Angel's eyes flew 565Please respect copyright.PENANA9krbwILOnN
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 565Please respect copyright.PENANAoM129Yrnqd
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 565Please respect copyright.PENANACU2xXD4RBe
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 565Please respect copyright.PENANA8uwYt32GWb
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAcBv0LWGLxc
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.565Please respect copyright.PENANAITbkyZCYP8
Angel quickly stood 565Please respect copyright.PENANAIPIJI5zTxA
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.565Please respect copyright.PENANAh8DaDpQAaz
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 565Please respect copyright.PENANA40juHsZaUX
dumb not to have realised it sooner.565Please respect copyright.PENANAVD5YBJeNZL
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.565Please respect copyright.PENANABYmvGWdRPZ
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.565Please respect copyright.PENANA0qBXtkLsf9
Angel closed her eyes565Please respect copyright.PENANAbvMAGiHHxd
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 565Please respect copyright.PENANAXthP0lifCs
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.565Please respect copyright.PENANAefjXFQhHzy
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 565Please respect copyright.PENANA8VUecb6iuf
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."565Please respect copyright.PENANAfKvXdQRCuX
"What do you mean?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAGGfEfjOLz1
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."565Please respect copyright.PENANAFLHGXDEdJ3
"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?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAcFxWrDoFe3
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANACd9F3UyoXY
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.565Please respect copyright.PENANAfRCygMQgOd
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."565Please respect copyright.PENANA5vmYItzBx2
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."565Please respect copyright.PENANAoAqB3Z4we5
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANAtW31tsywWp
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"565Please respect copyright.PENANArNhUB5tLI7
Angel's mother gave 565Please respect copyright.PENANA7a9DfmxFxX
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 565Please respect copyright.PENANAwPJW5mtNxo
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer565Please respect copyright.PENANAHrznaDIHts
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more565Please respect copyright.PENANAlHqR197PqB
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 565Please respect copyright.PENANAZZyXkwhTaP
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 565Please respect copyright.PENANAWmfTGVKhAe
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."565Please respect copyright.PENANAI0SFEAXsQl
"You know I already gave you my word."565Please respect copyright.PENANAOOekJ8rgx6
"And I know that 565Please respect copyright.PENANAaZdcaIkUtF
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 565Please respect copyright.PENANAlU2LoPBCdM
please try to be patient with her, okay?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAHcbuPECMxj
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.565Please respect copyright.PENANAhVfG6a3zgC
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.565Please respect copyright.PENANA3N8XmQq23M
"Mum, wait, don't 565Please respect copyright.PENANAWpI1I1naIG
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 565Please respect copyright.PENANA2U2EBwijb8
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 565Please respect copyright.PENANAhZFnSZWL1v
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 565Please respect copyright.PENANAGh5ji2wuHc
between them even bigger.565Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJzyPL6PG
And then all of the 565Please respect copyright.PENANAaCoMd3dCaS
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her565Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMgiZ876Y
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.565Please respect copyright.PENANAcBM9RUlZWI
***565Please respect copyright.PENANAPWWtSSOlIQ
It565Please respect copyright.PENANAnQAPiWjh2t
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 565Please respect copyright.PENANAXAdzBpU4Xb
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 565Please respect copyright.PENANA23DSH4lp6Z
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 565Please respect copyright.PENANAr15KTnoB8w
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 565Please respect copyright.PENANAd7hPdUfIFb
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a565Please respect copyright.PENANAxiqgxP9vz0
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 565Please respect copyright.PENANA4pHyhybnN3
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 565Please respect copyright.PENANA8WNPbVvXLS
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 565Please respect copyright.PENANATYffuTrZyP
was the ceiling above her.565Please respect copyright.PENANAKRUgbPuINC
Angel's565Please respect copyright.PENANA1pHHbI7eQh
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 565Please respect copyright.PENANApdUg15tkou
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 565Please respect copyright.PENANAVEqz1DMWqK
her sister's voice.565Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q2nEons4Q
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 565Please respect copyright.PENANA2uVAA9waYu
