"Same old." He sighed which brought out with it hot steam from the stew. "The new medicines the apothecary prescribed did help her sleep for the night but she developed the coughing fit and pains once anew in the morning. Things aren't looking too well for her now, according to the physician. Though I really hope she'll get better soon."

[Excerpt:]
"Come out. I want to talk."
It was a full minute before the ghost decided to walk through the wall and came to stand in the middle of the room, right over her death spot.
She didn't say anything for the longest of whiles and Xiajun had started to worry that Zhaohui would return, so he decided to initiate conversation.
"Your name is," Xiajun remembered from the file he had read, "Miss Zeng Suyin?"
The ghost nodded and stared wide-eyed at Xiajun. "Y-you can see me?"
Her voice was a hoarse whisper, one that suited the dead.
Xiajun tried to hide the shiver that went down his spine.
"I can. In fact, I may be the only one to do so. My confrere will be back any moment now, so we must get this done with. There are some questions I'd like to ask you," Xiajun said as he pulled a pad and a pen out of his pant pocket. Miss Suyin remained silent.
"First of all," he said as he glanced over the ghost of the woman once, "who killed you?"

>Short Excerpt:
She brought her face up close to mine, only leaving an inch or two to spare.
My eyes widened as I got an up close view of her iced ones. My, they were absolutely gorgeous.
Your Highness, you know, don't you?
I furrowed my eyebrows, suddenly uncomfortable in her presence.
"You know, right?" she repeated, holding my gaze. "You are aware of the tragedy that is yet to befall you, aren't you?
In a year's time, you'll be dead. You'll die, do you get that? You'll be sacrificed to your ancestors’ so-called 'God'."
