3plRJtjx
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlIUO6tuXA
right?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aAbstiZX6
Angel nodded.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d37IpyPEI
Eric870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdQwpEW36C
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbI1v6gxi
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EgMOfPCam
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5DZ1SPbV8
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynzGranEu
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjj6cU4xaq
worse?870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj49JIo5g4
"But870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7yh2OPvNy
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ4epbMINI
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWZLIxNLD
mouth.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHbRhYvIZ
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX4CeM95xN
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavvaIxoRE
"That's870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RiQKbfL5L
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW79Eze42uO
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBgHjmlNiB
eyebrows. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8Omurk6l
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSWKXB97Kp
Eric870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPXWtNFy5
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmivgjciFwy
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo6w0pJLhI
dreaming.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnPez64UfA
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64RrnGc1pa
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTKUnZfobQ
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut6hZglA6D
"I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2MHgYzPxi
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfLaSXURj
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl3hEPxYz5
quiet was the only way to keep calm."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaSpdDSiin
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2jEXDa3VG
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTg7K0tINc
"Thanks, for what?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbJ9CT4T0v
"For870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz9aeT6oEh
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXX3js5UFT
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22mXxQN6jF
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNprHvcTAc
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0SEohimnO
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCw9n83whd
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IlE2KmJx
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFHjXQ5Yi
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8v5ezaJKL
"The....870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkW53V4NI
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOY2EEJnp4
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszzT00aHE9
mother's death and then nothing."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjUnDLk2lt
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHueNvdxGEl
"I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY8C1f8Vhv
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCueTsGnj7
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUxhgZqJqY
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1o2oj99mL
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M0jxh9qJS
do you know who did it?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLywXdMa3Kt
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlpVxa2HkK
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQaOpwEuE

married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChoFWCHgQ
Carly."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Utp8nzO9
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN8Y8NyqOO
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBGAesTHci
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vkMhPoLag
"Coming870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZBJFPazX
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS7AcG5vOv
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLO0MBaOmQ
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2yq1ANyB
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0KzP5DYX6
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTG0uqJXaK
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL7X734Azo
"I...870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDTfGkORNn
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1BWJKTxLB
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ2YEKDVoV
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtlMzahzD
"How do you know that?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrANU1pmZFB
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK5gGuqKPb
Eric870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7hkypcmdt
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtEdAVrE2x
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzaG0ehcV5
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqaJHqzukK
"You're right."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5lGysWkc
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoX1HF0Drn
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDziIdcxVQ
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe3ygEdHFx
"I'm870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYDyWZndqD
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqhSGa0yT
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwGbm5g7TD
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhJyAzebF3
Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QsfIFDdxr
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GrbyDtBB
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKc3ztH5uI
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynqeBiWQ6
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9KKS6Tgso
"What things?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB86AAjJf9
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM86lVYJip
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffcmfj75A7
"You're sure?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvsxFl2unk
"Of course, please do so, Eric."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6mvM39KDZ
Eric870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0xJZ3ljrX
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVr5xKmPzm
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpJq2uX9Cc
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4lAB0EkkO
of a person living the good life.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHtSTtxtyw
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQu5KEBTWp
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxD26uCHwO
"I'm870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseYjsEsIIE
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJvmVs8U9
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNSeWF02kO
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba9MYhrxgc
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZnKaE44fc
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2l92xuVF
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPqX4QCJuf
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS9WACAiSN
stand her sister after everything.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSvncbIG2t
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3sNRglGMe
"Sorry870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1OMv0tIgO
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqcwWGsxP9
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWTQjTGJYs
At870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIb09YTSU
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMFf16NzhF
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4VWVzOhZz
was starting to like this man already. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS8AsLMDOr
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWbuOGkIX
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAefzlYDl7
"Thank you."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ZdJ0zqts
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuKC2rGSS5
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlgOvlXRfW
"Well,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoM5OEzJtp
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6KVqoo1zK
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8xeyKFmcP
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq4FnTOsLv
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxRLlyhCpi
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzARSBRJCO4
"I hope you agree to it,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOdBRZ4FF
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQdnN6UAb
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMtPU5TMC
Angel turned to face Mr 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpPVYZszWQ
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpxpv1SaVn
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSPTBquIoS
coming.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcTII2sGxH
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
