Angel's eyes flew 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhvbQG8Ie
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8pgT5xJ23
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1IwXtJuNW
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKHwNQeIB
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG1TaPJNXK
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9CmF2L9YP
Angel quickly stood 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3nPMYht1p
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748nuR2LZX
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlE6fx9Xpu
dumb not to have realised it sooner.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDX8OYWzqX
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXeFwrIQp0
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQeBlLcrlW
Angel closed her eyes916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZA7QFnc9J
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyszBJq7qOC
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy0Qvtz31q
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn2kNoiScD
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVINayxqo2h
"What do you mean?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLvydPhun3
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBY8y7biT
"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?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuan6jLkM1
"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."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEax3XdYY2
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvARqU4VXwX
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Hjusz0Gl
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF3DzIcRuR
"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."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdlsFctU90
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WbmLfWfy5
Angel's mother gave 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRk16GpKV
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg0SkcUpHv
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2wrH6GbuN
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj04ggTvbyx
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDecz7bJBX
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjtmSrGQwY
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hdwAcCofp
"You know I already gave you my word."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSxTeoTzr
"And I know that 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX94c1Pxul8
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu7v5Obadb
please try to be patient with her, okay?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt06bAo9Jnk
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuLF8lTNtk
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiLrWJXiO
"Mum, wait, don't 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj7zE14rnn
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCdOf43rWj
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctBMkCknIL
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR5qYUoFSH
between them even bigger.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKQgpZUBo
And then all of the 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKqERuOlQE
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18c07otL5w
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddCbXNUJO
***916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7kl2HYqqf
It916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUPCBj0a0
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rSDox8EV
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVyyPZlpuZ
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxleO29F8A
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDhjo6XcuU
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSAVBThIye
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1dyAmyXzY
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gdD0zTBZV
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB7wj0rB2D
was the ceiling above her.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlC3JRbTtB
Angel's916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz8YVCANGm
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2thr0QqDc
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEXyYYNKHN
her sister's voice.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyzotsTeFJ
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNYD83dua
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxujYrucf7
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL57apHDtOU
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0JORov8gp
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiamiTlYfQ5
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL9oDf4awO
"Please,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ913hyf9iJN
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByCwLfsoQ
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJV2taEFmC
"I'm916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx5OEqi9D6
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00yccibtOH
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnuQpU9iKj
everything at the moment.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOG2YzmQp5
Carly's916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESW8CwOeue
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFtNXYCr4
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWif74fOdHK
showed it all. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3x2AoHWA
"I916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYYw4Ggagl
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsraq7IZbnP
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWPnN7KTSh
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYCnNkfzg
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukDztkAHdX
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzQy6qTU49
with remorse and her body ached even more.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmP7gm99gF
"I'm916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTomo6QMRsP
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJj4zSMARf
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHUyIainEl
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtZ737xbX1
forgive me too."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS6enT5MrO
A916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNyOzTnl8M
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIT5tcsjY
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDSYpzuvE1
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT0dxgaL6T
footsteps. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6RsvsHWMq
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyUKuvwYG
"Well,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFOZ0fQME
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSKYtD1MmE
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQhbR4WmcW
revive her."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFBVEvmEh
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3fq9yRqRD
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OsyKQYuA6
Carly looked down at her916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihSphtiOij
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY1EZQX2Jg
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtvwYg8myL
"And so as I," came the male voice.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijRWErYVDW
Eric soon appeared 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGITJG2ySF3
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E237K5zjK
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnkOMdIVr
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjoCJvYhzp
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLucWCmBDh
"You don't worry, she's 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y6oNcIJm2
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzH8Jx74U6
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY2nxmM5qu
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdB8zph5ju
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3Xn95Zc7
Carly and Eric looked at916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISD0tlsK8
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtASw9bNHCb
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO9vUMnUOs
"It's good to see you 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1x84IJNiO
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLEGOcKy1e
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIig42jarR
Angel saw the doctor 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97gpBFlUHU
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGvTKpT21g
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKdYwk7yIu
rest was exactly what she needed.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftribyECA0
***916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZbXm4HsvG
A916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8IXcDkl99
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkZSP91kmN
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYYYUAoQ0
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfyJVH4E1N
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwnXyn90Nj
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfq8wNvc3h
As916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X9H6rMUlB
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp0q6OtUxG
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuLgVZIYTr
have. But she pulled through anyway. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxCratKPH
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGehCml1ac
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmONrZfk3t6
Carly916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl9QBvbEKW
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQCECKzaz
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLo024knAe
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Ka3294es
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEACgORYnZX
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYbUDR3Yxo
wouldn't say anything. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT6C0OLlg6
Even916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCRakvFAoO
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnw2aw8N9R
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETfCn1jdYY
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKScplSSj
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovgCrRhj2
Angel kept her mouth shut.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHAh1V77hA
On916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlnRiS6jn
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOhZsWDfgc
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWc0UWL9u
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnZ9Rw4oDF
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02VBOiT61I
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAhRvYQHV3
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wuZy0t1q
sometimes.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqdHVj9my6
As916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wHRzvvQsj
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoohwWg0TNT
