581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBAFzmJGL0
葛蕾絲、MIO、李博洋、李晴煬四人在三樓等消息，赫密士一從二樓回來，葛蕾絲立刻抓住他的肩膀，問：「怎麼樣？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgiLvGNNEq
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjBvMtGS83
「小孩被高宇維救回來了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXZpBQjmb
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFxBZsDU8H
赫密士閉上眼睛，「但大嫂沒有。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsmQ2wnc5x
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKuukPrgW
「……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqC5xnFn8
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxDmPuyDy0
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛，MIO的手鞠掉到地上，李晴煬低下頭，李博洋整個人跪到地上、自責地捶著地板。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcs35GutuI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy3mu50RsT
「可惡……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qKkVazKY3

581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEILl5Xabm
如果他再強一點。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt0TjIaEDM
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxdnkiHoq
如果他的白色空間，沒有被紅鶴搶走。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1U7vix2CB
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UcH4uhCIK
他應該可以保護雪檸……他應該要保護雪檸的。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4v3VkNaVJ

「博洋……」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Zi57ZtNu
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jEZqtaMN
MIO走上前、正想安慰李博洋，葛蕾絲卻衝上來、一拳打在MIO的肚子上──581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMtZbvXvqQ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDJoGD3qA
「磅！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvkz3rBPx1
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfPJISjn4
MIO整個人飛出去、撞到一邊的牆壁。所有人都嚇一跳，李晴煬從後面抓住葛蕾絲，驚恐問：「葛蕾絲姊，妳幹嘛！？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rdFLsee0p
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJdtuaxnZe
葛蕾絲把眼淚擦掉，「還不承認嗎？」並用非常恐怖的眼神，瞪著倒在地上的MIO，「大嫂被妳害死了，妳滿意了沒！？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fs7GXx4aA
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyGI0Mkt84
葛蕾絲的話讓所有人瞪大眼睛，尤其是李博洋，他不敢相信地問葛蕾絲：「姊，妳這話什麼意思？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtu9fISNYC
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5t2PIihKP
「我老早就覺得奇怪，我怎麼可能用這麼短的時間復活，一定是妳跟什麼人進行了交換！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh325S3wI2
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SlErUOeVt
葛蕾絲指著MIO，「是尼可吧！為了讓我立刻復活，代價是另一條懷特的命，我沒說錯吧！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutYvoGcBui
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSy9yPIdbx
MIO沒有否認。唯一還保持冷靜的赫密士走上前，「原來如此。」兩手插到口袋，「一命換一命的概念嗎？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ8PBiMrAf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgvqgjhKEN
「尼可一定以為，另一條懷特的命是哥哥，但他沒想到，雪檸肚子裡的孩子也是懷特！」葛蕾絲握緊拳頭，「妳原本要拿檸檬的命『交換』。要不是宇維少爺介入，今天死的就不是雪檸，而是檸檬！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAWcEBRp4
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48DAiGHm71
「……要拿誰的命換，不是MIO能決定的。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTV1Bc2Faz
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDINODrX5p
MIO吃力地說。葛蕾絲這一拳非常痛，她必須摀著肚子，才能坐起來。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xr46IbXA7
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkSLaoE6cw
「所有的規則、運作，都不是MIO控制，MIO只是實現尼可的願望。」MIO也瞪著葛蕾絲，大聲地說：「MIO並沒有錯！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTaqcfvYXx
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsqZK5hB72
「如果妳有作為神與畜的自覺，」葛蕾絲大吼：「這種可能會殺死成員的『交換』，妳必須拒絕他！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZP3mh7Onl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9KvVtE7j
「MIO就是MIO，MIO只是在實行MIO的意義！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgXsQhAsPN
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbLbqpZnpl
MIO站起來，反問葛蕾絲：「妳為什麼不問尼可？他作為神與畜，為什麼還要和MIO作這種『交換』？妳不怪自己的兒子，把錯都推到MIO身上，公私不分又是誰？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54TZ4ck2Qe
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3CUPnhGy
「連我都能猜到的事，妳以為我哥會不知道？他自會裁定，哪怕……哪怕哥哥要把尼可殺了，我也不能說什麼。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Vbgft4SV
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLoTkxHacH
葛蕾絲說得心很痛，她警告MIO：「妳做好心理準備，如果哥哥連尼可都殺了，他也不會放過妳！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1CYtYiBU
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2Ey3UzFC
「MIO不怕死。」MIO瞇起眼睛，「打從遇到博洋的那天，MIO就不在乎自己的生死。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRKlBJEywV
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu1tmoI7pN
葛蕾絲要繼續說，卻被赫密士從後面踹了後膝蓋，害她用非常不帥的姿勢跌到地上。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GjKYPSB5R
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKSryusPk7
「都什麼時候了還在吵架妳們煩不煩啊？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxV8DSUhQZ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48k15cOhWv
赫密士說，視線由上而下，叫她的名字：「MIO。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn3cEVApMI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZTYrzfQN
「……？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZuuLawns5
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkTHz1gGAJ
「我從以前就無法信任妳妳知道為什麼嗎？」赫密士冷冷地說：「因為妳是NAGI的女兒。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2fuLY2pR0
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWRhMIYCBt
「媽媽？」聽到關鍵字的MIO蹙起眉頭，「跟媽媽有什麼關係？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys0RtrUSpe
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FVYeGXbt
「妳果然什麼都不知道。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejs2SyLVz2
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtA7ECUfGA

