515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaZD0VvXdt
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJFpqFzLG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQWHsuoq7W
「小孩被高宇維救回來了。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLsniCMDKl
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHdhUrNAYI
赫密士閉上眼睛，「但大嫂沒有。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnrHcJnJ6w
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnOugaqIaj
「……！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmtbkuRxYV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMum0w0kA
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUOEJY9Ja
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46u93Lws7k
「可惡……！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbES4YEoNI2

如果他再強一點。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg56Unxkty
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ir9octar
如果他的白色空間，沒有被紅鶴搶走。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImaBWcxjq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFO1tIaDd
他應該可以保護雪檸……他應該要保護雪檸的。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IawqTCTf

「博洋……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvU9wfnXO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gx3vmywFX
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──515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhLivTVHVR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMaBi6jEXt
「磅！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZA3lMRk8S
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMBYlJa8zg
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！？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyR9cYyt8i
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6QEfU6Yq
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！？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwvRlSQc2C
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrn4byVkIt
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrQ5Vep9a4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5W2lhTEMw
「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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoebgxzspG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAksOthSr5
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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI9PbeJSU7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISka6guNWa
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4o3pepdb3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbQrexrcbB
「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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dOJI66cBB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4KTLVb70
「……要拿誰的命換，不是MIO能決定的。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYWccltS15
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxnRbNQox
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHXkeE1cmT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13xhg89mFw
「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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihnh9MPINd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtIFVxhncI
「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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6zK2wfwp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0XeroVhS8
「MIO就是MIO，MIO只是在實行MIO的意義！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLGyyA7kT6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrtt5Cr7wT
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y0qFiHq1S
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlaiOioA5o
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfRm6hatT2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ifLCQzF11
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！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk74FdS5fB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrTo3yeTL
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNyKETN034
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXA7cp9USo
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcYZjP8mfM

「都什麼時候了還在吵架妳們煩不煩啊？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvIWdDJx5g

赫密士說，視線由上而下，叫她的名字：「MIO。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPihUCKk4I5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBAikGrvKd
「……？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmax0aTsGYc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rOfgDRTVa
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOorai4pjR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Q5zeQ3Mg
「媽媽？」聽到關鍵字的MIO蹙起眉頭，「跟媽媽有什麼關係？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qEmelANmi
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HjJT4wWXF
「妳果然什麼都不知道。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpfVUbWvr3

赫密士看著MIO。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUwmbrYpWa
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYa0Zb1T76
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxln4zUyrE
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnEz0Kvs4a
赫密士突然轉頭，問李晴煬：「你說她的『聲音』是什麼？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YXuwoIv4u
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTRQM6LQgg
「啊？」太突然了，李晴煬沒反應過來。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pRMOHhDig
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6AHn8NxC3
「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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0KfC19XSr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1D3sCTeab
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？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZILwCkzYq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWzzA7xmIT
「鈴鐺。」李晴煬告訴赫密士：「『叮鈴鈴』的鈴鐺聲。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW8pI9cqAk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1O6nAicOi
「鈴……鐺？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBtYC5g065
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdwdaanOdA
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOldsm2qIF
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZefBXueF
「妳說妳不怕死，是嗎？那我告訴妳一件比死更可怕的事。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSekQqNCujT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRH39EIzaS
赫密士伸出一根手指，點在MIO的額頭上。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBbZc1JQyD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO4O3OHKim
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPUli3iRmp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSCLjFSnaB
「……！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHpLiT6rK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZodLaYup2b
MIO好像想起了什麼。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7jiiR7c4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGSx8NBh80
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──515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACl0yV21bR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuJPchDji3
「再告訴妳一件事。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc9wI2aLDa
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmv7YRSHed
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r3rcnod48
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7yTAltMT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqBBxisN9H
「那個戴鈴鐺的人，就是李仲翔。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMC7xA0gNL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtaBZpqAJk
「為什麼讓博洋當妳的嚮導──」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WvfZUMSH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLNf9VUWH
「因為高宇維不想讓妳報仇，就是這麼簡單。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEHAt65b2x
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCWXIt5pDr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97SJcqWUaR
「……。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uHqw4zyI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVDsH24Oxf
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF4HVd04CE
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC48PBYZQx
「喂，赫密士！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H2zQhKrQr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq8SyZM8gw
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGk6p0tVs
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1OnoJfmQZ
「你太小看她對李博洋的愛了。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdedaeCtTLO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB1yhzfZUp
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAkbGqvTRh
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBzMQk1xPB
「本大爺又不能隨便拿耳機！」李晴煬反駁。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqFbLKgvaL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJznFfGAh
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM41MotRzRX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64DjBwusN
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4AfSyy3GI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPIEEMFB3q
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2mKrO3J5P
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH4sYhTEmg
「……抱歉，弟弟，我有點累。」李博洋低頭，「我先回房間了。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh5xAV74vz
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOQY1UgC8v
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib1eYc95gR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTLNOOB82D
「謝謝……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCyFuQqqTu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTPdSGrecl
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dHpiDg5us
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUBcHdaSVw
「我要等尼可。」葛蕾絲頓了頓，「……如果他還活著。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlCdk01Qu2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNI9ofJRh
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XLLv6kCay
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lWsCQvqsX
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8qoYHY8dB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHGEj4AwAd
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85xzl93Gp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVX8m0dpZe
所以，里奧應該不會殺死尼可拉斯……吧？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv0l2MClHR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAntZxgwQEc
葛蕾絲坐在沙發，雙手合十，只能在心裡祈禱了。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zE8ASrjzU