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANA7uy9sBXoWo
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 565Please respect copyright.PENANAgheY8Zkm5V
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 565Please respect copyright.PENANAmTyxsiYL2T
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 565Please respect copyright.PENANAY1X6ibLy9u
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.565Please respect copyright.PENANAOt7nZ37A0U
"Please,565Please respect copyright.PENANA2VZ1DLFlD7
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to565Please respect copyright.PENANAak1QzcU9RY
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.565Please respect copyright.PENANAycHcMDR7zr
"I'm565Please respect copyright.PENANAAIhklmdYHV
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 565Please respect copyright.PENANASsZuhpUsvx
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process565Please respect copyright.PENANAkVI4E8BMm8
everything at the moment.565Please respect copyright.PENANAs2xeLaO7Fw
Carly's565Please respect copyright.PENANALChrRBEQNv
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 565Please respect copyright.PENANASIGFKF4BDj
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 565Please respect copyright.PENANAXmQaQR0rIN
showed it all. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAGkjRNVRRD3
"I565Please respect copyright.PENANAjENcgTimru
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 565Please respect copyright.PENANALynjt6Fwqw
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."565Please respect copyright.PENANA3slv5B8vIq
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANA3tNHAwlI8F
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears565Please respect copyright.PENANA1nnRRGjyFM
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 565Please respect copyright.PENANAvAcut0vpAu
with remorse and her body ached even more.565Please respect copyright.PENANAyswpUMSxzt
"I'm565Please respect copyright.PENANA5Acz5XiLEe
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 565Please respect copyright.PENANAwhCEYQflt6
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 565Please respect copyright.PENANAxJUZY7P5Mg
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 565Please respect copyright.PENANARQXsctEREJ
forgive me too."565Please respect copyright.PENANA2hIiQfQSFg
A565Please respect copyright.PENANADVeQ6mouXA
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 565Please respect copyright.PENANA6t1WiiGx6w
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly565Please respect copyright.PENANAcYYUN0q9iN
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 565Please respect copyright.PENANANqTNQQOmYq
footsteps. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAzsTbQzdOp6
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.565Please respect copyright.PENANAwOm8O30afr
"Well,565Please respect copyright.PENANAGSSwN9jLpV
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 565Please respect copyright.PENANAIikieoGdlY
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 565Please respect copyright.PENANAm1dZKlxexx
revive her."565Please respect copyright.PENANAWhGQPVzvNC
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAO2IynplMLL
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."565Please respect copyright.PENANADCJ0YmvIJt
Carly looked down at her565Please respect copyright.PENANAyxxVaVrcSD
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 565Please respect copyright.PENANApaBHL3bHkT
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."565Please respect copyright.PENANAbRd6nz72Jh
"And so as I," came the male voice.565Please respect copyright.PENANAXUI0K9tSeV
Eric soon appeared 565Please respect copyright.PENANAPKJ62j9gg0
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 565Please respect copyright.PENANAFmCkriiMZj
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 565Please respect copyright.PENANAKnZA7b16GT
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 565Please respect copyright.PENANA2th3DQQCDG
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAZXS82Rhro7
"You don't worry, she's 565Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8aSyBwO2F
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 565Please respect copyright.PENANAdwmOae8mmo
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."565Please respect copyright.PENANADfG1fEbOc2
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."565Please respect copyright.PENANADxf6yjb0Y8
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAH9B2L2GMFM
Carly and Eric looked at565Please respect copyright.PENANAmTd4tGSKFw
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 565Please respect copyright.PENANAAFaS6M86FD
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.565Please respect copyright.PENANAqIfcMppUMb
"It's good to see you 565Please respect copyright.PENANA3ycWJl13ez
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to565Please respect copyright.PENANAHwxNmQw36u
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."565Please respect copyright.PENANAp39vlIR0N1
Angel saw the doctor 565Please respect copyright.PENANACTzKj2VPVx
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 565Please respect copyright.PENANAgORGJo6Ub5
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 565Please respect copyright.PENANAVf1w726Pw1
rest was exactly what she needed.565Please respect copyright.PENANAg5uaCPtKtX
***565Please respect copyright.PENANAi4NOxmzQmj
A565Please respect copyright.PENANA9GxfmVZFGE
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 565Please respect copyright.PENANArqWhXz0GXb
