Angel's eyes flew 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tcodptPzw
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqr0NNGouA
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Jfr2egrh
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKcamYPJdR
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS495gQmXRM
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHL9ns3SWv
Angel quickly stood 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirinhTeJS7
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeVSWMizJU
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagNLQ03No0
dumb not to have realised it sooner.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DebHJxtb
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXId3RKfnJc
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzjLovmde
Angel closed her eyes997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBJvsXA1Js
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnViEYSuff
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Z7ppDhgU
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgEfLIvLk
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfonQ0S7qAj
"What do you mean?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRLVBHGUBu
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNeAqxIcsk
"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?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIFi7CF3br
"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."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe42eNcpGZr
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTP4jD6531
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KOTqPSxHO
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwUK11UAbS
"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."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNVRDij05h
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwy3AvMuSX
Angel's mother gave 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX58HFFcel
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yyBIEC6r
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVj8UJhFHK
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuxSaSA9pC
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FdPttQ2kH
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYnXVedej5
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6z5WJBYEd
"You know I already gave you my word."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzk2KwsTgC
"And I know that 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP4Q6EXl1x
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA3REG6a5y
please try to be patient with her, okay?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhNsw6IoE
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJWWZdlDu9
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXA4wZdTD
"Mum, wait, don't 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjSkLGhw2g
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90Lt0cqCZ
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxAfn6SmYO
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq9jGa07xx
between them even bigger.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64C8BZhUG3
And then all of the 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR87qXgeZs
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3hRPTaE2
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp10cPXIM2B
***997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLLXQ9ODGs
It997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LzT5AtUwS
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj02tP6LPO
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNU9NuWRpF
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuczsUIkXkv
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfwAo1UmaN
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX68ay63gl
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA645lJKEO
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3WSTEVFn1
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMinhpk2iXV
was the ceiling above her.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeOInzHwEy
Angel's997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D5d7IY4dg
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vkxDF2cUb
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIjtr2raXL
her sister's voice.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMjW4IA7QA
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDgLqZTVxL
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8EhcYwHzJ
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWERpJbC6vn
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKTji2ACFu
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSazEzQN6r6
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FpFta0JHQ
"Please,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYi5QLiAwx
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaPfVurdse
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlnFy4d0B0
"I'm997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdfnYA9fFn
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf7L7Dfq7f
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoZIqD2pWZ
everything at the moment.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGteF1xaE
Carly's997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsuf5IXMH7
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnarm6bBBo
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUL48q2KPn
showed it all. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwgkBmjmL
"I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuROpV6g7Lp
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUqKPVuxM
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFT9jRw1Kn
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynQYYK5CwW
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VwBbJbtD
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoxrCFrclN
with remorse and her body ached even more.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbM7MVTrX7
"I'm997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyzcqn3gg6
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp8ZjMBEiY
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE7pjwkTOW
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl82gzsqZI
forgive me too."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jHQw3pdGL
A997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPLYvsuKDM
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ReA8wDJjJ
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWpwriWaRy
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04nkRD9Lo7
footsteps. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEazd5u4pc
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaByNZjMH
"Well,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxI09H7TpL
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXgE1bM9B
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtLAomSyFB
revive her."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrBEQwbTg
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt5X1loOBF
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFanDEj212
Carly looked down at her997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6SaUQIWMH
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtmWTff2N
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVqjtRx7zk
"And so as I," came the male voice.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBwMQGlKID
Eric soon appeared 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rPUv0s17C
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb74a46L43p
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoNIElVlFv
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTshG05QM
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ0QpeJ2Cq
"You don't worry, she's 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHXO0n86V6
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbuWzrKC29
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgzCDcWidn
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxiVj2xljx
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7etbVUmQlP
Carly and Eric looked at997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwlVMBt8V
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjivhtSCLqw
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDYG7aZbuY
"It's good to see you 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPUNGgdeeY
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jXHQZx4GX
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxfo8c3wOl
Angel saw the doctor 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvycsqa7n2
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgu4qZSNEJ
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWIbWb9rMz
rest was exactly what she needed.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWW6zGsSv
***997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde7tkE3X2y
A997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDBzZTqsmK
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRq0eyRJJq
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrZHCCuMM
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaQd9A1iM5
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLmkJWGWdz
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMfXCUq1p
As997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNTq3CpH8q
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC5z5Rf8Sl
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZ8yGpes1
have. But she pulled through anyway. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2Iei1eqN
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmaFO9Rzhg
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyd448mm39
Carly997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxVMQpWS9a
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRBFiNauo
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeKIucYbo
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxouwVeJ1N
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3FsS2TZ0u
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjWi4ZK7S
wouldn't say anything. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJOmP9NiWT
Even997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nG2kxhsBF
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjpZ7rXZLC
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLHuVhYFLY
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFKfiZPjYK
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43H2B80xUB
Angel kept her mouth shut.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lE7PqiR7R
On997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOAI2PVYsC
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9OpNvGe74
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGqigNuEO6
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIckR2qPvh
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnUefKtp8A
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgwcyQLHwf
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZfVac0BqZ
sometimes.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeltnzT3pZ1
As997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicsCxIFk4P
