他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfinbX2Fwl

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。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdwwaQBG0g

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。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVSRt8cbFF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcQb5BIlhA
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN9Tqlf1SG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQgmOGgkwQ
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOxaHp9RlM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfsTqcYby
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。」364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivmSvVqMK
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbC2ERrFPs
他沒奈何，但只得接受。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIanRh1k1n
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWdrbd1neF
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。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVwTEgn4Q7

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！364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKDQHRHTN

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZQFYLZ0KR
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHTTZq9LNz
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。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5N8U8jlXr

城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZRk24aZW

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBXio8XdG

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkydXbmduI
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFobFnrwEZU
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。364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobr4TvMmO6