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 565Please respect copyright.PENANAHXb71nUarS
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 565Please respect copyright.PENANAnHY75oW1KN
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 565Please respect copyright.PENANAhPM5ZA7srS
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.565Please respect copyright.PENANANnl56OPKF6
As565Please respect copyright.PENANAuJb2YVuAD2
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 565Please respect copyright.PENANASdd4dJCO6m
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 565Please respect copyright.PENANArbDqxehQD2
have. But she pulled through anyway. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAWtyVb4nlES
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.565Please respect copyright.PENANA0y6J2Wd5ZH
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAkPEgDbIUV1
Carly565Please respect copyright.PENANAojIpDnB04b
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had565Please respect copyright.PENANArvjKdYxqFL
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 565Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zpcyf7DMl
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 565Please respect copyright.PENANAzwP2ENqIXO
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 565Please respect copyright.PENANAYDvVbAUYfu
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 565Please respect copyright.PENANA6W39hlNRpb
wouldn't say anything. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAyeh5ho7dEU
Even565Please respect copyright.PENANAXxJsX9nkOU
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 565Please respect copyright.PENANAcdRSYBBESU
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 565Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Q9XnPZ9s
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was565Please respect copyright.PENANAMbn2GLRJZ9
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 565Please respect copyright.PENANAtl3xMV3DXW
Angel kept her mouth shut.565Please respect copyright.PENANAFmiQsyolUn
On565Please respect copyright.PENANATX4OZxTyyY
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and565Please respect copyright.PENANAM61cNKreD9
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 565Please respect copyright.PENANAQd0VP3OpoE
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 565Please respect copyright.PENANAHO0y3n7pdM
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 565Please respect copyright.PENANAbKp4ppyHYR
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over565Please respect copyright.PENANAisYUyOgvDk
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 565Please respect copyright.PENANATg77m8EIqx
sometimes.565Please respect copyright.PENANA9XSJHgECIo
As565Please respect copyright.PENANAysZ2kU5LRP
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 565Please respect copyright.PENANAdDjBi9Q5bX
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.565Please respect copyright.PENANAtDRiMs3pMa
"Hello, there," said Eric.565Please respect copyright.PENANAmFHXLKHakk
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.565Please respect copyright.PENANAtiKXyFEegb
"Well,565Please respect copyright.PENANA6g3ENFwwy3
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 565Please respect copyright.PENANAyriehR2a0w
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 565Please respect copyright.PENANAfd4t5S5Icx
basket of fruits.565Please respect copyright.PENANA1QnYtz6WxF
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.565Please respect copyright.PENANAdLv8i4VNs8
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."565Please respect copyright.PENANAxIaujIjutw
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAXOXF9NArJy
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.565Please respect copyright.PENANAMWWrE9w1GE
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.565Please respect copyright.PENANAdf2OKMswcY
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.565Please respect copyright.PENANANYRjhKuyJs
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 565Please respect copyright.PENANA9bxgRSPa1H
"I'll be right back," said Carly565Please respect copyright.PENANAeKGRAilLmm
Eric565Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Q8TWo6X8
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 565Please respect copyright.PENANApVLr6D8iLq
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.565Please respect copyright.PENANAhIq9iGpHxK
"I565Please respect copyright.PENANAopwBvKpX9y
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of565Please respect copyright.PENANASnXXGECpjB
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 565Please respect copyright.PENANA51hyj8xO1j
right?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAA4Wf442iec
Angel nodded.565Please respect copyright.PENANAABQ5QLUw4k
Eric565Please respect copyright.PENANA4t0l3PsmzN
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 565Please respect copyright.PENANA88q0C6QS0o
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."565Please respect copyright.PENANAxAWxHF7viQ
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANA9SJrvQNlRB
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have565Please respect copyright.PENANA8e76MulNcS
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 565Please respect copyright.PENANAclBv4XwXUb
worse?565Please respect copyright.PENANAmqROeKidV9
"But565Please respect copyright.PENANAQYFJvlMbTl
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 565Please respect copyright.PENANAIt6wJUgur0
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 565Please respect copyright.PENANAWDdVB1Vv2W
