他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mioIirwM

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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarNe5mTdgZ

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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ghokF33o
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwju6jlCab
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtvAfaAbhL
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGt9BtoSwa
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42qy9z2qW
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCbl6KRg6u
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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LnaIG7S1k
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGNYeDjyph
他沒奈何，但只得接受。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbgOeSUD1g
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFEQpXYyz
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOtZfezPe

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！334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIJSBBOfxk

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo2FnJZECA
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHrI0QKkYh
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLuKwjjMSV

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5KrIBmgwk

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4rSrdLxtt
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09a4iIdWCV
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xbk5Hzuea
