Angel's eyes flew 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKipMoZpKHo
open as she felt something warm and soft touch her face. Everything 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg33UUAb6Rp
around her seemed a little hazy and bright as her eyes slowly adjusted 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bVRQlC3k
to the light. She could see a figure looking down at her and Angel had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qZ0t7wbtS
to shade her eyes to see the person's face clearly. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1quRZv0jk
"Hello, my sweetheart," came the voice of the person looking down at her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwfTanS0gJ
Angel quickly stood 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagd0l28EwQ
up from the floor she was lying on and faced the person in front of her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWfmFDsh9z
The sound of the person's voice was so familiar now that Angel felt 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZDDrk9LD
dumb not to have realised it sooner.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9saToMFwdq
"Mum, is that you?" Angel asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTHV3J7bU
"Of course, its me, my lovely Angel," her mother replied as she touched Angel's cheek with her soft hand.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TUfwKHo7I
Angel closed her eyes1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhtf9FddL
at the touch of her mother's hand and felt like lingering on it for a 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpivJIQWXX
life time. She opened her eyes and her mother smiled at her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIlUWmNwnY
"I thought you were dead," said Angel. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsWh02lRhT
"Honey, I know it will be difficult to tell you this, but sadly, I'm not where you're right now."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLohJ2Gam
"What do you mean?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmswZeAEfy
"I'm long gone from earth, Angel. I'm simply no more."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjN3UaTwDt
"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?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhak0lK6iol
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o6tyCfENk
"Carly, she's really disappointed me, mum," said Angel as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36nvXIeCIX
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN5WPfSzNn
"If it means forgiving her I'm not going to do it. That will take a life time."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXodJrneo9j
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJbdjFRQvw
"I bet you're going to remind me of my promise, aren't you?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3KTMCDJ8n
Angel's mother gave 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe4BM4Dy1o
her daughter a bright smile while she stroked her cheek. "Of course, I 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDOyalJEq
was going to remind you of just that. I know that now that I'm no longer1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAWbPsXbfk
around, its going to be difficult for you. Your life will get even more1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJpXd7mosG
complicated after all this, but just know that I'm always there when 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuSr8YcTQ
you need me. And the most important thing, always take care of your 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVP8MKF5b
sister no matter what she does. And that you always try to fix things even when it seems impossible to do so."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdolejwwM4
"You know I already gave you my word."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bmdlMgcvz
"And I know that 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnUJfymlei
you'll keep it. I know you might try to tear your sister to shreds, but 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQoVwepCjf
please try to be patient with her, okay?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEXUXEq6bG
Before Angel could reply, she noticed that her mother had stood further away from her towards something bright.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Ry02gZwL
"I have to go now, just remember that I love you, Angel and your sister too," said her mother.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9qHcl2Zsp
"Mum, wait, don't 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6t5BuqyV
go," said Angel as she started to run towards her mother. Her mother 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5gmcVnKTx
didn't move from where she stood and Angel felt the distance widen. She 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgGQq7VHdz
tried running as fast as she could, but that just made the distance 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILocTqM0JK
between them even bigger.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIV35TnnCU
And then all of the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ssCB4leDF
sudden, darkness begun to swallow everything around and the smile on her1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1XCjEbBy
mother's face was the last thing Angel saw.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6TWePN5tc
***1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aVeKCNI6A
It1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHkYMo8asT
felt like drowning as Angel took in air through her nostrils, filling 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1D5KPP5JS
up her painful lungs. A sudden pain and heaviness quickly descended on 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCUohtQJ5L
her body and she might have heard herself wince in pain. Her eyes felt 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ky4Bmcjs
too heavy to open, but she did her best to do so anyway. She could tell 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tZ8MsBjaM
as she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, that she was staring at a1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeeajRtJI4
ceiling. The sound of a beeping machine was the first thing she heard 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrUbx5WoEJ
and when she tried to turn her neck, she realised she couldn't move and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWahMRNCBG
her body ached all over. Her eyes rolled around, but all she could see 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0WaOo6hre
was the ceiling above her.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGX8SMkkt7
Angel's1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5QnAPSuP9
heart started to beat aimlessly as she realised she couldn't move at 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pUOM9wLHj
all. She felt quite scared thinking she was all alone until she heard 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiTAtgxvt3
her sister's voice.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV52vqXkLx2
"Angel? Oh my gosh, she's alive!" 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dzWJTJ3H
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXO4JtPC0D
felt like breathing out a sigh of relief, but she knew it was going to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTPxU7AZh
