2157年8月5日，凌晨兩點，仙境大樓，三層543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzRfteeu2k

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t6BSJZzB0
葛蕾絲、MIO、李博洋、李晴煬四人在三樓等消息，赫密士一從二樓回來，葛蕾絲立刻抓住他的肩膀，問：「怎麼樣？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeJHT9IBpH
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwM3aiaEmQ
「小孩被高宇維救回來了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhdVx6Piwb
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Up85fRDV
赫密士閉上眼睛，「但大嫂沒有。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwKokiS7jF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR1ZhmSdd5
「……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX038hbjVfA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmnJeT2syy
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛，MIO的手鞠掉到地上，李晴煬低下頭，李博洋整個人跪到地上、自責地捶著地板。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllf9N1QtCD
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ7Qqf3Xmm
「可惡……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfRnN5qkmo
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcqfidn8pS
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYcaUzT8DA
如果他再強一點。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PKW7RDwcd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRt7ZHsSfa
如果他的白色空間，沒有被紅鶴搶走。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqoXGyuXB
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUHW7hITE8
他應該可以保護雪檸……他應該要保護雪檸的。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ifbPzXi85
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJZoQH5eT
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd2hplKVHR
「博洋……」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ4FfT0xI3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3O05Pk2k9
MIO走上前、正想安慰李博洋，葛蕾絲卻衝上來、一拳打在MIO的肚子上──543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJcxvHkEqR
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKv3cvuaa0
「磅！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFE4N0C9T
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5cXGLmBYw
MIO整個人飛出去、撞到一邊的牆壁。所有人都嚇一跳，李晴煬從後面抓住葛蕾絲，驚恐問：「葛蕾絲姊，妳幹嘛！？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iu6mI2Za3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeCed3NJsV
葛蕾絲把眼淚擦掉，「還不承認嗎？」並用非常恐怖的眼神，瞪著倒在地上的MIO，「大嫂被妳害死了，妳滿意了沒！？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kliLuQEKS
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYMlBXuayp
葛蕾絲的話讓所有人瞪大眼睛，尤其是李博洋，他不敢相信地問葛蕾絲：「姊，妳這話什麼意思？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2NecafqAr
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRJpcduyd
「我老早就覺得奇怪，我怎麼可能用這麼短的時間復活，一定是妳跟什麼人進行了交換！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJRxLqsbHL
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RXueRipqc
葛蕾絲指著MIO，「是尼可吧！為了讓我立刻復活，代價是另一條懷特的命，我沒說錯吧！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscWUXsPECA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpPgugmGtr
MIO沒有否認。唯一還保持冷靜的赫密士走上前，「原來如此。」兩手插到口袋，「一命換一命的概念嗎？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasJHPAfOV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFNKuxlXZl
「尼可一定以為，另一條懷特的命是哥哥，但他沒想到，雪檸肚子裡的孩子也是懷特！」葛蕾絲握緊拳頭，「妳原本要拿檸檬的命『交換』。要不是宇維少爺介入，今天死的就不是雪檸，而是檸檬！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRs7lS4Kye
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKmFzcUQBY
「……要拿誰的命換，不是MIO能決定的。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaAuJrtaJ3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oGwXhcQVe
MIO吃力地說。葛蕾絲這一拳非常痛，她必須摀著肚子，才能坐起來。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwjlV1l7Ze
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8m4hjJz1P
「所有的規則、運作，都不是MIO控制，MIO只是實現尼可的願望。」MIO也瞪著葛蕾絲，大聲地說：「MIO並沒有錯！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rntUvuyqM
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW5bOuov4A
「如果妳有作為神與畜的自覺，」葛蕾絲大吼：「這種可能會殺死成員的『交換』，妳必須拒絕他！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr9CwWddoG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4n0rKnQhA
「MIO就是MIO，MIO只是在實行MIO的意義！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDuEJ5RzpE
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMHY0y7Ob
MIO站起來，反問葛蕾絲：「妳為什麼不問尼可？他作為神與畜，為什麼還要和MIO作這種『交換』？妳不怪自己的兒子，把錯都推到MIO身上，公私不分又是誰？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HVqfW5IYX
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYWZmyqef
「連我都能猜到的事，妳以為我哥會不知道？他自會裁定，哪怕……哪怕哥哥要把尼可殺了，我也不能說什麼。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt28n61vbew
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGxFj9zEKk
葛蕾絲說得心很痛，她警告MIO：「妳做好心理準備，如果哥哥連尼可都殺了，他也不會放過妳！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7qh9AKlqZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI31Rf0Ufj
「MIO不怕死。」MIO瞇起眼睛，「打從遇到博洋的那天，MIO就不在乎自己的生死。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPUqxSThrA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QP1JsLWlx
葛蕾絲要繼續說，卻被赫密士從後面踹了後膝蓋，害她用非常不帥的姿勢跌到地上。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauDVC2XklD
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN2D4FCyiU
「都什麼時候了還在吵架妳們煩不煩啊？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYLm9y4H9K
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K9BEMZSI9
赫密士說，視線由上而下，叫她的名字：「MIO。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea37hwo5sm
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCHnbfsLS8
「……？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2WGFurkm
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvaWV4P37
「我從以前就無法信任妳妳知道為什麼嗎？」赫密士冷冷地說：「因為妳是NAGI的女兒。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxLsb73tN
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1r4hshzh
「媽媽？」聽到關鍵字的MIO蹙起眉頭，「跟媽媽有什麼關係？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1hkwGCl5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVjd15DN7M
「妳果然什麼都不知道。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393YvHZZq5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsPYZigU8o

