Angel's eyes flew 771Please respect copyright.PENANAIw933dBt7D
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 771Please respect copyright.PENANAJ69y1pu4d4
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 771Please respect copyright.PENANAOO6SMAV7ks
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 771Please respect copyright.PENANA8CoKmCj3zx
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 771Please respect copyright.PENANADCLBadHStN
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.771Please respect copyright.PENANAus1tM8Xm0B
Angel quickly stood 771Please respect copyright.PENANAPv9jh4FpHm
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.771Please respect copyright.PENANAOzrJZzTJpe
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 771Please respect copyright.PENANA8fgaOu1PI7
dumb not to have realised it sooner.771Please respect copyright.PENANA74JDcgaCiL
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.PENANA4O5F78nsub
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.771Please respect copyright.PENANAYqNgehulRi
Angel closed her eyes771Please respect copyright.PENANAyCzDHbQVEs
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6KNduZ9BdY
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.771Please respect copyright.PENANADlEXzUDrRj
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAeUhO8l0Ek4
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."771Please respect copyright.PENANAvpuJiptZNn
"What do you mean?"771Please respect copyright.PENANASvV4tCV8NZ
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."771Please respect copyright.PENANAZeGozr5hHB
"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?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAJHRCu7NlWo
"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."771Please respect copyright.PENANA1reAwtNZc1
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.771Please respect copyright.PENANAYHZWD2anwK
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."771Please respect copyright.PENANA29Hjxu9EOI
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."771Please respect copyright.PENANALX79DNbjqq
"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."771Please respect copyright.PENANAZLQeb4p5Ou
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAuPq6PgFAst
Angel's mother gave 771Please respect copyright.PENANAfo6lL0VQV1
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 771Please respect copyright.PENANAO3NjEgLu9O
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer771Please respect copyright.PENANAclMPhwUevI
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more771Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q1cW9HEF1
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 771Please respect copyright.PENANAG2lt4JrK28
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 771Please respect copyright.PENANAvccEwAJJrz
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."771Please respect copyright.PENANAsiNq3FMviM
"You know I already gave you my word."771Please respect copyright.PENANAnV37TagtB6
"And I know that 771Please respect copyright.PENANAGVjzgKDR1b
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 771Please respect copyright.PENANAA8QTklnmqH
please try to be patient with her, okay?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAvKzqrUHIef
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.771Please respect copyright.PENANARPAPz17opA
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.771Please respect copyright.PENANAO27Vm9vAht
"Mum, wait, don't 771Please respect copyright.PENANARR9aSxY0Qu
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 771Please respect copyright.PENANA9k5MIkQOOC
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 771Please respect copyright.PENANAGqdeBnRXLo
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6zkc22aWuK
between them even bigger.771Please respect copyright.PENANAca7IaE4ypQ
And then all of the 771Please respect copyright.PENANAbCE9Rew3Ic
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her771Please respect copyright.PENANA9OueSYJguN
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.771Please respect copyright.PENANA259krJEP5Q
***771Please respect copyright.PENANAR17vgkz5rq
It771Please respect copyright.PENANAlFhns7KM2O
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 771Please respect copyright.PENANApR5sI50TQj
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 771Please respect copyright.PENANAn3jsgdjkn0
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 771Please respect copyright.PENANAHcxUrRAkIl
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 771Please respect copyright.PENANAUC43bItU5t
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a771Please respect copyright.PENANAdLzqqDRW6u
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 771Please respect copyright.PENANAILOxD7EgwI
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 771Please respect copyright.PENANAHp6d8DL4VU
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 771Please respect copyright.PENANAeHZBINCJ4n
was the ceiling above her.771Please respect copyright.PENANAeztKDcaXZs
Angel's771Please respect copyright.PENANABTBQGcLSVR
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 771Please respect copyright.PENANAl1ttJ5Y7Cb
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 771Please respect copyright.PENANAN9BtSW1foS
her sister's voice.771Please respect copyright.PENANAqbC00KWFHE
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 771Please respect copyright.PENANAkSoXuIOamQ
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANARHyKecKI9x