檸檬已經睡著了。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlRRZWrgf2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hApZeGB97
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk50n6xsmK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcULIPJEdHZ
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMkrO8RtcI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YkBShsAo
所以他走過去。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Leeq9mXb

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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpqwIeWsY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1IaE7eCWC

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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcULtvtATfM

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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9HbuPkIPz

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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFunUxBaU0

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yvelMql7u
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？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf3dFIy8Kt

「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkeaOvUxkR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9JZTTlCEI
「所以希望葛蕾絲回來？」里奧問。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVxJmpZ1AA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Ok34bOk4
「沒錯，還有……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIeN9rYzHC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWtpsyzpO
尼可拉斯的表情很掙扎，最後，還是決定說出來──515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xpmcckEnx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWeCPeangK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPrnzVIRyK
「我發現，自己喜歡的是男生。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3jzvQcW0O
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BChFumK6g
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPtS109EC
「……！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj0zUkODxe
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoHAhb2lv5
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6wSKLqJmz
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZQD3WM1L
「我最近常夢到奇怪的夢，那讓我很……害怕。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkFbidfYae
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OGse4gPZ6
尼可拉斯的聲音在抖。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl4JA62Uj6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPkmYoEvlV
「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……！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeuX6taQ1u
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLyuYh3Mqz
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIVvanAikM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlsOqlU8W
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBv2L1wQfi
尼可拉斯也是孩子。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhhWCBRFoK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgflUjQy8pR
雖然外表、知識超齡，但他只有十七歲。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFmVUnttL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxtbWB3Os8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzMZmqLTwd
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxZs6Yakp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVAAV6PPhy
「……。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8kbEHAo2C
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Z78L08aq
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliK79Detz5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9mJhIgNl
「啊。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFjTFLau6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTgApO28x5
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZsLlrWAk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWu83pZFm9
「……我一直以為睫毛影是商人的噱頭，沒想到是真的。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2ZsOYxm5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoclhFO6f7T
尼可拉斯看著檸檬的眼睛，忍不住讚嘆：「她好漂亮。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugW1JDVfHi
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekYdmldlSC
「像媽媽。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDDYpsDUuc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznS5N6Hy54
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLgY26VLCT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLQRZedpq
「……尼可。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS2htZMgYS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCszNnxlblp
里奧突然抬頭，跟尼可拉斯說：「我不在，安琪都交給你。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zS0QmNYOM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswd8Hbt74d
「咦？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PzIXJUldJ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDdklsiz1c
「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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXRWx0pliq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdjtwIzM4
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3G7GtVCX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PKgRCr1yw
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlN4CHibYS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNcOms3GWf
「……。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ApBdS38h
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65Cp799kh
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3U94vRyzK
「討厭的哥哥」。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpXWh1M6Mc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5G2vo0MZ7
尼可拉斯腦中，閃過這個身分。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnMDXGr5Fx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yj9V1Ttx8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VoLRCnCK
「……我明白了。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBuvYKPUii
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHInPO4YmQ
尼可拉斯擦掉眼淚、擦掉淚痕，跟里奧保證：515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda8UeI92Kv
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9gLkNU7O2
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN7fTbnLNx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x10cpvdjm
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32JZiaKrf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmxjvJuHFl
「對了。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQiEVT4mbS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqYIWm7Jw8
尼可拉斯想到什麼，尷尬地問：「我以後，要叫你舅舅嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5UBpJtk3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObsb6R1nXC
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacK1pvrejm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6t3GyvCww
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNx4QXukQo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaEX5rgpm8
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggXtT9F7kY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8WzaafJt
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xVrsIKnGv
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzw9fbh6dj
「隨時歡迎。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHALBIifmX0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruEvDLBvD8
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。
