他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtQQk8X7jZ

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。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hA2Q3QaMx

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。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAxQR7x46N
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJJTQITjoD
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UiNrKzEye
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY65th7PIrY
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHYFiN9hVu
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXWzbVUwnh
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。」322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lCGBOObw
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBII00FqUNF
他沒奈何，但只得接受。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIPf15fDZV
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NtFyYa9OH
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。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpahswRuua

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！322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdepK4TgQK
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrBuluQ4zz
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnf1V0p1cN
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YAdLHjsj3
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。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyAXwSRMmp

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFmtEd8WeE

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06kGz9DJb

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcP1qE4pG5
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bcNGjJyCm
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。322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMLOiTUGg9
