“Believe what you want, the truth is I've never stolen anything from her, even though I...stole from you.”
说完这句,夏洛蒂推门进来,立刻更换上甜美的笑容。索菲娅却紧紧抿着嘴唇,说:“You steal from others, Charchar.”
夏洛蒂大概是没想到她偷听了谈话,笑容瞬间僵硬,不自然地摆摆手:“No I'm not …”
“Charchar did not steal from anyone,Sophia. They were just rehearsing for the play, because the school year is about to start and there's a big welcome show for new students. Jessica was rehearsing lines from the play with Charchar. If you're interested, I can tell you the story of the script.”
麦蓝面不改色心不跳地撒谎,索菲娅似乎是信了,刚刚脸上的阴翳消失不见,“A play?”
夏洛蒂赶紧点头:“Yeah.”
“I want to know the story.”
“If you take these pills,I will tell you.”夏洛蒂倒出瓶子里的药丸,笑着说,“A very very interesting story and I guarantee you will like it.”
索菲娅嘟嘟嘴,头闷进被窝里好一会儿,最后妥协了,乖乖咽下药丸,小脸五官扭曲成一团。
“Story, right now.”
“OK,well, here is the story…”
忽然病房天花板上的指示灯开始闪烁,伴随刺耳的鸣笛声和警告: “EMERGENCY,EMERGENCY, Time for treatment, time for treatment. Leave the ward immediately, please. Thank you for your cooperation.” 麦蓝还没弄清楚怎么一回事,就被杰西卡拽到一旁将口罩带好;夏洛蒂忽然站起身,扭头就离开病床;而索菲娅,在听见刺耳鸣笛声的那一刻起开始号啕大哭,四肢挣扎扭动,将身上的被子抖落在地。麦蓝此刻才发现:原来索菲娅一直都被铁束带捆在病床上。
