Angel's eyes flew 767Please respect copyright.PENANAWK0vqzD59l
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 767Please respect copyright.PENANAH6SLUwtl69
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 767Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hfomzHyi
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 767Please respect copyright.PENANApZpkUk4S28
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAlqGFEV1389
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.767Please respect copyright.PENANAyU8HtkP688
Angel quickly stood 767Please respect copyright.PENANAHHR5UPqI6t
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.767Please respect copyright.PENANA7MkMTJCMS5
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 767Please respect copyright.PENANAn5kqEBoqjd
dumb not to have realised it sooner.767Please respect copyright.PENANA76w1YHb4sF
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.767Please respect copyright.PENANAqqF9MkZ8FG
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.767Please respect copyright.PENANAVOtG6uuUcF
Angel closed her eyes767Please respect copyright.PENANARgLAble6dx
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 767Please respect copyright.PENANAocOI4nN6VF
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.767Please respect copyright.PENANAHTgSyIoTJJ
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAyyGTCOGja3
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."767Please respect copyright.PENANA8kcZGGL6VW
"What do you mean?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAhy9cny7oF2
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."767Please respect copyright.PENANAWJsmnvsIxW
"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?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAfLwBnOGlqw
"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."767Please respect copyright.PENANAzwuf6H1dd4
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.767Please respect copyright.PENANAJVtEJrdJgj
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."767Please respect copyright.PENANAGiIh4r1ii3
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."767Please respect copyright.PENANA84xcK9ZOC0
"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."767Please respect copyright.PENANAyoll0KbM8q
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAYdIyxzMnP4
Angel's mother gave 767Please respect copyright.PENANAyaGTblxaNT
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 767Please respect copyright.PENANAWNV4OxjtLS
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer767Please respect copyright.PENANA8VTLg9hMiw
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more767Please respect copyright.PENANAKJEuf1hz1U
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 767Please respect copyright.PENANAJBLqrk7iHF
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 767Please respect copyright.PENANAbW5vc8Q4Ih
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."767Please respect copyright.PENANAEsgfHVNchW
"You know I already gave you my word."767Please respect copyright.PENANAV9rhbeVygR
"And I know that 767Please respect copyright.PENANALRZ2Z3LSUw
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 767Please respect copyright.PENANAHPUpVPz6fC
please try to be patient with her, okay?"767Please respect copyright.PENANACNDUB0nB8S
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.767Please respect copyright.PENANAQxXZyHkduS
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.767Please respect copyright.PENANAV1nN0HDsrW
"Mum, wait, don't 767Please respect copyright.PENANA8RpsYoKy86
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 767Please respect copyright.PENANAFBjlpu3hWf
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 767Please respect copyright.PENANADh3bi2S2em
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 767Please respect copyright.PENANA6boK9EVPTy
between them even bigger.767Please respect copyright.PENANA1aXW2KPOdx
And then all of the 767Please respect copyright.PENANA2p0RI3R00W
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her767Please respect copyright.PENANAq153Fjvojf
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.767Please respect copyright.PENANAH3eTRd5hW6
***767Please respect copyright.PENANAckiCsRtQqp
It767Please respect copyright.PENANAgNJoEPYyDs
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 767Please respect copyright.PENANALfFJJHxNBw
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 767Please respect copyright.PENANAKeH3KzMUKd
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 767Please respect copyright.PENANAMeVb6Cp9Hv
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 767Please respect copyright.PENANAMCn23hmW4R
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a767Please respect copyright.PENANAtTvCgtWZ8T
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 767Please respect copyright.PENANAoGmZbtWdz5
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 767Please respect copyright.PENANAURxrQh4oqM
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 767Please respect copyright.PENANADtdrx0qR2A
was the ceiling above her.767Please respect copyright.PENANAzY6EowQqDp
Angel's767Please respect copyright.PENANA1kgwi8DRlR
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 767Please respect copyright.PENANAAYbzcSrHz4
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 767Please respect copyright.PENANA9WHPeAFO5S
her sister's voice.767Please respect copyright.PENANAvK00ZynOD7
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 767Please respect copyright.PENANAZc8K8XhPWr
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANAbO0jBcpvKr