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZxSSddWUr
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 771Please respect copyright.PENANAjGPH7VU9Ex
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 771Please respect copyright.PENANAdY8XyS7qka
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.771Please respect copyright.PENANA0yVRJzsJFy
"Please,771Please respect copyright.PENANAybvQgXxRMM
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to771Please respect copyright.PENANA5SSmCcpasq
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.771Please respect copyright.PENANAerckFUtiN9
"I'm771Please respect copyright.PENANAw3Pgdg8dHv
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 771Please respect copyright.PENANAW8VzLJLPMw
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process771Please respect copyright.PENANADLIKeCdn1r
everything at the moment.771Please respect copyright.PENANAyBPuSeMb8F
Carly's771Please respect copyright.PENANAbUw1E5m3YV
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 771Please respect copyright.PENANAXfTSHsjsXu
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 771Please respect copyright.PENANABk6Vaxj9Go
showed it all. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAC3MH96YxwK
"I771Please respect copyright.PENANApYbSoUNIOf
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 771Please respect copyright.PENANAgcOqRuhKOe
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."771Please respect copyright.PENANAFwlCFqwhiO
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANAYpzZSEC99Y
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears771Please respect copyright.PENANAhfAUKdETeF
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 771Please respect copyright.PENANAUDRonQZH6Y
with remorse and her body ached even more.771Please respect copyright.PENANAksDzZjDX41
"I'm771Please respect copyright.PENANAKLAXfY40PI
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 771Please respect copyright.PENANAa8SNaPUwqs
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 771Please respect copyright.PENANAhUDiBYHUul
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 771Please respect copyright.PENANAiPNztAIeJ7
forgive me too."771Please respect copyright.PENANAdxRnD84avx
A771Please respect copyright.PENANAY14hi761zi
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 771Please respect copyright.PENANAdVA0ZOBtw0
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly771Please respect copyright.PENANAKPZKv0a0T1
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 771Please respect copyright.PENANAplZYJ6kSMa
footsteps. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAoXZkMuyz53
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.771Please respect copyright.PENANACq9QjsMKth
"Well,771Please respect copyright.PENANAdrCTayhdAy
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 771Please respect copyright.PENANA5UxPlpP1J1
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 771Please respect copyright.PENANAzsylvdOf1h
revive her."771Please respect copyright.PENANAPA5bpRf5H4
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAgeFRxau3iP
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."771Please respect copyright.PENANA8Loue4AYoF
Carly looked down at her771Please respect copyright.PENANA4n4rk8pxW6
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 771Please respect copyright.PENANAUPZSCnUDE4
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."771Please respect copyright.PENANABqI8ezQSiT
"And so as I," came the male voice.771Please respect copyright.PENANAu8lpuw8Io4
Eric soon appeared 771Please respect copyright.PENANASLHCbFLgsU
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 771Please respect copyright.PENANAs2xrj3rhPO
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 771Please respect copyright.PENANARTfpkqSHBS
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAlGSbi3B8X8
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAjCrLMGmJPM
"You don't worry, she's 771Please respect copyright.PENANAr6K0i6vIBm
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 771Please respect copyright.PENANAQRA9MdNMxR
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."771Please respect copyright.PENANAsFFDw0Tzb9
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."771Please respect copyright.PENANAv0rjIeRx25
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAvykNeRqvn1
Carly and Eric looked at771Please respect copyright.PENANAE6cdxIabLL
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 771Please respect copyright.PENANAduKcZf4vTB
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.771Please respect copyright.PENANA95tD8mvPcB
"It's good to see you 771Please respect copyright.PENANAFAAktozm4G
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to771Please respect copyright.PENANA2X7lDZq0w2
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."771Please respect copyright.PENANAqsnjFwq79D
Angel saw the doctor 771Please respect copyright.PENANAglk1gGZlUx
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6AGIAbfM0u
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 771Please respect copyright.PENANAedNmmwqu3u
rest was exactly what she needed.771Please respect copyright.PENANAwrFd62UljW
***771Please respect copyright.PENANABwAeab97OJ
A771Please respect copyright.PENANA8aVSvxfgrV
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 771Please respect copyright.PENANAjqaaafEpg9
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 771Please respect copyright.PENANAYmvr9Q67O8
