2157年8月5日，凌晨兩點，仙境大樓，三層548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN0lZM81dL
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbfuXqlNAn
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9LXJS3pGm
葛蕾絲、MIO、李博洋、李晴煬四人在三樓等消息，赫密士一從二樓回來，葛蕾絲立刻抓住他的肩膀，問：「怎麼樣？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUhdChzdOd
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4zZviWp9L
「小孩被高宇維救回來了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR10CRuQzd
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXkWNOTp20
赫密士閉上眼睛，「但大嫂沒有。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T7SpicC2s
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDF5GFYU6m
「……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZStg3Z0Bt
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Rx3F9AOm
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛，MIO的手鞠掉到地上，李晴煬低下頭，李博洋整個人跪到地上、自責地捶著地板。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwcc7w9fSa
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ851PjRrg1
「可惡……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbGjd8niOF
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHee2OMohap
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp9XIcXptq
如果他再強一點。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitJhWVs7Ki
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwEl9bcXW
如果他的白色空間，沒有被紅鶴搶走。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnoobPvoo7
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD6bqB7Tm8
他應該可以保護雪檸……他應該要保護雪檸的。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh9eb4gKEe
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUdL5NRIV
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSKgWhYDqM
「博洋……」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK9llvIq3r
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaI1iLhLu6
MIO走上前、正想安慰李博洋，葛蕾絲卻衝上來、一拳打在MIO的肚子上──548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhDITqEFJZ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9AOmOraNO
「磅！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH5Aww6aCA
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnu6B8jUnN
MIO整個人飛出去、撞到一邊的牆壁。所有人都嚇一跳，李晴煬從後面抓住葛蕾絲，驚恐問：「葛蕾絲姊，妳幹嘛！？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tn4kPdy4O
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UejqJhrtj
葛蕾絲把眼淚擦掉，「還不承認嗎？」並用非常恐怖的眼神，瞪著倒在地上的MIO，「大嫂被妳害死了，妳滿意了沒！？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqDSblHtJ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhNBD6Wnfe
葛蕾絲的話讓所有人瞪大眼睛，尤其是李博洋，他不敢相信地問葛蕾絲：「姊，妳這話什麼意思？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkVxsTgbH4
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnWFp6gAp
「我老早就覺得奇怪，我怎麼可能用這麼短的時間復活，一定是妳跟什麼人進行了交換！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTkRBJ2GgS
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI9AdPyIXm
葛蕾絲指著MIO，「是尼可吧！為了讓我立刻復活，代價是另一條懷特的命，我沒說錯吧！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3d7Njxfxc
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRbtPM5iN
MIO沒有否認。唯一還保持冷靜的赫密士走上前，「原來如此。」兩手插到口袋，「一命換一命的概念嗎？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWBV5VYCIo
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHLvD8Fj2
「尼可一定以為，另一條懷特的命是哥哥，但他沒想到，雪檸肚子裡的孩子也是懷特！」葛蕾絲握緊拳頭，「妳原本要拿檸檬的命『交換』。要不是宇維少爺介入，今天死的就不是雪檸，而是檸檬！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWWNacTY4O
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD8m8WHGsb
「……要拿誰的命換，不是MIO能決定的。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWxmiW17T
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6H6pDpbkG
MIO吃力地說。葛蕾絲這一拳非常痛，她必須摀著肚子，才能坐起來。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RBbZidWBg
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXNPP1hbF
「所有的規則、運作，都不是MIO控制，MIO只是實現尼可的願望。」MIO也瞪著葛蕾絲，大聲地說：「MIO並沒有錯！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZaQ4vGe2y
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLF3Q6t5mN
「如果妳有作為神與畜的自覺，」葛蕾絲大吼：「這種可能會殺死成員的『交換』，妳必須拒絕他！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLbbaZPS6R
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85zhSTKkE
「MIO就是MIO，MIO只是在實行MIO的意義！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HqathjaDa
