498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJl3Thcfvd
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnEpqIXK26
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVet3aXK7U
「小孩被高宇維救回來了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFhQ1ccBX
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lUJbEhbr
赫密士閉上眼睛，「但大嫂沒有。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8gQ0OY41r
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw1b33prWr
「……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkrQY3vZai
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJFOQipad
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MoTBFJCny
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0WtF5sL4B
「可惡……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaAZluFgko
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxTXHg55iP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ocP4tPY2
如果他再強一點。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1csjkfxic
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLUPBDXlY6
如果他的白色空間，沒有被紅鶴搶走。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aIh8cEiMT
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M4OeUKbYM
他應該可以保護雪檸……他應該要保護雪檸的。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OvX0Acodv

「博洋……」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNULkdmcPuU
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1yt41r78w
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──498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvlMnTgx57
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljll0RUa5s
「磅！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdALeiu8dA9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhYde0UK3
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！？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnCxezWd0F
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoKbd3UWc0
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！？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43keAAyVC8
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcuBIuvTg7
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLarUEw6w1
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M0hzxijcg
「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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJXx1Jnl2v
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYfcjgkpWa
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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCghMKgd9d7
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjZOzBhzjj
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6zFr6XdD
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLgweST2t
「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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVHUGgppj
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3JTs8WzZv
「……要拿誰的命換，不是MIO能決定的。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRmR8tQ68D
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprCBXVFO2l
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmITandST5i
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyUR9piBTO
「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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotVgwrfId
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmhc5kuX5B
「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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWGTSjfSkg
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYDLbAenfo
「MIO就是MIO，MIO只是在實行MIO的意義！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mDuTKlJwf
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLGmgcgss
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR3HaYpjrX
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85URJmYV9
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71SpxSJsbd
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ICoEpRXN
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！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8liGusziv
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DaX3EJP8d
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHxdDZOjs
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfayPlhkqb
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZsskuvEy3

「都什麼時候了還在吵架妳們煩不煩啊？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjXF3Yw2r3
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseerlIExTl
赫密士說，視線由上而下，叫她的名字：「MIO。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkhqLa8Xb
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHI9wqMaDV
「……？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0zx0544rE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vgMyhWZsH
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaIDRj5a2t
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uJc8E26wu
「媽媽？」聽到關鍵字的MIO蹙起眉頭，「跟媽媽有什麼關係？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3b6ydCOqS
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1vFAcqi0Y
「妳果然什麼都不知道。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf4EcQ10Zi

「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRvOdBwhTi
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBoQkoOf12
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBqqX2qtQV
赫密士看著MIO。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw6U5e1wrP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hwBBtUZL
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxKtkERah
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILcyoiGGnu
赫密士突然轉頭，問李晴煬：「你說她的『聲音』是什麼？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkfe2Gw3K
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiijIX5mJ4
「啊？」太突然了，李晴煬沒反應過來。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqYfEicP7d
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYWZEh576m
「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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKAldfEloE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6QFcMY6Rf
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？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIWrvjMqXA
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3i5ISCOpm
「鈴鐺。」李晴煬告訴赫密士：「『叮鈴鈴』的鈴鐺聲。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7rqAsJFq9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DOcdehUqh
「鈴……鐺？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgELhi3w4VI
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sQmGN2trs
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7yziKK2Qc
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf24K0dLuT8
「妳說妳不怕死，是嗎？那我告訴妳一件比死更可怕的事。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4xDGLqsDo
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tpV6yw4A1
赫密士伸出一根手指，點在MIO的額頭上。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMjNn6FNR
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE7J9TRYJH
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3jMi4wFC9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2MuntH1eJ
「……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkgawsjY1n

MIO好像想起了什麼。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUPqwXsQP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPs9kJKSXm
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──498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiso5wnwA9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbLnEasqe3
「再告訴妳一件事。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNuoP4AcN3
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou1r5pbaBo
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrIBajtXl
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkuWtYG6gy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyJREp05No
「那個戴鈴鐺的人，就是李仲翔。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7pz8PMdsB
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVdRSYY9Y6
「為什麼讓博洋當妳的嚮導──」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIbQ0q5XqB
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyi7pbN9T2
「因為高宇維不想讓妳報仇，就是這麼簡單。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0hyAnu0F
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsurIKVsXA
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJkCn53J7U
「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz7H5TJfIj
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFgcFDn5KU
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d2nDfOPl6
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J4fdRpZJh
「喂，赫密士！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvWuqg8l1t
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw7WnwKh10
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGKCZzTOWO
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Z8jc6f86
「你太小看她對李博洋的愛了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ad3METhP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho66RxzyZx
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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsFHHcx2Y7
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWLlXjv48i
「本大爺又不能隨便拿耳機！」李晴煬反駁。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGcRK0PBgb
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NzEOA6WCo
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJoHgQJUv
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXcbxnMMnZ
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6L2GdzUC
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmRKX8Kz3A
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kwVsP8H40
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJHS2BTByy
「……抱歉，弟弟，我有點累。」李博洋低頭，「我先回房間了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K4NPcsUu8
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9euYzirZVR
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrSMpp8vGZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoAE7Y6Xq6
「謝謝……」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe2Wa6DYC9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfbqz3sbw
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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9OGumrVqi
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT34WhTuJX
「我要等尼可。」葛蕾絲頓了頓，「……如果他還活著。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewC1QzIt7C
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKjuVVJnBC
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC6ABumbkh
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwz5W0IZcv
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxNpfNFKy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozLmXe3Xjq
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq8OdMs8bd
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMipvcCYNy
所以，里奧應該不會殺死尼可拉斯……吧？498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY0u1K3W5u
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVRZ0LNxWW
葛蕾絲坐在沙發，雙手合十，只能在心裡祈禱了。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl011yxbB2