be painful. She noticed the face mask on her face and wanted to remove 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiy5Hclq4V
it. She could feel her fingers, but lifting her whole hand was going to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVSkYAEBv
be a painful process. Her body felt heavy as it already was.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJwwjLqeyI
"Please,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24V00Gb4xl
call the doctor! My sister is alive!" Carly seemed to be calling out to1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhde28ZjZmy
someone in the room and a male voice grabbed Angel's attention.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyVg4doWv8
"I'm1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2D1hB5q4g
going, I'm going." Quick footsteps were heard and faded away. Angel 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6p7E5ywXC
could tell that the voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't process1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnu1BDogMU
everything at the moment.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uja8eYr6v
Carly's1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaiHNGazNg
face came into view as she looked down at Angel. Angel could tell that 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKETYx18hD
her sister had been crying. Her puffy red eyes and stuffy red nose 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZ2InfW4h
showed it all. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvh049Z8eL
"I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xIaI9ExyR
thought I lost you, Angel," said Carly, "when your heart stopped 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nYM8VYRQV
beating, I thought you were gone forever. I don't want to lose you too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnco4ENym9F
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09nHNZhlV3
noticed the black shirt Carly was wearing and her eyes stung with tears1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLDULpSFfx
as she remembered that her mother had passed on. Her heart felt heavy 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQiBa7K8IH
with remorse and her body ached even more.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufUhKgzHPp
"I'm1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYAHLGwtkM
so sorry, Angel," said Carly as tears sreamed down her face. "I feel 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdYdpeyK1T
most of this is all my fault and I know I let you down. Please forgive 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70cU1MlRR
me. And I also hope that wherever mum is, that she will also be able to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3y5q4a4ld
forgive me too."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKKaeeX4PH
A1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NdhLyylNe
tear streamed down Angel's cheek as she continued to stare up at her 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qm6yEwRj3
sister. She wanted to comfort her sister, but she was still mad at Carly1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjioHJ2OW8b
and she didn't feel like speaking at the moment. Soon she heard quick 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uVafqObQM
footsteps. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ePWYCgII
"Doctor, my sister is okay," said Carly as she turned to address the doctor.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTmwNABohK
"Well,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yV8j8Tbb
isn't that a miracle?" the doctor said, "looks like your sister fought 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszUjGb6ro0
with death and won. I also thought she was gone the time we tried to 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk08dGT50D
revive her."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2UTN1gY8o
"Well, Angel is as tough as I thought," came the male voice again which Angel still couldn't recognise. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq13izFkTU
"I think you two better leave while we take some tests," said the doctor, "don't you worry."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoVnVcd1Mi
Carly looked down at her1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTAeCiUuk
sister, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm glad you're back, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCLNZFzLK0
Angel. I don't know what I would've have done without you."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydFWvt7nej
"And so as I," came the male voice.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcbTYG5QhY
Eric soon appeared 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLbNCpkTo9
within Angel's sights and he had a sad smile on his face. Angel's eyes 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKWTZFRo5Z
widen at the sight of his cute sad face. She felt like smiling at him, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabFOjifaS
but a sudden wince of pain came out of her mouth. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6rx2XO8E
"Angel, are you feeling hurt?" Carly asked looking worried. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05QkcnJ9a7
"You don't worry, she's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLq89Jv7TG
in pain, but that will wear off as soon as she takes her medication," 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbMroCHvWx
said the doctor, "I suggest you leave while she takes her rest."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnmAPTLm5T
"Let's go, Carly, the doctor's right," said Eric, "we will come see her later on when she feels better."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheRoOZS8ev
"Okay, let's go," said Carly. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YjQhAE5co
Carly and Eric looked at1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhKI4dFmOH
Angel one last time. As the two left the room, the doctor appeared 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR52SfLn9M
beside Angel with a bright warm smile on his face.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHLvkfbOOx
"It's good to see you 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbhb2NMlVk
alive, Angel," said the doctor, "now, I'll give you a little sedative to1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiInY7GcbC
ease the pain and you can have enough rest."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQGwwN7AtV
Angel saw the doctor 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVBrMwyj8
inject some liquid into her IV and she quickly felt the effects of the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOiYdVFxtc
sedative taking over. Her eyes peacefully closed as she realised that 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0nyVaaEp6
rest was exactly what she needed.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SjpAwXBGl
***1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezbPAaqRsP
A1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLmgjku7Ar
week had passed and Angel was recovering slowly. It seemed like 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVqXXVRDt
forever, but Angel was patient enough to wait until her body mended 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8VVu7J44c
itself. Carly was always there everyday to watch over and take care of 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d4DRA1ba3
