他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF3ex6OeA2

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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCjgADvPx

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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0fhswbeR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtaKG6i8rR
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNhq4Wgpus
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVSc0HHTc4
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHoolFtu0s
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZEbT52Awa
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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs6rqjB4Gt

他沒奈何，但只得接受。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQ5o6JcJN
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSCX6TR4Yo
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnEKpQHOWp

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！402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVcwSpuTQ

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjWzCE55zG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhjpL6RRRB
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LBBu6b3kz

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3qRmT0GDE
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTS6mIyYBb
