看著兒子走向旅行車，艾倫想起二十多年前的事。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHSruY1T1O
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdFPoAPYWk
那時候，他只是個寂寂無名的年輕人。學業成績優異，但家庭環境普通，跟著母親生活。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJxMg6yVbz
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiPFmjhlax
高中畢業後，他加入警隊。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHtWheiiJU
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGPpOyxZzA
加入警隊第二年，他認識了美諾特—同校的師妹，比他小兩歲。 她溫柔、漂亮，最重要的是—她喜歡他。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71rmGUpMWZ
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB7jkVDlQA
他以為這是人生的轉折點。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEYueJBfds
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbUedfwK59
直到見到她的父親，李喬丹—或者叫喬丹（Jordan）。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZKzlAPGs
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv139bGl8gw
李喬丹白手興家，對這個只有外表出眾的未來女婿沒什麼好感。但他要一百萬禮金，不是為錢，而是想看看艾倫有沒有承擔。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfM1wZNXs
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrJQ3FE78t
只是他沒料到，女兒會直接離家出走。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ZfA4UTCq
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnx2sG7FQ6
那天晚上，喬丹站在客廳窗前，望著外面的夜色，神情有些複雜。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj0LAMVMx0
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWQjpG8id
喬月靜靜走過來，在他身邊坐下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGnIQZkpY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG9Rl5rHds
「你真的要把她逼走？」她輕聲問。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnWUioYndy
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUFdSwnsq
喬丹沒有說話。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2wevawne6
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8k2EMjxng
「艾倫只是剛投身社會不久，還要供養母親。這三瓜兩棗你很缺麼？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqzmAux55
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW8cQkyHXo
喬丹沉默了很久。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6QUzyhZtN
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0k6CEzU5L
然後他嘆了口氣。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCafG4LKPD8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KuskG3iPT
「就你話多。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIuFzYXGeQ
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcrbdCXtD
喬月輕輕笑了一下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSKYIbY3R5
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpZVYKArHg
「我是幫我們的女兒說話。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u3pbHrJAR
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSjL8lyVBl
喬丹最終妥協，提供房子和工人，但生活費要他們自己想辦法。他嘴上說「一百萬，一毫子都不能少」，心裡卻已經開始接受這個未來女婿。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kaAAkujZU
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSZ43IXX38
他甚至多做了一手—美諾特能成為補習名師，背後全是喬丹用資金和人脈打點；而在他們住的房子裡，某個暗格中，喬丹早就放好了一張一百萬的支票。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXtYkqXdWY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4WOuIVE3m
只是這兩個年輕人，硬氣到一次都沒動過。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei84fmBNMz
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0IME4C4A3
他就只有這麼一個女兒。與其失去她，不如接受這個女婿。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhgPFVFhdR
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDvVHxzz9D
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNN7iULVVV
旅行車裡，艾斯癱在沙發上，從冰箱拿了瓶冰水。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80uZ3GsbDX
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MYig3AZ7F
脖子上那條鏈子，吊著一塊黃色的石頭。他把石頭掏出來，對著光看了好一會兒。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eGSumLyEG
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyYPVm1C5
「你會吸熱嗎？」他喃喃自語。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1RezaYKBy
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nPRRnnFoK
石頭沒有反應。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b1iIQ5U4V
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmGrbUKEDy
艾斯笑自己傻，把石頭放回衣領裡，躺了下來。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN64fAHMeE
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3pnTggAP5
他靠在椅背上，閉上眼。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwudhLmzR8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjSbCh8rGp
同一時間，城市的另一邊，藍子從床上醒來。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1IcoNdM8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tTkKhEH1
她摸著自己的心口。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnoUFRpccB
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvRFr9Rwb9
剛才……好像有什麼東西，跳了一下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgCxyd3efu
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KbURqx5As
兩口子一邊上班上學，一邊存那一百萬。艾倫剛加入警隊，隨時要加班，沒時間賺外快，就改為幫美諾特準備教材。兩人計算過，大概三四年就能存夠。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9SFcumDDo
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvUSysVjxq
日子就這麼過。年輕人朝夕相處，有些事自然會發生。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrDHRCkbAR
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSN689sX6z
不久，美諾特發現身體不對勁。檢查後，醫生說是多囊性卵巢症候群—不是不能有孩子，但會比一般人困難。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFaEL37s4G
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib00A4iSmC
美諾特哭著回家。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v85ouheBY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45xk38UZkO
艾倫接過報告，看了兩秒，然後放下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaVDWDgBTb
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptAkt5gpKE
他沒有說話，只是坐在床邊，背對著美諾特。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWAgxosQCy
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6XmZlod4U
美諾特等了很久，終於開口：「你……沒有話想說？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmLvQ0GPI
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eU8SI5XyR
艾倫轉頭，看著她：「我不知道怎麼說。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08lqm17q3S
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2TI6arvh
「那你是怎麼想的？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcMZ38oCaO
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVTn3tPuuN
艾倫沉默了一會。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fU1Qi5wLm
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc1IlGlnCi
「我其實……不知道該說什麼。」他慢慢說，「我只知道，我不想讓妳難過。但如果我說『沒關係』，妳會不會覺得我在敷衍？如果我不說話，妳又會不會以為我在介意？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGfs1B43Uv
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPDbtLqwG9
美諾特眼眶泛紅：「所以你打算一直坐著？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvQMi3pKF
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LBrOtc3p6
艾倫沒有回答。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJcahxb9c
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDomlTaweXC
他沉默了很久，然後小聲問：「醫生……有沒有說不能經常……那個……？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TgmbtgzZL
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVp9ZiUY1
美諾特愣了半天，然後一拳捶在他胸口：「色狼！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeLhUUMdxH
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9JEabLk7F
艾倫捉住她的手，終於笑了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a4n8pa6wt
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLswCIpiQ7
美諾特哭著哭著，也被他逗笑了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfzfhTt3Qf
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJY03OcZOv
窗外突然閃過一道光。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkpRKmXMzB
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ560KFocT0m
艾斯彈起來，撲到窗邊——舞台方向爆炸了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIqpHvYv2Q
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhEaPhWyi5
他看見艾倫跑向現場。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUq0zcFnbU
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcl2X1sdlN
脖子上的石頭，發燙。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYuYXkV5t8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqKfwEzTVE
那個星期六上午，艾倫去巡邏，下午就傳來他重傷的消息。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGi1F1XHUm
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaj22ovCb6
他被送到喬丹名下的私家醫院。手術很順利，撿回一命。現場除了爆炸痕跡，他背部中了三槍。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCX9vF2eov
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXcQVDJfM
三槍，都避開了要害。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJeQq8lcID
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcJkstQQ4r
像是開槍的人，根本不想殺他。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DTIFhXf9
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMsgoaKMOQ
美諾特在醫院守了一整夜。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEryOAyUEq
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwYd8dgbF
艾倫醒來後，她第一句就說：「我們分手吧。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S3sBhw973
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LWF154dvw
艾倫愣住：「妳說什麼？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeKujjQnko
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVAxFwMDY
美諾特哭了：「我不想失去你。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK0DG1ARw2
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblr21ebCef
艾倫沒有說話，只是握住她的手。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oPNhXyYfm
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQmFMsTXa
「我不會讓妳失去我的。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15daHHoM8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPnxhWB747
美諾特哭得更厲害了，但沒有再掙開他的手。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuVBAIYeYG
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4kSYETPkz
警方找不到任何疑犯，只留下一塊奇怪的碎片——像金屬又像石頭，化驗不出是什麼物質。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQsIiyteaD
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ajv2QoiFr
後來，這塊碎片在證物房神秘失蹤。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8fGimRgqH
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJguiaPiFU
艾倫休養後，屢破奇案，從普通警員升到總部主管。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlPYvgTb3m
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5g9Soguvk
那幾年，美諾特也大學畢業。兩人的補習事業，存夠了一百萬。喬丹終於點頭讓兩人正式結婚。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGGsSVbWk
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWxCXZVK8
那張一百萬的支票，喬丹沒有收回，當作結婚禮物。他還送了一間位於半山的房子，是美諾特小時候住過的那間。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzampFV3ZC6
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJC5gENl6I
「這間房子，本來就是留給妳的。」喬丹說。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhUjA2fhgi
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jlmqeLs5v
美諾特哭了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd7V5dzLOF