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 767Please respect copyright.PENANARmoqjXDWkm
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 767Please respect copyright.PENANAry7MUy5qSr
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 767Please respect copyright.PENANAgI2Rnbd9Bb
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.767Please respect copyright.PENANAjqR7xVU9Rl
"Please,767Please respect copyright.PENANA9vtlhGsDzc
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to767Please respect copyright.PENANA4NYkyg2jRM
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.767Please respect copyright.PENANAKmY0a08BJ8
"I'm767Please respect copyright.PENANAVCbv3oUtj2
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 767Please respect copyright.PENANAvoEpDtuV9E
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process767Please respect copyright.PENANA5tLDJtklf1
everything at the moment.767Please respect copyright.PENANAFNdmyMbvUl
Carly's767Please respect copyright.PENANAdbYYNXQxDE
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 767Please respect copyright.PENANAaCGhgWBe6U
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 767Please respect copyright.PENANAYBlUncT6hk
showed it all. 767Please respect copyright.PENANA1rpASxuClq
"I767Please respect copyright.PENANAR8YsSvX8XS
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 767Please respect copyright.PENANAMG9XWBualz
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."767Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZcwCgj64
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANABQeRr0cAcX
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears767Please respect copyright.PENANA8JEZjqIfRa
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 767Please respect copyright.PENANAboQBlnyIA0
with remorse and her body ached even more.767Please respect copyright.PENANAX78Ex1Q0p8
"I'm767Please respect copyright.PENANAMVUlrmy5i5
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 767Please respect copyright.PENANAvQVScDoiX5
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 767Please respect copyright.PENANAAUc3eRbNVw
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 767Please respect copyright.PENANAXRHLkyYl95
forgive me too."767Please respect copyright.PENANAziNhOCcdJf
A767Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZkcxHLDkM
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 767Please respect copyright.PENANAzZxvadXyB8
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly767Please respect copyright.PENANACgh0BWtdVi
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 767Please respect copyright.PENANAZWFVw65fyj
footsteps. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAUdhTk5sxlp
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.767Please respect copyright.PENANA6J0rQe8fIJ
"Well,767Please respect copyright.PENANAQDSluZZ0pL
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 767Please respect copyright.PENANA3VOfDw2tXu
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 767Please respect copyright.PENANA7eHUZizqyh
revive her."767Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Hy3FJrs1
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 767Please respect copyright.PENANA6rdwNA9u3U
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."767Please respect copyright.PENANARz3KVu1PGh
Carly looked down at her767Please respect copyright.PENANA1uRQ7ABB8i
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 767Please respect copyright.PENANAC3XukwYgdx
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."767Please respect copyright.PENANATlk5bRlpKN
"And so as I," came the male voice.767Please respect copyright.PENANAcq5bgBLocU
Eric soon appeared 767Please respect copyright.PENANAIu66rLGGW5
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 767Please respect copyright.PENANAxl4R3m3SA7
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 767Please respect copyright.PENANAIcvSR8Lnzi
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 767Please respect copyright.PENANANqKJgwTSJb
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 767Please respect copyright.PENANA7GULYRKWXU
"You don't worry, she's 767Please respect copyright.PENANA9m58R71ELb
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 767Please respect copyright.PENANAuPtDlZ6DNX
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."767Please respect copyright.PENANAefI49YW7aE
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."767Please respect copyright.PENANAOe9pBpHKL5
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAmSpbPrqNup
Carly and Eric looked at767Please respect copyright.PENANAmgv1hTPC03
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 767Please respect copyright.PENANAfAUpoiVq6r
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.767Please respect copyright.PENANAB0HHvJm53n
"It's good to see you 767Please respect copyright.PENANAcLm8KETT8w
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to767Please respect copyright.PENANAaXsbUg5PBE
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."767Please respect copyright.PENANAWSY8zdOUHx
Angel saw the doctor 767Please respect copyright.PENANAwzzfXhbKR8
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 767Please respect copyright.PENANAgG70FqFua8
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 767Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Np6sB09o
rest was exactly what she needed.767Please respect copyright.PENANA3auUukU3Ug
***767Please respect copyright.PENANAd8MVwx6uDH
A767Please respect copyright.PENANARWNBasQqKX
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 767Please respect copyright.PENANABQtF9wbxHc
