他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp69NETDAgu

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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uaxvUihvq

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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbp9UkOJjo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIhGXWI7jq
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskcMspjCZv
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35F9mQ9pqw
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagBL1CWF5o
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12QuPzJm2g
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。」347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyboKlX3Ui
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTfqx2yjQ
他沒奈何，但只得接受。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkXO0qdRbJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8h5PksB8
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi1lxjU092

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！347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gSZwZiF4m

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuUWzbM9HH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjpYXz97K
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJdVjMODz4

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3SgBWObkO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkYc4SUnBQ
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiM12XWiIJ
