2157年9月8日,下午四點,商業中心B區,咆哮飯店629Please respect copyright.PENANAg7yn0SWnUB
629Please respect copyright.PENANAuKyPB1YGiY
629Please respect copyright.PENANAbawyofCLHt
搭電車遇到紅鶴,還被群眾趕下車,尼可拉斯滿肚子髒話,腳卻聽話地走向咆哮飯店,來到飯店大廳。629Please respect copyright.PENANAZy0WC0E9TN
629Please respect copyright.PENANAutDBed0Saq
派翠克.雷蒙──尼可拉斯聽過這名字。十大家族第八的雷蒙一家,壟斷時尚娛樂產業,家族成員不論男女老少,都在追求「美」,是專出俊男美女的家族;但全世界都知道,雷蒙一家的人一到成年,就會動刀,臉蛋和身材都是「做」出來的。629Please respect copyright.PENANAglaBJQbc1h
629Please respect copyright.PENANA8k06xx82Iv
但派翠克不是。629Please respect copyright.PENANAjtFQyTtgs2
629Please respect copyright.PENANAYDuepyogMc
尼可拉斯耳聞,派翠克有張極其美麗的容顏,沒有人能抗拒他的笑容,看過的各個魂不守捨、寤寐思之;因此,派翠克被保護得很好,大家都不知道雷蒙一家有這個小孩,名聲是最近幾年才被公開的。629Please respect copyright.PENANAXLwkdkwlfO
629Please respect copyright.PENANAMMXrLUlT02
尼可拉斯向來對「顏值」無感。從醫學的角度,臉就是一堆肌肉和脂肪,真正讓他驚豔的只有紅鶴;然而,現在的尼可拉斯欣賞紅鶴的臉,只能看到恨意。629Please respect copyright.PENANArMkHghFUAS
629Please respect copyright.PENANAsxz7x5SKBl
因此,對於派翠克.雷蒙,尼可拉斯不抱任何期望。紅鶴要殺派翠克,證明他可能是天賦擁有者,奇怪的是,不能被里奧和葛蕾絲發現。629Please respect copyright.PENANAfhDV3ApL5v
629Please respect copyright.PENANAlxgMuocDo5
既然「他能解答你所有疑問」,派翠克就是掌握真相的關鍵,尼可拉斯不能放過,見死不救也不是醫生的風格。629Please respect copyright.PENANAEN6esY6ush
629Please respect copyright.PENANAVKbpTAVLft
站在狹長的白色大廳,兩邊金色的雕花與紅色家具相互對稱。尼可拉斯思考:該用什麼理由去派翠克的805號房?他不想和王子殿下周遭的護衛打起來……大不了叫他們全部自殺,但尼可拉斯不想殺人,應該有更好的辦法。629Please respect copyright.PENANAHENvWv8hBh
629Please respect copyright.PENANArj8Rv9o0Mg
「嗯?」629Please respect copyright.PENANADs5TR2dK3A
629Please respect copyright.PENANAKg2ZUHmIHU
眼角餘光瞄到一抹白色,大廳走來一名身穿醫師袍的人。尼可拉斯認得他,那是希波克拉底一脈有名的內科醫生──達米安.帕潘德里歐(Damian Papandreou)。達米安的論文寫得不錯、醫術也高,但他會挑病人,只幫十大家族看病,是尼可拉斯最看不起的那種醫生。如今這傢伙來咆哮飯店,說不定是雷蒙一家請來給派翠克看病的,尼可拉斯不能放過這大好機會。629Please respect copyright.PENANAaHos5fGZCg
629Please respect copyright.PENANAXnZvAioQO8
「您好,我的病患在805號房。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAElY5zyLpdS
629Please respect copyright.PENANAnIiJzlGF9O
「電梯在您的右手邊,穿過那條走廊就到了。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAR8LYh8v48t
629Please respect copyright.PENANA7LtrnsMJfX
達米安果然衝著派翠克來。尼可拉斯拿出一頂黑色貝雷帽、蓋住自己銀白色的頭髮,並把大衣的領子拉高。確認達米安認不出自己,他小心翼翼地跟蹤過去。629Please respect copyright.PENANAmE7eXMn5xw
629Please respect copyright.PENANAORc0Fd2woH
達米安四十歲,有個賢慧的老婆和可愛的女兒,是典型的社會成功人士,可惜今天的他有點倒楣。才剛抵達八樓、腳踏出電梯的那一剎那,一個針筒便朝達米安的脖子刺來,被注射不明液體。629Please respect copyright.PENANAi4XiOmXXAW
629Please respect copyright.PENANACc0ZJGAkM1
「……!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAkHAVc3sQUU
629Please respect copyright.PENANAF2U09VxbN1
達米安來不及叫,整個人便倒到地上、失去意識。趁四下無人,尼可拉斯將昏倒的達米安拖到掃具間,再將自己身上的耳環和唇環摘掉,衣領拉高,遮住脖子上的刺青。629Please respect copyright.PENANAai1HaULW3o
629Please respect copyright.PENANAdT4tsboaGc
被注射尼可拉斯的「特調」,達米安24小時內不會醒來,收到通知的李博洋也會用白色空間把人帶走。走出掃具間時,尼可拉斯已經披著達米安的白袍,若無其事地往805號房走去。629Please respect copyright.PENANA1v5hMRz3cw
629Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4X8LtAkCM
以為805號房附近有很多警衛,卻什麼都沒有,彷彿這裡住著無足輕重的人,讓尼可拉斯省去不少麻煩,於是他敲門。629Please respect copyright.PENANATCRdMfcBfz
629Please respect copyright.PENANAiaDTaveEBV
「派翠克少爺,我是希波克拉底的達米安。」尼可拉斯不知道派翠克有沒有見過達米安,只能賭一把,「我受委託,前來關心您的身體狀況,麻煩您開門。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAK5wHaku5h0
629Please respect copyright.PENANADfTACndaT4
「……。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAwKdmMlyb4o
629Please respect copyright.PENANAFKeQsBGR7L
安靜了好久,805號房才開啟一個縫,一雙藍色的眼睛從房門後探出。對方盯著尼可拉斯,看了很久、很久,久到尼可拉斯以為要被識破時,房門終於敞開。一名藍色長髮的纖細男子出現在尼可拉斯眼前,身上穿著一件不對稱襯衫,一半是黃色,另一半是紫色。629Please respect copyright.PENANAhK4gPDSkzp
629Please respect copyright.PENANA1hzsfraBI7
「……!?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAsOYkND7nUJ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAIOxtjFb28g
那一瞬間,尼可拉斯差點叫出聲來。要不是頭髮顏色,他真以為自己又看到紅鶴。629Please respect copyright.PENANAN8cKDPeLcm
629Please respect copyright.PENANAg0mZr8XCZA
629Please respect copyright.PENANAB5nW24UcrX
派翠克和紅鶴長得一模一樣。629Please respect copyright.PENANAYr1ok2bbEk
629Please respect copyright.PENANAhX0PWeZKUc
629Please respect copyright.PENANAzuW7X4yBzc
「……請進。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAwfUKL9gpfO
629Please respect copyright.PENANAshMm6j5Blt
派翠克面無表情,沒發現尼可拉斯內心的驚恐,默默走回房間。629Please respect copyright.PENANAIn7USQYZtq
629Please respect copyright.PENANAVYw09ccU4G
尼可拉斯吞口水。兩個沒有血緣關係的人,五官和身形卻一模一樣,這樣的機率有多少?只是巧合?紅鶴知不知道這件事?629Please respect copyright.PENANAD7hMS8AaRm
629Please respect copyright.PENANAMGDrMmiw1W
一堆問號閃過尼可拉斯腦中。當他假裝鎮定地走進房、來到客廳時,派翠克正站在水晶吊燈的下方,睫毛垂在藍色的雙眼前,無辜地看著尼可拉斯。629Please respect copyright.PENANAnPpd3ScEde
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfMBn66w2u7
「怎麼了?」被這樣看著,尼可拉斯有點心神不寧。629Please respect copyright.PENANAIEhnBiUZe6
629Please respect copyright.PENANAzYxDk1GdBq
「我第一次看到這種髮色。」派翠克問:「怎麼染的?」629Please respect copyright.PENANADRxkA1PprX
629Please respect copyright.PENANAKz5Mde4Md1
「不瞞您說,這是遺傳。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAnqMMMfgNVo
629Please respect copyright.PENANATF0gkSbZTk
「遺傳?」派翠克睜大眼,「真好,是很漂亮的銀白色。」629Please respect copyright.PENANA1892d0FAGX
629Please respect copyright.PENANA36DaZ8pflV