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCWo7VE5Hh
"Hello, there," said Eric.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ790lKq9vPl
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUs0BFiMGB
"Well,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPmxaILTN
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchfYoHe8ir
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEESLuKAvm
basket of fruits.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvyKkNM3GT
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLV1CkzayY
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD9sudunZa
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfwhhCIIxw
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMh4pZZqrl
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gE78Fvsff
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshsGjKApY
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbiCLlenD
"I'll be right back," said Carly916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8nyXrlt0J
Eric916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm23vWrHM9
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckLAaeKJOf
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebYKDkfYI6
"I916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7b7PeDvoa
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW1kZGX6uz
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDgBalrJu6
right?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8YmDYrSaL
Angel nodded.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2QlNvvppt
Eric916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2J1w2AyHl
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjIPMpzH8m
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFbheb7wn
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6DmTtZlM4
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJiMzO2qB
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfiravsGQv
worse?916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUIgs7cSx
"But916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZokgRaGO
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupXfW97eY3
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkOx7vBfeV
mouth.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OFW3igJY0
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ae8JT09aL
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yK4eWolMF
"That's916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbKH5Mt6vo
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz9lVKxZTq
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvSvcIvBhD
eyebrows. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAg3VgPWn8
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowmtx08uUc
Eric916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz7VJbbRl5
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OKueOdDk4
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VxiSo52vi
dreaming.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgBdLsc1Lh
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKT1mDBUvN
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKKEI110Zs
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zuj0wxjkn
"I916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sklxnCBbJ
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qodBhYzcn
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttlI4AQgRV
quiet was the only way to keep calm."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx5C82h8VP
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz4vrasNaI
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU2N05PQ82
"Thanks, for what?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZ6LSR7Fn
"For916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8F2XERVLf
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim5hkHyQ5w
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDoK6OPxbM
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Zpnye7W9
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1NoRqPWd2
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcxMMvq8mE
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nmr8duyJE
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkiM1qeRDT
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2t2qgCDA
"The....916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzRGm3ax3V
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7yfEddfM
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCR50JG46j
mother's death and then nothing."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBdCoJ8dQ
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnXPtGtES4
"I916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTEDFeU9jX
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cispq6pyY
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTRY5kDfVJ
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhHc3tttZo
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJya0WKNPY
do you know who did it?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo3fHPjhZx
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UPTxdhj6c
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31jksddtM
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc4FAqvW9m
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJDMTFyQbW
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzDCtPCQzT
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4nbFgLdlP
"No,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Tkl5BBx0
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0z2GVms8a
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz0Xin6LC2
Carly."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLBsXlD0Ie
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WI8VKY9a
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6lDOWZ1E
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQjr0K0ft1
"Coming916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxumksybIc
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZL8hNXCKD
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITKBCzNtIW
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYwpm09tH
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQKWOjdwC
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvPG64gLVd
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk5bKUSYXR
"I...916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xSbmqWWi7
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOQlqp7HMQ
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE5V3qts6a
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjoTjXNcgt
"How do you know that?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJshnalccg
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWKHDRi3Qv
Eric916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7ZWno27W
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIDiJuXIF1
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC2RATYlUh
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj3Wrr7nJ2
"You're right."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ACTcNvSf1
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk3XfmreuY
"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."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkrIPixi3
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GV9ndCbbx
"I'm916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjwPNIirnq
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCpzJVFAG
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4BKO9bgks
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzAqcl28SU
Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbkP2TYRW
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WxsEBjip
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJULTws2dg
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h21d0UO9I
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUHOZRuqtq
"What things?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdUPY1kCLv
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ehpYSV4q
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ffMVySl6l
"You're sure?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWCtQV490
"Of course, please do so, Eric."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnXC1z26k8
Eric916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY68N0ZiaV
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbLkzfdVnx
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnvus7bD5
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVu8182Ygg
of a person living the good life.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdMcULzHT
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYVN0wttZ
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGMwokxu7M
"I'm916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnTmTx96CD
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGHRdNXKI
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz87Oq5q3S
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvyRydIkKe
"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."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXRZq9ipP
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLvbnnDAxT
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPX5ODL8gA
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrcjTDlRh
stand her sister after everything.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyKSDMpl6L
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkXV2besFe
"Sorry916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgs71x2jS
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZS2E83ns
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhWFhNbUyS
At916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxyWYE3RBs
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XvnYxBUk
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Gjdr53yU
was starting to like this man already. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0NYt1DSCR
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIuv7tW3nS
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKooLeUjdl
"Thank you."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bY4TsJ0a6
"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."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT40Jot9lT8
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdYLcukYPw
"Well,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzCnE5Yv03
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq6dcMuTMo
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCKu82KR2j
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9wzujSmnR
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDS1XN8QA0
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b874zgVrD
"I hope you agree to it,916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIeILkv08
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyBr0ap4t
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvhEYG01wA
Angel turned to face Mr 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixHAiJfIJD
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYd6qS3nGc
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyLZmJPEY
coming.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwAlH9IYe
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
