Angel's eyes flew 577Please respect copyright.PENANAmnxp6orka3
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 577Please respect copyright.PENANApKsDxevCuJ
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 577Please respect copyright.PENANAlCfPefTfCT
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 577Please respect copyright.PENANAbxRrjazoN0
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 577Please respect copyright.PENANApUjZbiGkC6
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.577Please respect copyright.PENANAV1tLDQ1NFB
Angel quickly stood 577Please respect copyright.PENANAFhBRLxRzww
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.577Please respect copyright.PENANABjQzYN0Q5X
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 577Please respect copyright.PENANACKxdvq51mx
dumb not to have realised it sooner.577Please respect copyright.PENANAUK3vbsTMvX
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.577Please respect copyright.PENANA6rbJ0MhEpH
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.577Please respect copyright.PENANAeMdZP5KqbG
Angel closed her eyes577Please respect copyright.PENANASeBysjFyGT
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 577Please respect copyright.PENANA7zc14KGIzT
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.577Please respect copyright.PENANAgwnVNJRfIs
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAGof0kpfzX2
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."577Please respect copyright.PENANAN5KMO7Ggff
"What do you mean?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAHjcYXmvi24
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."577Please respect copyright.PENANAsxHUrHfpHm
"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?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAZw7MN6rjmr
"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."577Please respect copyright.PENANAYhPysfBOBb
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.577Please respect copyright.PENANAJAiBfQXNWu
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."577Please respect copyright.PENANA6VamALwahK
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."577Please respect copyright.PENANAVX6euvGlvN
"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."577Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdg5ceUkI
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAqHGdpQUPm7
Angel's mother gave 577Please respect copyright.PENANAM4r3yMYKHd
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 577Please respect copyright.PENANA2fDPRiEYf1
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer577Please respect copyright.PENANAfNsvZMJs51
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more577Please respect copyright.PENANAn6sJVVxxqL
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 577Please respect copyright.PENANAfTjv7hASiM
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 577Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ts4JRE96T
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."577Please respect copyright.PENANAIqKLiLA5PD
"You know I already gave you my word."577Please respect copyright.PENANAM89nwvq8It
"And I know that 577Please respect copyright.PENANAJLAprtJ6BM
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 577Please respect copyright.PENANA6LqfdeO9Oz
please try to be patient with her, okay?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAgASp7anrIR
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.577Please respect copyright.PENANAh4PGo3SXVK
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQfPJ694usM
"Mum, wait, don't 577Please respect copyright.PENANAtVePVRKN1D
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 577Please respect copyright.PENANAWwpicMjmoe
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 577Please respect copyright.PENANAkWt1QPqomt
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 577Please respect copyright.PENANAMuxnjDEyyk
between them even bigger.577Please respect copyright.PENANANpTzqWAVeW
And then all of the 577Please respect copyright.PENANAMOEhVfz76l
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her577Please respect copyright.PENANAtjFy6UE3BH
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.577Please respect copyright.PENANAnMJ2jseCXt
***577Please respect copyright.PENANAXywPCjP4yR
It577Please respect copyright.PENANANuu8LAX1Ji
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 577Please respect copyright.PENANA8CnImEU2pP
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 577Please respect copyright.PENANAJZM9oOgRMy
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 577Please respect copyright.PENANAV96pG7kX3a
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 577Please respect copyright.PENANA8hPzFySjVF
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a577Please respect copyright.PENANAFvEFJf7uDA
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 577Please respect copyright.PENANA6pGQPf57Hp
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 577Please respect copyright.PENANATwRkmhmV1y
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 577Please respect copyright.PENANAlDWrCLxAeT
was the ceiling above her.577Please respect copyright.PENANAoENL3YkW29
Angel's577Please respect copyright.PENANA45QxkJWkKO
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 577Please respect copyright.PENANATc7Uxhz3Sc
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 577Please respect copyright.PENANAk6nPc32guQ
her sister's voice.577Please respect copyright.PENANA5QaYPFExjM
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 577Please respect copyright.PENANAsV5EwhCElo