「當初高宇維要收妳，我極力反對，但他堅持妳什麼都不知道。沒錯，妳真的對自己的母親一無所知。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CdQW20HP7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe3LfuHa87
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuHqWS4aoW
赫密士看著MIO。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqUzCScPIw
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkwa5bLxd8
「儘管如此，妳和妳母親非常相似。不服從規矩、搞不清楚狀況、亂用水果塔，甚至，妳蒐集有關強暴的新聞，都是受到妳母親影響，因為她就是在那樣的狀況下，把女兒生下來的。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUjfuly9N
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLntww2S0F
赫密士突然轉頭，問李晴煬：「你說她的『聲音』是什麼？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjTERnnOnc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBI5ZtWCO
「啊？」太突然了，李晴煬沒反應過來。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGsjjqSxL
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtksW6Dgd6
「你不是能聽到大家害怕的聲音嗎？」赫密士額頭爆青筋，「MIO的是什麼？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuK646ak6q
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDA1WG0633
李晴煬終於反應過來。他在心裡罵赫密士，講得不清不楚，要人怎麼立刻回答？543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTHOEf69qD
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03uZZYzcAg
「鈴鐺。」李晴煬告訴赫密士：「『叮鈴鈴』的鈴鐺聲。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH9aqtRlb5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfq5RmGva4
「鈴……鐺？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8Q3jNXxI
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUcrpf8EN
MIO眨眼，連她自己也不知道為什麼；另一邊的赫密士卻發笑，彎腰，與MIO平視。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSykBMTyENc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKibe3iCJN4
「妳說妳不怕死，是嗎？那我告訴妳一件比死更可怕的事。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj3dB0a10v
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBiLjOGHBM
赫密士伸出一根手指，點在MIO的額頭上。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6WnNmhrEg
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo95lnXi3h
「妳母親，是被人殺死的。」赫密士微笑，「妳還記得嗎？被身上戴鈴鐺的人，打到半死不活。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYt48aiVtZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaTHvRZ79d
「……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8feAhNEV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7O5YZAJEI
MIO好像想起了什麼。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTrFWHpE7T
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTE83LJx5D
黑色的人闖入家中，媽媽把她關在浴室。隔著一道門，媽媽的叫聲、鈴鐺的震動聲、骨頭的斷裂聲……媽媽的血從門縫流進來。她害怕地躲在牆角，直到──543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXcoc9H7IP
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLRye6c2el
「再告訴妳一件事。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqkDiwzRKj
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwy6dsjHjp
赫密士走到MIO後面，硬是把她的頭，轉向李博洋與李晴煬兩兄弟。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUKhI4afuf
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHGXYejR9
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViJvIVd1k1
「那個戴鈴鐺的人，就是李仲翔。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhckPHxqfo
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uj37GwQTj
「為什麼讓博洋當妳的嚮導──」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ7sfoNNps
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuymGEIfkC
「因為高宇維不想讓妳報仇，就是這麼簡單。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweAkKMoo0I
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXTqP3RCbA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSk1qMydy
「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5xQGL3nB7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3mwDfFY1g
MIO空洞的眼睛凝視著李博洋。她沒有哭，也沒有鬧，持續這樣的狀態十秒，才低下頭、一個人跑離客廳。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dRYMzAkJ4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIul58pzeb
「喂，赫密士！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzJbimDSGm
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGaaw3SJgO
MIO一離開，李晴煬立刻問，口氣很不高興，「你沒事提這幹嘛？刺激MIO造反嗎？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZYydOwuQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQljYoIatjB
「你太小看她對李博洋的愛了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWxT1K0FH2
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkxRUPxQl
赫密士恢復平常的語速，「造反倒不至於我只是要她享受這份煎熬畢竟她真的做錯了事。」他吸了一口菸，「而且你不是讀心術達人嗎如果她想造反你一定事先就會知道。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTBtJG2aB
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRQZIsBQGQ
「本大爺又不能隨便拿耳機！」李晴煬反駁。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3h4QrNevr
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N8e8sw43j
「放心經過雪檸這件事高宇維遲早會允許你拿。」赫密士說：「我們人越來越多為了確保上下一條心一定會需要一個糾察隊那個人肯定就是你了啊啊竟然要被你這種人竊聽想想也真不爽。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CrJcmWoF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbkSLEbvyo
李晴煬不知道該回應什麼。監聽自己人，如果是高宇維希望的，他當然會毫不猶豫去做，只是難免覺得諷刺。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lUfPqNHD
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VHQe0QWII
他看向哥哥。李博洋的臉色很差，雪檸的死訊已經讓他很難過，赫密士又來這招、挑撥他和MIO的關係。李晴煬第一次覺得哥哥可憐，他走上前，拍了拍哥哥的肩膀。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaajxeLTqDB
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl4JkPtzK6
「……抱歉，弟弟，我有點累。」李博洋低頭，「我先回房間了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI39orwbaS
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhkVyUgcSs
「你那鬼房間最好能休息。」李晴煬乾脆地說：「去我房間吧，本大爺帶你過去。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAeHuXaEyz
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNzrB518g
「謝謝……」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bmqwdv7JJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMnbgxsvL
李博洋真的累了。簡單和大家說過晚安，李晴煬便帶李博洋離開。也在這時，赫密士告訴葛蕾絲：「妳也去休息吧。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3yeOPBbSv
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtWWmZBpS
「我要等尼可。」葛蕾絲頓了頓，「……如果他還活著。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL29zoh6Ptc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRvx2dgXW
「那我先下去了。」赫密士呿了一聲，「有個白痴為了救小孩把自己的手弄斷我得去看看。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW1IQhkHpc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzUNS28yTi
說完，赫密士離開。背影雖然很不情願，但那股「這是我的責任」的使命感，讓葛蕾絲很是欣慰。相較之下，他兒子真是太不成熟了。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMRmnvNqp4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGw9HI5zr
雪檸的死，帶給里奧很大的打擊；加上那個嬰兒，要是傳到十大家族耳裡，肯定會變成各方野心家的目標。未來的神與畜，必須一邊確保檸檬的安全，一邊平定反高派的勢力，還要提防紅鶴……他們需要優秀的成員加入。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14AGwI4kWV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKUzUKUFXE
所以，里奧應該不會殺死尼可拉斯……吧？543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aKOOOxzW3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8dBkWEo4u
葛蕾絲坐在沙發，雙手合十，只能在心裡祈禱了。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ZBotZVV0

