杰西卡从衣架上取下那件黑色羊毛大衣,“The weather has been unusually cold these days so we need to dress more warmly when going out, otherwise we'll freeze to death...Hey, where are my car keys? Ah, here they are.”
几分钟后,麦蓝看见了不远处一座巨大的建筑物,顶部的字牌是:Wansacity Central Hospital。这座楼目测有三十多层,静静地矗立在浓雾里,不想医院,像只蛰伏的怪兽。 随后车子驶入市中心医院的地下车库。麦蓝望着后视镜,只见随着入口处的卷闸门缓缓落下,有两个张牙舞爪的患者跟随车尾跑了进来。忽然砰砰两声枪响,他们就软绵绵地倒地,随后被一旁出现的几个警卫人员拖走。
“You are really adorable…”虽然她不擅长和小孩子说话,但这句话是发自内心的:索菲娅真的很漂亮。一头棕红色的卷发,一双灰绿色眼睛,完全是神话故事里的精灵女孩。她像个缩小版的夏洛蒂,想必她们是姐妹。
“I know I am adorable.”
“Well, errrr,”麦蓝拼命组织语言,“Is Charlotte your sister?”
“Charlotte is my sister.”
“How old are you?”
“Five.”
“What illness do you have?”
“I don’t know.”
“Didn't your sister tell you?”
“Charchar didn’t tell me.”
麦蓝感觉好像没有话聊了。
“You are really pretty.”
“I know I am pretty.”
麦蓝陷入沉默,正当她思考话题时,房间外传来夏洛蒂和杰西卡的争吵:
“I've already told you a hundred times, I did not steal anything from her! I …I can't understand a word you're saying! It’s so …It’s really utterly disappointing to me! You are really… really making no sense!”
