2157年9月8日，晚上七點，商業中心B區，咆哮飯店703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2mgYB8VBo

703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ey16MQr4
派翠克醒來時，發現自己背部全濕，旁邊的尼可拉斯也嚇得冷汗直流，看來不論現實與夢境，兩人都經歷不少驚嚇。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnMzCZXPjv
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQGTNyauYL
「你……」尼可拉斯按下激動的情緒，關心問：「你還好嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQeU4iuEhg
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Yn93hBtR
「……。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1w4vw92a
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z0VWpws17
白絃說「他不會傷害你」，派翠克百分之百相信。他看到上一代的記憶，明白自己為何對尼可拉斯如此放心。公爵夫人的記憶在他的基因中，尼可拉斯的基因也烙印著某人的情感，尼可拉斯不會傷害自己。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX2Qr3U0VH
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bU8Wnqsra
「嗯。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qFSTrIBpA
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P6S7E1NZ6
派翠克伸手，環抱住尼可拉斯的脖子，靠在他的鎖骨前。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1DwgFIaOr
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ISh4r8BAI
「我沒事，只是做了很長的夢。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQouPL6YjP
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5W11Bgb96
派翠克就這樣抱上來，尼可拉斯嚇一跳，不知道手該放哪裡。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFjbVKvYw4
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxI4WRvqDo
「尼可，」派翠克聞著尼可拉斯身上的味道，「你說，有個跟我長得一模一樣、粉紅色頭髮的人要殺我，是嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BbUN0BThe
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1Qm14hz0
「對。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt75Wn23JFG
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOAhEOjco
「那個人，是不是白絃姊的弟弟？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDNbm1iAvu
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQg0Diqld
正常人不知道獅鷲的本名，派翠克還加了個「姊」。尼可拉斯問：「你怎麼知道？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48u35xLDog
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAblvivKy4X
「我想，現在沒有我不知道的事了。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxQnPWWYmw
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJozOxBlwc
派翠克的話頗有玄機，但他沒有多做解釋，只是放開尼可拉斯。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRYNMVbvS
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfUKwjvSyf
「尼可，有些事，我現在還不能告訴你，時間到了我一定跟你說。我希望你能先相信我，可以嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXbBQwfwi5
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyCeG7DiQF
派翠克說，很少人能對他的臉說不；然而，就算派翠克不長這樣，尼可拉斯的答案都不會變：「可以。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRPVw0oxF5
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDqxOUPb05
「謝謝。」派翠克微笑，「你人真的很好。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhICaBAw4f0
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTMbrs32W
李博洋曾在監獄說過一模一樣的話。尼可拉斯冷笑，「我如果是好人，早就上天堂，不會在人間生不如死。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOE1f7k7e
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRajDCBoKyD
派翠克覺得尼可拉斯太謙虛。要是他知道尼可拉斯的天賦，就能理解這番話。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraWnx8xzEf
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSTTIvIeZ7
派翠克告訴尼可拉斯：「我奶奶只剩一個禮拜的壽命，我想回去見她。」並說：「有她在，紅鶴不會對我出手。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerSLZb6YER
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecZmvWP0zy
「那裡不安全，否則你現在不會在這。」尼可拉斯反駁：「你奶奶能對付紅鶴，但她無法反抗高宇維。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ209ivnJye
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7m048Flml
「所以我更要回去。」派翠克不怕，「尼可，原因我不能告訴你，但我能保證：只要奶奶一死，高宇維就不會殺我，甚至會不惜一切代價，要我成為神與畜。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLrBNFtu6L
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1VSBwsMT
「……？」尼可拉斯懵了，派翠克不像在說謊。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimKLrZbKlr
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2lxdiZ5Eo
「只要讓高宇維知道派翠克．雷蒙的『生』和薇奧拉．雷蒙的『死』，他就不會出手。我必須把握最後這幾天，所以我要回去。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNbNoncvIL
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhC7ZeRi3X
雖然不明白其中原因，但比起艾莉絲，找公爵夫人確實比較保險，何況派翠克這麼肯定，尼可拉斯沒什麼好反駁，只是叮嚀：「紅鶴非常難纏，路上又不能被高宇維發現，這段路途很危險。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXmT2F8c7c