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 771Please respect copyright.PENANATKL04t5QeA
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 771Please respect copyright.PENANAElPaPUHfVp
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.771Please respect copyright.PENANAnooSD823FT
As771Please respect copyright.PENANAGxjCE7CZgZ
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 771Please respect copyright.PENANA1lBAIId3jF
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 771Please respect copyright.PENANAlbXrgnNRLt
have. But she pulled through anyway. 771Please respect copyright.PENANABezZLFmSMz
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.771Please respect copyright.PENANAoRTK7HfiG9
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 771Please respect copyright.PENANALVk1pjmYyM
Carly771Please respect copyright.PENANARTVxhLQGlA
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had771Please respect copyright.PENANALmWRi30Yr4
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 771Please respect copyright.PENANAx3KLtOG4TD
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 771Please respect copyright.PENANA3hSP3wOggT
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 771Please respect copyright.PENANAhCp4D4kfVz
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 771Please respect copyright.PENANAW4taEOdl1n
wouldn't say anything. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAutIDokRbbE
Even771Please respect copyright.PENANAFLeHDQaEoN
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6IMUJFdVGh
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 771Please respect copyright.PENANALoSMav0wo5
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was771Please respect copyright.PENANAGTPBMIqPje
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 771Please respect copyright.PENANARCEvW3YMu7
Angel kept her mouth shut.771Please respect copyright.PENANAC0uCASMyzA
On771Please respect copyright.PENANAhTawHM6Y4E
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and771Please respect copyright.PENANAMwG6AVcFIR
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 771Please respect copyright.PENANAlN8jmVc8Up
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 771Please respect copyright.PENANAoANCUsfK3T
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 771Please respect copyright.PENANA3kVLBo0GnB
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over771Please respect copyright.PENANACFHT8aKkEK
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 771Please respect copyright.PENANAYzSOZfo4ON
sometimes.771Please respect copyright.PENANAV1YKIfZPxE
As771Please respect copyright.PENANAWhzY4hvivH
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 771Please respect copyright.PENANA3DNOHiVtCH
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.771Please respect copyright.PENANAIcntl1vr5t
"Hello, there," said Eric.771Please respect copyright.PENANAHctBTlENHg
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.771Please respect copyright.PENANApYy6vYxxam
"Well,771Please respect copyright.PENANAySwdAniCZ2
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 771Please respect copyright.PENANARZJrZuPNl7
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 771Please respect copyright.PENANAEIYtKldjro
basket of fruits.771Please respect copyright.PENANAscEcYaLYVa
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.771Please respect copyright.PENANAgEKmCdEqhn
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."771Please respect copyright.PENANAVoLa43c6vi
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAzl41g3XnW9
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.771Please respect copyright.PENANAqIKmpyWZCV
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.771Please respect copyright.PENANA8LiqMucnVG
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.771Please respect copyright.PENANA6OYVQfAZbB
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAoiMOtO0ycy
"I'll be right back," said Carly771Please respect copyright.PENANAeuXg3CgfMe
Eric771Please respect copyright.PENANAXMaIwpLxPO
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 771Please respect copyright.PENANA90ZFnNnr2i
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.771Please respect copyright.PENANAuRFtxdEa9M
"I771Please respect copyright.PENANAaErjvXVb9q
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of771Please respect copyright.PENANAfgROsXnCKv
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 771Please respect copyright.PENANA6PYtxmOIIk
right?"771Please respect copyright.PENANANVvy4JHEgr
Angel nodded.771Please respect copyright.PENANAnS2zwbNIM0
Eric771Please respect copyright.PENANAf5nVrNWc97
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 771Please respect copyright.PENANAYmFKvQAIrn
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."771Please respect copyright.PENANAKK9F8BAPnz
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ24bjqYsu
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have771Please respect copyright.PENANAgfx6WQRDsr
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 771Please respect copyright.PENANAxC0EX1aBR9
worse?771Please respect copyright.PENANAJK2egVGFYE
"But771Please respect copyright.PENANA4qpGYTqSwU
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 771Please respect copyright.PENANA0sHKPOacfF
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 771Please respect copyright.PENANAMCoKxb6tH4
mouth.771Please respect copyright.PENANArzaWL8V9MF
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAWe2g0WXLtL
