艾莉娜呆了半晌,昨晚夢裡那份模糊的感覺,如今猶如揭開幔帳般慢慢地變得清晰起來。她終於意識到那個夢,那個下雪的夜晚,還有那個抱着她的女人,這一切原來都是屬於她孩提時代的記憶。313Please respect copyright.PENANAWSZeNNJ7YH
313Please respect copyright.PENANAArV74kxIyT
「那個長期病房裡面的女人,是我的……」313Please respect copyright.PENANAvuYQ169rGV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAm42C0vm3EY
「媽媽」這兩個字何其陌生,自懂事以來從未說過話卡在喉頭,讓她久久都說不出來。313Please respect copyright.PENANACRDobm8RwH
313Please respect copyright.PENANA9If3qPOxBH
「我不知道那個女人是不是你的母親。但作為一位母親,我可以跟你保證,我會像她一樣,願意犧牲自己的性命去保護孩子的安全。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAUxRnMcAC3R
313Please respect copyright.PENANA1RU5u0Q1BU
約克長老這番話像是打開了艾莉娜腦裡的某個機關,眼前的一切轉眼就被淚水遮擋而變得模糊起來。當她早已認定世上沒有血脈相連的人,但原來那個人卻一直守護着她,甚至為此而犧牲了自己。313Please respect copyright.PENANAsXEpKSa9sC
313Please respect copyright.PENANAycDpo3t00q
「那時候的你年紀太小,可能已經記不起來。可是仕犽當時曾經答應過你,他一定會盡力搶救那個保護你的女人。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAUqDyvyQGoG
313Please respect copyright.PENANAfeztqQdfAX
「仕犽……那位醫療總長……長老你的丈夫……」313Please respect copyright.PENANAGgWEfHTihn
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdIp81q2901
「他完成了跟你的承諾,成功救活了這輩子的最後一位病人。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAj7xHJ0OGtF
313Please respect copyright.PENANALjEaJUUAnq
艾莉娜感到耳邊嗡的一聲,呆立當場。313Please respect copyright.PENANA1T7Q0NEopX
313Please respect copyright.PENANAxvz2Dt33KC
從結果而言,仕犽雖然成功守住了跟艾莉娜的承諾,可是卻讓自己和家人付出了沉重的代價。313Please respect copyright.PENANAOZazKGQ4id
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7RulJ6S7FO
「果然托倫索先生才是正確的嗎? 是我害他失去了父親……」313Please respect copyright.PENANA6aNitH4KG3
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7jASuXFZqU
「傻孩子,誰會去怪罪一個只有兩歲的孩子?他恨的人是……嗚……!」313Please respect copyright.PENANAU93dVxk3cZ
313Please respect copyright.PENANADKV6PipQK4
約克長老說到一半突然摀住胸口,臉上露出痛苦神情,然後整個人開始往前倒下。313Please respect copyright.PENANAaefWjgg9Mh
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJq7jxFh2
艾莉娜大吃一驚,想要伸手接住約克長老,可是她的身體就像注了鉛一樣拒絕合作,就連張開了的嘴巴亦無法發出任何聲響。當下整個世界彷彿都突然慢了下來,將她冰封在這恐怖的一瞬間之中。313Please respect copyright.PENANAUqsGuqTIy1
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcPDzLwrFu3
在緩慢的時間流逝中,她眼白白的看着約克長老逐漸接近地面,在最近的距離看著長老的頭部硬撼在堅固的地板上,可是卻什麼都做不到。313Please respect copyright.PENANAxfPGRKYXjp
313Please respect copyright.PENANARO4kI1lDbr
砰——!313Please respect copyright.PENANA1ju4rpKh6K
313Please respect copyright.PENANATkYrqe3oz7
休息室內頓時血花四濺。313Please respect copyright.PENANACZacVRWPLq
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMO3QPDdKkh