mouth.565Please respect copyright.PENANANLV3qr9ZFD
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"565Please respect copyright.PENANA0ncdctajRH
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAaRkkQ3KAnX
"That's565Please respect copyright.PENANAt8PnWrRKgz
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 565Please respect copyright.PENANAbiKA48d9lc
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 565Please respect copyright.PENANA7DAkZ5T3ex
eyebrows. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAwNqhxf5pCI
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."565Please respect copyright.PENANAooz0CYqSZH
Eric565Please respect copyright.PENANArjOPcdNwN9
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know565Please respect copyright.PENANAOp7ev90XLo
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 565Please respect copyright.PENANABEAwDxcTOE
dreaming.565Please respect copyright.PENANAFKmXxgBB3u
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.565Please respect copyright.PENANA9eUDk0dNA8
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.565Please respect copyright.PENANAENu9QexquU
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."565Please respect copyright.PENANAFxLqJYr89E
"I565Please respect copyright.PENANANudKUEgnnL
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 565Please respect copyright.PENANAmWVxqbv9nc
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 565Please respect copyright.PENANArM8AXEOzb9
quiet was the only way to keep calm."565Please respect copyright.PENANA2fx3A858OZ
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."565Please respect copyright.PENANAisyBUIl7eV
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."565Please respect copyright.PENANADNVDnyQs1u
"Thanks, for what?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAACcPshGGUP
"For565Please respect copyright.PENANAW8vqb2Z1tc
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 565Please respect copyright.PENANA5jW4sB2TJD
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a565Please respect copyright.PENANA506MSJBYdw
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."565Please respect copyright.PENANA0yIcE6J3FX
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."565Please respect copyright.PENANAKlbeWQe3KE
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANAacTzVvMIF3
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 565Please respect copyright.PENANAn1wOHzZT9i
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 565Please respect copyright.PENANA6D7yEa4H3w
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."565Please respect copyright.PENANAy64sICjdDc
"The....565Please respect copyright.PENANApRPr0JIbUQ
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 565Please respect copyright.PENANABE0DXiyH79
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 565Please respect copyright.PENANA3uDvVisMyD
mother's death and then nothing."565Please respect copyright.PENANAidVUCwc75U
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAl7KKhzwyUo
"I565Please respect copyright.PENANATCnX9UOpmT
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 565Please respect copyright.PENANAcPXXyUgkpJ
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 565Please respect copyright.PENANA0KXhdGo57b
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 565Please respect copyright.PENANAwDrDZ11VrF
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 565Please respect copyright.PENANAYOkSdz9eqI
do you know who did it?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAvTOFtSt28Z
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."565Please respect copyright.PENANAPllpsEXXmj
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAdapBD384BL
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"565Please respect copyright.PENANA9VsHAbdhJf
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ruCzC01O
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."565Please respect copyright.PENANADI2Wcrt7vy
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."565Please respect copyright.PENANApzq3MHDAM9
"No,565Please respect copyright.PENANAUuJiv6gLOD
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 565Please respect copyright.PENANABjPurDJ8yg
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 565Please respect copyright.PENANAQnXrFdl6Co
Carly."565Please respect copyright.PENANAMMNNz5XHSX
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAeRkO39RbY0
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."565Please respect copyright.PENANA0AJ9mhvHcZ
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."565Please respect copyright.PENANAykVTftJi79
"Coming565Please respect copyright.PENANA5Webu9nyq9
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 565Please respect copyright.PENANA9zvAuQ6u9T
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."565Please respect copyright.PENANA1NDHztbUck
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANAJoqU8gPfCU
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked565Please respect copyright.PENANAT9tta1ONPX
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.565Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Djr0usTG
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAb0J5Wiwx8e
"I...565Please respect copyright.PENANA3LhWW0ADff
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 565Please respect copyright.PENANASDj38ItkdY
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."565Please respect copyright.PENANAzsMkUX1UQU
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"565Please respect copyright.PENANA7DWbeTLftb
"How do you know that?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAOFfJ92g3Th