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFFLDVaat
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkpQPi4EDu
"Hello, there," said Eric.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcR2Cbkqn
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmmBaaWLQU
"Well,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1n03LRDgA
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq0qNL8ztP
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbjnDJLZ9
basket of fruits.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsDz4IoZkC
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfViQJix6F
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNoXL7hq5R
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGv85ZO8k
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvSBlg23bR
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlpmOdadNA
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHGnJJ4lWZ
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjZTP5qkQg
"I'll be right back," said Carly997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq9nnLaf8x
Eric997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7HRiC7BNN
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzEfpLnyvh
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKBavLXsf
"I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tFOjiaIP
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL8XaYsYWc
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18DwqWQVz
right?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEua2q2TFL
Angel nodded.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90pqzaKY4
Eric997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjLJJBN8dM
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscpt7PL5c5
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjTwEAH7U
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tVr0OlsH
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKoV23PmN1
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqt4aQI3Q
worse?997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZOSp6BneE
"But997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QHYmkzo0
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMhOZWcaqz
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus1iBdInTS
mouth.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquAyusgQG6
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Pt7G1k7U
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUSnHL5SBp
"That's997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUlR39MOk
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LLPUbtLZA
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJvZb7WH1K
eyebrows. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PHYP6HjKp
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPlgIDDAR
Eric997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEt8r6fY2i
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJy2LqiY6B
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCZgrqefQD
dreaming.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0smuswKD3p
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7rEsBKyQH
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ0jXyQVWJ
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKTSraqlw
"I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDsGixKXS
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8BmU5ineX
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPonoP4bI4p
quiet was the only way to keep calm."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFPnbrEjDa
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjBbCQ7O6d
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqtlTB1BV
"Thanks, for what?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSbmmvBPr3
"For997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkxDqWgD0I
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6p8pnfOHf
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLRCrBH6RC
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBddXkCq4jB
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvJPVVnmaM
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t43mEdWry
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aEJ3lqmfl
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJfoMV1BUT
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOvnN8Ua3O
"The....997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNfzmZxTds
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGswWCudv
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJraYl2T9Zz
mother's death and then nothing."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y68Oin96Z
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNYGF7nFzn
"I997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiCTZMFKHR
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRansEK4cF
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVpovsoXmU
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymg9hoKiYt
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2Aafxm6p
do you know who did it?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqupnTJStNJ
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg28YbLsHS
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6QJTtRoW
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnAVtRkEfP
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYaPnIjQNB
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdTjaRXSq
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNvzbbiOFH
"No,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjTi9hDWMW
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSLMqZZWgy

Carly."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBRMD7kXy7
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzPecvlJkW
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkraiCmUR
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhGInJb6DL
"Coming997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYFSrK6w8
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTL012OX5O
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiSYWEvGLj
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35xyFagEVm
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUVzyeLMM8
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6AIal8072
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw1GVgpMq3
"I...997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHM5TwXdeL
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf2jKDRHx8
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZflZi5f4q
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImQTUiyp2h
"How do you know that?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tGGH7JBU
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMQ5KBtZfA
Eric997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zUT5lCF5b
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gAuNxhCAp
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQFcdIp3n
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OX3NoerM
"You're right."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubE8f90cJP
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavnExBnjVc
"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."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHgML7pBNx
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Gip5iRNr
"I'm997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjE9lcW6wZ
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotbaDJ5Ziq
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbYCGa9xt4
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqD9hA3ZkV
Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTcRpWCSrf
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLKgk1Q53R
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs654YVOaCX
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCyuTnpBAb
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzHbAcnJa
"What things?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zk1VRir7
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AT8l3vLGG
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXeNNcnEZF
"You're sure?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4cjqVDnIH
"Of course, please do so, Eric."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LX4f9cqDV
Eric997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCAVLRxUTH
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAQa0SobbM
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU6uFqdjBS
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl42DsEAHb
of a person living the good life.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAJr0RyCNZ
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNR0ufBnMa
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJypl0Rvx
"I'm997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Yu83Fnpz
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yCEhuk8z
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo5v6DpM8k
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKDtO2UYVJ
"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."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWgftoEZy8
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rt6CuoGZR
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI4WcVbAdf
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR889C77UKC
stand her sister after everything.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbqPUHYK1e
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7eFruwFXY
"Sorry997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ574miTDW1i
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmYmfrRjas
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkFwTAuz4
At997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CahpZLwHs
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAmZIGP7Wc
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeeckRxe7I
was starting to like this man already. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJJHOXCfHU
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pg6y25Tl2
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD8YgCPR7x
"Thank you."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsxwF1HzNQ
"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."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKAVP7OayL
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoloZ6r8JF9
"Well,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChr285kTdU
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXu02XfZSg
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1hti6cmbE
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1PxmDHoan
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquss9BarXJ
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMRKLp9xAo
"I hope you agree to it,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd4jDvps8a
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5POliB9oxn
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygRLRryB2
Angel turned to face Mr 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo07Ohx7csN
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j412VmdZu
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzLVeYOWe
coming.997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPePVLcqkVt
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