檸檬已經睡著了。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV40JdnhT3L
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjCS0hPBUu
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimAuhnyoeP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiPLimjOWC
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkhTmsdheT
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexQM6F8IXE
所以他走過去。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmFq0gXxYl

抱著妹妹，來到妹妹的親身父親旁，親手交給他。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQLmIQYPe2

「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIwvxmrDpG
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL16PDd2tA
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2E6b8tU9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGime51c3

真的會死。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4FwmzhVN

他不會輕易原諒。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwcM0uLPK9
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KHxpwej1
也沒有理由原諒。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJiC0Bv0N

「對…對不起……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28yXTbn2Gj
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1gPp5qaCl
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QtpUfVfcE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9C9Ijcy7s
「對不起……我知道你沒有理由原諒我，可是……對不起……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia9pBkp8Av
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujm60G3iWX
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopo9QMk34E

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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh37DcNVLU

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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK14CbpEDBM

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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTftUxcX6l

498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh3Yjks8iP
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？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv6ycxmrbd

尼可拉斯嚇一跳，沒想到第一個問題是這個。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIW8qRjJr7

尼可拉斯緊緊抓著自己的衣襬。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oCkGywXFe
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk4vovUlej
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPD9Mov7jo
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGveVS3rh4B
「所以希望葛蕾絲回來？」里奧問。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT2pKqZd0S
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc5QqSvsPq
「沒錯，還有……」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXMWUkSDy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJWN2CVFR
尼可拉斯的表情很掙扎，最後，還是決定說出來──498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTS2ICCfbM
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vcSFR0wy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsetA6lnys
「我發現，自己喜歡的是男生。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWchFEX106y
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2FeJintL
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3XdW2ahgJ
「……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjiMrdz6bu
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIWxEDe7GX
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FutCzIUMX
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCtDekw3Fm
「我最近常夢到奇怪的夢，那讓我很……害怕。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE45lTfyN8
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL8AIwxG4Q
尼可拉斯的聲音在抖。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzehQbBBbm
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xD39q5fYy
「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……！」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEezJ2ZXdsb
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGkmbafzUP
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9jn6KlvYL
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mXpG6s3gm
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO9QExeh7Y
尼可拉斯也是孩子。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZtcJqwMF2
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwAhlcwzGL
雖然外表、知識超齡，但他只有十七歲。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44QKQyA8CE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dCdrXI1M8
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSLvxDysO4
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjsKBZbRBl
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvLvqz5qUq
「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRLZYH2h9w
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9o6bX6j2C
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MWmTAMw1b
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdWTZAa9xB
「啊。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObVVPYWUDV
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukoVVEA4sq
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW716VDiuKP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ChyrcX9Y
「……我一直以為睫毛影是商人的噱頭，沒想到是真的。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGtenxcyP
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthEA64fuF
尼可拉斯看著檸檬的眼睛，忍不住讚嘆：「她好漂亮。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5a3Y1HHC
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ad3KTSCV2
「像媽媽。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5K1Sob6A
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65fUYvGmxI
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacgjPh0FKZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEpv3jWV2G
「……尼可。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk3fvpvU7Z
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmGx40krss
里奧突然抬頭，跟尼可拉斯說：「我不在，安琪都交給你。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9jZS2PLFU
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5mzLTNTD2
「咦？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97EQmoRfCy
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKDlzQLGdC
「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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjjcjpjHPE
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmE7etdKdA
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLdO15Hlel
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm0MZaDwSA
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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnWpHhAmVo
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhAuKM8DYP
「……。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxZo982J9U
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8a6YQIDAh
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF7TVuQIE1
「討厭的哥哥」。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNZEAPKRTg
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom0HFeNg6A
尼可拉斯腦中，閃過這個身分。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPH5AXG5p
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIObII1qXL
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCIS6z927X
「……我明白了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HuMpL3jp3
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Cs2J7i6I
尼可拉斯擦掉眼淚、擦掉淚痕，跟里奧保證：498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxKn3tyFZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOB9JR9cps
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW0GOtRaTs
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnd2XIQzAQ
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwLxclno2Q
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW6IafaRzT
「對了。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20W1uEkGS4
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkfLxdte6G
尼可拉斯想到什麼，尷尬地問：「我以後，要叫你舅舅嗎？」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUohV3ILZxx
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPleGY1rV8
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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWxcoXddYC
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gwNls4TIu
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAYAJLzBLZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilY0hz3sK
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。498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVahBmt5t1
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsEiZ9Pqzb
「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。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0z1yhbScx
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvB7ktRWku
「隨時歡迎。」498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDlJ650zCQ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRGnKycZsh
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。