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT6mFMwUD8
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SA3Fe8nu
檸檬已經睡著了。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqywfivKtGu
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mZr0SdxYN
嬰兒真的好小、好脆弱。抱著手中的小生命，尼可拉斯終於意識到，自己做了多麼殘忍的事。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ3hDQxV20
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcEmEeEsy6
雪檸已經被安置在冰櫃，里奧還在醫務室外。汗從尼可拉斯的額頭流下來──他知道，這是他的罪、他的報應，他遲早得去面對。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR6cMY8qi2
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nMuyPbQ5W
所以他走過去。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vY6KZwDTW
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdhmFo9wN
抱著妹妹，來到妹妹的親身父親旁，親手交給他。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyMD124TPG

「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtUmmDy5g
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fknu7MD5k
里奧沒有說話，默默接過檸檬、凝視她的臉。空氣凝重得像冰塊，尼可拉斯覺得自己快要窒息。他想打破沉默，然而，才剛開口，里奧那雙琉璃色的眼睛瞥了過來，嚇得他當場閉嘴、屏住呼吸。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKYhNSOhtA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoECeZXMEhp

真的會死。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7XP6xyEr

他不會輕易原諒。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8XyQWVSc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAInHxbiC7b
也沒有理由原諒。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ1sE8y6Dt

「對…對不起……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK5mqQURct
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToTzN37Nob
因為害怕、因為愧疚、因為悲傷……尼可拉斯的眼淚流下來。他整個人跪在里奧面前，哭著顫抖。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh0MH7jeGG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Be17p2jL
「對不起……我知道你沒有理由原諒我，可是……對不起……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XLuMi23FJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdzdpqpxzT
想到雪檸，想到他剛出生的妹妹……尼可拉斯的眼淚停不下來，全部落在醫務室的地上。他已經做好死的覺悟。里奧想怎麼殺他都行，他不會反抗。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMoDi6zMn3

「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5dB0nsRRd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWWLaclLR3
里奧不生氣嗎？他當然生氣。只要願意，他隨時都能替雪檸報仇。殺死尼可拉斯就像捏死螞蟻，對里奧來說輕而易舉。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3gwsr8EIk

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBhL3Ibbal
殺了尼可，然後呢？是不是也要殺了MIO？多死兩個人，無法改變雪檸已死的事實，何況追根究柢，該死的人不是他們。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUiSSycbkZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqol63t7E9

「……？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbHNUCq6Fv

一聲小小的呻吟突然傳來。里奧低頭，似是感覺到爸爸的視線，檸檬竟然醒過來，一雙漂亮的琉璃色緩緩睜開，清澈的眼睛與里奧四目相接。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRCqTPUOQA

一雙大手突然放到尼可拉斯頭上。尼可拉斯抬頭，戾氣從里奧的臉上消失，他變回面無表情的臉，淡淡說了句：「坐吧。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tyIMzPZpf
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSy0lpCwMg
「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmcCJJ9Yj

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYKU75LPkb
再拒絕就不像話了。尼可拉斯乖乖從地上起來、坐到里奧旁邊。正當他不知道該說什麼時，里奧突然問：「小孩應該幾號出生？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WILMviVOP
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y22XNeLjv
尼可拉斯嚇一跳，沒想到第一個問題是這個。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyw9l6E21l

檸檬的時間被高宇維提早七個月，尼可拉斯算了算，「明年四月。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb3cvgMQTY

尼可拉斯緊緊抓著自己的衣襬。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKqdaqKKP
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k1XNxZZig
「李博洋說的沒錯，我一直用媽媽的死，來合理化自己的不幸。以為用受害者的立場，就能把錯都推給別人、從來不檢討自己；李晴煬都走出來了，相較之下，我真的很差勁。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuGpHlpE3b
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRr9nS3dcO
「所以希望葛蕾絲回來？」里奧問。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVGb6Q1uXb
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe3wirrcaN
「沒錯，還有……」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE3dQRHeoX
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbx0o0Oel1
尼可拉斯的表情很掙扎，最後，還是決定說出來──543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxLghXKFSy
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFYEQvz0dk
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChogtEdpB
「我發現，自己喜歡的是男生。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDtvNgWutj
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXbxGvgjA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmHeUL09KJ
「……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlxtuB07a0
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj34rvW53m
看尼可拉斯的表情就知道，他真的鼓起很大的勇氣、才敢說出這件事。里奧承認他嚇到了。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs0y4wQDYo
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf1emi5VaT
「我最近常夢到奇怪的夢，那讓我很……害怕。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvncFh7Olg
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroRGuTVR7
尼可拉斯的聲音在抖。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBQnyaSiVN
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrnb6VhQE0
「我不知道自己怎麼了……感覺身體不是自己的。明明醫學上是很正常的現象，但我當下真的……不知所措，覺得自己很不正常、很恐怖……！」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAeDcNBOQw
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSGNZTdzYj
第一個告訴的人竟然是里奧。尼可拉斯又哭了。他摀著口鼻，努力不發出哭聲；另一方面，里奧終於理解，為什麼尼可拉斯無論如何，都希望葛蕾絲回來。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T24i1IHJr
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOfGXepqXQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKt7KgNCY
尼可拉斯也是孩子。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKymXpURqPG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVkzmnRIU
雖然外表、知識超齡，但他只有十七歲。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeMGLnF1NZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1oTqFf6oC
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xf2GVE5Rx
里奧回想：自己十七歲時，身邊有什麼人？樂觀開朗的妹妹，令人尊敬的父親；再隔一年，他認識了高宇維，兩人從此形影不離。年輕的里奧並不孤獨，不知寂寞為何物；反觀尼可拉斯，葛蕾絲死後，他始終只有自己。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F594iRJOJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf09rnPRlH
「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmLMHGsr0
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18JyjtvWxy
里奧把手放到尼可拉斯頭上。那一瞬間，尼可拉斯忍不住，像個孩子一樣大哭起來。里奧．懷特也是他的家人──尼可拉斯終於在心裡，承認這一點。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OlAJcITC7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIvFi7Wo2M
「啊。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk6lovulpF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8brtnQp7S2
突然，檸檬叫了一聲，里奧和尼可拉斯都嚇一跳。循著視線，她正在看尼可拉斯，好像在叫他不要哭；尼可拉斯的眼淚，確實也嚇到縮回去。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZszskZt9ha
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhrnF4dKOh
「……我一直以為睫毛影是商人的噱頭，沒想到是真的。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigY9Tw4SM
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTYNi9kDPj
尼可拉斯看著檸檬的眼睛，忍不住讚嘆：「她好漂亮。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9twynlw7W
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPjKChF4e
