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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1b5GImlS
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY2S6FBQp2
「歐哥？……他們都吃完了嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v3KqzLRsN
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMa0GHW4wu
他轉過頭，看到露蕾雅站在門邊，有些不好意思地看著他。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw1Csk1TzN
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6dsgvAY0U
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOFlHdedZ8
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRb0efvVD
「哇，真有你的，歐哥！而且廚房也整理得這麼乾淨！」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG2ZzYpPux
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8BLYkGrTr
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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpwoZjc2i9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesa1CwXp5r
「欸～這樣一來，你簡直比我還會照顧孩子了耶！」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOZIBsIaWK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzzZtfLD8p
她發自內心的讚美，下一句，語氣居然突然變得有點害羞。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wbJnEy0rT
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQHwcbDMXj
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbDPF8fkSz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkXTC9Eau6
她低下頭，臉頰染上淡淡紅暈。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOUxiZax8i
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o4YgSbQZc
「……沒事呀。妳那邊……也是在照顧人嘛。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rCpaaEUOx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwne1B9uyL
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByMDEyV8dM
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqNNqvJrP
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.......210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oaj377tBd
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSteWXy9KIV
……我也是人呀.......210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5CsE3UluG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4IxQn48mh
人類有些情緒，就是會在最不該的地方悄悄發芽。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4cIzX4OwI
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuAPbXIb9s
終究還是問出了那句壓在心口的話：「……所以，他還好嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lFhN0Oi8y
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNBuRZMtv3
露蕾雅一愣，隨即點點頭，聲音變得低柔。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwqnqmHml
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxaO9LUdoZ
「嗯，好多了……我覺得，再過一天，他差不多可以回海裡了。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94TTkAdVXO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KCttLcyOm
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEkRjLElP
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPWjpj73Po
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……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOB9njG0bx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O8RueTdHX
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYr3iobTyG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuduG2fHHa3
「……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……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm5UUTSuhF
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFKVnbPuaj
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B76vaNayh
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC17rXIuxn
歐班恩靜靜望著她，喉頭滾了一下，他的心跳得極快——太快了。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWBe6B8woz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjepuHus4
他知道，這就是關鍵的瞬間。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVgUuxwXJh
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW86craXVQn
如果他現在說點什麼……只要說得夠準、夠狠，那麼……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5Q8GiKZj
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA0JtTJ27V
他就可以把她拉回來。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E9YD3hFZK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2tfRJ0SUU
他知道，他絕對可以讓她動搖。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7LrWFCBn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9aVzZMLMs
但該說嗎？還是不該說？210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpz1O0muJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7LqEqjqd
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……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdfiIO0gvH
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv0zQLMl7A
那個吻。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteKh25MEXX
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJit1eLqyZ8
她的睫毛輕顫，閉起雙眼的模樣，安靜、信任、全心全意……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmYRAQrrXn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWwHvGWi45
那炙熱的愛、那柔軟的唇瓣、那令人憐惜的喘息聲……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgQQnmlBO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8WgIUQSAQ
不是給我的。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmXuUoZsle
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBBImRNX7
明明那些本來全是屬於我的東西……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaawGKaEURm
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccfpV2CNp
是世界先對我無情，是妳先辜負我……210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemDkt7GSoy
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhubw6tvnvZ
我，才是第一個受害者……
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9XnJCUkK
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？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD37aaPz7hg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHGU3cdXEe
這兩句話，像兩塊石子投入湖心。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKepX2rtA
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAbKYd8loD
水面立刻亂了。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0EsfttDlc
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQJcfxndb
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSoEUSeSO9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFS8Uinc6x
她在動搖。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOqyhs4iiT
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtK0FkDEco
他看見了。且看得非常清楚。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhRuruMhB3
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dC7ahuqHY
而令他起雞皮疙瘩的是，他知道這動搖是他造成的。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUxNHM9J5X
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh54tBZr2u
做到了。竟然真的……做到了。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JN58dfhkE
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzNAm6GmkX
這個「做到」的瞬間，他竟然說不清是罪惡還是……驕傲。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnle7tbil
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9LCooXXGd
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFLn8C2j02
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGuvKEX9A9
「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……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV2AowxY5O
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLIT8Xt7OW
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxyvfESIoh
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWcLKldBko
歐班恩的手指緊握成拳，心意已決。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DN9sPLLo
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yb7HQIb5P
「……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！」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJDRuzLOUD
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHGlCeFJ0O
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？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq6bcIh7jn
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDtLewvNKz
直指她最深的愧疚。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1oW5fd49P
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3RXWWaexK
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJEbSvq9jG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwp5dagfN
她的唇開始顫抖，睫毛瘋狂顫動，雙肩僵住，然後——210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LXWMJeaLJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0kLpiAuMb
「是……是我……是我害他的……他是為了我才靠近羅瑟半島的……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqiKFKpIvj
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCuZKsFCt7
「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……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhvIeaKcR
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxgWG4RaYY
「我只是……只是想……見他一面……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6voFmpPhy
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxWdZENkUn
「是我……是我……讓他一次又一次……靠近這麼危險的地方……」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh32MxxHxF
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2J8akh1cn
她痛哭，話語斷斷續續，用全部的羞愧與懊悔在告解。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2FYwcdcaY
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx7LyF1i1p
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb6Z3TTJUh
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRUSwJZd1z
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfRsYc2r6e
