"Are you able to do it now?"

Diallo rested on a high back chair, a cup of tea in his hands as he gazed at the woman staring back at him. 'You were poisoned.'

"Are you able to?"

'I hear the woman who was supposed to give birth to a girl ran away?'

Liu Ling turned to Fae and spoke for the first time in ten days. 'Will there ever be such a day?'
