她花一個早上消化雷齊維王子的話，想著想著，不知不覺中，倒在床上睡著了，直至中午，女僕叫起她，替她換下睡袍，才送她上馬車。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uhqvjZXxi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqLC0igQ7
回去的途中，她懶洋洋靠在椅背，一動也不想動，偶爾，馬車一陣激烈晃動，喉中一股作噁感便油然而生。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VhkGumZEr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKcM9OkBn
她知道自己生病了：經過昨夜的大雨，與未眠的夜晚，她的身子變得虛弱不堪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Ne9oJ4o2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfxgrB76gO
馬車的停靠處離公寓足有一條街的距離，她與車夫道謝，踏軟綿綿的腳步，緩緩向公寓走去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIMy2xOvq5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uEWPEz4ZB
跨上一層又一層的階梯，她來到五樓，卻再也沒有力氣推門，只好疲憊扶一旁的把手歇息。頓時，屋內出乎她意外的傳來兩人的對談聲。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQ1dTm8c9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrYgTyGX62
「小姐，請妳現在離開。」裡頭，蕭邦帶不悅的語氣說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNlFPrn2xA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU5ULfA4d7
「蕭邦先生，我來這裡沒有別的意圖，僅僅想稱讚你的音樂罷了。」女人的聲音急促響起。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUBgFpRBJ4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0lMXHVQUw
疲倦間，她認出那是喬治‧桑的聲音。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmSlwysokb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuXa7lgho6
「妳的好意我心領，現在，請回吧，妳打擾到我休息了。」他的聲音透露出極度的不耐，顯然隱忍許久，現在正發出最後的警告。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJnXknYLwJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCi2Pxzz6k
未待喬治‧桑回應，同有川恢復一些體力，勉強推門入屋。兩人的對話霎時停了，蕭邦看她，微微愣住，沒想到她會在這時候回來。他再仔細觀察她，發覺她的不適。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxG3yP4hXe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy6meFbIdi
喬治‧桑回過頭，見到同有川的模樣，微微彎起嘴角。「我知道了，改天見，蕭邦先生。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuB6YXAgjK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOae6VHVUmU
說罷，她轉身與同有川擦肩而過，大步走下樓梯。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aTpHwVz1p
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6GSz4WDP
虛弱的同有川一個踉蹌，跌坐上地，蕭邦趕緊伸長手臂，拉她入懷。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlck6zdBrpu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9cEsTld35
「妳發燒了！」他觸上她滾燙的身子，心疼側身抱起她，快步入臥房，安置她上床。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGWL2h9Mk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNM075zRRX
「上帝──怎麼會病得如此嚴重！」他沒照顧過病人，立刻慌得手忙腳亂，一下拿毛巾覆上她的額頭、一下替她換上舒適的衣裳。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVOeCBei0A
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGjPs6lSwp
「給你添麻煩了。」她微弱吐出道歉的話語。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikA1plFcum
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMom7Lxi0mn
一聲輕嘆，他撫上她的髮。「別這麼說。我願看顧妳一輩子，這些小事又算什麼呢？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDBOORrH0v
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRty8AdSJSN
他的溫柔讓雷齊維王子最後的一番警告又浮現於她的腦海，不由自主，眼角流出眼淚。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9KCTmJXec
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh83aKzPiDh
「不舒服？」蕭邦被她的眼淚嚇一跳，以為她身子疼，趕緊伸出手，替她擦眼淚。但是，她的淚腺卻像關不緊的水龍頭，淚水漣漣落下，怎麼擦也擦不掉。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIqUa99fg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgZTt4hB1
「弗雷德里克，這次……我又要走了。」她斷斷續續哭道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1CZGIoPC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gw1cZtFX
「什麼？」他怔住，停下右手的動作，整個人不可置信望向她。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuOSgx7LZF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e1yQ9yItt
她自己一抹眼角，把昨夜碰見雷齊維王子的事情和他說一遍。最後，又道：「弗雷德里克，當我終於知道我們的過往，還以為，我與你剩下得只有未來，沒想到……等著我們的，卻是盡頭。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQVS4bjKTa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIH60C9aJ
他沒有回應，無聲擁住她，抿緊唇，心頭宛如被利劍狠狠劃開般陣陣刺痛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6C4nIhmpv
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJOUlmWDcV
這突來的震驚讓他全身無力，也病了似瞬間變得滿面蒼白。良久後，他放開她，正想再和她說幾句，卻在這時，叩門響起，他對她交代「休息一下。」，拖無力的步伐到門口。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jPQVLkDML
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4aZKIzR9f
「弗朗茨，現在不是個來訪好時機。」他望來者，無精打采道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXcLluiV7k
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGne5F3rA5
「你看上去糟糕極了。」李斯特沒理會他的話，自他身旁的隙縫一個閃身擠入屋內。「發生什麼事？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOjvbGbfe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVNYsxsiTR
「有川生病了。」他指指臥房。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FV6hvZl6P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvJiKXtWwc
「介意我去看看她？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbtXizQuf7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeFOHp93mV
蕭邦搖首拒絕。「她現在需要休息。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJfcMSitam
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0do1xoIop4
「好吧。」李斯特用審視般的眼神看他，嘗試從他的疲倦雙眼看出一絲端倪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnxWeuxQZf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7TspHzNci
「到書房裡吧，外頭講話會吵到她。」他避開視線，逕自走入臥房對面的書房中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaDz9HXtum
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjXg3NoQME
書房裡頭空蕩蕩地，除一組桌椅與書架之外什麼都沒有，書架上也如房間一般地空盪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R5t7Q7T0Z
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC5y9sbNcH