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."565Please respect copyright.PENANAxjBhRMj2aF
Eric565Please respect copyright.PENANAWS8dtmCgco
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 565Please respect copyright.PENANAVB4OyfFc5M
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."565Please respect copyright.PENANAofmwlcY3RY
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAeNZw448ZIX
"You're right."565Please respect copyright.PENANAdHzs7LS6hl
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."565Please respect copyright.PENANAHTvL3DA3Dd
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANAiEispVXEs1
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.565Please respect copyright.PENANASE82Vfh5vc
"I'm565Please respect copyright.PENANAXY02R5zYDO
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 565Please respect copyright.PENANAgnyZOlyXJx
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 565Please respect copyright.PENANA13lmVp7wnk
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."565Please respect copyright.PENANAJL84qnUDkI
Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANAPKB11JUm95
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 565Please respect copyright.PENANAunRSGQOFpg
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 565Please respect copyright.PENANAiiaqi6PPIM
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.565Please respect copyright.PENANAY1qmgF8c34
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."565Please respect copyright.PENANAcsLB6yIVBF
"What things?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAMk9d99UywR
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."565Please respect copyright.PENANAMNo2LW61wt
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."565Please respect copyright.PENANAO64vdE93YF
"You're sure?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAudL1Hujjgw
"Of course, please do so, Eric."565Please respect copyright.PENANA9GA7uY0829
Eric565Please respect copyright.PENANAK6u5Q3JveN
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 565Please respect copyright.PENANAN0gcXHvkTF
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 565Please respect copyright.PENANA92YRyb0TEm
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 565Please respect copyright.PENANA52m6d5SckD
of a person living the good life.565Please respect copyright.PENANA7089kLUI79
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"565Please respect copyright.PENANAR4dTVvcAut
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAX5t3M5kJbw
"I'm565Please respect copyright.PENANASrtH1dZmue
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 565Please respect copyright.PENANAuCfwdz88yS
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 565Please respect copyright.PENANA7NJxjlQrLJ
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.565Please respect copyright.PENANAxYnZNkmplF
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANA9CnG6B8lAq
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel565Please respect copyright.PENANAbhJvG7Xnyc
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 565Please respect copyright.PENANA0qjiEQ7UGk
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 565Please respect copyright.PENANAUK6yhweoHP
stand her sister after everything.565Please respect copyright.PENANA0IQlYzLTxH
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."565Please respect copyright.PENANAHBbwl56n6R
"Sorry565Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDXNnq7Xq
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 565Please respect copyright.PENANA8XACkT89Ce
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."565Please respect copyright.PENANA39S3nZg8LX
At565Please respect copyright.PENANAAMiQj8xDG4
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 565Please respect copyright.PENANAW06EsA5JyM
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 565Please respect copyright.PENANAxMuwrEIKV9
was starting to like this man already. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAZEn0KrzkZJ
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.565Please respect copyright.PENANAAlQtW3mU7h
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."565Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Mr3tstjP
"Thank you."565Please respect copyright.PENANAppPx838Sx2
"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."565Please respect copyright.PENANAag1YUW1MPW
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.565Please respect copyright.PENANAmaTa3I3433
"Well,565Please respect copyright.PENANA2oBWFysjay
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.565Please respect copyright.PENANAPNFj7HyKPE
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAXG39dU0dd4
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 565Please respect copyright.PENANAp4e2stMJyz
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 565Please respect copyright.PENANAEYehBRhSzL
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."565Please respect copyright.PENANAPvCOrHb7ns
"I hope you agree to it,565Please respect copyright.PENANAY54Zgv3ds3
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 565Please respect copyright.PENANApQhbC8tObx
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.565Please respect copyright.PENANAL9403bMltk
Angel turned to face Mr 565Please respect copyright.PENANAu8ULZjwr7M
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 565Please respect copyright.PENANAqTUdgSsZCp
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 565Please respect copyright.PENANAFNsiO4cjBt
coming.565Please respect copyright.PENANAUAs8iTGO0g
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