「像媽媽。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68NBZlP7Q5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXbuStTa7
里奧用手指逗了逗檸檬。爸爸沒表情，女兒也沒表情，尼可拉斯不知道怎麼形容，那畫面很怪異。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBxAYoEEdS
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OWihAOf2a
「……尼可。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFuXVTQoC
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfSNRBshAK
里奧突然抬頭，跟尼可拉斯說：「我不在，安琪都交給你。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97oY5e5msn
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMiHexx2Yg
「咦？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQDMNWvVCf
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyngWGWMn0b
「葛蕾絲回來，就會跟我行動，我和她會常常不在。你是醫生，宇維不會派太多外出任務，交給你最合適。」里奧說。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekpXHGPEVX
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tv1gNUtjL
「不，這不對吧？我最不適合照顧她，畢竟我……！」尼可拉斯看著檸檬，「我不配當她的哥哥，她應該要恨我。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGUdY4tjm6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjxfbVOwCZ
里奧明白，但他告訴尼可拉斯：「你要她恨你，我不介意，這跟照顧她不衝突，你是哥哥。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAH343fPPd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxWrcjYnjU
「……。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZrlUOHMTY
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnL5XCKPOh
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmWsYBLKJV
「討厭的哥哥」。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE3n45nQev
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv2CZI5hds
尼可拉斯腦中，閃過這個身分。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqcbLVAti
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zFIVQaHX9
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqGpN1ZLrw
「……我明白了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hx3wBjIE4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5tc8ABNxr
尼可拉斯擦掉眼淚、擦掉淚痕，跟里奧保證：543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCyVq1YFN1
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvIgBJML0
「我會負責教她，讓她變成最出色的人……要是遇到李晴煬那種渣男，包準檸檬能在三秒內，把他打成太監。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EkpeAKTwC
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qIbzAtVRm
聽到尼可拉斯罵人，里奧知道他的情緒大致平復。他總算解開和尼可拉斯的心結，今後的尼可拉斯也不再拘泥過往。為了雪檸，為了檸檬，為了懷特……他這輩子將奉獻給神與畜。他已經長大，也將帶著這份罪惡感，活下去。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A4trkGCcK
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ajuhpFKA3
「對了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1MpGFYTqo
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j2yIGyJf8
尼可拉斯想到什麼，尷尬地問：「我以後，要叫你舅舅嗎？」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhY2AcYD1t
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdU3VADZoA
難以言喻的怪異感，里奧整個雞皮疙瘩都起來。他搖頭，「不接受，太老了。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahI8QiPs1u
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvw4UVa4A
你確實活了很久啊。尼可拉斯心想。要不是高宇維暫停他的時間，現在的里奧應該是具骷髏。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetFKKKDVt
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JXphzVq7V
不過，尼可拉斯也不叫雪檸「舅媽」，是叫大嫂；那麼，對里奧如果不用那個稱呼，對雪檸太不公平了。543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vRcrPV1f
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzpGhcbhuR
「以後，還能像這樣聊天嗎？」尼可拉斯終於說出那四個字：「里奧大哥。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkebjWbW24
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR52dUyY0px
「隨時歡迎。」543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B3a8MlY0T
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScC91u9Re5
說完，里奧低頭，發現檸檬又睡著了。她睡得很熟，似乎，幫忙解決爸爸和哥哥的問題，真的很累。