「少爺過獎了。」尼可拉斯微笑,「您的藍色頭髮也很漂亮。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAenQxUSMDhN
629Please respect copyright.PENANAptCymtzfQe
「我這是染的……嗯,算染的吧。」派翠克欲言又止,立刻換話題:「醫生怎麼稱呼?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAux717fOmpZ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6PmwU80Id
「達米安.帕潘德里歐。」尼可拉斯覺得這名字好難念。629Please respect copyright.PENANAa9VIWdpeyk
629Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fu0m1TWw1
「幸會,帕潘德里歐醫師。」派翠克走到茶几旁,「要來杯咖啡嗎?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAGP21GUjeH6
629Please respect copyright.PENANAvsUfp8gnt5
「麻煩您了,謝謝。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAb2sPZzHUTn
629Please respect copyright.PENANARSEh2sVkYb
語畢,派翠克走去操作咖啡機。尼可拉斯鬆口氣,看來派翠克沒見過達米安,而且,同樣是少爺,派翠克沒有李醜男機車,給人的感覺很乖,口氣也很溫和,希望不是麻煩人物。629Please respect copyright.PENANAxjseuUCDdJ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAwqjZhg9eN9
「需要糖或牛奶嗎?」派翠克突然問。629Please respect copyright.PENANAynCa86o0AZ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAbq7awUSNaJ
「都不用,謝謝。」629Please respect copyright.PENANArQsaHiyJRg
629Please respect copyright.PENANATRcrtM2X45
坐到沙發、接過派翠克遞來的咖啡時,他發現派翠克也給自己泡了一杯,但派翠克始終捧著杯子,一口也沒喝地看著尼可拉斯,好像在等他說什麼、卻又沒等到,索性自己開口:「醫生。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAx586jhQ9cx
629Please respect copyright.PENANA0TxwlpbGbh
「……?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAvX08PLXvTH
629Please respect copyright.PENANAJux46vDuQj
「我以為,你喜歡加很多牛奶的咖啡。」派翠克閉上眼睛,「不過,人的口味總會變,何況醫生工作辛苦,喝黑咖啡也不奇怪,不是嗎?」629Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y5USYwrkR
629Please respect copyright.PENANAsWzUqVgpSn
尼可拉斯愣住。派翠克的眼睛緩緩張開,光芒從那雙清澈的藍色裡消失。629Please respect copyright.PENANAPTxeOuIydq
629Please respect copyright.PENANAbFLXyKqRJT
629Please respect copyright.PENANAl9SEK1fvfr
「醫生,如果你是我家派來的,怎麼還不阻止我?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAlIVmEj6x4e
629Please respect copyright.PENANAtpGvcIrgQt
「我,對咖啡因嚴重過敏啊。」629Please respect copyright.PENANA3LOyQ4ouaG
629Please respect copyright.PENANAeyuIV0BGV4
629Please respect copyright.PENANA9qFpB802Ps
話落,派翠克鬆手──咖啡杯「框啷!」碎落在地,尼可拉斯被派翠克壓在沙發上。派翠克跨坐在尼可拉斯的肚子,手裡拿著小刀,捲起左手的袖子。629Please respect copyright.PENANAlRl3vAPAkB
629Please respect copyright.PENANAB9LbfHGEMY
「……!?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAFYNpq5BsHw
629Please respect copyright.PENANAJW3yW4ArQF
尼可拉斯大驚,派翠克的左手臂佈滿大大小小的疤痕。派翠克用小刀割破手指,笑容詭異,一滴濃稠的紫色液體從他體內滴出,尼可拉斯的衣服竟被腐蝕出一個大洞──他頓時明白派翠克的「天賦」。629Please respect copyright.PENANAK4AWtmase5
629Please respect copyright.PENANAhPrfv2jPF6
