他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc1dUfAFIb

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。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhNk8Nm7B

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。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGOh3IjbE1

諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95gucZhpKG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGswpzLULTa
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB1mjrk7AP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52SGucMO59
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。」391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCFRDH8x9G

他沒奈何，但只得接受。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYoUM0gVrg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvME4mFE605
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。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLl9KESZGW

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！391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBRUN0tZST

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcbez5Vnil
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOdofJ2lOt
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。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQSqLMXB8P

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ5tU0H0yf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsbEZVfdZN
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。391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAkbclwq4