「說吧，弗朗茨，有什麼事？」兩人各拉一把椅子，蕭邦一屁股坐下，開門見山問。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqowkR1kzqZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVunQiCe9j
他一問，李斯特立即露出微笑。「我們許久沒辦私人聚會了，我想，邀請所有人後天來我家聚一聚如何？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxviVDmv6QT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIr77KLKoJ
巴黎的音樂家們偶爾會舉辦私人的小型聚會，聚集在一塊兒，互相切磋交流。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxONR0b2Bjt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi20aNs27D
「你知道我沒辦法的……」拱起背，他垂頭嘆。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOopxoswjF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspxJU1lqdd
「你可以帶有川一併來。」李斯特鼓勵。「或許，兩天後，她的病會好許多。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHWf9LFr63
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zvQLBJy1V
「不。」他深吸一口氣，又重重吐出來，抬起頭，認真凝睇李斯特。「她要走了。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknRk0wVbWM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMjfNr0BqI
「什麼意思？」李斯特一怔。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQolcoBkyxu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiho8X1au0N
「你懂的，弗朗茨。她要離開了──就如同六年前她離開一樣、如同先前離開你的祝──」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcinnKAKeiQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGpNzQAhOc
話沒講完，霎時，李斯特神色一變，回憶的傷疤被揭開，立即快速又憤怒打斷他，狼狽低吼：「不要說了！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7aFwsPJ1j
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oa7cbB5eX
「噢。」他歉疚長嘆一聲。「原諒我！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkas2rNrppf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tXGN3aKNz
「抱歉！」李斯特也頹然一嘆。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHdI9wR5N
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Viv13A4Yh
兩人靜默起來，思緒波濤洶湧，心頭上都撩起一抹淒然──不論他們在音樂上有多高的造詣，最終，只能臣服於天命之下。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErJ6AkHVtS
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB1ntjDPoQ
「多陪陪她吧。」李斯特開口打破沉默。「最終，該走的還是會走，至少，不要像我，留下遺憾。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIdgkdnCV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UPDtxYMil
應一聲，他癱上椅子，語氣中充滿怠倦。「我覺得，有一部分的我已經開始死去，而另一半的我還活著，只是因為有川會希望我活著。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61MwyrcSUH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViGmlasnWN
李斯特露出苦笑，仰上椅背。「你會好起來的──就像我一樣，漸漸地……好起來。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5h11szEBb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XB4h7H4Cq
「你真的好嗎？」他快速問：「或者，幾年下來，弗朗茨，你只是在自欺欺人？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ585Xon5W4G
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjeNh7XM64
李斯特的動作僵住，一瞬間露出面具被揭下來的窘迫，勉強笑笑，話鋒一轉：「我想，喬治找過你了？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYigYsPTFPu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObWbILGg0S
一撇嘴，蕭邦不予置評沉下眼。「如果你說的喬治是那名男人婆──那麼，是的，她今天一早才打擾過我。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe5g9Xd6fq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UaAcTW4eS
「別這樣，弗雷德里克，喬治那日在晚宴上頭跟我說過，她極欣賞你作的曲子。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgZhcyLWC2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh6VSJ7b6D
「是的。」他點點頭，諷刺道：「她今天也是如此跟我說。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7tWyufhxr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQ1ZWjjCM
「怎麼了？明顯地，你對她有敵意？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5S4PFka27
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH3hh3UZ3i
「沒什麼──只是不善與男人婆打交道。」他毫不猶豫說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh830UgKbYZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEpZ3ns48R
「呵！」李斯特不想繼續這個話題，站起身，離開前說：「關於聚會的事情──後天，若是改變主意，隨時歡迎你來。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQAyUvGEy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3APdn2Y1M
蕭邦不感興趣答一聲「好。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoTRB4cWdZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfnknlR6wx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqAuDB6dcW
李斯特走了，而臥房內的同有川，縱然後腦勺劇烈疼痛，意識卻異常清醒。兩人在書房內的對話都給她收入耳裡。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXykEpArLr0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjtYORpq6H
待蕭邦一入房，她立即開口：「你不必拒絕李斯特先生的邀請。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2bcPsIC0H
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaxADjbbdQ
他一嘆，坐上床沿，撫摸上她的髮絲，沉默片刻，再度啟口時，語調溫柔的令人心碎。「有了妳，有什麼東西不能捨棄？有什麼東西是有必要的？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdhWXa8e4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ppFVVsQ0
「弗雷德里克，我的心情很亂。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbkBWoMCsC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J7wnRoLfc
「我懂……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhddkplLzN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNnZd0eCQJ
「後天，去參加聚會，讓我有一些時間好好思考一番。」她央求。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6xXRZG1t8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKrvNOpC9
「……我知道了。好好休息吧。」他低柔開口，替她拉上窗簾，輕聲走出臥房。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8Q2DaB3J
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lWQThAbrF
晚飯時間到了，他卻感受不到飢餓，坐在鋼琴前，擺上琴鍵的雙手失去了彈鋼琴的慾望。他回想起六年前離別的場景，心臟不由自主隱隱作痛起。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9xcAmqqS
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFLSgEU2x
長長嘆一聲，他趴上琴蓋，感覺全身的力量正漸漸流失……49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rjYy3uVs
