Angel's eyes flew 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZMkk5epqB
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXrOxA4CO
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkcmIPQihx
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15vqeAF4Rt
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJOpaNy1MZ
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDg3ugAjLZ
Angel quickly stood 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUAIPgMMA
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0IBdRdMgp
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuem5NPFXjQ
dumb not to have realised it sooner.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j7NZdm2R5
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlufwmzTtX
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkciUeM9R
Angel closed her eyes938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDIdc3wwRd
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7JWl3P85U
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdquPTjfMv
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1BF0LPZUw
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3nldQwPy5
"What do you mean?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLQ8wxsvA
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTxzaDQwU
"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?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIplDgzbih
"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."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMXz4ckn01
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZXBgA1xy
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwtYy1CkWx
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDx5MG8CPn
"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."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SteW9LVzH
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPW17yR5WN
Angel's mother gave 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYpExUeVYD
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk7YXiM3jp
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLQCIvP1AM
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM3g1yhegO
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEUbrzD0e
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMNo6qCEEi
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN4wWRZv2u
"You know I already gave you my word."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbLq7LWIo7
"And I know that 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKnY4PrDms
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmoM6f8hRK
please try to be patient with her, okay?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1duSJXQU
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjeugvKPYY
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJUjDxTIl0
"Mum, wait, don't 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap7pyKtV64
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRnDhZwDjH
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByNqtNB7UX
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFDGTbyiG
between them even bigger.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPQqaLWlX
And then all of the 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAfyjpejL
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe4VWLFttx
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeKGREgrl6
***938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zxh2loGXa
It938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2qlBqd2PB
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68YSJtLuD6
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sl8pnkQJl
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkPTp7OO7k
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCEzPQLWF2
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX61qbX4AU
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwu6T9NDwD
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy4S0iCPSl
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkpumlE40G
was the ceiling above her.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYLF0vKin
Angel's938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCNnm3TRkh
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKF1Ruyxlk
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i2AA4W1ab
her sister's voice.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDQfJitzEz
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVoCwZ6HRP
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsukU0fiNh
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dOkIZrwFd
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmZzZtrsa
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qODfwdwwg
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ155T7HdF5F
"Please,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpr7RIIZym
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhryvUAeJl5
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XhIQuo4RJ
"I'm938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmxUuMrr3W
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYJNlF67R
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoteI1t5j
everything at the moment.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2SArb6tn9
Carly's938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OtNFQQMQY
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGAPnUNbvB
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Fh3hVtpB
showed it all. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxneLd8CLT7
"I938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6hGqoLZDD
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4rBZzhUT
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61IDNkGQr
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78MQr1bqwv
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8oKhbXUS
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRrMw5yPL
with remorse and her body ached even more.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP9QNED3eI
"I'm938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHlvehxkF
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ovXIrVH8m
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz4ftFQGpX
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScIqvb1KO
forgive me too."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCy3hbZkDr
A938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzLyaakWiT
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKapXBgHvL
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg611ktT4ZD
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nrcXfEnrZ
footsteps. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramfnLrJfy
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS05FHAEk8a
"Well,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMLcQHuiv
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqahBwmTBk
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ip09VWmR
revive her."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7J1VoesnU
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzLoG1gFM5
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgyGbp7Mdk
Carly looked down at her938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qay8Ew92
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90jt7bLQwL
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcO9sSur0S
"And so as I," came the male voice.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg75RNsHtu
Eric soon appeared 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesEJlgFk0A
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIWczXTWP4
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YPbQVggQL
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJC1fJS4B9
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6TRrQ5LEx
"You don't worry, she's 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fQFHdwSyz
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ4MKnlDed
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvyQFwCAcq
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ltv5n5qf
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmRbt6gdO
Carly and Eric looked at938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWyG5ofp3I
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhvWuVe4AD
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3lG7XNZz
"It's good to see you 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Wcz3T0IH
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5KYwVepMD
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszLpA3E5ef
Angel saw the doctor 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKb8xScp14
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLbFmktoNW
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZT6ZZCcq7
rest was exactly what she needed.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4pDa2v87V
***938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzxcub2b7c
A938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSBKojiBSF
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfSnXb1EAA
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYd9vnplUu
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkyYHeiN5u
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSHLgIA3o
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4jtOVoFou
As938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdpEcTWA12
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNyoKA3xYJ
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1B1eCBF1S
have. But she pulled through anyway. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbA4Rs5OCq
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnElZjnMEqB
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Us9WZbr7
Carly938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpylOBGvier
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLXfXBORsP
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQkOlNb4r3
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjkq2flc8Q
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjTJPYu2dF
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb9pUkUilA
wouldn't say anything. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ3SpMVFjs
Even938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjm9BjhGqa
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7MJ4TS0JQ
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YOfbQHbck
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrvwCIuPoH
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLD65Mog2v
Angel kept her mouth shut.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO74CboQ7L
On938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFehxZZaCi
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLwheI5oDh
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgoXNjqgz
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiomqbjfONT
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4IrXZSdF
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRbfXW8ztj
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGlRHIcZbi
sometimes.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡess0Uvj72d
As938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7slCTkVv41
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe85UDfaw0l