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANA5dwcDJ1wCh
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 577Please respect copyright.PENANALnSOEgBJda
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 577Please respect copyright.PENANAC7OcnXfD32
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 577Please respect copyright.PENANAVWu9N06fyF
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqseaOqdA9q
"Please,577Please respect copyright.PENANA14g4sz4knL
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to577Please respect copyright.PENANAG1MZ93st6S
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.577Please respect copyright.PENANA9bPzzE54Ev
"I'm577Please respect copyright.PENANAQeg3E1fZXb
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 577Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Ks7WSyZD
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process577Please respect copyright.PENANA3KhQuvnMMC
everything at the moment.577Please respect copyright.PENANAI0hpceN4qF
Carly's577Please respect copyright.PENANAv0iXSOGZrv
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 577Please respect copyright.PENANAZdIe1lZE89
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 577Please respect copyright.PENANAxlxBBtjiHM
showed it all. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAEE7TuRnAvr
"I577Please respect copyright.PENANAS8lgeOgZgb
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 577Please respect copyright.PENANA4L86fVbpi3
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."577Please respect copyright.PENANAD5lRYSaqOy
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAnLX73V5k7e
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears577Please respect copyright.PENANAQ455StJyej
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 577Please respect copyright.PENANAMYAJlLkuAm
with remorse and her body ached even more.577Please respect copyright.PENANA2GKhhcOEPr
"I'm577Please respect copyright.PENANAIenqbRn8sf
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 577Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hr5fE5NBI
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 577Please respect copyright.PENANAFBy4lAoefP
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 577Please respect copyright.PENANAKbctPchE1P
forgive me too."577Please respect copyright.PENANA7mcXDroLhF
A577Please respect copyright.PENANAsbNJ0n5fZY
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 577Please respect copyright.PENANAdK7t7eHEL0
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly577Please respect copyright.PENANAJie6FqYBYG
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 577Please respect copyright.PENANArSgSbUiCyo
footsteps. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAOHlevwo4el
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.577Please respect copyright.PENANAYpxu74kiKs
"Well,577Please respect copyright.PENANAMQDT0nZKJY
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 577Please respect copyright.PENANAJXTCez13z2
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 577Please respect copyright.PENANAH1uYpcwJXn
revive her."577Please respect copyright.PENANAaURO599eP6
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 577Please respect copyright.PENANALouIaoxxbw
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."577Please respect copyright.PENANAgTtAokVIEz
Carly looked down at her577Please respect copyright.PENANAjGVUmdHex3
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 577Please respect copyright.PENANABqm0Go9wo1
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."577Please respect copyright.PENANAmSHVLuaKXM
"And so as I," came the male voice.577Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gzcG6siu
Eric soon appeared 577Please respect copyright.PENANApmgAcXZfma
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 577Please respect copyright.PENANAKxkvxQws57
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 577Please respect copyright.PENANAZIyyGPrvwC
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 577Please respect copyright.PENANA8GiyeZLYjQ
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAu5UEN6xkHB
"You don't worry, she's 577Please respect copyright.PENANAWC5cMXKSdF
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 577Please respect copyright.PENANAiN0kxhl63V
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."577Please respect copyright.PENANAzfOxD4zwgj
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."577Please respect copyright.PENANA9jI40bMbgR
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAMG2gZIi1T0
Carly and Eric looked at577Please respect copyright.PENANAiar5w8qySr
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 577Please respect copyright.PENANA9V7rlDINvM
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.577Please respect copyright.PENANADkEJdTEzZb
"It's good to see you 577Please respect copyright.PENANAtu6NuEmGG1
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to577Please respect copyright.PENANAmAj3DsJ2bE
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."577Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJmBExZlB
Angel saw the doctor 577Please respect copyright.PENANAZiQsB1ZwD1
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 577Please respect copyright.PENANAn2ubyQNpXA
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 577Please respect copyright.PENANAyXOyxcxK80
rest was exactly what she needed.577Please respect copyright.PENANAiojblgfiYD
***577Please respect copyright.PENANArME3A44LrP
A577Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6bhD8msYm
