"You have maintained the car well lt`s been more than ten years" "But I think it still has a few more years left in it lt will probably last another ten years under your care" "How are your studies coming along?" "Not too bad" "Your Mum`s been boasting about you becoming a doctor" "There`s still quite a few years to go!" "You had better buck up" "Your Mum`s neck is growing longer from waiting" "Then I`d better switch to veterinary so I can treat her lf you do that, you will be the death of her" "Lucy!" "Yes!" "Your friends are here!" "lt`s been too long!" "Let`s go in, Lucy is waiting for you" "Sunny!" "Watch out, watch out!" "I am back to celebrate your eightieth birthday!"

"There was nothing in the cake I baked it with my own hands" "No one saw anything" "The doctor said her head`s fine" "Could she be on drugs?" "That`s impossible!" "Lucy will never do that" "Let me talk to her" "Even you don`t believe me?" "I believe you" "I really saw the maggots I am not going crazy" "Have you been overworked recently, or not sleeping well?"

"Are you listening to me?" "Teenagers are like that" "She has really been acting strange lately" "Something`s wrong" "What are you saying?" "Aren`t you overreacting?" "She has been like a thorn in your heart all this time" "But we are fine now, unlike in the past" "What else do you want from me?" "She has everything she wants" "Tuition, birthday parties..." "We even send and fetch her from school lsn`t that enough?" "She needs our care and love" "Are you saying I don`t care enough for her?" "All these years, have you cared about how I feel?" "Every time I look at her, I see that bastard!" "What else do you want from me" "Have some herbal tea" "Trying to curb my temper?" "l`m sorry I should be the one apologising" "What are you doing!" "Stop!" "Leave me alone!" "I will kill myself right here ifyou harm her!" "Put the knife down!" "Please don`t harm her, she`s innocent!" "I must get rid of this bastard child!" "Please don`t do this, it is not her fault!" "Let go ofthe knife!" "Promise me that you will love her!" "Let go ofthe knife!" "I will kill myself ifyou ever try to harm her!"

