2157年9月9日，早上七點半，商業中心B區，咆哮飯店668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfkrgwkDnI
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi2GRGsT7U
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwhJxVIAzb
尼可拉斯腦子一片空白。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXCufiHmO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02JvIWUX2C
葛蕾絲怎麼找到他的？668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCasLfCLHCu
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTKhUTS8XV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuipgMbqxrS
他冷靜想……戒指，沒錯，尼可拉斯看著左手的神與畜戒指。這個東西內建定位系統，他竟然忘記這麼重要的……但他明明打過電話，葛蕾絲為什麼還要跑來？難不成……派翠克被發現了？668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWwWpnWlP
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UFgGwO9yH
不，尼可拉斯強迫自己冷靜。葛蕾絲只是來確認自己的行蹤……媽媽最愛操心了，不是嗎？別想太多。尼可拉斯重整呼吸，變回平常的厭世表情，打開門。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mfjF1ton
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSvvzWJAbA
「寶貝早安！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUZssJr7BY
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHvScPiag
葛蕾絲和平常一樣有精神。尼可拉斯裝出不耐煩的表情，「我說我需要休息。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW8sIqan2K
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4LCaMqLrg
「哎，你出去得太突然，媽媽很擔心嘛！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOVkxi8zfr
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIniM0mDiP
葛蕾絲不請自入。尼可拉斯手心冒汗，祈禱派翠克不要突然出來，否則一切完蛋。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S9rboXtnT
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSrOd8o7Jm
「看到定位時，我嚇了一跳，你哪來的錢住咆哮飯店？」葛蕾絲環視一圈，玩著客廳的擺飾。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho5YHGz8j6
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKylqguovpp
「原本是希波克拉底的醫生在住，我把他弄暈了。」尼可拉斯一半實話，「達米安．帕潘德里歐。媽對這名字有印象嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSLxFVakBG
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdu6eOD4WA
「當然，他以前常來請教你爸。」葛蕾絲想起來，「寶貝，你和你爸發生什麼事？吵架了嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctNhB9xwLA
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61sP5fhiDi
尼可拉斯覺得很煩，最近話題老是扯到爸爸，「對。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmDy2aZyi
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdEH4TT8QD
「為什麼？」葛蕾絲走到面前，抬頭看他。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhq0igAM35
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0dwQEJG8
「妳死了，他一滴眼淚都沒掉。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnTSH9pOc
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmxatLyVD
葛蕾絲不意外，這讓尼可拉斯更生氣。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk90RQuGLy8
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiHf8Nw9dZ
「媽，我知道妳很愛他。」尼可拉斯直接說：「但我覺得他不是。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwlgpGA8h
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJACF38tjH
「尼可，別誤會你爸，他只是在你看不到的地方掉淚。」葛蕾絲露出複雜的笑容，「而且，他知道我會回來。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ujuw5agP7
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvn6yHlZMV
尼可拉斯不懂葛蕾絲的意思、正要追問，葛蕾絲卻走向房門，尼可拉斯擋到她面前，「不要過去！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbY6BGA6bu
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DkdzQYEw
葛蕾絲挑眉，尼可拉斯的反應讓她懷疑，「為什麼？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSuCNS78f
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJtyyjuz1h
「因為……」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1NM39c80e
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdeDPQtxEv
尼可拉斯想不到該撒什麼謊。身為里奧的妹妹，葛蕾絲見過的場面不比哥哥少，在某些方面的直覺也很準。她直覺尼可拉斯有事瞞著自己，臉上的笑容瞬間消失。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfb53OmCY4
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqIaJVxUa
「……。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkqUD5GnGp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7i7kLW4hr
葛蕾絲的臉好像矇上一層陰影。她伸手要抓門把，尼可拉斯提前抓住她的手腕，這個舉動觸怒了葛蕾絲。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXI4S3ZYDk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwJLieV64
「寶貝。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeookCbYuY2
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH8Kx0pMdi
葛蕾絲沒有轉頭，只有眼珠轉到尼可拉斯的方向，問：「裡面有什麼？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdihrcqgYKY
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNC1z7wrLO
「……。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu11jWfw56
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmXkTrnGz
「不能給我看的東西？」葛蕾絲又叫一次：「寶貝？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz7MXw6WLD
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ6NgOwU5a
尼可拉斯的心臟快爆了。他什麼也沒想，隨便亂說：「沒有一個兒子希望一夜情後的房間，被媽媽看到。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1VX8UpXmy
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLcGZAWt6
這是尼可拉斯臨時想到的謊，沒想到非常有用，葛蕾絲恐怖的表情瞬間消失。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DXtQg3WWk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqCdgALdh
「噢。」葛蕾絲恍然大悟，「裡面……很亂嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9zfLD8I6B