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtvy1Rdc7
"Hello, there," said Eric.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZV6Rag5ip
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPE9Ojr273
"Well,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjCqzJb8iQ
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1vbtt3MZ
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtVj5Hkqhd
basket of fruits.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnBUgBlLob
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88pcE6HQQE
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwyvrn3gkd
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Abh4ALP6v
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNfzzL5Gf
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbn9WWCbX3
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfoMO2HB4y
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGddmDq6UZM
"I'll be right back," said Carly938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb7WTaP0ak
Eric938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAvJAjQ45y
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgH5IATcdC
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsmbrgAXjW
"I938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cDgoohpkQ
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5saZ4ym6d
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEXescC4uS
right?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WzQA3dMu2
Angel nodded.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhMFrLNYmG
Eric938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecW2sCuwVF
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKH2mgPrf
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy38OsEfsm
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOWxt3sE5
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5a1HlfYNJ
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTosqGjjm9d
worse?938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJuB9JhFpS
"But938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Vo4Y7ell
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLHdFdYwDO
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwNKKPdkzu
mouth.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cEml8VtFo
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQGyECZQKy
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMGymHlul
"That's938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02nyECTRXy
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno74UMNC52
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfnbwlkRuC
eyebrows. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuvZyIwqN0
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwSNCFjRhE
Eric938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw36qlTOh9R
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWesNGKn9L
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk6Qme2Imh
dreaming.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG82iMYnnF
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd29ZLn6HO
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLhEps1dLr
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZAiJkKrVi
"I938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaigcLTpQe
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKnbRcb6vD
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdFRPU9zU7
quiet was the only way to keep calm."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfp3MUodvg
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yav47KZmE
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSSwOCDj3F
"Thanks, for what?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5rlWu7DBE
"For938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkljZNZrNQr
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTVvTVUs8
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2YIzd8hMe
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExUccbQ1mY
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl83zOhrvhi
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR2YgoHaqP
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8JrXBHZoy
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6NpxMu8K9
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZNYp3nXDU
"The....938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxR8MDgvNK
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunsrNbXozR
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyYK3qoFt
mother's death and then nothing."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAYMMkTtNA
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kHoitjFvR
"I938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QTAA3am7Z
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rk4elXSxw
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdeOmCayDs
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr34gdkjPcj
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGh2N8zofj
do you know who did it?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3BSjnkS4a
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv20w4KiL3j
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC346giRxS
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZZYnrgKys
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSDCBKMTW
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0xgewx9Uo
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IWBFdviHg
"No,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdDY3NWEg1
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p5j7mpTRJ
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0SBiSZ8T8
Carly."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPuTZfabO8
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLl6ish8K
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDTTpuK3bB
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWlHtJwLhx
"Coming938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCifzHelR1
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7JIq1w5Qr
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAkiLumEl5
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVS9krMdL
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJMl2R0ae
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2lA4PswNC
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8g36IlzMR
"I...938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAOsgK2fjS
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCENUNhs7mx
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjug0gqi5wh
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ909yMjmmm8
"How do you know that?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bmTQUlX0B
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryjqQctbmi
Eric938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ml5JjiHob
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD94fdsU9yd
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4o0IKPW6C
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF6Jvp7O9I
"You're right."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5vTcFW8Et
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfOHS0INaV
"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."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdh3qR4Xfg
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtAEbhVNfI
"I'm938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsK854kpb
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LgtgYmJOE
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXgMA9mzrA
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRghaNksxH
Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ENXoxH8j
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo1JG3A7Dh
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFtEbmOqxJ
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNAfqUAADd
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uj6WfDi04
"What things?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ygjXsYMVb
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAY6FUWhrs
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQm8McGWIK
"You're sure?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW0P8bvT1l
"Of course, please do so, Eric."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27U1FUiFSm
Eric938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SQS8CNooc
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMFJgstmJ
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbemaC79dX
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmkYyUmkVV
of a person living the good life.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSscHXqRpZ
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOmJ3X8Ae
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SQAv5yCHd
"I'm938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmCApDWIoJ
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3vldtlqf
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizIMDRsk4P
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWGh6ylhgW
"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."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgLS5esgn2
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUm5emB3P
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgke7KmaGru
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYrbGCC7D
stand her sister after everything.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfXRRa6VFf
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWksZ9Glw
"Sorry938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3PiOiroiF
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SfZ22Bt4D
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSrZTqHMLq
At938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZNinQol7
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSJrGbdeOa
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0AL78SJQ5
was starting to like this man already. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Wr6ZICOA
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2RTG4HXMa
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulvXVte2cg
"Thank you."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ365z3bF3KY
"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."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBs6Bq7teL
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqevvuRAcfa
"Well,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU03tvSiKN
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLIP3Gpzv6
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqDtPKAF3x
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5EGFkaxMw
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i2JseIM6f
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOdK8LdwX
"I hope you agree to it,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00aI1CC5EU
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4u3SHZ49U
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4nnl03BKI
Angel turned to face Mr 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAHRkzrNH
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZg7yPxJyT
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGfUeoqJl
coming.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JCEGCpB6F
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