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 771Please respect copyright.PENANA3qzWfsRGtc
"That's771Please respect copyright.PENANA09fVnPftPP
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 771Please respect copyright.PENANAbdW4cEM0Av
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 771Please respect copyright.PENANAYOQCH3oxQG
eyebrows. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAC3U7RYJvUt
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."771Please respect copyright.PENANA4B6OArXwys
Eric771Please respect copyright.PENANAjCzODzWyAe
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know771Please respect copyright.PENANAKClguPv1Uw
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 771Please respect copyright.PENANAuifLOC1pR6
dreaming.771Please respect copyright.PENANA4I6bmShctx
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.771Please respect copyright.PENANAj46KF5zl4r
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.771Please respect copyright.PENANAtnEXtFTugw
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."771Please respect copyright.PENANA9h9UqnZQtX
"I771Please respect copyright.PENANALnjxdBiQtG
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 771Please respect copyright.PENANAFGArEz7jz6
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 771Please respect copyright.PENANApc7HGpB4yg
quiet was the only way to keep calm."771Please respect copyright.PENANAa7dh50c8oo
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."771Please respect copyright.PENANAFA5vKMIM12
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."771Please respect copyright.PENANAcGgjdg0N3y
"Thanks, for what?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAKRtoGY8Y7g
"For771Please respect copyright.PENANA9E4y2BJfIT
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 771Please respect copyright.PENANA4sRatsXn7v
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a771Please respect copyright.PENANAa9Bdn83Coz
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."771Please respect copyright.PENANAlrvk5fXpj1
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."771Please respect copyright.PENANA3o1sN8aS51
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANAitBwoVMhjj
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 771Please respect copyright.PENANA8hBPvuGVau
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAyu1qXLdJBz
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."771Please respect copyright.PENANAa4vG6ITFld
"The....771Please respect copyright.PENANAAhrwM94AET
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 771Please respect copyright.PENANAAikYy7SWyE
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 771Please respect copyright.PENANANOzhzADNDN
mother's death and then nothing."771Please respect copyright.PENANAGlvr6WNmTt
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"771Please respect copyright.PENANA1HZWKccG2b
"I771Please respect copyright.PENANAJYSVVaESP2
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 771Please respect copyright.PENANAgAU4nimDff
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 771Please respect copyright.PENANALJKGMqgkhK
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 771Please respect copyright.PENANADFr5I72XvY
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 771Please respect copyright.PENANAg1DvAkAwQW
do you know who did it?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAu8OnXO2VyT
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."771Please respect copyright.PENANA6mqMI0xbnW
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAKAo99TBDMj
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAtsY03BTvSR
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAts6DQxyyu6
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."771Please respect copyright.PENANADj3oREqKWA
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."771Please respect copyright.PENANAn2DddhrhIy
"No,771Please respect copyright.PENANAGKQM7JYfsj
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 771Please respect copyright.PENANAzrdLl7tk97
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 771Please respect copyright.PENANAut8E4d0IRU
Carly."771Please respect copyright.PENANAS1HHtz70cU
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"771Please respect copyright.PENANA90QdVPNzfE
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."771Please respect copyright.PENANA2OjFzlPC18
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."771Please respect copyright.PENANASMYGY7pUbi
"Coming771Please respect copyright.PENANAm8xSvvKQD5
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 771Please respect copyright.PENANAkzImghFkUC
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."771Please respect copyright.PENANAzqKZGTtkIY
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANAdrrtNHcT33
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked771Please respect copyright.PENANAwTkq8IIHLm
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.771Please respect copyright.PENANA99dW6Xn7ga
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAnIP5zDuv4O
"I...771Please respect copyright.PENANAJiZDxXz5aQ
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 771Please respect copyright.PENANACiLcbdfuXk
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."771Please respect copyright.PENANAfPanUrsCNx
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAmTvHzMyjk5
"How do you know that?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAvmOXnMzQpN
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."771Please respect copyright.PENANAQWt1IoId75