「誰派你來的?」派翠克陰沉地說:「那個髮色,是懷特吧?誰告訴高宇維的?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAQhx9TdDxQc
629Please respect copyright.PENANAYyVHgVgaBG
「喂!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAHcQKYcW4LE
629Please respect copyright.PENANAPJDVZoKnBw
尼可拉斯很緊張,不是怕派翠克,而是派翠克正用刀瞄準自己的臉,一副要把自己毀容的氣勢。629Please respect copyright.PENANA1K4LWVXohJ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAS7IS5P2WeO
「反正,我也受夠這張臉了。」派翠克冷笑,「你也看到了。放心,我會把它毀掉,那些噁心的血也會流出來,你是最後一個看到這張臉的人。帶一個懷特下地獄的感覺不錯。呵呵,呵呵呵。」629Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zf62LXMui
629Please respect copyright.PENANASRLORqJOIN
派翠克的臉矇上一層陰影。尼可拉斯收回之前的想法,這傢伙一點也不正常!腦子很有問題!629Please respect copyright.PENANAvbvAW1ryy9
629Please respect copyright.PENANAMc2khOT0YA
「喂,你冷靜!」629Please respect copyright.PENANApm5WdJXWRq
629Please respect copyright.PENANAaF7OZFtobE
尼可拉斯不演有禮貌的醫生了,用平常的口吻說:「我不是達米安.帕潘德里歐,但我確實是希波克拉底,不是高宇維的人!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAuPhMCheQSV
629Please respect copyright.PENANAe8lSolfKK1
「你喜歡這張臉嗎?」派翠克根本沒在聽,「你覺得,我這張臉好看嗎?」629Please respect copyright.PENANATKqMQGwOSP
629Please respect copyright.PENANAgSdogzBmEQ
「喂!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAhr244I7saQ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAx05XoYiRtz
「如果你喜歡,趁現在多看一點。」派翠克舉起刀,「用你最後的生命記住它,你會死得很幸福……唔!」629Please respect copyright.PENANA2FaJaHYfW0
629Please respect copyright.PENANAGRQeyDYyql
派翠克悶哼。下一秒,他的小刀掉到地上、攻守交換,換派翠克被壓在沙發,雙手被制伏在兩側,整個人壟罩在尼可拉斯的影子中。629Please respect copyright.PENANAoQmn1PUFQn
629Please respect copyright.PENANA0Igj1mFVne
「……!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAISjRgNb9N3
629Please respect copyright.PENANADjyr3AdbuD
恢復神智,派翠克對上尼可拉斯那雙可怕的眼睛,好像一隻野獸準備殺人。剛才的動作讓尼可拉斯的領口被拉開、露出裡面的黑蛇刺青,派翠克這才意識到,眼前的人不是普通醫生,嚇得他動彈不得。629Please respect copyright.PENANAOsMx5na5gd
629Please respect copyright.PENANAj7XvuHRuOh
「X的,用這種方式才肯聽話。」629Please respect copyright.PENANALIgqeLnXNH
629Please respect copyright.PENANAwupLcPUJ0L
尼可拉斯直接爆粗口,本性完全顯露出來。629Please respect copyright.PENANApB78BLA7Dt
629Please respect copyright.PENANA592WkHdeSb
「刀子不可以對著自己。以後不准再這樣了,知不知道?」629Please respect copyright.PENANACHjq0QfpV8
629Please respect copyright.PENANACGtejretp2
派翠克被嚇到不敢說話,尼可拉斯爆青筋,「知、不、知、道!?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAUzY0Yc4E9s
629Please respect copyright.PENANAtZpERi5f2K
「是…是!對不起!!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAqw4RnIBiEu
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfytQ1EFdug
派翠克竟然被嚇哭。尼可拉斯離開沙發、沒收地上的刀子。他放下剛才梳整齊的頭髮、脫掉達米安的醫師袍,再把大大小小的環戴回身上,變回平常的尼可拉斯。629Please respect copyright.PENANAiHQxcNN03V
