歐班恩站在廚房水槽前，一邊沖洗孩子們的餐具，一邊擦著水珠，不時望向窗外發呆。就在他將最後一只湯碗放上晾乾架時，熟悉的聲音從身後傳來。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxLqHNBL18
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6b1DRASta
「歐哥？……他們都吃完了嗎？」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1qYH1Z1p
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDMtZTnjm
他轉過頭，看到露蕾雅站在門邊，有些不好意思地看著他。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro3B6US8EM
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bjcJ2TTRK
「對呀，剛剛讓他們全都吃光光了，就連平常最挑食的可兒和小智，都把碗舔得乾乾淨淨的呢。」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBBUmhwYwD
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO8cUCRWAT
「哇，真有你的，歐哥！而且廚房也整理得這麼乾淨！」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHPUg2vFH
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFOaKM450
她走近一步，看著那一字排開、乾淨整齊的餐具，眼裡閃過一抹佩服。歐班恩笑了笑，溫柔地說道 :「其實……不瞞妳說，是我讓他們一起幫忙的呢。人多手快，收拾起來也快很多呢。」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ra02UDq1c
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjywzfKqn4O
「欸～這樣一來，你簡直比我還會照顧孩子了耶！」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvvKdr1HOl
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6CVWSotG
她發自內心的讚美，下一句，語氣居然突然變得有點害羞。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgs9rGl3n
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu07ZdnGkwZ
「對不起啦，歐哥……我剛剛在地下室照顧他，沒注意時間，結果就……沒有上來幫忙。」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhODd3QIrkL
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSQZFNgNWt
她低下頭，臉頰染上淡淡紅暈。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvwrWDAJM9
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlH2Yzv8y0
「……沒事呀。妳那邊……也是在照顧人嘛。」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7B9A3h98o
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFAKwrk2TW
話說出口，他卻忍不住咬了咬唇，眼神飄移了一下。他腦中閃過方才在地下室轉角不小心撞見的畫面，微光之下的輪廓，兩人的身影貼得極近，嘴唇輕輕觸碰在一起。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbUVmt9aTF
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibZRfr78Ru
他知道自己不該介意。更不該嫉妒。他選擇了這裡的事工與使命，他知道愛與奉獻應該無條件，但.......209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSM0nKks03
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HNKED1r4c
……我也是人呀.......209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazZav1jhyi
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT3xWUsL90
人類有些情緒，就是會在最不該的地方悄悄發芽。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2U1clZS86
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXubxhpBiHC
終究還是問出了那句壓在心口的話：「……所以，他還好嗎？」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXaDy9dKeP
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J9QSUXGUs
露蕾雅一愣，隨即點點頭，聲音變得低柔。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMVNV3x82q
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvBj1VTTjN
「嗯，好多了……我覺得，再過一天，他差不多可以回海裡了。」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLJZCUyYnk
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqhn8fygZV
說到這裡，她臉上竟浮現出一抹微妙的神情，像是安心，又像是……不捨。她垂下眼，睫毛微顫，正在努力掩飾情緒。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqruwrjUKVL
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8z9VYEeoW
他沉默了片刻，終於低聲說道：「這次……真的好險啊。若不是天城先生及時趕到……教會的孩子們恐怕……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPpfRDLXDJ
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUv9uAmQN
話說到一半，他自己都怔住了。因為他知道，他其實並不是真的在擔心孩子，而是在說服自己、掩飾某個更私人的動機。而露蕾雅，顯然也聽懂了什麼。她原本嬌羞的神情轉為凝重，低下頭，咬著唇，似乎在掙扎。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOP9uLRDaG
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ51Th11oK
「……也是啊……真的……要是沒有天城先生……我都不敢想像他們會怎麼對孩子們……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVlnmRCG5P
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltrogPwXrh
她抬起頭時，臉上的神情早已褪去方才的羞怯，取而代之的，是一種深入骨髓的恐懼與現實感。那不是對克拉維爾的，而是對那些持槍怒吼的鱗梟。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xDCIBpDX
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EQCY1j57Y
歐班恩靜靜望著她，喉頭滾了一下，他的心跳得極快——太快了。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS78A72OlW
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa06pyPEary
他知道，這就是關鍵的瞬間。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8reF3p1W3U
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKLcRT106f
如果他現在說點什麼……只要說得夠準、夠狠，那麼……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVuVqnow45
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm08IJACFFV
他就可以把她拉回來。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhuq8Ubb1
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk6KVfaISA
他知道，他絕對可以讓她動搖。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7JGWQb7ph
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIVa402vJc
但該說嗎？還是不該說？209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7njCBEBq
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSluD3PMAzK
他心裡一面祈禱著要正直，要心善，要無私；可下一秒，腦海裡那副畫面又無情地閃現出來……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8n4dupfuH