淒厲的呼叫聲這才終於劃破了寂靜。313Please respect copyright.PENANANVFscwxkWK
313Please respect copyright.PENANAUQy4F9sGw2
隨著醫療隊的人衝進休息室,發現長老倒地之後,艾莉娜便被進行搶救的人擠到了門外。313Please respect copyright.PENANA2RUV2QW7Gt
313Please respect copyright.PENANA91iUC1NygP
她看著自己雙腳沾上了屬於約克長老的血跡,腦袋裡面一片空白。直到約克長老被抬出治療室,艾莉娜這才反應過來趕緊跟在眾人身後,來到一號緊急治療室門外。然而她打算跟著進去治療室的時候,當值的醫療長卻攔在她的身前。313Please respect copyright.PENANAVolC1Fc3ly
313Please respect copyright.PENANAciEUMVOeM6
「你和長老剛剛完成了一場非常嚴苛的手術,我可不能讓你也跟著她一起倒下了。」313Please respect copyright.PENANABROuXeWD07
313Please respect copyright.PENANAgefL1ZyMfj
治療室的大門緩緩關上,被拒之門外的艾莉娜失魂落魄的靠着牆壁。錯愕、恐懼、無助、悲傷,種種負面情緒糾結在一起讓她完全不知道該如何反應。313Please respect copyright.PENANADzQeQVPOB0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMRmg4t5MeI
「菲恩……」313Please respect copyright.PENANAm87ofnV0mK
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2swLsnR8MM
在艾莉娜欲哭無淚又不知所措的時候,那個滿腦子鬼主意卻又讓她感到無比心安的背影在她腦海中浮現起來。挺直的身子頃刻間彷彿找到了依靠,再也承受不了負荷的她終於在走廊上抱膝而坐,低着頭讓淚水缺堤痛哭起來。313Please respect copyright.PENANAPgASaO9g4E
313Please respect copyright.PENANAy0qE9BCD1I
一個小時、兩個小時,時間逐漸過去,可是治療室的大門卻依然沒有任何動靜。313Please respect copyright.PENANAV10EyHNNus
313Please respect copyright.PENANA35XoxIcAuK
隨著天色漸明,走廊中傳來一陣腳步聲。原本早就返回宿舍就寢的莫里斯竟然滿頭大汗的來到艾莉娜身邊,和她一起坐在走廊的地板上。313Please respect copyright.PENANAzJVcVxzpeL
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHDIbC9P8fv
「沒事的,老妖婆這種難纏的角色,就是老天爺出馬也絕對搞不定她。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAcJVfQNqVom
313Please respect copyright.PENANARdWg42S0UG
雖然只是並肩而坐,但莫里斯的力量卻依然確實地傳遞到艾莉娜心裡。滿臉淚水的她抬起頭來,向莫里斯微微一笑道:313Please respect copyright.PENANAJTZ8NGFbD6
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaWy2ADV8JY
「謝謝你,莫里斯。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAgQBSvfYhIn
313Please respect copyright.PENANAwNxVKAR81H
「你…你這髒鬼,快擦一下眼淚啦!突然說什麼謝謝的……好奇怪哦!」313Please respect copyright.PENANAeSITaMvIIo
313Please respect copyright.PENANAW65sqzv8xF
艾莉娜接過莫里斯手中的手帕,這次由衷的破涕為笑。313Please respect copyright.PENANAP4EOTGKlPV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAYspie1YYKA
「我一直都認為自己是個孤兒,沒有家人是理所當然的事。可是現在我才發現,原來這麼多年來,我一直有你這個家人在身旁呢。」313Please respect copyright.PENANADj7y3jB55g
313Please respect copyright.PENANA55GytCZknM
莫里斯臉上一熱,別過頭道:313Please respect copyright.PENANAF1U3Exgsuc
313Please respect copyright.PENANArGpDmkTE1f
「好啦好啦,正經八百的樣子超嘔心的,是不是被老妖婆罵傻了啊。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAbKAQN3GDRe
313Please respect copyright.PENANAeOrSWEXQYC
莫里斯這彆扭的反應更讓艾莉娜笑得開懷了。313Please respect copyright.PENANA5Eagmo9pYr