629Please respect copyright.PENANAPm76w2yRiC
「手。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAqtsJCImxCy
629Please respect copyright.PENANA9LawuMrc7N
尼可拉斯走到派翠克面前。還在哭的派翠克一臉疑惑,伸出右手。629Please respect copyright.PENANATKUjoX9zHF
629Please respect copyright.PENANAzFVTRezAIB
「你給醫生沒受傷的手幹嘛!」耐心用完的尼可拉斯爆氣,「左手給我!」629Please respect copyright.PENANARfbWR5GRrx
629Please respect copyright.PENANAXX4ZiRDOdy
「對…對不起!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAhYDxK1nM1y
629Please respect copyright.PENANATKaFGdFxMJ
派翠克被嚇得不清,聽話照做。聽說動物一旦認定對方比自己可怕,就會永遠記住害怕的感覺,派翠克現在的情形就是這樣,和剛才判若兩人。629Please respect copyright.PENANABggzg1Nyzf
629Please respect copyright.PENANAMGG6CMuqdg
尼可拉斯不管那麼多,他現在的目光都在派翠克的左手。他拿出達米安的醫藥箱,幫派翠克的左手擦藥、包紮,動作出乎意料地溫柔,和他兇惡的外表形成反差。629Please respect copyright.PENANAKwdOZBN3J3
629Please respect copyright.PENANAeYTRYb7lVq
「……?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAQyKe17e2UZ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAEVR0iLMxyB
派翠克大大的眼睛,看著正在處理傷口的尼可拉斯。這位「醫生」跟他想像中不同,也不敢相信剛才的姿勢,尼可拉斯能心平氣和地幫他擦藥。派翠克竟然問他:「你怎麼沒有抱我?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAHXm4MvknyJ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAWgRiQpe3sH
「哈?」尼可拉斯忍住用棉花棒插他眼睛的衝動,「我為什麼要抱你?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAsYF5wSvN2t
629Please respect copyright.PENANAzOMLlS1sUS
「你看到我的臉了,剛才你明明可以……痛痛痛痛痛!」629Please respect copyright.PENANAHAim2voaNo
629Please respect copyright.PENANAEZe7FLkCBV
不知道是不是尼可拉斯故意,派翠克感覺傷口被用力戳了一下。629Please respect copyright.PENANAUe5licbyrX
629Please respect copyright.PENANATOaEILT8ds
「不顧他人意願就硬上,我才不是這種禽獸。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAtr5cdjBKSl
629Please respect copyright.PENANAGJDHc3g2Wq
尼可拉斯想吐槽,卻也能理解,畢竟自己曾對紅鶴產生遐想;而且,比起危險的紅鶴,派翠克總垂著眼、楚楚可憐、毫無攻擊性(剛才不算),這種美人確實很難抗拒。629Please respect copyright.PENANAkr39nhhfTw
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfC7HXVxOmd
「人臉在我眼裡,都是肌肉和脂肪。」尼可拉斯說:「而且,我覺得自己比較好看。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAZaw1Bj7VBz
629Please respect copyright.PENANAMeE7ycr31c
尼可拉斯的口氣像在說「我今天中午吃牛肉麵」一樣平常,但聽在派翠克耳裡,很是吃驚。629Please respect copyright.PENANA8YaKKZdtUZ
629Please respect copyright.PENANApUfTRUuxEa
「你叫什麼名字?」629Please respect copyright.PENANA2sIwxM45mq
629Please respect copyright.PENANAhZWiUiXR1r
派翠克看著尼可拉斯。和自己不同,尼可拉斯很高,肩膀很寬,臉型就像被刀子削過,舉手投足都充滿剛硬的男性魅力。他突然對眼前這名醫生感到好奇,迫切想知道他的名字。629Please respect copyright.PENANAutnnw4zByv
629Please respect copyright.PENANA18KAJNNAD1
