他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49jiZ1kXyw

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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09r9Oq2F20

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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqmOXT2vLV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOfwKA02il
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwIa5zrDY9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKxAt7hxR
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyRPtiDYED
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK3N607EjK
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28xNZM0WqR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPVSZUigs3
他沒奈何，但只得接受。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlbSv6W4c
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VkdQAzKGw
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMq9i8UrPr

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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ctHbNURtE

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3RHIiyqF7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKJJdm5XCA
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck0oGQ6ziG

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmGHPdyGTh

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQbc8pQ3YO
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1PNQgoW3m
