I pretended to be stupid

Madame...

If I die, will I go to hell?

Why didn't you seek help from social workers?

Social workers?

Don't know

Have you ever collect social welfare?

No

How come you accept guys to treat you like this?

Nothing really

Everything is okay after

a man have his way with sex

Only if you don't say a word, don't resist...

You won't get into trouble

No one will beat you

Your father will feed you.

No need to suffer from hunger

Guys from outside are even worse

You should stay home, that's better

Be good and no one will beat you

This is good

In fact, if you shut your eyes,

it'll be over in a flash!

What can I do?

I don't know.

What you did is absolutely a big mistake

Do you believe in Budda?

Dunno

No idea

The Budda says if you don't

solve your problem in this life

This problem will follow you to the next life

You don't correct your mistake in this life

You'll make the same mistake and

continue suffering in the next life

For sure you'll be in jail

Maybe you can think it over what you've done

Maybe you can understand more

Heiyi is dead,

there's no way she can come back to life.

Yet you can reform yourself

after correcting your mistake

Is it useful?

Not sure, but better than not doing anything

You think it over

Madame, you still haven't answered me

When bad people die

will they go to hell?

Hell? I don't know

I don't even know where I'm right now

Katty, are you tired?

Keeps on yawning

A little bit

Already four-thirty?

Yes

Sorry for keeping you so late

Let's chat sometime later

Time to leave Okay, bye

Bye

Bye

Hello, Eric?

Yes Who's speaking?

I'm Josephine Wong. How're you?

Josephine? What's up?

I just want to ask for a small favor

What's that?

I know it's kinda redundant

to inform you this early

Yet I'd like to keep you post

Okay

A criminal,

Becky Lee will serve her terms at your site

I'd like you to instruct

your colleagues to take care of her

We don't have any relationship.

You don't have to give her any privileges

What I mean is...

if someone bullies her seriously,

please help and protect her

Okay, I know what I should do

Thanks, Eric, let's play tennis sometimes?

Sure

Okay, see you later

Bye

Joey?

Mama, is there anything you called me?

I just wanna hear your voice

Wanna hear my voice?

Mama, are you okay?

I miss you

In class?

No, just off class

Are you coming back for dinner tonight?

Yes What about you?

Me too. What do you wanna eat?

Anything, take out again?

Or you want me to cook?

Yes You haven't cook for me in a long time

I need to go to the market

Miss, what do you want?

I want crabs, black beans crabs

Good and... what's next?

Let me think about it
