Chapter 5 Why I Was Abandoned

Autor: Peachy Peach
I sucked in a sharp breath as a burst of pain shot through my nerves. I stopped trying to defend myself and bowed my head in apology.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. Cameron… I'm sorry. Can you please let go of me now?"

Vincent looked at the blood on my forehead, his expression conflicted. "Why didn't you dodge? Does it hurt?"

"Yeah. Dad didn't throw it that hard. Jasper, you could've dodged it. Why didn't you? Were you trying to make Dad feel guilty on purpose?"

Cameron even said it with a completely

  • Everyone Loved Me After I Left   Chapter 10 A Clean Road Ahead

    My parents and Alina acted like lunatics for the next few days.The mountain roads were rough, so they had truck after truck haul in all kinds of supplies—clothes, textbooks, toys. They even had a piano flown up by helicopter.I didn't keep a single thing for myself.Instead, I gave everything to the children in the mountains.They jumped for joy and threw their arms around me, their smiles as bright as the summer sun.My parents and Alina stood off to the side, their eyes filled with despondency and sorrow."I don't want your guilty compensation," I said calmly. "But I thank you on behalf of the children for helping them."…Two days ago, I was helping the villagers work in the fields when Serena insisted on lending a hand.She stepped on a rock, fell, and fractured a bone in her hand.She looked anxious as she cradled her injured hand, her voice trembling. "Jasper, I didn't mean to cause trouble. I just wanted to help. Please don't be mad at me."How odd. She was terrified

    "It really is you. You're alive. Thank God." Vincent looked me over carefully, tears streaming down his face.Alina looked utterly worn down. She stood there staring at me without looking away for even a second, as though I might disappear the moment she did.Serena rushed over too, reaching out to hug me. "Jasper, I finally found you…"I instinctively took a step back and avoided her hands.She froze, her hands hanging in midair."You… You're still angry with us, aren't you?" Vincent whispered tremulously."How did you find me?" I was confused, and rightfully so.I was told that the police had told them over and over again that I'd already been cremated. Apparently, that was the problem as the authorities couldn't cremate me so hastily without a family member's consent.So, they'd started searching for me, spending a fortune and hiring several private detective agencies just to find a trace of my whereabouts."We already lost you once. How could you make us lose you a second

  • Everyone Loved Me After I Left   Chapter 8 The Truth

    Alina chimed in, "I know a few facilities that specialize in treating people with issues like his."Serena slapped the glass of milk right out of Cameron's hand as soon as Alina's words fell, causing the scalding milk to splash all over his face.Cameron screamed in fright, and Alina hurried to wipe his face for him."Shut up!" Serena hissed, utterly incensed."Mom… What's wrong? Jasper's the one who made you angry! You shouldn't take it out on me." Cameron looked like he was about to cry."If you ever insult Jasper again, I swear to God I'll make you regret it." Vincent's expression darkened. He pulled a stack of documents from his bag and flung them at Cameron's face.Cameron looked down at them, and his face instantly went pale."You thought the police wouldn't be able to track you just because you disguised yourself and went to an internet cafe to message that parent?" Vincent snarled.Cameron's body started shaking uncontrollably.The confused Alina picked up the document

    Vincent and Serena arrived at the police station soon after and sat anxiously on the bench in the reception area."Officer, please don't lie to us. How could my son be dead?""I understand how you feel, but I'm sorry. Jasper Kingsley has been found and confirmed dead." The officer spoke slowly, emphasizing every word."You must be mistaken!" Vincent's voice cracked. "Maybe you mistook the victim for someone else! Jasper was very thin and small. He had a slight limp in his right leg, and he had scars on his face…"He couldn't finish.The officer looked at them in silence for a few seconds before pulling up the photographs and case records."This is the crime scene from last night. The victim who was hacked to death was indeed one Jasper Kingsley."One photograph after another was pushed toward them—blood, clothing, and finally, my face.Then, the officer brought out a photograph of the killer. It was the parent.Serena collapsed into the chair with a thud, covering her mouth. "

    Serena pointed at me, her eyes red with panic. "Don't hurt my son! He's Cameron!"Alina pulled Cameron behind her and shoved me forward. "Cameron developed a heart condition when he was little because he saved me. He can't handle stress. Jasper, you take his place."Vincent blurted urgently, "Jasper, you'll be fine. I'll come back for you in a little while. Just wait for me…"As they hurried away, shielding Cameron, the man grabbed me and slammed me face-first into the snow.A lone tear slipped from my eye as my face hit the snowbank.The knife came down again and again, slicing through my clothes and cutting into my flesh.I didn't scream. I didn't even bother struggling.If sacrificing me to protect Cameron was what they wanted, then I would give them exactly what they wanted.However, I saw the madness in the poor father's eyes just before I lost consciousness.The pain, the grievance, the fury, and the relief.'So, this is what it looks like when someone loves their child

Jasper, you could've dodged it. Why didn't you? Were you trying to make Dad feel guilty on purpose?"Cameron even said it with a completely innocent look on his face.Vincent's expression darkened. "It's a good thing that Cameron pointed that out. I almost let you fool me. Give me your adoptive parents' number. I'm going to ask them how they raised my son to turn out like this."I coughed out a bitter laugh.My parents had never once asked how I'd survived all these years even after I came home. This was the first time they even bothered, and they were interrogating me."They're not my adoptive parents. They were the people who