her. Even Eric also did the same, surprisingly. And that made Angel 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN9Uo6JBPL
wonder why he would be so interested in her well being.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJ11HZmQl
As1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRnCEAVEHB
the week passed on, Angel had quickly recovered from her mother's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PxAEHguGC
death. It didn't really have a mental effect as she thought it would 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4yAhsabzw
have. But she pulled through anyway. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmX3nmk7AV
Apparently, one thing seemed to bother Carly, Eric, the doctor and nurses who took care of Angel.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5AkXi9wHs
Angel had never altered a word since she gained consciousness. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoD726rIFx
Carly1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsIGSl0mw5
had once asked the doctor this and wondered if their mother's death had1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkMqjvePh
anything to do with it or maybe her vocal cords had a problem. But 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKvSlDWvnN
sadly, the doctor had no answer because he recently had a check up on 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LN1ZGOfH2
Angel's vocal cords and everything seemed perfectly normal. All she did 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKdMeowPIg
was nod or shake her head if they ever asked a question, but she 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5lQ1nEI6Q
wouldn't say anything. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0BW8ac7zY
Even1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnAY6FtNFk
after the third day after Angel gained consciousness, the police 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOCG0OgSAx
decided to take a police statement from her, but everything went to no 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi36vdZarpA
avail. Even Angel's workmates would come now and then to see how she was1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzwY7HXBT
doing and her boss, Mark Dean, came to see her as well. But still, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QIzAcjWgQ
Angel kept her mouth shut.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfAiT7iND
On1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnqBzEaUX3
Saturday, Carly was around, taking care of Angel. It was lunch time and1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCjxixAuwd
Carly was feeding her sister. Angel was now able to sit up in bed even 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFEbzw65S8
though her body still ached like hell. She still had a bandage wrapped 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeybnmz2eV3
around her forehead because of a deep scar, her left arm was still 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVcDnPuCNB
broken and it was heavily bandaged. Her neck had healed drastically over1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDa1Z3G6O5
a few days and her legs were doing okay, but they ached a little 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiFk7JC5oA
sometimes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIwpvJdm3c
As1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4A9XIYIt
Carly fed Angel another spoon of chicken soup, the door suddenly flew 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvtjuefHym
open and Eric came in with a bouquet of roses and a basket of friut.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdi3ucnhB
"Hello, there," said Eric.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMYMat7bPB
"Oh, hi, Eric," said Carly and Angel just gave him a half smile.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4Y294EvV
"Well,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBXKdUFDZf
I see that you're doing better today, Angel," said Eric as he placed 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8CMakWUOi
the roses on top of the drawer next to her bedside together with the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUT5k4AUj
basket of fruits.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnD8aI7X4n
"Wow, aren't those like the third bouquet of flowers you sent her this week?" Carly asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDTIgY9lci
"Maybe, I don't really count anyway."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVASrAAWf6
"Awww! You see, Angel, looks like you have someone crushing on you. What do you have to say about that?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04K6nWI6Z9
Angel's smile widen a little, but she still didn't say anything.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlxDZLTpTk
"Um.. Carly, he's here and he wants to speak to you," said Eric.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CrRVGtoXN
Angel raised an eyebrow. Something fishy was going on and she didn't like it. Who are they talking about? she wondered.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOwsaTT9uk
Carly looked at Angel and then at Eric. She gave the bowl of soup to Eric. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAHu67rLpa
"I'll be right back," said Carly1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Ar5JqYFJ
Eric1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9XyQAhFzA
looked up at Angel as Carly left the room. Angel looked at him giving 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ddo9grLaZ
him a face indicating that he should tell her what was going on.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7jODBFIi
"I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMcVkwFEad
know that look on your face, Angel," said Eric as he sat on the edge of1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeTqAkXBOm
the hospital bed to feed her. "You want to know what's going on, 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCRShNumR
right?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3HtFDpaKn
Angel nodded.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69unJwocQd
Eric1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXZwNEHGf
shook his head. "I can't tell you all that at the moment. It's best if 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZWSvAAefG
Carly does. It has something to do with your mother."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrd4E2tkCp
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOiM8JXq0
now started to think of the worst. What was it now? Did her mother have1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Js58rjhH
debts she failed to pay before she died or was it something far much 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UNclH9O1Y
worse?1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEk757Ckcx
"But1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwy9gtIWeh
you don't worry about anything. Carly told me that you'll find out 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5EirdeQ2
what's going on," said Eric as he lifted the spoon towards Angel's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xqVfdP6l1
mouth.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvFsgGY0Lh
"Now, open wide. You need to finish your lunch, okay?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt1hNoNl2q
Angel did as she was told and Eric put the spoon in her mouth. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM9MeXw6au
"That's1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSgFIexyG
a good girl. I might just give you some special dessert at the end of 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCAXmkwY7i
all this. What do you think about that?" Eric asked as he wiggled his 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShCTsNZTyV
eyebrows. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Alq66Lyq
"And will that dessert be your lips? Because if it is, I'll gladly slap your cheek."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOaIR4QnG
Eric1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1uZ6E1EBZ
stared at Angel with his mouth agape. She finally spoke. He didn't know1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdEAwOOgJ6
whether to hug her or kiss her for her to slap him and see if he was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjRiFEr4nU
dreaming.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UDL0YVkWd
"You... talked!" Eric almost exclaimed, but Angel covered his mouth with her good right hand.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o0WLq7fAu
"I don't want Carly to find out, keep your voice down," said Angel quietly.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsToEvWZ3NO
"Don't worry, Carly is in the lobby. But why have you been quiet all this time, Angel? You had all of us worried."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFQo0uhlBJ
"I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN16jSqogr
know," Angel leaned her back onto the soft pillows behind her, "I just 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EUE1Yc33v
didn't feel like talking and all. After all that had happened, being 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujptJuVdbv
quiet was the only way to keep calm."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9yHuGabge
"But you should have said something to someone. If not Carly or I, at least the doctor."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVaVQS1JZX
Angel looked at Eric and held his hand. "Thank you, Eric."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTquyonV8cH
"Thanks, for what?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSTvPAndbi
"For1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQeaixkbK
being there even if we barely know each other," said Angel with a sad 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Av3tGCR7
smile on her face. "You kept my sister company even though I never said a1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dr0H0Ombw
word to her. I just didn't want to leash out my anger on her."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8dxkIeOSN
"Its nothing, Angel. When I said I was glad to meet you back at the bar, I truly meant it."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPUDGjpiB9
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslLH4ea0fd
smiled and then something quickly came to mind. Images of what had 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjLKgSkV6V
happened last week at the day of the accident came back. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIWH3Dczz
"Hey, are you okay?" Eric asked. "You looked pale for a second."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI2mDblAO6
"The....1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswBMOSAKs8
the day, I had the accident," started Angel, "what really happened? 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCTm8q0g9T
Because all I remember is the phone call of someone telling me about my 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPUyIG18io
mother's death and then nothing."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPpoBCIgO
"You don't really remember a car hitting you on that day?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0357C5ZgG
"I1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXch5qwmFV
know a car hit me, but who was driving the car? I want to know. I was 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOFvOy8USr
hoping you and Carly would bring up the topic these past few days, but 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoEQ7T5tJ
you didn't. When the police came, I knew I wasn't going to say much 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wGgcQR9OV
because I don't know anything. Now you tell me, was it a hit and run or 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Roi8DWN36
do you know who did it?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGwfIVmsih
Eric looked the other way for a moment. "No, Angel. It wasn't a hit and run."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQdDId8203
"Then will you tell me?" Angel asked. "Why do you look like that? Is there something I should know?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiLFPE6jML
"Remember, the guy who was with your sister at the bar that day?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UOwWMBjXH
"Ya, I remember the jerk. Why?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevyqeJlw4x
"That person who just called a jerk, is none other than my cousin, Leo."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqI1fnxVzt
"Oh," Angel paused for a second. "I didn't know. Sorry about that."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5zTqZYQzj
"No,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmbTtXrQh
he's a jerk, that's for sure. On that day he was supposed to get 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUA25Mbf6J
married. But he left the wedding and came by the bar looking for 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAigSXzb46
Carly."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jNBL9P7of
"A jerk indeed. Why did he come there anyway?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gpBjuUsNJ
"Well, he changed his mind completely after the bachelor party to get married."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHrWvd0Zc
"And he did all that just because of my sister? Ridiculous."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwJ4gGIiKY
"Coming1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5R1M8JDk
back to your accident," Eric now looked straight at Angel, "I'm afraid 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCC0p7ZlKs
to tell you that he was the one who ran you over."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1ohx2IbGa
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqomL4PLRe
didn't say anything. Eric expected her to burst in anger but she looked1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcoyPxpmsH
calm. Even her response seemed to surprise Eric even more.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFxm0JkRZ
"So, he almost kills me with his car and he hasn't come by just to apologise?" Angel asked calmly. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoXOBMDVCs
"I...1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPmnkXIYc
well," Eric was lost for words. He expected Angel to shout and act 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86BbNqKfar
wild, but she didn't. "He still feels bad after everything."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEnLetdJK
"He still feels bad or is he just too full of pride to apologise?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofwe45DvgZ
"How do you know that?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe94L4ltBg
"I spent five minutes in that office in the bar with your cousin, trust me, I know."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTP3SUO9Og
