他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF51CsasfM

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。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlyyGGdKIa

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。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwEFj2slvJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfSkAHlRl
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YGH0b5nzL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiS1MaVn0O
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHMtP7ZR9m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNZVXgRje
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。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZvfLtquV

他沒奈何，但只得接受。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rmr0Urw8A
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII5MffbVZI
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。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08VpmXona5

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！357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjg20JuOKi

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2TXgZt1Rm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhsfTqXJ8d
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。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9lj45v2My

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGlTjX61W

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOud1rghJe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgqb1s4q9U
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。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52pYgxyBrd
