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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQGXHpVL6
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6SktiANy5
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1MESYRpZp
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOY3HBeo9b
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89iWYavIrm
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3VUG1p1c
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxvlo1YjKk
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMrNxwsIpr
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitsc8lbfmB
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT2AtGuoWQ
「小姐，請妳現在離開。」裡頭，蕭邦帶不悅的語氣說。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuLun7OQND
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMZnjhhUpR
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32FeN5dxSc
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzpsyh9t6V
疲倦間，她認出那是喬治‧桑的聲音。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25Pwhwsz3
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡineJOAOMEN
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cgpBtmE4a
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs62NxsIua
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfo3ybWaH
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHi3fPt6ym
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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGGom6SnaE
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUz4NkNlPp
說罷，她轉身與同有川擦肩而過，大步走下樓梯。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7qPpqse8V
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8JQLWl88x
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEnlYcBVmi
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SSYnlOX1A
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKGK6IK20y
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRKV2kKR1A
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jQY8jo0rw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYYN4ZnYWs
「給你添麻煩了。」她微弱吐出道歉的話語。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGsZIx31T
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsr5A4FFrb
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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgz6bf3fNZ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjdBvljuTo
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VrXvGPnY
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOt2w6jDwY
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaskRJJs2s
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ9fSj9lDu
「弗雷德里克，這次……我又要走了。」她斷斷續續哭道。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgR4T982Gn
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuG83ZEj1m
「什麼？」他怔住，停下右手的動作，整個人不可置信望向她。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgeEf80RT
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkXuM7PwlI
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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtwYDvS60
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVgmvt4buf
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOekMKEWKjO
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Cro5SvDt
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdHtKgkTHa
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzqk4alwx
「弗朗茨，現在不是個來訪好時機。」他望來者，無精打采道。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfa642ffZw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHUzdQM4uN
「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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdhwoj5jSy
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgNbTBRE1
「有川生病了。」他指指臥房。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNB7SVBZTM
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJe2JjuEVc
「介意我去看看她？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpTHVtrWiT
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD3rzL3RdK
蕭邦搖首拒絕。「她現在需要休息。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZYel28OOL
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCjdLLsAna
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0RBwt1qQ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV115U6JEb
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNIHndy6da
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpEcyngUA
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4V1JCRuzU
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFVbLpZ2W9
「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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdOTOKvMTH
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeNjXDXPHI
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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Osq8w88eL
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMxbKoAnvZ
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmm9hbTDTC
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYKDGoUoJ3
「你知道我沒辦法的……」拱起背，他垂頭嘆。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiscQYnta7i
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptxXBVL31
「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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6RXTtVCR
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KdrmltSPq
「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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEpni1PK3l
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3oKkcAFh
「什麼意思？」李斯特一怔。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47vkPDD53r
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdJ6McYl5
「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──」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6i19Cjikh
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx014On0BcV
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！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS3idkRksC
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbMZCJ7tFQ
「噢。」他歉疚長嘆一聲。「原諒我！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFpvYGZlP
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG6y1D4iOF
「抱歉！」李斯特也頹然一嘆。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9b5i5siTS
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm3Wwhwxyc
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BS9eoALUe
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeY1VO5cz4
「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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8224Pv8Qt
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonFBTUQ6G
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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcmsem1B0
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOnDqLzsxZ
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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOh1n0iOZU
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ2JEHc4RB
「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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0B04F6xP0
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9hS3N2JNs
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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa6qsyLNO4
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyphoyY5O
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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oN0CXa7LU
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgJYZcqzem
「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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfhOSgOiEW
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM8jw0p46m
「是的。」他點點頭，諷刺道：「她今天也是如此跟我說。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XzyJTbMA
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF2ykG18XE
「怎麼了？明顯地，你對她有敵意？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28LmpyuDQ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOkeBsb3F
「沒什麼──只是不善與男人婆打交道。」他毫不猶豫說。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlwXF56Gda
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCiqkFYjmc
「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。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2eQHUHEsw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0IBfR5fI
蕭邦不感興趣答一聲「好。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKrb1aJTzY
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFDRvFLug
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJWl4vTAk
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKWxGGbIw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNDbDxmnfP
待蕭邦一入房，她立即開口：「你不必拒絕李斯特先生的邀請。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoeIlJ9tYw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcglAgSkug
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？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiUHzsP2DB
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45VJbJn4c
「弗雷德里克，我的心情很亂。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcEc8Gr2Yw
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb03paqNvX
「我懂……」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6T8DZOW7R
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxgK8bRaR8
「後天，去參加聚會，讓我有一些時間好好思考一番。」她央求。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYwPYiCyrO
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLdUdlW3pK
「……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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwnps6C26i
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDTr5IA2w4
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。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x8EBS8kf0
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SQennYElH
長長嘆一聲，他趴上琴蓋，感覺全身的力量正漸漸流失……54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2nW2uberX