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS824tYqMWa
那個吻。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwXmXq7eeT
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupnP0LCgWx
她的睫毛輕顫，閉起雙眼的模樣，安靜、信任、全心全意……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8w6Gqm0eM
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHz47QXqLd
那炙熱的愛、那柔軟的唇瓣、那令人憐惜的喘息聲……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRjsdwcOD
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLRXyDb5Nz
不是給我的。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSloffZVyz
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjW67ezmnd
明明那些本來全是屬於我的東西……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObVu5030El
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpveFn4Lk
是世界先對我無情，是妳先辜負我……209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcpJGqpwZB
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMWRHoavs0
我，才是第一個受害者……
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7tPxHWJXc
他咬緊牙關，開口：「……如果他又回來這片沙灘怎麼辦？我們……還會像這次一樣……幸運嗎？」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QAgy8vRHT
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF1Yoy46jS
這兩句話，像兩塊石子投入湖心。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYRjnQE9P
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFr9ps3ykx
水面立刻亂了。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyRSH6S3g7
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhAgnzgv7n
露蕾雅愣住了，眼神整個變了。那不是輕微的猶豫，而是一種從內而外、極為強烈的震動。她瞬間被戳中了內心某個極其不安的裂縫，原本想出口的話卡在喉嚨，她甚至不敢直視他。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAZdGPjXqs
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0u51nbn6f
她在動搖。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8t7zQ12Xy
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWXcLtavsH
他看見了。且看得非常清楚。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyezvQEunFI
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8Az35lXb
而令他起雞皮疙瘩的是，他知道這動搖是他造成的。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDV6e6j2G0
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHqkaz4VG
做到了。竟然真的……做到了。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG3ZWAfeyR
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV7V6ab31A
這個「做到」的瞬間，他竟然說不清是罪惡還是……驕傲。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJI7gKin9
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NuFvV9dan
下一秒，露蕾雅的眼淚終於奪眶而出。她再也忍不住了，聲音顫抖、已經全然崩潰。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU6L6cnOWl
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcubgQNdwVO
「歐哥……怎麼辦……如果下次他還是像今天這樣，全身是傷……我、我不可能不救他……我做不到……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS96w0Bbj3H
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEiEE6haHN
她說著，猛力地搖頭，雙手捂著臉，她試圖用盡全力把自己的矛盾與懦弱掩藏起來，卻反而讓那份痛苦更加赤裸。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBbbePwcml
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4wVXy537x
歐班恩的手指緊握成拳，心意已決。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsme2qKSx6
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcXhVHNJ5x
「……他若是不要再靠近羅瑟島……不要再靠近鱗梟的地盤、鱗梟的海域……那他就不會再受到傷害了！」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8jNVSkFzP
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kHxROZgzm
接著，他像是無意、卻又準確地問出：「妳，知道為什麼他會接近這裡嗎？」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPUhCouyc
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZ8nywJXr
直指她最深的愧疚。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBrAtB24b8
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqPrtv0f5t
露蕾雅猛然一怔，整張臉瞬間蒼白，始終藏在內心的秘密，此刻被當場揭穿。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKgTPu2KL
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1a4y0wQAX
她的唇開始顫抖，睫毛瘋狂顫動，雙肩僵住，然後——209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADKplymF3S
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuxCQ5uUiN
「是……是我……是我害他的……他是為了我才靠近羅瑟半島的……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwSAV93hgm
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCt1Xu8uLf
「每個禮拜天……他都會來……偷偷留下海裡帶來的貝殼、鮑魚、珊瑚……那是……他送我的禮物……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIYpq53NjY
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyvnLC6UQy
「我只是……只是想……見他一面……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNXraV4fz
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPOkA7aGS0
「是我……是我……讓他一次又一次……靠近這麼危險的地方……」209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2tNojRws
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8tTuYJUy
她痛哭，話語斷斷續續，用全部的羞愧與懊悔在告解。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIFifGZ0u8
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFn0lSrdwV
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3L2gIf4M
而歐班恩站在原地，看著她崩潰的模樣，無助地蹲坐在地上，聲音顫抖、語不成句、泣不成聲。209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe0kW6fEUp