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6PPkM3Bf
MIO站起來，反問葛蕾絲：「妳為什麼不問尼可？他作為神與畜，為什麼還要和MIO作這種『交換』？妳不怪自己的兒子，把錯都推到MIO身上，公私不分又是誰？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGKbrcO6Yf
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjxCWqLX6K
「連我都能猜到的事，妳以為我哥會不知道？他自會裁定，哪怕……哪怕哥哥要把尼可殺了，我也不能說什麼。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybOYHalWOz
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q8ooTwmha
葛蕾絲說得心很痛，她警告MIO：「妳做好心理準備，如果哥哥連尼可都殺了，他也不會放過妳！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNjYqUYokg
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHrJJsuQtO
「MIO不怕死。」MIO瞇起眼睛，「打從遇到博洋的那天，MIO就不在乎自己的生死。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg8XwpJEAm
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ9AHQXAAr
葛蕾絲要繼續說，卻被赫密士從後面踹了後膝蓋，害她用非常不帥的姿勢跌到地上。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3fpwwueRB
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAeUIiS73W
「都什麼時候了還在吵架妳們煩不煩啊？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPcpLtqvt1
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97E1Yip9y9
赫密士說，視線由上而下，叫她的名字：「MIO。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEqpUgWdRv
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAppYDUIUl
「……？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89sBekvUK
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmp7zRH0ar
「我從以前就無法信任妳妳知道為什麼嗎？」赫密士冷冷地說：「因為妳是NAGI的女兒。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8q3IDMO3
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq0TAUPgq9
「媽媽？」聽到關鍵字的MIO蹙起眉頭，「跟媽媽有什麼關係？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgykz7CgYx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaa0qIMXYb
「妳果然什麼都不知道。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbw2lCjISz
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLBBNAWVg2
赫密士放慢語速。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenj4SVw9RK
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZUmnplKGQ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8puRTzuDQ
「第一代水果塔，有三個被視為異端的存在：第一個是蜘蛛，第二個是怪物，第三個就是妳母親。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoCQP98vTQ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytdeyCDKx
「當初高宇維要收妳，我極力反對，但他堅持妳什麼都不知道。沒錯，妳真的對自己的母親一無所知。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWkXv1GlR
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbSwaprabN
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDUZAsmT6y
赫密士看著MIO。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjORa5k9YhC
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8szgU6Ul2O
「儘管如此，妳和妳母親非常相似。不服從規矩、搞不清楚狀況、亂用水果塔，甚至，妳蒐集有關強暴的新聞，都是受到妳母親影響，因為她就是在那樣的狀況下，把女兒生下來的。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EkjnB9HeM
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSIAlpIs5d
赫密士突然轉頭，問李晴煬：「你說她的『聲音』是什麼？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMtFdE07oS
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScX8ZpTEE
「啊？」太突然了，李晴煬沒反應過來。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHG3DKxfw
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGFmZV50kV
「你不是能聽到大家害怕的聲音嗎？」赫密士額頭爆青筋，「MIO的是什麼？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zF5oOP5L
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjCjvRtXun
李晴煬終於反應過來。他在心裡罵赫密士，講得不清不楚，要人怎麼立刻回答？548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXRQOQUzV
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N0TY9JHR6
「鈴鐺。」李晴煬告訴赫密士：「『叮鈴鈴』的鈴鐺聲。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZUUffHbbN
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO2MNrw3dE
「鈴……鐺？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyqdbFoN0y
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62dD1Ul3lH
MIO眨眼，連她自己也不知道為什麼；另一邊的赫密士卻發笑，彎腰，與MIO平視。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxzmuCo6w
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzWwIfGHgU
「妳說妳不怕死，是嗎？那我告訴妳一件比死更可怕的事。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVjOyZhPy
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0cIZWJJjL
赫密士伸出一根手指，點在MIO的額頭上。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrTbohHU7D
