他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT66w34Md1T

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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Bi6y56MT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoACpDoj8zz
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEnb5W7PAg
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiE4EnkDIw
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUm7ZLbzBq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyNwbRy42y
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUE11HcqTX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDm8oYyUNI
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。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZL7jgkjRV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hdljj6lSb
他沒奈何，但只得接受。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMokHqcGBb
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAoawwDGoB
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ836aw5Plim

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！333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaE3kpqG8E

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kiOdIwLVM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0niSHoep
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSywr3qdfn

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwSebkzgOo

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4We9ePKAoE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsF2YaIQF
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPmwuMoBVe
