他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKBHOhVC5q

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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yaGeHWT4b

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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi6aFQRhrF

諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpugYyZvtR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rn5yGwnwQ
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0IZJbbyVp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSudKdIlIh
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsh1mXajLx

他沒奈何，但只得接受。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQaTac17XL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh43PkHAXOw
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnGOeXFG4b

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！380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGFTSZsGjr

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDEOepmvi

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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V1VUngRqF

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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxYxDWRPzf