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 577Please respect copyright.PENANARKq31tb6Sb
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 577Please respect copyright.PENANAmTQjQkatiG
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 577Please respect copyright.PENANAwVBHjFNBWp
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 577Please respect copyright.PENANA7jOMKroVVW
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqDE8zbRWxj
As577Please respect copyright.PENANA1x7FmBhm3R
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 577Please respect copyright.PENANAT76m32uDin
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 577Please respect copyright.PENANABtPfI8wtBG
have. But she pulled through anyway. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAOZS2lykQis
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.577Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6OuRiYAIA
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAta8clqlwLa
Carly577Please respect copyright.PENANAdWtFM6ILeC
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had577Please respect copyright.PENANAxKZZ68hwGA
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 577Please respect copyright.PENANADgEA6KLH6W
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 577Please respect copyright.PENANAMVFG5XFENR
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 577Please respect copyright.PENANAW3kL8HPBZq
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 577Please respect copyright.PENANARAKgrUxrf8
wouldn't say anything. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAJhIMq01HJp
Even577Please respect copyright.PENANAQlU3DlSyNC
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 577Please respect copyright.PENANAISkuTQ4HbH
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 577Please respect copyright.PENANABJ8uAhbBAw
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was577Please respect copyright.PENANAzVpa42DhR3
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 577Please respect copyright.PENANAuJr3F3TG16
Angel kept her mouth shut.577Please respect copyright.PENANAAolmZrLUJQ
On577Please respect copyright.PENANAqiPeYmN44X
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and577Please respect copyright.PENANAIaUkoiTsMe
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 577Please respect copyright.PENANA6xmJleivcb
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 577Please respect copyright.PENANARJbsgzHLs1
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 577Please respect copyright.PENANAdnhP3dlsab
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over577Please respect copyright.PENANAHCZzFHIhkF
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 577Please respect copyright.PENANAQS75cGj7G8
sometimes.577Please respect copyright.PENANAp7dk2AQD1i
As577Please respect copyright.PENANAsR5jr9Ilcm
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 577Please respect copyright.PENANABuWycn62Rp
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.577Please respect copyright.PENANAn4EZgsXX9x
"Hello, there," said Eric.577Please respect copyright.PENANAF1lsTsSPks
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.577Please respect copyright.PENANAooR7SGDweY
"Well,577Please respect copyright.PENANAYkpBc2t5fG
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 577Please respect copyright.PENANALoBk0yjQyx
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 577Please respect copyright.PENANAtH0qQSJRWU
basket of fruits.577Please respect copyright.PENANAd3922FjPCP
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.577Please respect copyright.PENANAgBZoavElq6
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."577Please respect copyright.PENANA7kp6kc03a0
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAtbEzOIL5s7
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.577Please respect copyright.PENANA49n4SgWHDg
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.577Please respect copyright.PENANAtEEgWAXdh9
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.577Please respect copyright.PENANAvf7CUIjWo8
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAL3TCpl9IYQ
"I'll be right back," said Carly577Please respect copyright.PENANAH95kgEmrS3
Eric577Please respect copyright.PENANA0R6soAfmM0
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 577Please respect copyright.PENANAWHhiqAO4GZ
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.577Please respect copyright.PENANAVjjNL6xLbQ
"I577Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fe40shha9
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of577Please respect copyright.PENANA2vYfNoALT7
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 577Please respect copyright.PENANAQCsV5lSvlv
right?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAQqJDyziJlw
Angel nodded.577Please respect copyright.PENANA50kqEjJBfP
Eric577Please respect copyright.PENANATqi9OTNXC8
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 577Please respect copyright.PENANAe76fmpCiO1
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."577Please respect copyright.PENANAeIS3Rf8kkn
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAswwPiBQ8Ip
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have577Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6hY3nb8ZL
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 577Please respect copyright.PENANAPxEjpDG2gC
worse?577Please respect copyright.PENANArPiR3jLHrm
"But577Please respect copyright.PENANAW8EjHnkSjH
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 577Please respect copyright.PENANASYs9GwHZHn
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 577Please respect copyright.PENANAspngXOKTuA
