他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2FVItBal

看著她因嚴寒而打顫，看著她為取暖而不斷劃下火柴，看著她對著火光傻傻發笑，看著她的微笑僵住，看著她一動也不動。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jimbd84gX

他潛步走近，確認她停止呼吸後，俐落地將那小小的遺體放入大布袋裡，匆匆前往諾克斯醫生的辦公室。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYi7pIGgdg
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaCWQBda4
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyJOwX6OKx
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZl71E6887
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl9UqUEA0u
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Oz3pfVRH
諾克斯醫生還是認為這貨不值一個好價錢：「如果你真的那麼缺錢，可以帶走她的財物賣掉。」365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNSGQbpOXg

他沒奈何，但只得接受。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQuvsmuYP0
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iZ8H3Wvqs
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯醫生的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG4FJraX5B

無人生來就是壞傢伙。若非一貧如洗，他決不幹此缺德非法勾當！365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0MHSA5OWX

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwnpWuuQE
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLXIHuYe9R
肅殺街景和溫暖的辦公室形成強烈對比，他一下子接受不來、反應不了，愣在原地倍感悲悽。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeKkxxhEam

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1mVGcjR83
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVVPHibf8c
他上前一把擁兒子入懷，多麼希望剛才含笑離世的不是小女孩，而是懷中親兒。365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufRSUljYgs