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQChR40SICo
「放心。」派翠克握拳，「我會保護你。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2G0LM7UUv
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZlOzrs2KO
「憑你這隻箭毒蛙？」尼可拉斯冷笑。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKEXS0NqQA
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2MvwbOXQ
「別小看我的毒，然後，不要把我說成青蛙，很噁心！」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeTL0M1hw5
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFCQnatI6
派翠克很生氣，尼可拉斯用手指戳了戳派翠克的額頭，覺得他的反應很好玩。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm35RnvYmP8
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKwwm40gLR
他們決定明天一早出發，在那之前，尼可拉斯和派翠克度過一段兩人時光。他們先叫客房服務吃了晚餐，之後，派翠克拜託尼可拉斯教他醫學。其實他的夢想是當醫生，但因為身分、無法與希波克拉底一脈競爭，派翠克才沒有繼續升學；也因為這個話題，派翠克得知一件可怕的事。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKXXtzJCTg
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaWzFFN8eR
「咦，尼可才十七歲！？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4fLwMIzcP
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQanypA2A4S
派翠克非常震驚，「我以為你年紀比我大！」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9MbmV9jVw
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHkSI4UV2f
尼可拉斯挑眉。仙境大樓還有個十二歲的人渣，姓李名晴煬，那才是不折不扣的詐欺。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wri42pNze
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq7m2keswv
「你幾歲？」尼可拉斯問。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jPVXoUyS
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIdpC1Px1E
「二十四。」派翠克突然想到：「我這樣算不算誘拐未成年？尼可的媽媽知道你在這嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ckBBrtrq
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Zoairnm3
「放心，我媽不太管我，她比我還像十七歲。」尼可拉斯這話千真萬確，葛蕾絲不論外表或內在都比他年輕。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfbmlUvHLw
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iwP4cs1dq
「這麼年輕就是醫生，尼可真了不起，我連自己十七歲在幹嘛都想不起來。」派翠克盯著天花板的水晶燈，天外飛來一筆：「尼可的爸爸，是什麼樣的人？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpBAGg0n49
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2VE2XWEnD
尼可拉斯微愣，「……我和他互動不多，不清楚。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXI7amQvFg
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDirPsl8gxB
「不清楚？」派翠克嗅到尷尬的氣氛，「感情不好？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWh26qQkCi
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaxGqESMkU
「不，只是沒交集。」尼可拉斯不方便說自己做過牢，只能婉轉地說：「我曾經很長一段時間不在家。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQje0ZsFl
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3fgw4UrK0
派翠克眨眼，「尼可的爸爸，是壞人嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHy6E5TdI
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArajyQrcqU
尼可拉斯停頓，「我想，他對好壞的定義，跟一般人不一樣。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySJ1Rn381D
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu14GVarfd
「你呢？」派翠克又問：「在尼可的定義，他是壞人嗎？」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBsICA7cP
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3GGjwSV3X
想起爸爸曾經教他讀書寫字的畫面，尼可拉斯搖頭。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzDgThwJut
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGA3lZWP4w
「我想也是。」派翠克微笑，「有你這樣的兒子，他一定是很棒的人。」703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOLs2kiMF2
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcnFD6cHb
尼可拉斯以為派翠克只是客套，沒特別回應。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xt7i0Bx5L
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGpznSHmX
聊著聊著，時間越來越晚，很久沒和人說話的派翠克似乎累了。派翠克想把一半的床讓給尼可拉斯，但尼可拉斯堅持睡沙發，派翠克只能抱著失望的心情，乖乖縮回棉被裡。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCiqSVh7hY
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEzj9Lhld
那一夜，派翠克睡得很熟，換尼可拉斯做夢。他好像看見爸爸，在和一名穿橘色西裝的人決鬥……因為很模糊，尼可拉斯不確定發生什麼，只知道自己醒來時頭痛得半死，比沒睡還難過。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNotgTlpg8D
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejE00fRebO
早上六點，派翠克還在睡，梳洗完的尼可拉斯走到客廳，想讓派翠克睡到八點，自己先在客廳看電視。然而，看不到十分鐘，門鈴聲傳來，尼可拉斯以為是服務人員，結果用門孔一看、差點嚇死。703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMz5ndule
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOo8z7eCMr
站在門外的人是他的母親──神與畜第二幹部，葛蕾絲．懷特。