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 767Please respect copyright.PENANA8l8YDIKEfx
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 767Please respect copyright.PENANA2oUy24JRVL
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 767Please respect copyright.PENANAdHfWrUuRrk
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.767Please respect copyright.PENANA4xaihyNTuk
As767Please respect copyright.PENANAkIcIb5PUL6
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 767Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UWZ11jX4
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 767Please respect copyright.PENANAqtbtxtZ951
have. But she pulled through anyway. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAD6wK6DB1PM
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.767Please respect copyright.PENANAWWIPJECzt4
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAOUdytWYr0b
Carly767Please respect copyright.PENANAgWIJvM59nu
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had767Please respect copyright.PENANAT8INaNBmiH
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 767Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHUkpHcKp
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 767Please respect copyright.PENANA6b0AlFvdzF
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 767Please respect copyright.PENANAoMOB6v2RkA
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 767Please respect copyright.PENANA0EI4lHlZZK
wouldn't say anything. 767Please respect copyright.PENANA5GVc07qkGa
Even767Please respect copyright.PENANAKUk50V6ihr
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 767Please respect copyright.PENANAdAluKj1117
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 767Please respect copyright.PENANA5DiojKY2re
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was767Please respect copyright.PENANArMB9tuWxxe
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 767Please respect copyright.PENANAdorCgf6fCH
Angel kept her mouth shut.767Please respect copyright.PENANArYdCaPFUPJ
On767Please respect copyright.PENANAsQJs0Lat0C
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and767Please respect copyright.PENANAeHsgIQZAwf
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 767Please respect copyright.PENANAnvPsFbi57n
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 767Please respect copyright.PENANAe9VyKc4M7k
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 767Please respect copyright.PENANAtD24HVHc01
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over767Please respect copyright.PENANAKpbeXP8KpK
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 767Please respect copyright.PENANAwGpWMfEPbB
sometimes.767Please respect copyright.PENANAhkRSR7JTAl
As767Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Oq8ug5zh
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 767Please respect copyright.PENANAGZNmQeBGjQ
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.767Please respect copyright.PENANAKVdrdm98qQ
"Hello, there," said Eric.767Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Z9axrg8a
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.767Please respect copyright.PENANApkHKH4SizI
"Well,767Please respect copyright.PENANAfcacVGiedk
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 767Please respect copyright.PENANAvOzbs8qCBA
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 767Please respect copyright.PENANAmiVI7V4ruC
basket of fruits.767Please respect copyright.PENANAoWC6c4jhQ5
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.767Please respect copyright.PENANAHsA9bqlQeV
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."767Please respect copyright.PENANA4r8iYnxN8Y
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAnFhtWUjb31
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.767Please respect copyright.PENANArbDW08QSHi
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.767Please respect copyright.PENANAebjMxZaE2v
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.767Please respect copyright.PENANAWVrGzpu3nH
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ85qRkOaV
"I'll be right back," said Carly767Please respect copyright.PENANAItlOK8UhwR
Eric767Please respect copyright.PENANAGCOB79QLL8
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 767Please respect copyright.PENANArZhzW9Yxiw
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.767Please respect copyright.PENANA77LGTcv6WS
"I767Please respect copyright.PENANAx7oDRt3zQ7
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of767Please respect copyright.PENANA1WvMzwQ5Oh
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 767Please respect copyright.PENANACUOH9fl5YA
right?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAmLWNCaR3jy
Angel nodded.767Please respect copyright.PENANA9X2Ac0NI9W
Eric767Please respect copyright.PENANADD9JVqX8ET
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 767Please respect copyright.PENANA27FDIoqWFd
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."767Please respect copyright.PENANAOoOioesfLS
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANADDd2kAh5LW
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have767Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4V4ysj9kP
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 767Please respect copyright.PENANAKNUXaYqqEz
worse?767Please respect copyright.PENANArNpRdjiGhi
"But767Please respect copyright.PENANADfouWhPAIg
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 767Please respect copyright.PENANA6JRgAfnv3F
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 767Please respect copyright.PENANAmBrsRDgH8K
mouth.767Please respect copyright.PENANAF7vJSAutQd
