他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw3jwKujFu

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。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Y7TDi1We
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJATz8qP6H
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。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75NDPJ1w77
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTsFgzliqb
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34GEf8IKTY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15PJvh8dH
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzLN2KA0eN
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V4s96EyW1
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。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg261P8qxJb
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBVu0ubunv
他沒奈何，但只得接受。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7CVVzEFPd
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvKjfZYBfK
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。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNVVg6SO8q

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！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1sT4sauc6
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6HsVg36F0
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrT7PreoSA
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIyehIEvN1
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。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwznsLzOC

城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qyw77U65I

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xxQOgg8I

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gb46JzGou
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtZpt1o0i
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLGziuccXZ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjs2cpzaiI
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。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7m1xllufi