"You must promise me" "What`s past is past" "I will be helping out at the childcare today" "Ok, l`ll pick you up after I pick Lucy from tuition l`m...not going for tuition" "Why?" "I don`t feel like it" "You know very well how poor your maths is" "Why must I be good at everything?" "So that you can study medicine, like your brother!" "I don`t want to study medicine!" "What did you just say?" "You must!" "Look at all that we have done for you!" "I never asked you to!" "Stand there!" "Look at yourself!" "What`s wrong with you lately!" "I`m bringing you to a psychiatrist" "Go see one yourself!" "You never wanted me or loved me!" "I will go see how Sis is" "Get lost!" "I am not going to study medicine!" "Go away!" "What`re you doing?" "Practising martial arts?" "Have I gone crazy?" "Is something wrong with me?" "No, not at all, why would you go crazy all of a sudden?" "But Mum thinks I am crazy!" "She wants me to see a psychiatrist" "You`ll be fine I don`t want to see a psychiatrist" "Everyone will think I`m really crazy" "When my teacher revealed that a classmate was on medication" "Everyone avoided her lt`s not that serious" "The checkup is just to ease Mum`s concerns" "Relax" "I didn`t mean to hit you" "I know..." "I didn`t mean to say those things too" "Lucy Chan, you`re next" "You`re next" "Do you hear voices in your head?" "No" "Do you think you have been behaving abnormally?" "No" "But some strange events have happened recently, haven`t they?" "Yes" "Have these events been bothering you?" "I see what others can`t see" "No one believes me when I tell them so" "Not even my Mum" "Doctor, do you believe me?" "These events must seem very real to you" "Your daughter may have some hallucinations but it isn`t schizophrenia" "Let`s review the results in a week after Lucy tries out the medication" "Kumi!" "Maybe he`s not feeling well" "Kumi!" "Kumi!" "Kumi!" "Kumi!" "Why did you let Kumi run out?" "You skipped dinner, here, drink this Ovaltine" "Poor Kumi" "Don`t blame Dad, he didn`t do it on purpose" "If something happened to me, will you come save me?" "Of course" "What about Dad?" "Of course he will!" "Why do you ask?" "I overheard your conversation" "You think we didn`t want you?" "You know we would never do that" "But I heard you both" "We were very poor then and Sunny was only five" "Somedays we could barely afford a meal" "Then Grandad fell ill" "We had to send all our money back for his operation" "And I became pregnant with you" "But we really couldn`t afford another child" "So I performed a self-abortion like how I had seen it done in the village" "But the abortion failed and I had you I have loved you since" "But Dad doesn`t" "Dad loves you too he just doesn`t know how to show it lt`s the truth, believe me" "Life was really hard then l`m sorry" "I told Lucy" "What about?" "The abortion" "Why?" "She overheard our conversation, she thinks we didn`t want her" "Did you tell her about the other matter too?" "No, of course not!" "Never" "She doesn`t need to know that" "Hey miss!" "What`s the hurry, why don`t you pour our drinks first" "More for me" "Slowly, there`s no rush" "More, more, more!" "Thank you" "Miss, you`re quite pretty, aren`t you?" "Enjoy your drinks" "What do you want?" "Come!" "Sit!" "Sit!" "Get out!" "Alright" "Please don`t, I can`t drink I am asking you to drink" "No!" "Please, don`t" "Give it to me!" "I will be fast!" "Stay still, don`t move" "Don`t move!" "Hey, what do you want?" "Do you need to clean up the room?" "No, get lost" "Let`s go to the police" "Then the whole world will know!" "So we just ignore it?" "Even ifwe go to the police, he will be out in a few years" "They won`t let me abort it" "Why?" "lt`s already four months, the doctor says it`s too dangerous I killed the bastard!" "What if I get arrested?" "l`ll be fine l`ll wait for your release" "l`ll wait for you" "Hey, we can go" "What`s the hurry?" "This is delicious!" "The sausages are great!" "See how nicely my wings are doing!" "What`s wrong, Sis?" "What`s wrong?" "Lucy!" "Mum, at the park today" "Lucy was terrified and screaming" "She was really frightened" "Do you think... that it could be..." "What is it?" "lt`s nothing...nothing" "The swelling seems to have gone down" "Yes it has. ls it still painful" "Yes lt won`t hurt after a few days" "Ok" "Sorry!" "Let me do it" "Pardon my clumsiness" "Lately, you seemed very bothered" "A close friend of mine is an exorcist" "Perhaps she can help you" "Maggots represent decay" "Has she been to any wakes or funerals lately?" "No" "What about the cemetery?" "No" "Go back and bring me some things... ls this enough?" "More than enough" "This is her favourite doll I got it for her on her eighth birthday" "What are you doing here?" "Kumi died a terrible death" "How is it?" "There`s nothing suspicious" "Nothing at all?" "Nothing at all" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "Thank you so much!" "What do you want?" "Lucy, open the door!" "Get a hammer!" "Help!" "Help!" "Save me!" "Help!" "Save me!" "What`s going on?" "lt`s Dad!" "Help me!" "What`s wrong?" "What happened?" "l`ll get ice!" "Are you alright?" "Lucy was standing at the door earlier!" "Are you mistaken?" "Of course not!" "She seemed like she was possessed!" "Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Here`s the ice l`ll find Lucy" "Bear with it" "Sis?" "Sis!" "Sis?" "Sis!" "What`s the matter?" "Dad got scalded" "Get on" "l`ve given him some painkillers" "He has second degree burns" "They cover a large area, so recovery time will be longer" "Thank you, doctor" "Sis" "Dad said you were standing by the bathroom door, were you?" "It wasn`t me" "Then where were you?" "I was in my room" "Didn`t you hear Dad calling for you?" "Did you not hear him?" "I was listening to music" "Mummy, let me help you" "Sunny, let me help you clean your room" "Really?" "But you won`t get paid, you know?" "Yes, Doctor Sunny!" "There`s nothing suspicious" "Nothing at all" "Lucy!" "What happened?" "What`s wrong?" "Don`t be afraid" "So it was just your hormones creating havoc" "Now that your period is here, everything will be fine l`ll wash everything, you`ll be fine" "Retribution lt must be retribution" "No lt`s not retribution" "You don`t know anything I know I have known since I was little" "You killed that bastard, didn`t you?" "Ming!" "Why is there so much blood?" "How dare you touch my wife!" "Did anyone see you?" "I don`t think so" "Dad, don`t blame yourself I would have done the same!" "That bastard deserved to die, so there shouldn`t be any retribution for killing him!" "I raised the bastard`s child all these years" "Just look at me now!" "How can this not be retribution?" "Dad, its not Sis` fault" "She loves you and Mum very much" "Something else is causing her strange behaviour, some other spirits" "What`s most important now is for you to get well" "Just get well quickly" "Mum!" "What are you cooking?" "l`m cooking porridge for Dad" "Mum!" "It needs disinfecting" "l`m relieved that you still have your appetite" "That bastard is back for revenge and has possessed her body lt`s been so many years" "It has nothing to do with Lucy" "That`s it, l`m getting discharged right now" "No, you mustn`t" "You still have a surgery to get through" "Don`t worry, Sunny and I will handle everything" "Don`t worry" "Have a little more" "Mum!" "I want to show you something" "What is it?" "I hid a camera in Lucy`s bedroom" "You spied on her?" "l`m worried, I want to know what`s wrong with her" "How can this be!" "She`s..." "The nails and hair that you gave me must not belong to your daughter!" "What shall we do now?" "I beg of you, please save my sister!" "She is after your Mum`s blood" "Set up an altar immediately" "There`s no time to lose" "Sunny, Mum!" "You`re back" "Yes" "What`s inside the bag?" "Just sundries" "These incense ash and charms will protect you and help to overcome the spirit" "Hey Sis, let`s go visit Dad" "Once you reach home, get your sister out of the house" "She mustn`t know what we are doing" "Let me get my things" "If anything happens to me, please take care of your sister" "Lucy!" "Take care" "Let`s go" "Hello?" "She has left" "Let me know once your daughter leaves the house I will rush over immediately" "To save time, follow my instructions and set up the altar in your daughter's room" "Will Dad not want to see me?" "No" "But you know his temper he will calm down in a few days" "It truly wasn`t me I believe you" "You are the only one who believes me" "I know I haven`t been sincere I don`t usually pray" "But ifyou can hear me" "Please save my daughter" "She has done no wrong I am the one who erred I shouldn`t have brought her into this world" "Sir, can you drive faster?" "I am in a hurry" "Ok" "Thank you!" "Dad!" "Dad, here`s a card for you!" "Dad, Sis chose the card herself" "I know who you are" "You raped my wife fifteen years ago..." "Are you back to get me?" "What`re you doing!" "Let go!" "Help!" "No Dad!" "Help!" "Please relax and stay calm!" "Please leave now, please go!" "Why did Dad strangle me?" "He said someone`s back from fifteen years ago" "Who is it?" "What did he say?" "What does it mean?" "Let`s hurry home to find Mum!" "What`s this?" "The blood from the abortion" "Why are you keeping it?" "I wanted to bury it properly" "But the abortion failed" "Let me bury it" "Who`s there?" "Enough, I am telling you!" "What do you want?" "Stop bothering us!" "Who are you?" "Why are you doing this to us?" "Why?" "Why are you doing this to me?" "Who are you?"