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"767Please respect copyright.PENANA3tLEbB4RX2
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAKaov3PCEPd
"That's767Please respect copyright.PENANAk6zUkWObBv
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 767Please respect copyright.PENANAF2GzkKsvdn
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 767Please respect copyright.PENANALNlzvqbvak
eyebrows. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAbLbeQyb5eD
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."767Please respect copyright.PENANANtUmstcuJS
Eric767Please respect copyright.PENANA8PeQ6vrtKr
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know767Please respect copyright.PENANAtVC49Do1gE
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 767Please respect copyright.PENANADwO4bohqPu
dreaming.767Please respect copyright.PENANAR6zyyejVR7
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.767Please respect copyright.PENANAjc7WYEHfls
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.767Please respect copyright.PENANAMNTOjv9eZT
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."767Please respect copyright.PENANATsgAzZdWvS
"I767Please respect copyright.PENANAvF9QF9t9Sq
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 767Please respect copyright.PENANATxGxzdINwE
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 767Please respect copyright.PENANAtE91EI7fpG
quiet was the only way to keep calm."767Please respect copyright.PENANAsApeeClsm5
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."767Please respect copyright.PENANAywG0bJD594
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."767Please respect copyright.PENANAKlMfXejyIP
"Thanks, for what?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAPuqiET0scO
"For767Please respect copyright.PENANAQVeTmJIY5R
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 767Please respect copyright.PENANAl2lFvjdnyu
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a767Please respect copyright.PENANAmR1FLxKoRZ
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."767Please respect copyright.PENANAtoPh61K0bA
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."767Please respect copyright.PENANASwmg3cg6dB
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANA6dTn5t2yY5
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 767Please respect copyright.PENANAlE3egobe36
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAcWrcnsjYLM
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."767Please respect copyright.PENANAIoZakPYqdA
"The....767Please respect copyright.PENANAopQ31iHBY1
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 767Please respect copyright.PENANA1niHU8Kele
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 767Please respect copyright.PENANAW1tHGbJvOa
mother's death and then nothing."767Please respect copyright.PENANAxmxxXR4pvA
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAloGl1hkXIc
"I767Please respect copyright.PENANAbEoSUByLLr
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 767Please respect copyright.PENANA5sRWYJKzHW
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 767Please respect copyright.PENANAv9a5T3xJoA
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 767Please respect copyright.PENANA2mpkjP6sp0
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 767Please respect copyright.PENANAZN09fpWE2W
do you know who did it?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAp8bCpg9MHL
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."767Please respect copyright.PENANAalifthcIFl
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAVW0jQvYRdn
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"767Please respect copyright.PENANA7lMIrzhg2j
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAVwMGPjXuwk
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."767Please respect copyright.PENANA68WNFXzC4T
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."767Please respect copyright.PENANAni10200CUr
"No,767Please respect copyright.PENANAi91l4IfgO7
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 767Please respect copyright.PENANAmpSawjGYvo
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 767Please respect copyright.PENANARyoluO8wmT
Carly."767Please respect copyright.PENANAQHV0cpTaC9
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAFowP3VcLCg
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."767Please respect copyright.PENANAkc6mrpzFKr
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."767Please respect copyright.PENANAQXhJSRUqGz
"Coming767Please respect copyright.PENANAbmyaStHWWm
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 767Please respect copyright.PENANAmxwMkgzKlW
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."767Please respect copyright.PENANAdLkGWfYVAk
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANAArBXQfRuMQ
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked767Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnw6DKdoq
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.767Please respect copyright.PENANAxslwKucIjN
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAg0KHOKedG1
"I...767Please respect copyright.PENANAWeaNiIA1hH
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 767Please respect copyright.PENANAdSyW74QPRO
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."767Please respect copyright.PENANAGeM1FLJBoc
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAcF1GbPTNf3
"How do you know that?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAl99ch2HvoB
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."767Please respect copyright.PENANAmNjGjth0x8
