他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDTHFHSeN

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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD65dvn4n6I

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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bVwUwRZ0b

諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpX8ORVVvY
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQflHlnvdq
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxP1tSQDU
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCw3NdSJeM
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。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJL7QiTNgD

他沒奈何，但只得接受。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbA2th2BCP
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtHeEPwUt7
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDniUI5ZVo

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！392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxkEp0eMe

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgUCphpaQj
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG21w7C47vw
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36QVr6INz

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS2SyhAgqw

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjmmialVw4
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFoSUYb4Ut
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4maPzOMwoA