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv8wfHO8gc
「妳母親，是被人殺死的。」赫密士微笑，「妳還記得嗎？被身上戴鈴鐺的人，打到半死不活。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzhc6ZNWl
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4CarWRv4O
「……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXLiRqZOr8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC07Riaoj1
MIO好像想起了什麼。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfbiTMQKR
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbbB7TV8y7
黑色的人闖入家中，媽媽把她關在浴室。隔著一道門，媽媽的叫聲、鈴鐺的震動聲、骨頭的斷裂聲……媽媽的血從門縫流進來。她害怕地躲在牆角，直到──548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQSsqPZxa
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ66MXCoO4
「再告訴妳一件事。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ifIOrxpzO
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNPJ7AcaPf
赫密士走到MIO後面，硬是把她的頭，轉向李博洋與李晴煬兩兄弟。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLZuX6GMYu
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUZ4JXwOT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagOav3mu0I
「那個戴鈴鐺的人，就是李仲翔。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGvmn34i9c
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXpDzCcLeg
「為什麼讓博洋當妳的嚮導──」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxekJrIVx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd3VmKcmsY
「因為高宇維不想讓妳報仇，就是這麼簡單。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQETNULeXQr
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJkpzr3vTA
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbwhIeLsZ
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RX33xxSzo
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2M9vqDBn0
MIO空洞的眼睛凝視著李博洋。她沒有哭，也沒有鬧，持續這樣的狀態十秒，才低下頭、一個人跑離客廳。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH8FmQ3IUs
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzx2QiUoeJ
「喂，赫密士！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfoe5Mbjii
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5l0aQCKqh
MIO一離開，李晴煬立刻問，口氣很不高興，「你沒事提這幹嘛？刺激MIO造反嗎？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9n5dRDetv
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJK2rrs57
「你太小看她對李博洋的愛了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwsIjjacu0
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DeHPd8HH0
赫密士恢復平常的語速，「造反倒不至於我只是要她享受這份煎熬畢竟她真的做錯了事。」他吸了一口菸，「而且你不是讀心術達人嗎如果她想造反你一定事先就會知道。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDuNUjPeC8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BEd0ei7o4
「本大爺又不能隨便拿耳機！」李晴煬反駁。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC70TH6Y3m
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RptjdVxf5
「放心經過雪檸這件事高宇維遲早會允許你拿。」赫密士說：「我們人越來越多為了確保上下一條心一定會需要一個糾察隊那個人肯定就是你了啊啊竟然要被你這種人竊聽想想也真不爽。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L3INPMfgx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSEVBM662Y
李晴煬不知道該回應什麼。監聽自己人，如果是高宇維希望的，他當然會毫不猶豫去做，只是難免覺得諷刺。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6kf4G0yP9
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZd8X53YB5
他看向哥哥。李博洋的臉色很差，雪檸的死訊已經讓他很難過，赫密士又來這招、挑撥他和MIO的關係。李晴煬第一次覺得哥哥可憐，他走上前，拍了拍哥哥的肩膀。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdz9Plo5l8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaTr7bIck4
「……抱歉，弟弟，我有點累。」李博洋低頭，「我先回房間了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XdGFnWsf
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyrA1hGnS
「你那鬼房間最好能休息。」李晴煬乾脆地說：「去我房間吧，本大爺帶你過去。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejvYVfLmtO
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1m9nXrQv0
「謝謝……」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldDUfdhvrG
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXaHfkgbw
李博洋真的累了。簡單和大家說過晚安，李晴煬便帶李博洋離開。也在這時，赫密士告訴葛蕾絲：「妳也去休息吧。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLzr25fCT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN8gpUKRgM
「我要等尼可。」葛蕾絲頓了頓，「……如果他還活著。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjr9gAKMb7
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2YW3DIctX
「那我先下去了。」赫密士呿了一聲，「有個白痴為了救小孩把自己的手弄斷我得去看看。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSDALDzsWI
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBpC5ZIbNk
說完，赫密士離開。背影雖然很不情願，但那股「這是我的責任」的使命感，讓葛蕾絲很是欣慰。相較之下，他兒子真是太不成熟了。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIlb5NnYgX
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPcL948cfy
雪檸的死，帶給里奧很大的打擊；加上那個嬰兒，要是傳到十大家族耳裡，肯定會變成各方野心家的目標。未來的神與畜，必須一邊確保檸檬的安全，一邊平定反高派的勢力，還要提防紅鶴……他們需要優秀的成員加入。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8u9u5Ua8
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3QDxWiJkf
所以，里奧應該不會殺死尼可拉斯……吧？548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6RP1rMMd0
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQwEyodgCh
葛蕾絲坐在沙發，雙手合十，只能在心裡祈禱了。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhh35FeRqZ

548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ofngbtpqS
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITpNlU85G
檸檬已經睡著了。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr5SHWSP9B
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhFnZE6IA
嬰兒真的好小、好脆弱。抱著手中的小生命，尼可拉斯終於意識到，自己做了多麼殘忍的事。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cVTZZPCIU
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBz6BwIaQN
雪檸已經被安置在冰櫃，里奧還在醫務室外。汗從尼可拉斯的額頭流下來──他知道，這是他的罪、他的報應，他遲早得去面對。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6lBXRb4M1
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6enxPlSJ
所以他走過去。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAFbu8RKl1
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4i3n2q2Ou
抱著妹妹，來到妹妹的親身父親旁，親手交給他。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WHTtuQ0qr
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKvI6Pvexy
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cBlACXCJe
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeznwRQIiWe
里奧沒有說話，默默接過檸檬、凝視她的臉。空氣凝重得像冰塊，尼可拉斯覺得自己快要窒息。他想打破沉默，然而，才剛開口，里奧那雙琉璃色的眼睛瞥了過來，嚇得他當場閉嘴、屏住呼吸。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0uLWb7Ai0
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fkifBuzS2
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPN2snGLrB
會死。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6otf77aHi
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt36KfKVGNH
真的會死。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fVkeGRdpM
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfvbwQ1fJ
他不會輕易原諒。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtgJD7ewto
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCP0WiMZpn
也沒有理由原諒。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ve8ZF7XB
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSkAwcmzg
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3KuO5x41
「對…對不起……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0El8F5opT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7EaL6AAn8
因為害怕、因為愧疚、因為悲傷……尼可拉斯的眼淚流下來。他整個人跪在里奧面前，哭著顫抖。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDV1tf1xa
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfuOE50ezq
「對不起……我知道你沒有理由原諒我，可是……對不起……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYtu18HeHc
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ERGPsoRRy
想到雪檸，想到他剛出生的妹妹……尼可拉斯的眼淚停不下來，全部落在醫務室的地上。他已經做好死的覺悟。里奧想怎麼殺他都行，他不會反抗。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B96qFUNSg
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2uf89Wngl
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3pDJwJs3a
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCGfUtjMj4
里奧不生氣嗎？他當然生氣。只要願意，他隨時都能替雪檸報仇。殺死尼可拉斯就像捏死螞蟻，對里奧來說輕而易舉。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2CQFHseG2
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgc2naV4d

不，那沒有意義。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6WAugEF0
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqR6Ods38
殺了尼可，然後呢？是不是也要殺了MIO？多死兩個人，無法改變雪檸已死的事實，何況追根究柢，該死的人不是他們。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxzMNmIX9w
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdedUD337
是紅鶴。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdswTFHDrSg

讓悲劇發生的是那傢伙。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8AuMLduRu

「……？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3MosoSYus
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0w0m5O7qN
