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

"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

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.