「當初高宇維要收妳，我極力反對，但他堅持妳什麼都不知道。沒錯，妳真的對自己的母親一無所知。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Nas2Nisv
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMIy6TLzoZ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GuRtctMGk
赫密士看著MIO。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3L2DZW3hA
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lZ5rtMBL
「儘管如此，妳和妳母親非常相似。不服從規矩、搞不清楚狀況、亂用水果塔，甚至，妳蒐集有關強暴的新聞，都是受到妳母親影響，因為她就是在那樣的狀況下，把女兒生下來的。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeov18Tzfhf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuvfDXvNk6
赫密士突然轉頭，問李晴煬：「你說她的『聲音』是什麼？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINyfsitVIV
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWBCCd6t8l
「啊？」太突然了，李晴煬沒反應過來。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wgMpbyzjl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavkOC4PJ2r
「你不是能聽到大家害怕的聲音嗎？」赫密士額頭爆青筋，「MIO的是什麼？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWwwo4aOYi
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSvcdMZ4yq
李晴煬終於反應過來。他在心裡罵赫密士，講得不清不楚，要人怎麼立刻回答？581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMp4c6Nt8S
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUftC5DQbES
「鈴鐺。」李晴煬告訴赫密士：「『叮鈴鈴』的鈴鐺聲。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cwBw2a61U
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DBoZJ8rMo
「鈴……鐺？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqusSYgkr
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyGjKqRxVD
MIO眨眼，連她自己也不知道為什麼；另一邊的赫密士卻發笑，彎腰，與MIO平視。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsAAuIxw4
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1OiQGibf
「妳說妳不怕死，是嗎？那我告訴妳一件比死更可怕的事。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi93IwcfFb6
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX0KHiwCV6
赫密士伸出一根手指，點在MIO的額頭上。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrpXVe7O69
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6gf44zkB
「妳母親，是被人殺死的。」赫密士微笑，「妳還記得嗎？被身上戴鈴鐺的人，打到半死不活。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqUK3IkPl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefjlb7UKeb
「……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf05eclj4m
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOvW7oEeT
MIO好像想起了什麼。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopDVHuMoMI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4xy2IhKlV
黑色的人闖入家中，媽媽把她關在浴室。隔著一道門，媽媽的叫聲、鈴鐺的震動聲、骨頭的斷裂聲……媽媽的血從門縫流進來。她害怕地躲在牆角，直到──581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzXLNSPTEj
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAVbUXzcn
「再告訴妳一件事。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zv4Ad6Vaf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGKkMQzKug
赫密士走到MIO後面，硬是把她的頭，轉向李博洋與李晴煬兩兄弟。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxGWhdxjw9
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjcXROIYjE
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxGMYhFhrx
「那個戴鈴鐺的人，就是李仲翔。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAOpwDI8J9
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXlurGgRim
「為什麼讓博洋當妳的嚮導──」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Mw4FwmfD
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSkejnyR1q
「因為高宇維不想讓妳報仇，就是這麼簡單。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGT9w3Jz3T
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTa1uFeNfo
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDYQHzdPrO
「……。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwFSM0pvQT
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltKcL5mOcI
MIO空洞的眼睛凝視著李博洋。她沒有哭，也沒有鬧，持續這樣的狀態十秒，才低下頭、一個人跑離客廳。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8DZwcMdK
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89IREH9N9f
「喂，赫密士！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidIox3s1m
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwQAdaMss
MIO一離開，李晴煬立刻問，口氣很不高興，「你沒事提這幹嘛？刺激MIO造反嗎？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVXjjyhGKk
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhICrslZY
「你太小看她對李博洋的愛了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SzlFqh3qD
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoFFcdkXR3
赫密士恢復平常的語速，「造反倒不至於我只是要她享受這份煎熬畢竟她真的做錯了事。」他吸了一口菸，「而且你不是讀心術達人嗎如果她想造反你一定事先就會知道。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN81SDayAu
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZGEwLIYO
「本大爺又不能隨便拿耳機！」李晴煬反駁。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5zZtW704p
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrxF2FlHi
「放心經過雪檸這件事高宇維遲早會允許你拿。」赫密士說：「我們人越來越多為了確保上下一條心一定會需要一個糾察隊那個人肯定就是你了啊啊竟然要被你這種人竊聽想想也真不爽。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm1BsWIiLf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E4eQGAfW5
李晴煬不知道該回應什麼。監聽自己人，如果是高宇維希望的，他當然會毫不猶豫去做，只是難免覺得諷刺。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9I0boxNZ0
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlQUOUELjs
他看向哥哥。李博洋的臉色很差，雪檸的死訊已經讓他很難過，赫密士又來這招、挑撥他和MIO的關係。李晴煬第一次覺得哥哥可憐，他走上前，拍了拍哥哥的肩膀。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJd1jNB0bt
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWetMladAO
「……抱歉，弟弟，我有點累。」李博洋低頭，「我先回房間了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsM9a5cKo
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9XITYnXug
「你那鬼房間最好能休息。」李晴煬乾脆地說：「去我房間吧，本大爺帶你過去。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCg1sTZG2Z
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq991xOYFx
「謝謝……」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbInKuulCl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwwyZJgYce
李博洋真的累了。簡單和大家說過晚安，李晴煬便帶李博洋離開。也在這時，赫密士告訴葛蕾絲：「妳也去休息吧。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvTsuENiL3
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dptv07Rwx
「我要等尼可。」葛蕾絲頓了頓，「……如果他還活著。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH8Q1NZNpH
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQTmpXW4W0
「那我先下去了。」赫密士呿了一聲，「有個白痴為了救小孩把自己的手弄斷我得去看看。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XKHqjBn5
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK0jL90ApX
說完，赫密士離開。背影雖然很不情願，但那股「這是我的責任」的使命感，讓葛蕾絲很是欣慰。相較之下，他兒子真是太不成熟了。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgBap46jMe
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhmKsAV6DB
雪檸的死，帶給里奧很大的打擊；加上那個嬰兒，要是傳到十大家族耳裡，肯定會變成各方野心家的目標。未來的神與畜，必須一邊確保檸檬的安全，一邊平定反高派的勢力，還要提防紅鶴……他們需要優秀的成員加入。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1eyxhZ67S
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmH53k4NX
所以，里奧應該不會殺死尼可拉斯……吧？581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NA0SfRQl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKQQRz3ot
葛蕾絲坐在沙發，雙手合十，只能在心裡祈禱了。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pu6w6dwOd