Eric1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyKJC77GmG
passed a hand through his hair and sighed. "On behalf of Leo, I simply 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE1MZXfFEn
apologise. I'm also part of the reason why you're in this mess."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkSha70Ap
"It's nothing, Eric. I would prefer if Leo bought himself to do that, don't you think?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x67YWQhiQ
"You're right."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vy0XNpnz
"I hope the person Carly has gone out to see by the lobby isn't him."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbemDjQCJW
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7XOqqeOwR
"But what is he doing here?" Angel asked.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1DCo9KBxW
"I'm1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf81FzYCID0
not the one supposed to be telling you this, but apparently, your 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQXD0GJCg
mother and my uncle were good friends. The time your mother had fallen 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOce81pS22L
ill, he was there and took her to the hospital."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltxj6XMqAT
Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNGqcsgLt2
didn't say anything as she continued to look at Eric. The thought of 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF42pJppp3i
her mother during her dying moments made Angel's heart break. She 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uckf0a2UH
wondered how much pain her mother must have gone through.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxKuTfLuzh
"Since you weren't talking, he decided to talk to Carly over some things."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Dm0QdoZT
"What things?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvdEC2GfhR
"I don't know," Eric shrugged his shoulders, "must be something about your mother."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc85awf6FW
Angel thought for a second. "Tell him to come in, I would like to speak with him."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVY4APE9ir
"You're sure?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0Ilu2IvD
"Of course, please do so, Eric."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIc1R4bRMf
Eric1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqiYqRSKLd
nodded and put her bowl of soup aside. He quickly rushed out of the 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgl0WBOi7f
door and he soon came back with Carly and a tall good looking man. By 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPUqYyBfJB
the look of his designer clothes, Angel could tell that he was one type 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7naUFXSAG2
of a person living the good life.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7dX94gZ5K
"Angel, Eric told me you can talk again," said Carly, "is that true?"1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TlVgu944F
"Yes, it's true," replied Angel trying to put up a smile for her sister, but even her cheeks wouldn't twitch. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIlsrFeaYl
"I'm1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGGsGwwixZ
so glad!" Carly ran over excitedly and hugged her sister. For a second 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIepZFOk4YB
Angel wanted to revolt and push her away, but that would seem rude in 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkKLagshHX
front of Eric and his uncle. And so she just had to put up with it.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ODuB8P9m
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRA9DFg1YE
"And I still feel like hitting you with a frying pan!" Angel1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q2RCTQlkU
finally pulled out a smile even when she knew it was completely fake. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb0rsfGOwp
Despite Carly taking care of her this past week, Angel still couldn't 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5am5efju
stand her sister after everything.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZcFNTRf8s
"It's fine, Carly," said Angel, finding it a little hard to speak. "Don't say such things, okay? All that is over now."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJodgMbELkT
"Sorry1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UMTJ0cT5k
to intervene on the little reunion," spoke Eric's uncle, "but I think 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJEc3lreh
we have more important things to discuss regarding your mother, Angel."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoj5dYbSbh
At1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkG1prQ426
last, someone had to bring up that point and Angel felt like breathing 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5Yw2IrfH
out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk to Carly anymore. And she 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pcC8RyBt
was starting to like this man already. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAxRujdfjj
"Yes, Eric told me who you were and that you were good friends with my mother," said Angel.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKC1TOqRe
"Yes, Eric told you right," said Mr McDonell, "I came here to give my deepest condolences."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6RBGAojfN
"Thank you."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEO5DwpXOC
"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."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HDENQJjsU
"No, don't worry about it. You aren't the only one who has apologised on his behalf." Angel stared at Eric.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi12ypt5He
"Well,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugDDpAeRM
putting that aside, I came to talk to you about the burial processions.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Xovy17fD
We didn't want to go ahead with the burial until you fully recovered. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8JGwAAbfv
And your mother, before she passed away, made me promise her something. 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1mUAt4F5n
And I hope that you'll agree to it. I already talked to Carly about it 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKh6LzjfA
and she agreed, but the final consent is yours to make."1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARX4hEmPyi
"I hope you agree to it,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mam0zJzrh
Angel," said Carly. That almost made Angel want to slap her mouth as 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1UahsSblf
she stared at her sister who stared back with hopeful eyes.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa7gM29rL2
Angel turned to face Mr 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ApgGT6WE
McDonell who was staring calmy at her. Eric stood right beside him and 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJDZILUrGs
he too looked on eagerly, hoping that Angel would agree to what's 1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAH7zBRpfg
coming.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVpLCUHPGx
"Okay, what is it my mother promised you to do?" Angel asked.