「尼可拉斯.克里斯托多羅普洛斯。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAMHgFHs50D6
629Please respect copyright.PENANAcDLSIx4Ejm
「什麼?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAmF7LqY1lWJ
629Please respect copyright.PENANAywrrtbEglC
派翠克聽到一串很像咒語的東西。尼可拉斯對這反應習以為常,「叫我尼可就好。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAejhRLomlja
629Please respect copyright.PENANA1gNEHMGWSK
「……噗。」派翠克笑了,「我相信你是希波克拉底了。這種姓氏,只有你們自己人才記得住。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAOecIxVUUO8
629Please respect copyright.PENANAHnsMCBeg2c
「哈。」629Please respect copyright.PENANA76BCXonRP5
629Please respect copyright.PENANAWkSPSuFMxF
尼可拉斯也笑了。確實,希波克拉底一脈的特色除了醫生,還有一堆又臭又長的姓氏。629Please respect copyright.PENANAAmMKLQFtcj
629Please respect copyright.PENANAsUrWEooFnI
「我小時候被我媽罰寫,因為我總是拼錯自己的名字。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAiXSND4uB5q
629Please respect copyright.PENANAEFPU5yDENr
尼可拉斯不知道自己說這幹嘛,但看到派翠克發自內心、開心的笑,他心情也不自覺輕鬆起來。629Please respect copyright.PENANAoFKsRNu9N4
629Please respect copyright.PENANASRpFsmNrkN
「謝謝。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAQKZql7OElA
629Please respect copyright.PENANApcYGuyPxjM
包紮完畢,派翠克捲下袖子。因為尼可拉斯對自己沒興趣,他莫名信任這個人,直覺尼可拉斯不會害他。629Please respect copyright.PENANAGdkBUe0PwP
629Please respect copyright.PENANAomCDwbzbYS
629Please respect copyright.PENANA3tyU1VHnto
而且,他覺得尼可拉斯好熟悉。629Please respect copyright.PENANAGfZm52q6yb
629Please respect copyright.PENANA7V7yb9RyUJ
彷彿以前在哪見過。629Please respect copyright.PENANAhbNK10n0Bx
629Please respect copyright.PENANAAIfbYwXpF7
629Please respect copyright.PENANAtW4hGKQsk5
「你不是我家派來的,怎麼知道我在這?」派翠克問。629Please respect copyright.PENANAqWzHUaNWxe
629Please respect copyright.PENANAoSADFHVSHL
「說來話長。」尼可拉斯不打算廢話,直接說:「不管你信不信──有個人一個禮拜後會來殺你,我要帶你去安全的地方。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAvnQ80vvUpy
629Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ekvPIoG4
「殺我?」派翠克的反應超冷靜,「高宇維嗎?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAyJnfsDlx3w
629Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yl7WzT6QY
「……?」629Please respect copyright.PENANATISbzrwFjN
629Please respect copyright.PENANAH4kzPNbAoL
尼可拉斯不明白,為什麼派翠克的第一反應是高宇維。派翠克反問:「不是嗎?」629Please respect copyright.PENANA5gBDelaUIN
629Please respect copyright.PENANAnR327pivML
「不,是跟你長得一模一樣、粉紅色頭髮的人。」尼可拉斯得先搞清楚,「為什麼高宇維要殺你?」629Please respect copyright.PENANAD1gfCejBBa
629Please respect copyright.PENANAdNvOjJJ2Wq
「原因很複雜,總之,我見了不該見的女人。」629Please respect copyright.PENANAMOztOdv8eo
629Please respect copyright.PENANAEo7g6oaSSd
派翠克告訴尼可拉斯:「她的頭髮也是粉紅色。」