Eric771Please respect copyright.PENANAa13pc9Lxzg
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 771Please respect copyright.PENANAW5Bux1qy8q
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."771Please respect copyright.PENANAADgUAdJdCg
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAxBp35ZsHeu
"You're right."771Please respect copyright.PENANAHhi2KGEMht
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."771Please respect copyright.PENANAxyQQJc9zwu
"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."771Please respect copyright.PENANA2D67QXMRwz
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.PENANAzSreQvFRCv
"I'm771Please respect copyright.PENANAAhFItHJeXE
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 771Please respect copyright.PENANAmXI9cdvbr4
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 771Please respect copyright.PENANA7UU2RDZwui
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."771Please respect copyright.PENANA2ji3KiMxnc
Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANAsoImUv9eOJ
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 771Please respect copyright.PENANAV7zFKMX2G2
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 771Please respect copyright.PENANAi3b0zYLJX9
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.771Please respect copyright.PENANAgyPqId35Vg
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."771Please respect copyright.PENANA3ypIFgJaK4
"What things?"771Please respect copyright.PENANARDtsdv6vZ6
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."771Please respect copyright.PENANA8qFTEbxV2U
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."771Please respect copyright.PENANAMevVqqXL74
"You're sure?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAxbkh8B0tAF
"Of course, please do so, Eric."771Please respect copyright.PENANAh1o2tqMlfL
Eric771Please respect copyright.PENANAixajugl4v6
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 771Please respect copyright.PENANAkKqMMe6a1u
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 771Please respect copyright.PENANAsGnGv9W8Hk
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 771Please respect copyright.PENANAiNnKrgEpZd
of a person living the good life.771Please respect copyright.PENANAjKaWmiYoNJ
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"771Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhkEbAqbS
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAKSOnOlXm3C
"I'm771Please respect copyright.PENANAoEqX3E5Hmr
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 771Please respect copyright.PENANAuvr6aGVsgf
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 771Please respect copyright.PENANAIwAXX3C5Ms
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.771Please respect copyright.PENANAgwt1TE0I0b
"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."771Please respect copyright.PENANA8M6I9LqqRS
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel771Please respect copyright.PENANA1TXkMXy7LG
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAUsrs2DOxb4
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 771Please respect copyright.PENANAJGph5SLQe1
stand her sister after everything.771Please respect copyright.PENANAAfjnNpoDVB
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."771Please respect copyright.PENANADnaHrEMeXM
"Sorry771Please respect copyright.PENANAHfl7ZJJk94
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 771Please respect copyright.PENANA930PKipfTd
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."771Please respect copyright.PENANA63qTFbkL69
At771Please respect copyright.PENANAVLS6sVIGjL
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 771Please respect copyright.PENANAM0lQiORW0r
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 771Please respect copyright.PENANAsRury45tGC
was starting to like this man already. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAgO46Yiahrl
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.771Please respect copyright.PENANANwbLYn0IbN
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."771Please respect copyright.PENANAAgJTFgzRim
"Thank you."771Please respect copyright.PENANAgcHfIomoCB
"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."771Please respect copyright.PENANA4sgPsczAzc
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.771Please respect copyright.PENANAi7OXwDNXto
"Well,771Please respect copyright.PENANAf6Ii9eMehF
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.771Please respect copyright.PENANA2O5NzLs24J
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 771Please respect copyright.PENANAvehygX7YXv
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 771Please respect copyright.PENANALW2URDFKro
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 771Please respect copyright.PENANAyXgWFU6MVJ
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."771Please respect copyright.PENANAwEjMUEYwvh
"I hope you agree to it,771Please respect copyright.PENANAyfIDtg0n7E
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 771Please respect copyright.PENANA8nsfLjXUEW
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.771Please respect copyright.PENANAC53q8Au4sS
Angel turned to face Mr 771Please respect copyright.PENANAZki0HDy0VZ
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 771Please respect copyright.PENANAp6aJeBz7Ml
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 771Please respect copyright.PENANAvgLQFfq619
coming.771Please respect copyright.PENANA6xJRHhizh6
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