檸檬已經睡著了。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYSzJQBlQ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFiDn8RmA4
嬰兒真的好小、好脆弱。抱著手中的小生命，尼可拉斯終於意識到，自己做了多麼殘忍的事。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGC4uWofMI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5R6pRxvsB
雪檸已經被安置在冰櫃，里奧還在醫務室外。汗從尼可拉斯的額頭流下來──他知道，這是他的罪、他的報應，他遲早得去面對。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpwzahcmM
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTebszIEgM
所以他走過去。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zldOKf92l
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG3cSsBsyX
抱著妹妹，來到妹妹的親身父親旁，親手交給他。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh8GP6cS3V

「……。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTryIMRnk9
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwG47n7Evf
里奧沒有說話，默默接過檸檬、凝視她的臉。空氣凝重得像冰塊，尼可拉斯覺得自己快要窒息。他想打破沉默，然而，才剛開口，里奧那雙琉璃色的眼睛瞥了過來，嚇得他當場閉嘴、屏住呼吸。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MdLQ9FWuY
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9cG4y2O3Q

真的會死。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhM3v4qUnB
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUU0bnztH
他不會輕易原諒。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gqkCAAZd2
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZAw78sb9X
也沒有理由原諒。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22LzgzVf9K

「對…對不起……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c7h4kK6Ou
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYWAUxGnd9
因為害怕、因為愧疚、因為悲傷……尼可拉斯的眼淚流下來。他整個人跪在里奧面前，哭著顫抖。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoO9ZNmITP
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K9Qu4Rw9S
「對不起……我知道你沒有理由原諒我，可是……對不起……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EsiYXLhSd
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHSgO0aQV9
想到雪檸，想到他剛出生的妹妹……尼可拉斯的眼淚停不下來，全部落在醫務室的地上。他已經做好死的覺悟。里奧想怎麼殺他都行，他不會反抗。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP74llVsIG

里奧不生氣嗎？他當然生氣。只要願意，他隨時都能替雪檸報仇。殺死尼可拉斯就像捏死螞蟻，對里奧來說輕而易舉。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBNMJ9EeOK

殺了尼可，然後呢？是不是也要殺了MIO？多死兩個人，無法改變雪檸已死的事實，何況追根究柢，該死的人不是他們。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxgGqBcIIg
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NfYcdiZZr

一聲小小的呻吟突然傳來。里奧低頭，似是感覺到爸爸的視線，檸檬竟然醒過來，一雙漂亮的琉璃色緩緩睜開，清澈的眼睛與里奧四目相接。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqhm1Io9MP

一雙大手突然放到尼可拉斯頭上。尼可拉斯抬頭，戾氣從里奧的臉上消失，他變回面無表情的臉，淡淡說了句：「坐吧。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgBGKZy11

「……。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0khTVTa1de

581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv8uBDCplY
再拒絕就不像話了。尼可拉斯乖乖從地上起來、坐到里奧旁邊。正當他不知道該說什麼時，里奧突然問：「小孩應該幾號出生？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnfSzVoqhW
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBMJLigYSe
尼可拉斯嚇一跳，沒想到第一個問題是這個。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXttWvnJuj

檸檬的時間被高宇維提早七個月，尼可拉斯算了算，「明年四月。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ap4GsUqUr