mouth.577Please respect copyright.PENANAOaTxQV79Xi
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAzKbAJPrYEd
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 577Please respect copyright.PENANA72SFaSAQuT
"That's577Please respect copyright.PENANANKHv3yMeMZ
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 577Please respect copyright.PENANAlYdwXhOUqy
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 577Please respect copyright.PENANAAPfH4pfL5b
eyebrows. 577Please respect copyright.PENANA8r6op2TCVo
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."577Please respect copyright.PENANAXacMSOkVzj
Eric577Please respect copyright.PENANAudnsLu7QQz
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know577Please respect copyright.PENANAzMgtk0H3j8
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 577Please respect copyright.PENANAt6mdRCr98w
dreaming.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQF8FCt35e8
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.577Please respect copyright.PENANAt0g5y5p9UP
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.577Please respect copyright.PENANA77Al7vOGpk
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."577Please respect copyright.PENANAmAGr5OWLSC
"I577Please respect copyright.PENANAnuWlFISX0o
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 577Please respect copyright.PENANAV3U9w1St0a
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 577Please respect copyright.PENANARuWwjvC6CG
quiet was the only way to keep calm."577Please respect copyright.PENANABPm296emXs
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."577Please respect copyright.PENANA2FgKtsuqpZ
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."577Please respect copyright.PENANAcjmnSux3qC
"Thanks, for what?"577Please respect copyright.PENANASOzcGSqFmQ
"For577Please respect copyright.PENANAiqlyGUWlpe
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 577Please respect copyright.PENANAsQWb22jhXy
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a577Please respect copyright.PENANAy3hCQBUhJ2
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."577Please respect copyright.PENANAx03AwWh7CQ
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."577Please respect copyright.PENANAN2JlmCIkxY
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAn2rAJmmE6l
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 577Please respect copyright.PENANAuONmCpgig5
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 577Please respect copyright.PENANACTQ41OXOev
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."577Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbonf6Mbi
"The....577Please respect copyright.PENANAtqKJhxn81e
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 577Please respect copyright.PENANARhRj56XaJw
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 577Please respect copyright.PENANAjPZ39UKuGl
mother's death and then nothing."577Please respect copyright.PENANAXzQ6deY3df
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAN8SwoiHfIy
"I577Please respect copyright.PENANAuKnIOmB6tP
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 577Please respect copyright.PENANASXAlE49J2w
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 577Please respect copyright.PENANAivWQPk2MtW
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 577Please respect copyright.PENANAq9BWKU43IP
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 577Please respect copyright.PENANA7tYNuPADYm
do you know who did it?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAE062Ytr2bC
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."577Please respect copyright.PENANA97ggApNEc2
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAAelrlBu4wf
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAoPDDe83cgk
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAM8m9aNxzsO
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."577Please respect copyright.PENANAD5FKvAim6Z
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."577Please respect copyright.PENANATZd7nLk5vG
"No,577Please respect copyright.PENANAPsmlZfNxbA
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 577Please respect copyright.PENANAOzEKhN68iv
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 577Please respect copyright.PENANABAloJqZQ03
Carly."577Please respect copyright.PENANAHOdKt8nToX
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"577Please respect copyright.PENANA1nVPGwKwhL
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."577Please respect copyright.PENANAvRuDRg22Ku
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."577Please respect copyright.PENANAPKHl18iACt
"Coming577Please respect copyright.PENANAbdGLFfvBOA
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 577Please respect copyright.PENANAVvXwKLMpJJ
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."577Please respect copyright.PENANA3wLKCRHclx
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAJKSGQJAMjk
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked577Please respect copyright.PENANAMjGTBGJ2LX
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.577Please respect copyright.PENANAjVgvzKcWQw
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAJjFuKPjmCs
"I...577Please respect copyright.PENANAmipPHn82ta
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 577Please respect copyright.PENANAUAlWy6CPsm
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."577Please respect copyright.PENANAs8QrEIpoo0
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAV1BTCJKSdV
"How do you know that?"577Please respect copyright.PENANA1bpRtchEus
