Angel's eyes flew 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAd7H7ZtUT
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiedVuLru01
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozCxjkQZNG
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdWvvMlrtu
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhi4eOn4B
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOglCG42Lam
Angel quickly stood 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLWW500tPE
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5lTQPwnsT
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVGEd8bSV
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QmMrBCDvj
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYjoSyB2ji
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWPuK9GroP
Angel closed her eyes1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGDQN7SXEV
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOXRbcwNe
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKjkEggtWR
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IO848PrAm
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1p4fR6bfH
"What do you mean?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzefbFvYCe
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO2QPnWt8S
"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?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSZckO9nZQ
"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."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fqPCfMp8T
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK07yOJhWe
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZDzSFlA2Z
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQi3Mahbb
"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."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXfdrXpUvf
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi4AzlrkNW
Angel's mother gave 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GtO6Odhp
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyNHzk3zhf
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefliAbmvLF
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5soxKURbI
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27exl08H5e
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uaxXux9o
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCBrXEp54Z
"You know I already gave you my word."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU5jN4fd6s
"And I know that 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGK4eJBCku
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6sWDdIEva
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKtkonfQg
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKvt7EEzMt
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMglSajumk
"Mum, wait, don't 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9RRQ6fA4q
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHYTBklyr
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACeYArTEFm
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3lfhayAv
between them even bigger.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jW2E1aC5E
And then all of the 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTAO4StWAk
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgYTWpfrq8
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF8bxYc9iI
***1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAq2rEAElx
It1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExd20Lsbba
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I9yAPH6v0
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKg273oMKD
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUUXvW0Y4h
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4h8xCUNkS
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3b0naEv4g
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gTZI9qZJQ
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxjwGvWOoy
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1jETSyOn
was the ceiling above her.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhpabf3G70
Angel's1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHQZky8qik
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU45a4P2pS
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsXwDlieG6
her sister's voice.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRh97bho8
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAEsp1e1Q
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP4SYp8Zig
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XR9kqfqVF
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tlX4iQ55P
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNWXz5Aq1s
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qeY3rmu0a
"Please,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopzMHI24hP
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkGomWEBEM
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2LjjUbMJD
"I'm1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm7ptWi1kv
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipW2gF7roN
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiCcC8q2pp
everything at the moment.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG80jn83rG
Carly's1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7icOEAztG
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaagdY8Jjw
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARsD0AIHU
showed it all. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBWXMxPapt
"I1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvfha3lLaD
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQmuBF84BM
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATNOMvgoS8
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk1nutCk9T
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAIiHeWkz
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaYG5rJo4Y
with remorse and her body ached even more.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9TlMThTr
"I'm1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArV3dv3qQ
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAIsdzGrq
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pRtwJKXLT
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBhY3WZGkD
forgive me too."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkgqkQo8Uk
A1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymECSDs4CS
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg1tnV9kcO
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx7OS8spIE
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqdvcwmfwP
footsteps. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhxsIi5Fo
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SGBZQgRb5
"Well,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB6c78dAqm
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSPE9rE7B
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu0WRJfAVj
revive her."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJnCpqoiEK
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzunKq9gs39
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHCItrL3IX
Carly looked down at her1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99mOFPudtM
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFDn4zfISb
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ynCIDOF50
"And so as I," came the male voice.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenGUY0oZYL
Eric soon appeared 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1YGobSlb
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbA7lP0cga
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KcxHU8mAa
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfiWr9js3K
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHLxaiesRb
"You don't worry, she's 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDQe46IqM
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw0R4QrPyz
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Qrm4B31U
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKNHpqiDcY
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvObC5ygkn
Carly and Eric looked at1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMva5kBOjX
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyxDIjGhH
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhPoOJKoiD
"It's good to see you 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUybbJK1duX
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjjuRZE5c
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtJXAFRBr8
Angel saw the doctor 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ9Lgd0JG2
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0JdlC9aQ0
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLFItnO8m
rest was exactly what she needed.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4txaEm658W
***1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqC0eXX0t
A1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3jhT7BQrk
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8HeY88Hi5
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8zHRJ0en
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKyl3sQoh2
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXPlJ1CATv
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6SHWVOsD6
As1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjwxTg0OhS
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xcm8gaVl5
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhNaZXtneV
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7haobmk19M
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMireJUgPNQ
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzweCqX784
Carly1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxItrLzc6d
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5dtowXBI3
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaycVJIAMm
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVBWNRdRKm
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys5w85HNsz
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPV7wlWFck
wouldn't say anything. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTwNdKHMX
Even1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFh1R7oSc
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmThC9DeERm
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcBhYgHzq
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n9XYuF9pS
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QWPpVLy17
Angel kept her mouth shut.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA9YOxmscF
On1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Rr8sjh6D
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqRnwx1lJw
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpiWSavgzD
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAQBmkJpI6
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYjlxxuOFN
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPNrudNhWB
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeaiq7h2MJ
sometimes.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtYtDVFLK
As1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiMo5AGO7
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWXIXeJpzQ
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyL2qgEDQW
"Hello, there," said Eric.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE05NzMzfkM
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKI0K4vBhb
"Well,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnGQy1SA4x
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsjeEnYId
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDgFHWJ1OG
basket of fruits.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJReh82W6u
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZA9BaCaWQ
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkutxXViDP
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKfXeyJJcH
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17CCGX36ZB
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLNE1EnfiA
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TX13YaWbo
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzCL277wxB
"I'll be right back," said Carly1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGe6WKRVIJ
Eric1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7fN0sB7ON
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz5l7Rt0Ym
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MIqiOacG
"I1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7fKgwL7o
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6v3gZU8ue
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1vUbrTk01
right?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaucFVfP8a
Angel nodded.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvObaqUV7Z
Eric1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6yPOZy1k9
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GW3fCYVif
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dk5lRccHB
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMR49DF4sO
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cgJnQmiRR
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ416nWtZ3Gw
worse?1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KVTAoEpf1
"But1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA2JAIhPGR
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW4beEgcbb
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQe4s7rA7
mouth.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ZIPY7l1g
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nmAJ45I9N
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRCTqWFZr
"That's1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu8XufiEkE
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k4fRppGMG
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25M6MRlRgR
eyebrows. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwq27L7Nf6
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfytBH0504
Eric1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQ9lS2wlO
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZOGwsAAo
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnALQsaxE5V
dreaming.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJY1LxF5Vt
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmTpiT2Xsc
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvrG67fmcm
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSfj43xvLZ
"I1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr0SJV6ks2
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJxQfbfm70
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vs2Zyn5Yw
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSujs3LqN
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fo5Hm0hBQ
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6fqTqOsiV
"Thanks, for what?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldiPhNcGb7
"For1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHiqHmsotG
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa84Mwmfg6
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U5vN1tWvA
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIRyDx7q0u
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVU8ltrX6f
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WUD3RVTYA
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRXaFNkGD
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc7Jk0pQiK
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1i9wTkuBN
"The....1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMX236KWP
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoL1WMSLlF
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VUjbIx5b7
mother's death and then nothing."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yd7oCT4K3
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNmLqnvp5W
"I1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPSNd2l5gs
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwusFgdbqx
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaSDJr1Ks
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeevYxrMxQs
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrab8yCVfV
do you know who did it?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOrbsbkkR
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKXhND7tQq
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwggRuqpX7
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshmshMBfFM
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs5AoF9Jte
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDAtrJ9sGy
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3O81Nxge4
"No,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fgvz6E3kN
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnvHc6tRTv
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ983OzvrrTK
Carly."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq1V36tgOM
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeyf7FWfol
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KILWMgTBU
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7PqnCOZkx
"Coming1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMTIO8ymND
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqCgUemYLY
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jM3n0zQbs
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IRPp47wlc
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUPyv3D8Ia
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxUQRCBo92
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJIcBS9gMZ
"I...1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuysZd6UmFG
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifE3sWIFK2
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB38t4sROJ
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjWjlDk0l
"How do you know that?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ976EBZ1WSD
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOjadK4Tn
Eric1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuff0IQoght
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnm7TZ7XGA
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWENTKAOqA0
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuu7KAd8N
"You're right."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSI38FXi3U
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Pwwr2jie
"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."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZj8Alp0l
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrepQ1R5tbg
"I'm1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq1s4ig8Ap
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPYrht0zl
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjeLPnY8Z4
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoifE67HypY
Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWwRSMyA9
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq4wWAE6GF
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmGjVZd5g5
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQuSwlUBEE
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDz4ork83
"What things?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwCKqodanx
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2J4QRaEc
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hpAIYQbae
"You're sure?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ARgGdyddU
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQbsaeveA
Eric1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGB6V1C59O
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwKBnzJ3jX
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnvwZeWC6V
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUzpd2K22w
of a person living the good life.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEmvL4KRIv
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRsl1zE76
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1xOPUTHVn
"I'm1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ldZv9uYMe
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzWf2URxsa
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G1dIK6hN8
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsbvXHGRKw
"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."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDezr9YpR
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB7WxL1wFt
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x6mHuhOJV
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Inz5n9uN
stand her sister after everything.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vTzvMTBJD
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEgFfKCqi
"Sorry1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMEmlavOv
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vmmPQg8iJ
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx3nwnFNaq
At1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAGTW1soFw
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTJtNXJpQe
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ij52h0WT
was starting to like this man already. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSQAX2DU3n
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznGC2PJ187
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ZSph4cjK
"Thank you."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbClMYut0YX
"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."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRT5inIIW
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w1onTQ4p0
"Well,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHmXSiO9E0
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFpHx2udBT
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8y9RbSzpK
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjO6bheW38
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0Gib19ix
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ZnYfpwlY
"I hope you agree to it,1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZenow9hcfS
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9NobKyoXH
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cjSajJpoe
Angel turned to face Mr 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhl2wox3z
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mfqPQeoZt
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt4gTasEML
coming.1000Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTcB2p0n1n
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