一聲小小的呻吟突然傳來。里奧低頭，似是感覺到爸爸的視線，檸檬竟然醒過來，一雙漂亮的琉璃色緩緩睜開，清澈的眼睛與里奧四目相接。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBckLG6XUzN

548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X0zeicFXL
一雙大手突然放到尼可拉斯頭上。尼可拉斯抬頭，戾氣從里奧的臉上消失，他變回面無表情的臉，淡淡說了句：「坐吧。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMkzzAn7m
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qv1KlUD6n
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX181ypJwyj

尼可拉斯不敢動作。里奧用眼神示意旁邊的位子，「坐，我很多事要問你。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9CrLve8rp
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYEsXTDHRY
再拒絕就不像話了。尼可拉斯乖乖從地上起來、坐到里奧旁邊。正當他不知道該說什麼時，里奧突然問：「小孩應該幾號出生？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5WYEMElXK
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvudG60ZIHY
尼可拉斯嚇一跳，沒想到第一個問題是這個。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc9458ZFsn

檸檬的時間被高宇維提早七個月，尼可拉斯算了算，「明年四月。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AQtNDDP70

尼可拉斯緊緊抓著自己的衣襬。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhd4M4kTk
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4akq9qU0DL
「李博洋說的沒錯，我一直用媽媽的死，來合理化自己的不幸。以為用受害者的立場，就能把錯都推給別人、從來不檢討自己；李晴煬都走出來了，相較之下，我真的很差勁。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKnfcueVx
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOt9yjQ2r
「所以希望葛蕾絲回來？」里奧問。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDGJJq7oI
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiKQoc0oT0
「沒錯，還有……」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1e2N7of2H
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwgGV9QxRH
尼可拉斯的表情很掙扎，最後，還是決定說出來──548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKAX89t87M
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E1Rtpkqxq
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmnDRYp6l
「我發現，自己喜歡的是男生。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1x2xUU33
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXzEKJVncj
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGW5dkpE4K
「……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8n7WKKgQ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q3SJ7cWnO
看尼可拉斯的表情就知道，他真的鼓起很大的勇氣、才敢說出這件事。里奧承認他嚇到了。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9TYxFUPF
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk0i2oPIpf
「我最近常夢到奇怪的夢，那讓我很……害怕。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I0kWQUFyB
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiDpbfYwOq
尼可拉斯的聲音在抖。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzbh1wqUHH
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNMWCb02Rg
「我不知道自己怎麼了……感覺身體不是自己的。明明醫學上是很正常的現象，但我當下真的……不知所措，覺得自己很不正常、很恐怖……！」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrfSDb4aWk
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutOBHkgrIK
第一個告訴的人竟然是里奧。尼可拉斯又哭了。他摀著口鼻，努力不發出哭聲；另一方面，里奧終於理解，為什麼尼可拉斯無論如何，都希望葛蕾絲回來。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlumCsb3kvn
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMroFPxOP
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1iMCuJAsN
尼可拉斯也是孩子。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY5V5ES29x
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBGtRcf1W
雖然外表、知識超齡，但他只有十七歲。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lSMAzpe2g
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNlmfKgwL
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pbcbG4ue3
里奧回想：自己十七歲時，身邊有什麼人？樂觀開朗的妹妹，令人尊敬的父親；再隔一年，他認識了高宇維，兩人從此形影不離。年輕的里奧並不孤獨，不知寂寞為何物；反觀尼可拉斯，葛蕾絲死後，他始終只有自己。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkBYPVv380
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjm380HIVB
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97XyYErIx1
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjabQ3w9Ie
里奧把手放到尼可拉斯頭上。那一瞬間，尼可拉斯忍不住，像個孩子一樣大哭起來。里奧．懷特也是他的家人──尼可拉斯終於在心裡，承認這一點。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ovwsDU1VW
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfMvIlCtf
「啊。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0GUjFyWD
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGNHAmg0rq