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."577Please respect copyright.PENANA2WCnucNlfy
Eric577Please respect copyright.PENANAdFZWzl1Rv9
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 577Please respect copyright.PENANAhz0Qk43WBy
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."577Please respect copyright.PENANAP9SLsvUHuo
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"577Please respect copyright.PENANABeieomCp8G
"You're right."577Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ3ur6wSMb
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."577Please respect copyright.PENANAQLD9UB07xw
"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."577Please respect copyright.PENANAB8D3oEyWgc
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.577Please respect copyright.PENANADEeWJk5Dv5
"I'm577Please respect copyright.PENANACHCSV24YbV
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 577Please respect copyright.PENANAnqVG4p9JM0
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 577Please respect copyright.PENANAwLrDaxgLMM
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."577Please respect copyright.PENANAZOml4W8xBM
Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAdSls8XC5u0
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 577Please respect copyright.PENANABDc0iDdLZd
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 577Please respect copyright.PENANASABIr44OfX
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqQC0qMuCVW
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."577Please respect copyright.PENANAo4glnpgwLz
"What things?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAWgi9fIn9CG
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."577Please respect copyright.PENANANVkGpGovjR
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."577Please respect copyright.PENANAytj5j3seIU
"You're sure?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ3cAhCgxE
"Of course, please do so, Eric."577Please respect copyright.PENANAToZZuOieAj
Eric577Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8VtVVNzaP
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 577Please respect copyright.PENANAR6DqErVmAj
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 577Please respect copyright.PENANAahgOXSOnQ3
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 577Please respect copyright.PENANATmdHEaObxs
of a person living the good life.577Please respect copyright.PENANAF9eFAEetyU
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAmRGseMe1VI
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAWah9smvjYg
"I'm577Please respect copyright.PENANAfP1AvICIxo
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 577Please respect copyright.PENANAfFey7U8wbR
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 577Please respect copyright.PENANA2UHtj7XwSq
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.577Please respect copyright.PENANAz1BJJ8Xuin
"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."577Please respect copyright.PENANAV71P7hjAW7
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel577Please respect copyright.PENANAQfWzvf3ipd
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAwuP3cT18CZ
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 577Please respect copyright.PENANAogclJ6QAYn
stand her sister after everything.577Please respect copyright.PENANAGjTlu2hJDk
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."577Please respect copyright.PENANA4XmNaXbt5D
"Sorry577Please respect copyright.PENANA8zgNJpRUds
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 577Please respect copyright.PENANA7lIHnIsDih
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."577Please respect copyright.PENANAE2SKFx1CJb
At577Please respect copyright.PENANAuh5Vu9x6Fv
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 577Please respect copyright.PENANAvTRvztQmCy
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 577Please respect copyright.PENANA8WElJ2FadU
was starting to like this man already. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ5GlSOKtF
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.577Please respect copyright.PENANABVWxZfL188
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."577Please respect copyright.PENANAuYiTlni6Sn
"Thank you."577Please respect copyright.PENANACrV81fA4rM
"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."577Please respect copyright.PENANAhG0Ky2nmqO
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.577Please respect copyright.PENANAUuPoZviWDl
"Well,577Please respect copyright.PENANAwuzzX7BFnU
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.577Please respect copyright.PENANARrddwNnCG5
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAOPQN0BquiX
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 577Please respect copyright.PENANAODqT9NkrX5
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 577Please respect copyright.PENANACgROS0QIMa
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."577Please respect copyright.PENANAZmg1i5NFrR
"I hope you agree to it,577Please respect copyright.PENANANB93R9l8kQ
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 577Please respect copyright.PENANAhwaByslvZf
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.577Please respect copyright.PENANAfeLXpg7WJ3
Angel turned to face Mr 577Please respect copyright.PENANA0aCdAAY88O
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 577Please respect copyright.PENANAzSMwSSz9l5
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 577Please respect copyright.PENANAQLKEQwcy0Q
coming.577Please respect copyright.PENANApNnyCm9dnl
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
