Rich People Problems-Kwan 2017 (WWT)

this was happening. After all this time, with all the medical advances we’ve made, the
human body is still an unfathomable mystery to us. The heart most of all.

Youngest Daughter
I was in the library with Fiona and Kalliste, showing Kalliste my Enid Blyton first
editions, when the dogs started howling. It must have been around half past three in the
afternoon. It wasn’t just our pack of Alsatians that patrol the grounds, but it seemed like
every dog within a two-mile radius was making restless, high-pitched yelps. I gave Fiona a
look and she knew exactly what I was thinking. She left the library without a word and
went upstairs to check on Mummy. By now the howling had stopped, but I remember
feeling enveloped by a sense of dread. My heart was beating a mile a minute, and I kept
staring at the door. I was somehow willing Fiona to not come back through those doors. I
didn’t want to hear any bad news. I was trying to focus on Kalliste, who wanted to know if
she could have the entire Malory Towers series—they were her favorites too when she

so foolish of me not to.) At first, Deep Throat simply said, “Boh liao.” * I said, “What do
you mean boh liao?” Deep Throat was overly excited, but she managed to get it out: “Su Yi
just died. Big fight upstairs right now. I must go.” So of course the first thing I did was call
my father. I said, “Are you at Tyersall Park?” He said, “Er, no.” I think I caught him at his
mistress’s apartment—he was very out of breath. So I said, “You better head over there
now. Something just happened to your sister.”

Distant Cousin
Great-uncle Alfred called me. I think he was on his way to Tyersall Park. He said to tell
everyone on my side of the family that Su Yi had just passed. But he didn’t want any of us