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rYnXZQR8
「對，我還沒整理。」明明不是真的，尼可拉斯卻尷尬得要死，想找面牆撞死自己。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoan12F2yn
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySy1Z886T
葛蕾絲瞄向房門，「對方還在裡面？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtveIoAwTo
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtzZdE6eRE
尼可拉斯點頭。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXOOilcu9
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7iWxjwvcq
「啊哈……啊哈哈哈！抱歉抱歉！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUPHDJFis
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E5j4G6E42
葛蕾絲立刻把手收回，退開三公尺。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXx5B59fuk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzHGvpKStv
「我沒想到是這種情況……也對，我老停留在死掉前的記憶、以為你還是小孩，你早在我不知道的時候長大了，哈哈哈。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RfZS064u
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSUlYIf6ZU
雖然在笑，葛蕾絲卻有點心酸，覺得自己錯過尼可拉斯好多，加上她的丈夫不會照顧人，尼可拉斯從被迫獨立到習慣孤獨，過程流過許多眼淚，沒有一個母親希望孩子這樣長大。大家說十七歲的尼可拉斯成熟，葛蕾絲不覺得是稱讚，反而像在責備她為人母親、十分失職。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1bArBuvf8
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETf1wqCX72
「他什麼時候醒來？」葛蕾絲收起心情，用平常的口氣問尼可拉斯。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn8h1OXsyq
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEQUChzfr8
「八點。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OXdYj2ylq
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9gqG9gwF
已經五十五分了，葛蕾絲決定閃人，畢竟她的外表實在不像媽媽，怕引起不必要的誤會。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1wFRfZnD
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k2MnZp31F
「對了，」葛蕾絲想到什麼，邊穿鞋邊問：「他是男生嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLac849ZdT
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWPlULMwM
尼可拉斯挑眉，簡直尷尬癌末期，「不然呢？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7SKcHcNKz
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxYEgnmsPC
「確認一下嘛，嘿嘿。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGl1jqeAOx
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxxGiOo2h6
穿完鞋，叮嚀「飯要好好吃」之類的話後，葛蕾絲便離開。尼可拉斯聽腳步聲、巡視走廊三圈，確定葛蕾絲不在後才放下心，整個人癱軟在沙發上。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8sRN74pxb
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFv4vDfk0C
太可怕了。尼可拉斯心想。他第一次看到媽媽露出那種表情。要是讓葛蕾絲看到派翠克，她會做出什麼事？直接殺了他嗎？668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg1SMGIcEo
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXOHByOIpU
尼可拉斯以為葛蕾絲很溫柔，直到剛剛。人們容易被她開朗的個性迷惑，卻忘記她是里奧的妹妹、流著懷特的血脈。里奧為了高宇維不擇手段，葛蕾絲何嘗不是如此？668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXxbwkXIQ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kN5aHHuk1
葛蕾絲復活，和尼可拉斯的關係混雜了神與畜、高宇維、艾莉絲體系，母子倆的身分已不如從前單純。儘管他不願意，尼可拉斯得重新評估媽媽與自己的立場，之後要小心行事。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDuGG0ao5Q
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ141WLvFp2w
「尼可。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzqlggs6Q
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniCoVEkpNi
思考到一半，派翠克突然從房間走出來。他穿著一件開襟的寬鬆襯衫，頭髮沒綁，任憑那一綹一綹藍色披散在胸前，畫面好看到尼可拉斯以為是夢。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSYY8Wfq9Y
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cfkh4rq0Y
「快去換衣服。」尼可拉斯假裝什麼也沒發生，一本正經說：「差不多要出發了。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnHQ3lGG4
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0HIJsLxWC
派翠克站在原地。尼可拉斯正要重複剛才的話，派翠克就說：「我全部看到了。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFaht1hLGU
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYsJmRQKdw
「……！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAftd6PGPV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQIqI07nlf
他說看，不是聽。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEWc3nSBqU
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kv9WmYbor
「以免奇怪的人闖進來，我在客廳裝了監視器。」派翠克亮出手機，螢幕顯示監視鏡頭，「剛才那是里奧．懷特的妹妹，是嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gq7ihH0Y4
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo65YhoUL6
尼可拉斯正要解釋，派翠克卻打斷他，說：668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgLWLYu29P
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuKz8ITFV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkcCUa4CJX
「我想，你不只是希波克拉底的醫生，也是神與畜吧？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6RUDIC1ix
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnU1j1gYD6
「畢竟你是葛蕾絲．懷特與凱薩．克里斯托多羅普洛斯（Caesar Christodoulopoulos）的兒子。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOmtEifYF
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTj0cUw5Xv
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhE3PEq7g
「……！？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaVkoZEUBL
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNEV17zqu
為什麼派翠克知道父親的名字？尼可拉斯不明白，最壞的情形正在發生，派翠克發現他是神與畜了。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoBya6Ivl0
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4QTjMx7Gd
「所以，」尼可拉斯沒在怕，直接問：「你要殺我，用你的毒？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSuAoUElJK
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoOjQo5a7b
派翠克搖頭，「你是神與畜，卻沒有讓葛蕾絲．懷特開門，證明你是站在我這邊的。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYk6Cd6RNH
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nrnHsE7G5
派翠克的心情很平靜，確實，尼可拉斯也沒感覺到敵意。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXDykkzj0
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ0uvodNO0
「剛才的對話讓我確定，高宇維什麼都沒告訴你。」派翠克說：「這出乎我預料，沒想到高宇維連自己人都不相信。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjn3y8fd4m
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMSJk1kW2
這話戳中尼可拉斯內心。對於高宇維、神與畜、自己的天賦，他腦中有太多疑問，派翠克又能替他解答，尼可拉斯索性問了：「你聽過『共鳴』嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJN8laVnm
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRuDthgIa
派翠克點頭。尼可拉斯直言：「我向來不主動親近人，也不把外人的事當自己的事，但我的潛意識非常相信你，也非常想保護你，你應該是我的共鳴對象──儘管這一切十分荒謬。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivWcpK1s9
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8abGnnDZNf
尼可拉斯的理性與感覺在打架。他不相信科學無法解釋的事物，卻無法否認它們造成的影響。他反問派翠克：「你也是這樣嗎？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UAepxVJIs
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgQHjCxxgs
「嗯。」派翠克表示：「我也相信你。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbjyb6e4RI
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2xjpraNfT
「那，我們之間就不需要隱瞞。」尼可拉斯說：「你已經知道我的真實身分，也依然願意相信我；同理，你被宇維少爺追殺的原因，我也希望你坦白，這樣我才能說服自己，去相信這個『共鳴』。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiznERHEWJj
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLWV6eFJid
尼可拉斯第一次這麼心平氣和地說話，他對派翠克的耐心，真是前所未見。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tT6zMH0iU
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEuB30kwny
派翠克被尼可拉斯說服了。他的腦袋沒有尼可拉斯複雜，既定的事實已經擺在面前、他就是相信尼可拉斯，不會去思考為什麼，相信就是相信。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPXDqyfTl0
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLlWgMvUsW
「接著。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2JsijbhHV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhqUkTKwur
下一秒，派翠克把手機扔給尼可拉斯。手機顯示一張照片，一名黑色長髮、戴著眼鏡、長著雀斑、臉頰圓潤的女人對著鏡頭靦腆地笑，看起來乖乖的，沒什麼令人印象深刻的地方，很不起眼。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2m5h7d0Vh
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTavQD90w
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhwfYE0MS
「上面的人是我。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd4EzhgT5C
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNzMX27nzv
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA3l0HRwm9
派翠克的話讓尼可拉斯嚇一大跳。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGwWwNVrBt
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMlL4ADbT
「我以前的名字是派翠西亞（Patricia）。」派翠克坐到尼可拉斯旁邊，「是雷蒙一家，最不起眼的孩子。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt8ytA0S1j
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyhBZjiCXH
尼可拉斯無法相信，現在的派翠克和以前的派翠西亞，兩者的差異無法用變性、整容之類的手術形容，根本是「變了個人」。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUOQHan1WN
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WhwhRznY
為什麼會這樣？尼可拉斯看著派翠克那張與紅鶴一模一樣的臉，回想之前的對話，「莫非……！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxW6uABsh
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMnZPfUad3
「沒錯，就是白絃姊。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwXpcnvau
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNamC0CKxog
派翠克摸著自己的臉。雖然帶來不少麻煩，但派翠克很喜歡這張臉，他對自己現在的外表很滿意。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJLBvcR4jU
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxSIHeaEk0
「我跟她說我要變成男孩──一個非常漂亮的男孩。白絃姊對『漂亮男孩』的印象，似乎只有她弟弟紅鶴，就把我變成這個樣子了。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyON0UTKZW
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1YVDQPEK
派翠克微笑，「另外，我以前是普通人，『蜜液』──公爵夫人的水果塔，也是白絃姊給我的。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDxVMyRdZ1
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm2q3mg7Cq
尼可拉斯愣住。派翠克剛剛的動詞是什麼？「給」？668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslCvJSZ15d
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysh6qM1y24
「我不明白。」尼可拉斯扶著額頭，「獅鷲的水果塔是改變人的長相？你的水果塔又是她給的，什麼意思？」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk2mnzXkHp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DfCSKcuxI
「字面上的意思。」派翠克說：「她同時幫我改頭換面，又給了我水果塔。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqpPDw2mED
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nO46FXZV3
「這不可能！」尼可拉斯大喊：「如果真是那樣，獅鷲簡直是神啊！」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN44zdMhrpk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqGrV0pp9C
「沒錯，她是神。」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpyRzJhus9
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs4KZP9y12
尼可拉斯傻住。派翠克絕對沒有說謊，因為他親眼看過。668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GqeB6sq2r
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq6aFVSdzl
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Tfe8UWs4
「『白絃是艾莉絲體系的神。』」668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XDJNCFA5C
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1mqeQrDA
「這就是，高宇維在隱瞞的真相。」