突然，檸檬叫了一聲，里奧和尼可拉斯都嚇一跳。循著視線，她正在看尼可拉斯，好像在叫他不要哭；尼可拉斯的眼淚，確實也嚇到縮回去。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3goy1TMU0Q
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMLrQNi2MQ
「……我一直以為睫毛影是商人的噱頭，沒想到是真的。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRmweFIiQ
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQHvDTGxG
尼可拉斯看著檸檬的眼睛，忍不住讚嘆：「她好漂亮。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mr9t08i6
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDhwoAnSow
「像媽媽。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6pfqqcvy
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWDw4vEX3
里奧用手指逗了逗檸檬。爸爸沒表情，女兒也沒表情，尼可拉斯不知道怎麼形容，那畫面很怪異。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTpiyeXYkq
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqjAy02SwT
「……尼可。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb18oknn4P
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZtCrgfgK
里奧突然抬頭，跟尼可拉斯說：「我不在，安琪都交給你。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM082QuGIS
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajiUcPgzs
「咦？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijVTENY1X
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTIUH22bK
「葛蕾絲回來，就會跟我行動，我和她會常常不在。你是醫生，宇維不會派太多外出任務，交給你最合適。」里奧說。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqC8XuYtuy
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mt73EyTD8
「不，這不對吧？我最不適合照顧她，畢竟我……！」尼可拉斯看著檸檬，「我不配當她的哥哥，她應該要恨我。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ544Xw0Vsuf
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxF9d4ggpC
里奧明白，但他告訴尼可拉斯：「你要她恨你，我不介意，這跟照顧她不衝突，你是哥哥。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZasNhC60G
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5CWQUHdRS
「……。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZzrm6WvaR
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfQIrEPogT
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gQKuUW75J
「討厭的哥哥」。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDG0uNHlYD
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5ESSLWcD
尼可拉斯腦中，閃過這個身分。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ikt00mwB
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYuQOJWoj6
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCyFwU8c0L
「……我明白了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3lUVngQi7
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmT2jbzDpx
尼可拉斯擦掉眼淚、擦掉淚痕，跟里奧保證：548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LILdB8un4
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWm8xYwDpT
「我會負責教她，讓她變成最出色的人……要是遇到李晴煬那種渣男，包準檸檬能在三秒內，把他打成太監。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWIWR16C3
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N8wfVyRBt
聽到尼可拉斯罵人，里奧知道他的情緒大致平復。他總算解開和尼可拉斯的心結，今後的尼可拉斯也不再拘泥過往。為了雪檸，為了檸檬，為了懷特……他這輩子將奉獻給神與畜。他已經長大，也將帶著這份罪惡感，活下去。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Rq7dkmbe
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCcLrA5K2b
「對了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzedLVvNZV
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gZkSs0Uok
尼可拉斯想到什麼，尷尬地問：「我以後，要叫你舅舅嗎？」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMivZVU0Uz
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFVKFX373J
難以言喻的怪異感，里奧整個雞皮疙瘩都起來。他搖頭，「不接受，太老了。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzSGin3yEf
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKwqjPQS9f
你確實活了很久啊。尼可拉斯心想。要不是高宇維暫停他的時間，現在的里奧應該是具骷髏。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbKeK7jeuP
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz7HO4z8au
不過，尼可拉斯也不叫雪檸「舅媽」，是叫大嫂；那麼，對里奧如果不用那個稱呼，對雪檸太不公平了。548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVJSQ8Xsh
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk78yrScwgo
「以後，還能像這樣聊天嗎？」尼可拉斯終於說出那四個字：「里奧大哥。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg0dUZ62w
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzLnodE9xk
「隨時歡迎。」548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyLPsVBSUp
548Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2UR71wVMv
說完，里奧低頭，發現檸檬又睡著了。她睡得很熟，似乎，幫忙解決爸爸和哥哥的問題，真的很累。8964 copyright protection544ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQEP2dovV 維尼