「李博洋說的沒錯，我一直用媽媽的死，來合理化自己的不幸。以為用受害者的立場，就能把錯都推給別人、從來不檢討自己；李晴煬都走出來了，相較之下，我真的很差勁。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgdoA5o6HT
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzXG8IyJjO
「所以希望葛蕾絲回來？」里奧問。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63nJZlbrvU
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhqkL6VaRB
「沒錯，還有……」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zSJfGqboI
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjAel5XUP3
尼可拉斯的表情很掙扎，最後，還是決定說出來──581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXyOUPqOSe
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLMGhVMC4W
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcbjrCYtnw
「我發現，自己喜歡的是男生。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt681AqF3ql
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZHdwfVt2G
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDcgL325e
「……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsmH5VJfe7
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8VmcyT2e
看尼可拉斯的表情就知道，他真的鼓起很大的勇氣、才敢說出這件事。里奧承認他嚇到了。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTFRQqCuGK
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilLln8XvXJ
「我最近常夢到奇怪的夢，那讓我很……害怕。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLoZiCtXxg
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJunG9cXxl
尼可拉斯的聲音在抖。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JevgmoYwH
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRVSHnLDO
「我不知道自己怎麼了……感覺身體不是自己的。明明醫學上是很正常的現象，但我當下真的……不知所措，覺得自己很不正常、很恐怖……！」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHh9ofzozg
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTV68ytDbT
第一個告訴的人竟然是里奧。尼可拉斯又哭了。他摀著口鼻，努力不發出哭聲；另一方面，里奧終於理解，為什麼尼可拉斯無論如何，都希望葛蕾絲回來。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69x9W9xa56
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkaKjYjEEE
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XYwLxViEH
尼可拉斯也是孩子。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOrzaUxZwU
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrgxAACqHf
雖然外表、知識超齡，但他只有十七歲。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOBXYZiHc4
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMMMcyVjuL
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBuwFHSQ4D
里奧回想：自己十七歲時，身邊有什麼人？樂觀開朗的妹妹，令人尊敬的父親；再隔一年，他認識了高宇維，兩人從此形影不離。年輕的里奧並不孤獨，不知寂寞為何物；反觀尼可拉斯，葛蕾絲死後，他始終只有自己。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM45s5nUa4q
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySc36hiLQ
「……。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolnuQsN5jX
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MlbZVoNZL
里奧把手放到尼可拉斯頭上。那一瞬間，尼可拉斯忍不住，像個孩子一樣大哭起來。里奧．懷特也是他的家人──尼可拉斯終於在心裡，承認這一點。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQyb190U7
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbn3rC6J6
「啊。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP47rPbAth
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S6uCTD4xf
突然，檸檬叫了一聲，里奧和尼可拉斯都嚇一跳。循著視線，她正在看尼可拉斯，好像在叫他不要哭；尼可拉斯的眼淚，確實也嚇到縮回去。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3UiIE5v4W
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI1Ad8JVOl
「……我一直以為睫毛影是商人的噱頭，沒想到是真的。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJzl0LyxS
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFYrbH4Hze
尼可拉斯看著檸檬的眼睛，忍不住讚嘆：「她好漂亮。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfasryXU6ni
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GaQlFAdy5
「像媽媽。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JMkrOtlHp
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAchrcGAUg
里奧用手指逗了逗檸檬。爸爸沒表情，女兒也沒表情，尼可拉斯不知道怎麼形容，那畫面很怪異。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGblNHweOY
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6kU2xNZil
「……尼可。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8p5M7z9Uf
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pRtIjUwZP
里奧突然抬頭，跟尼可拉斯說：「我不在，安琪都交給你。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0tlY3zu3X
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDKDrEOJu
「咦？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIPkPxyvj
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzDrRRpvMI
「葛蕾絲回來，就會跟我行動，我和她會常常不在。你是醫生，宇維不會派太多外出任務，交給你最合適。」里奧說。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEchonuDS
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpxtPfUlw8
「不，這不對吧？我最不適合照顧她，畢竟我……！」尼可拉斯看著檸檬，「我不配當她的哥哥，她應該要恨我。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZIbiPjfii
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rDt9qa0hE
里奧明白，但他告訴尼可拉斯：「你要她恨你，我不介意，這跟照顧她不衝突，你是哥哥。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqGaLsGdAS
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRZ4lMjgU
「……。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItPlkcgfAq
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRcSBL2Je
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4u9DRDSwi
「討厭的哥哥」。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDPC8Y7JQb
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1CFCZXrpm
尼可拉斯腦中，閃過這個身分。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiKxouW28
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ODpvRqvZR
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW66EgZIMLZ
「……我明白了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPjcVvKsvV
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns2shkIUV3
尼可拉斯擦掉眼淚、擦掉淚痕，跟里奧保證：581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ahd4i3UNQ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kqZGxGA9N
「我會負責教她，讓她變成最出色的人……要是遇到李晴煬那種渣男，包準檸檬能在三秒內，把他打成太監。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eMy2f0iwl
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8koFe1W2Y
聽到尼可拉斯罵人，里奧知道他的情緒大致平復。他總算解開和尼可拉斯的心結，今後的尼可拉斯也不再拘泥過往。為了雪檸，為了檸檬，為了懷特……他這輩子將奉獻給神與畜。他已經長大，也將帶著這份罪惡感，活下去。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqMrvWA8P
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG8jqWlVx
「對了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ09KbTvil4
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVyKUsd5v
尼可拉斯想到什麼，尷尬地問：「我以後，要叫你舅舅嗎？」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxafMWCLsKJ
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTVEwf2yI5
難以言喻的怪異感，里奧整個雞皮疙瘩都起來。他搖頭，「不接受，太老了。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fg3BwZU3k
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8MYwNmpq5
你確實活了很久啊。尼可拉斯心想。要不是高宇維暫停他的時間，現在的里奧應該是具骷髏。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qQKZc4Lp
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4KlNs2d6a
不過，尼可拉斯也不叫雪檸「舅媽」，是叫大嫂；那麼，對里奧如果不用那個稱呼，對雪檸太不公平了。581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa7qgU6dCY
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMrkI8KqMJ
「以後，還能像這樣聊天嗎？」尼可拉斯終於說出那四個字：「里奧大哥。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey80a6BOkb
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2XDIqoDB
「隨時歡迎。」581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h4Nqdmu7Q
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSsrUJrRH
說完，里奧低頭，發現檸檬又睡著了。她睡得很熟，似乎，幫忙解決爸爸和哥哥的問題，真的很累。8964 copyright protection577ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT8bKy94kJ 維尼
