Todos los capítulos de I'm Just an Outsider in My Mother's Home: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

After all, I hadn't kept Mom or Dad company at home ever since marrying Kevin and moving in with him, and it had made me very accommodating with my family's demands.I even repeatedly tolerated it when they started replacing me in the family portraits with Vivian's photos and serving only her favorite dishes during every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner over the past few years.I even comforted myself, saying that it was good for someone to keep Mom and Dad company while I wasn't at home. I thought that nothing else mattered as long as my parents were happy.But now, the persimmon incident had thoroughly woken me up from my delusions.Since they were treating me like an outsider, there was no point in my continuing to make a fool of myself.I chuckled coldly and said, "I'm not thinking of doing anything. I just wish you and your family all the best."After that, I went into my room to pack up my things.Dad came in after me and slapped me hard across the cheek."Don't you know

"How could you do this to us? What have I ever done wrong? Where did I go wrong to have given birth to such a horrible and vicious daughter like you? I don't want to live anymore!" Mom screamed before rushing over to the table to bash her head against the corner.Everyone quickly held her back.Isaac's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at me."Irene Sherman! Are you happy only if you completely destroy and tear the family apart like this?"Meanwhile, Mom kept trying to kill herself, and the rest of the family hurriedly brought her out of the room. Soon, only Vivian and I were the only ones left.She pretended to be concerned about me as she said, "You know, Irene, I never thought that everyone in your family would actually stand up for me against you over such a minor grievance."I guess you can pin the blame on me all you want, but you really should stop making Mom and Dad mad. They won't be able to take it."Then, she leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "But don't worry. I

"Irene, it's good to forgive and forget," Cathy said. "Mom and Dad are getting old. They can't take this anymore."See, you've also already slapped Vivian and taken out your anger on her. Let's just call it quits and take a step back, alright? We'll all compromise and just enjoy our Christmas dinner tonight. We can talk things out."I felt like I'd just heard the most pathetic joke of the century."Did you seriously think that I would still sit at the same table to share a meal with any of you?"I looked around at everyone, saying, "From today onward, I will not have anything to do with the Shermans anymore. I'm severing ties with you all."Let's go, Kevin."Kevin helped me up and glared coldly at the rest of my family. "This isn't over. I will be getting Rene's injuries medically and professionally assessed. You'd all better pray that she's alright."With that, he helped me out of the door to the suffocating place I used to call my home.Mom's upset cries and Dad's anguished y

The piercing siren of the ambulance echoed through the quiet neighborhood.Dad suffered a stroke due to a sudden heart attack. Meanwhile, Mom suffered a heart attack due to severe hypertension. They were both rushed into the emergency room.Isaac and Ivan both stood dejectedly at the emergency room door, looking completely defeated. Cathy folded her arms over her chest, a little distance away, looking at them coldly and mockingly.Meanwhile, Vivian had already disappeared, turning off her phone and refusing to reply to any messages. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Mom's and Dad's conditions finally stabilized and were transferred to a ward.Dad was paralyzed on one side, and his speech was slurred. Mom suffered from heart damage and needed long-term rest.When they learned of the exorbitant medical and treatment costs and the need for long-term care, the reality finally crashed on them and crushed their last shred of