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoVhay5QRm
婚後不久，上級保送艾倫到國外進修。美諾特二話不說，跟著去。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpf72PWbq
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8cwFT3dsY
在陌生的國度，美諾特從零開始，自己找學生、自己教。頭幾個月收入少得可憐，但她沒有放棄。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3EWvAMJy
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PGzcaZGFj
第一年，她勉強站穩腳步。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzo5xMCUZ8
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznUNpICr5
第二年，開始有穩定學生。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAcoGbzfRH
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3uOBHv7Nx
艾倫放學回家，總有飯吃；做功課做到半夜，總有杯熱飲在桌面上。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgGrGC4yRu
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrjnL9SGH
美諾特不是為了錢—艾倫的津貼足夠兩人生活。她只是不想做一個只會等丈夫回家的女人。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgLxWb2wl
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BifUkBkxu
兩年後，學業完成，兩人回香城。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jcSlZDXHq
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ202ZVI7vD5
兩口子在國外那兩年，一直想要孩子。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpCTujLMT
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSKN2U7aq
結婚前就知道多囊難有，但兩人都沒放棄。一個月、兩個月、半年、一年——沒有。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUHfeQcplT
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCrwCIEfkU
回香城後，又過了幾年。仍無消息。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEpDUFYhzO
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEOWCCvlou
直到一個叫艾斯的男孩出現。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8azOxFmdD
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42OztW5eH3
那一年，艾倫三十歲，美諾特二十九歲。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYvWv6BnlY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZRAkAZcHq
車裡，艾斯握著鏈子。石頭燙得刺手。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uYuXWcHp7
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv74rPegZpe
然後他聽到一個聲音，很微弱，像隔著很厚的東西傳過來：「......斯......艾......」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmVaULewQM
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdA4gxcdaz
艾斯整個人定住了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgICoKbmtzj
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWRUynrFwM
「你是誰？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0W2lPaEK
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1MWpFrkVv
聲音沒有再出現，但石頭震了一下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4W82qPe81
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdvW9kjsB
二十年過去。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVhStzVa4X
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7IplEjx3H
當年的窮小子，如今已是警察總長。有房有車有老婆，還有一對兒女。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPairCv1c
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR4H1sZVYX
而當年那宗懸案，他到現在也沒弄清楚是怎麼回事。那塊失蹤的碎片，偶爾還會在他腦海中浮現。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKToj7b03
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkWSmmcQn
艾倫看著兒子的背影。艾斯已經走到旅行車旁，拉開車門，鑽了進去。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9khVf3Wz
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4TwoS8AGw
他笑了笑。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPE0B3ucIU
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKb6NoKjW
正要轉身繼續巡場，對講機突然響起。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCOKfLsuI0
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdmG0SP5B8
「總長，舞台附近有點不對勁。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ruR6vofu
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZjWx1Dqt
「什麼事？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwEUzVnjEs
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3PXzVghK
「有……有光。很強的光。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7NKghrqxc
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaKHmIA0Md
話音未落，遠處傳來一聲巨響。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcqJik4x1V
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCaITTBqgX
艾倫猛地轉頭，望向旅行車—87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYqwEzUczr
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq29a2vSSXO
艾斯還在裡面。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP2NWb4YDf
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WRI4MsG5
枕月山房。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKfGdXELB
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aAcdhkkvV
喬月坐在窗邊，手裡握著一條新月吊墜。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTTEiW7gAY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeKjlgVdNK
喬丹走過來，在她身邊坐下，伸手輕輕攬住她的肩。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevPwkCPMnG
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDqf0TBBcU
喬月靠了過去。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDqAqfmast
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFMt7TFA53
「會沒事嗎？」她輕聲問。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuvPcI5sb2
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwVMf6FEr
「會的。」他說，「我們都在。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tc8Hyimx2
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARc4KbQIL
月光靜靜照著兩個人。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIU0nuSeZ