Eric767Please respect copyright.PENANAKBI43wL9S1
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 767Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Gos0rhYX
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."767Please respect copyright.PENANAW2o0jnVUOJ
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAyJJuclWxYn
"You're right."767Please respect copyright.PENANAQDf16tpfcE
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."767Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZXQotZAN
"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."767Please respect copyright.PENANAX8EM7qdhjY
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.767Please respect copyright.PENANAV4j8MgDQXJ
"I'm767Please respect copyright.PENANAzNSxuFlheb
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 767Please respect copyright.PENANA5fXesUY0pA
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 767Please respect copyright.PENANA1KqV2rd8Wy
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."767Please respect copyright.PENANAE2JgpMETPo
Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANAmwFzzlm6DQ
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 767Please respect copyright.PENANAF7IKizmncf
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 767Please respect copyright.PENANArmBaw68s0k
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.767Please respect copyright.PENANA6houojXAnX
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."767Please respect copyright.PENANAyVaWpK5uvO
"What things?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAg3ZnkuvKXI
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."767Please respect copyright.PENANAff8W5k8r6r
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."767Please respect copyright.PENANAzygAGJKIxR
"You're sure?"767Please respect copyright.PENANAeJY4ulHzC1
"Of course, please do so, Eric."767Please respect copyright.PENANADMU6QXO0sD
Eric767Please respect copyright.PENANAoA54ujtege
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 767Please respect copyright.PENANA3jusLwGy63
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 767Please respect copyright.PENANACjVvDabVGk
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 767Please respect copyright.PENANAAWUyjxT3My
of a person living the good life.767Please respect copyright.PENANAjy06RqwWE9
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"767Please respect copyright.PENANARHQlEj3PIs
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAwdNeh5HUTB
"I'm767Please respect copyright.PENANA8ItfIxHp60
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 767Please respect copyright.PENANAJNGWnlrUlt
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 767Please respect copyright.PENANAxewtaIoBcU
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.767Please respect copyright.PENANADoLm0hxJOU
"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."767Please respect copyright.PENANA5qVEMPsDx6
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel767Please respect copyright.PENANA9MMxxvqVri
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 767Please respect copyright.PENANALWDxLm4vHi
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 767Please respect copyright.PENANAfJspROAzAn
stand her sister after everything.767Please respect copyright.PENANARMF6kkPoYv
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."767Please respect copyright.PENANAoVskqdgMEG
"Sorry767Please respect copyright.PENANACJO9yNkGq2
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 767Please respect copyright.PENANAS3qgxuVxiY
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."767Please respect copyright.PENANAE4OhhJBNbD
At767Please respect copyright.PENANALqeAMDbxRL
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 767Please respect copyright.PENANAyYxtDFdFvf
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 767Please respect copyright.PENANAbcU1KeycWQ
was starting to like this man already. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAPk8Hnmez5y
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.767Please respect copyright.PENANA9GhW66pL84
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."767Please respect copyright.PENANAKIvYt0UEXG
"Thank you."767Please respect copyright.PENANAotHDpgFvQu
"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."767Please respect copyright.PENANAKwXe8jHJhh
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.767Please respect copyright.PENANAFhMze1sA2e
"Well,767Please respect copyright.PENANAmXzEHKLDKF
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.767Please respect copyright.PENANAwM8rstBM2R
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 767Please respect copyright.PENANAjNAF4iG6sG
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 767Please respect copyright.PENANANDXffuHSTr
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 767Please respect copyright.PENANAOoxMYrxN49
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."767Please respect copyright.PENANAmDVFMJN2KP
"I hope you agree to it,767Please respect copyright.PENANAVe6xLFJRYN
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 767Please respect copyright.PENANAlq7mBIAYO8
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.767Please respect copyright.PENANAGFkUmDdhxe
Angel turned to face Mr 767Please respect copyright.PENANAOfXqdSI5qQ
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 767Please respect copyright.PENANAlogGTqzkuB
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 767Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wffz2P5Eg
coming.767Please respect copyright.PENANAaTez9j7S2Y
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