313Please respect copyright.PENANACbqNqUGCkY
也許這就是家人的樣子吧?313Please respect copyright.PENANAIabmj8alDI
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdgL38sEiRt
也許因為經常挨罵,艾莉娜對約克長老總是唯恐走避不及的。可是經過今晚的一番對話,這刻想起來約克長老,除了那份根深蒂固的恐懼之外,竟然還多了一份莫名的暖意。313Please respect copyright.PENANAzWJkaM03Mx
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcjNYCrWeME
艾莉娜看着治療室的門笑道:「也許真的是被罵傻了啊。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAqXMZYV1gJU
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJCsAs6Eofp
「其實老妖婆雖然嚴厲,但也不是完全蠻不講理啦。」莫里斯聳一聳肩的道:「例如上個星期你要請假去幫菲恩圖斯製作什麼解毒劑,當時批准你放假的人,就是老妖婆囉。」313Please respect copyright.PENANABGvdWe6TZb
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMGM5bqO6se
「咦?不是維克托祭司批准的嗎?」313Please respect copyright.PENANA35ZpFVy9Hc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAD5xU7qIqlo
「老妖婆不就是維克托祭司的上司囉!沒她的批准你怎能突然說請假就請假?」313Please respect copyright.PENANA6kRhxqyUjA
313Please respect copyright.PENANAiqvIAV0Y63
「可是昨天她還罵我沒有聖域職員的自覺,還冤枉我請假到外面玩!」313Please respect copyright.PENANA4qqUAfZ0YW
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZsjDobug1
看見艾莉娜一臉冤屈模樣,莫里斯不得不搖頭嘆氣道:「笨蛋!不這麼說的話,會有多少人拿你突然請假這件事來大做文章啊!」313Please respect copyright.PENANAXZIl3or2Yo
313Please respect copyright.PENANA6LUth66G63
艾莉娜聞言,終於恍然大悟的發出了「啊」的一聲。313Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbzucg2ee
313Please respect copyright.PENANAibdCjF4EYo
「老妖婆一向對人對事都非常嚴謹,如果對你網開一面的事情被拿來炒作,以後就很難再讓所有人信服啦。」313Please respect copyright.PENANA3yymV9S5Qr
313Please respect copyright.PENANARSc6HpoJoH
「約克長老這麼嚴厲,其實是因為過去發生了一些事情。」313Please respect copyright.PENANAlGjbnZjI8j
313Please respect copyright.PENANA2hieX1ZcFW
艾莉娜想起那位犧牲自己性命去拯救病人的仕犽醫療隊總長。313Please respect copyright.PENANAesOeMuXvjB
313Please respect copyright.PENANAm09s529AnR
如果摯愛為了堅信心中的價值而犧牲了自己,那麼活下來的人應該用怎樣的想法去面對往後的日子?313Please respect copyright.PENANAkGYrHD7agq
313Please respect copyright.PENANAkniQuFSRA7
約克長老拼命堅守丈夫所相信的那份價值而變得嚴厲,但作為兒子的托倫索卻認為那是一種自私的表現。313Please respect copyright.PENANAFvaXMJTRjJ
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3vWwlSlsQi
想到這裡艾莉娜又發出「啊!」的一聲,把莫里斯嚇了一跳。313Please respect copyright.PENANAsFs250Tc0p
313Please respect copyright.PENANAUSptUT2jgF
「你這次又怎麼啦?」313Please respect copyright.PENANAinRI5gZMV9
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZpREcjNY2
「我想起有件事要辦!會盡快回來!」313Please respect copyright.PENANAQycqI3pXDj
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3klXyHBDbj
艾莉娜說著便拔腿往外跑,留下莫里斯一個人在走廊裡乾瞪傻眼。313Please respect copyright.PENANAsvDxATT2D6
