他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfld4XfZ6z

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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3rLgOFMaT

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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGo721MEXB

諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjyaHtsSre
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs50K9oK5G
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExYPdX00Vu
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDCOGywSpq
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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldtrECrwwu

他沒奈何，但只得接受。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2FCyMorWa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpL7JNzy28
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCsqUjbZEc

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！383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdNwoWqvSl

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBirQQ8LJ8

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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2fOde1Alo

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSTrqC65qM
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3N7fpFCpG
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRScFgqdUla
