Todos los capítulos de Banished Because Dad's Allergic to Me: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

Dad was sitting on the couch, flipping through a photo album. He was dressed in a clean, linen shirt. He looked healthy, and his face was bright and clear. It was impossible to tell that he was suffering from an allergy. He looked up when he heard the door creak open. "You're back," he said lightly when he spotted me.I nervously stood at the door, having no idea what to say. In the end, I managed a quiet, "Dad."Just then, my younger brother, Seth Jameson, ran over to Dad's side in a small suit. He offered his book to him, asking in a clear voice, "How do you read this word, Dad?"A gentle smile stretched across Dad's face in an instant. He pulled Seth into his arms and patiently pointed at the words on the book, teaching him how to read them.I watched the scene unfold before me in a daze. I felt as if I could see an image of my past self overlapping and separating with the scene before me."Be quiet, Kevin."Those were the words that I heard the most before I turned seven.

Mom and Dad locked me in my room and punished me by not letting me eat. They even demanded that I apologize to Seth.I had no desire to explain myself to them. I knew that they didn't care about the truth. Even breathing was a crime for the child who wasn't loved.…I was jolted awake by the sounds of coughing in the middle of the night.I snuck to Mom's and Dad's bedroom and stood outside the door. I could hear the sounds of conversation coming from within."Are you having a headache again?" Mom asked."I dreamed about Kevin when he was a child," Dad replied. "He kept chasing after me, and I couldn't get away no matter how hard I tried. My head started hurting then. It's like an incessant throbbing…"Mom sighed. "That's all in the past now. You were under a lot of pressure then, so we had no choice but to lie to Kevin and send him away. That's the only reason why we have Seth now. We did what was best for everyone.""I get irritated just looking at his gloomy face!" Dad exclai

A hint of panic flickered across Mom's and Dad's faces.Mom immediately stepped forward, her voice dropping to a harsh hiss. "You're forbidden from bringing this up again! You won't breathe a word of this to anyone else. Do you hear me?"Dad tightened his grip on Seth as if he was afraid that I would snatch him away, staring at me with a complicated look in his eyes."It's true that we adopted Seth, but we loved him as if he was our flesh and blood from the moment he stepped through the door," he said.I couldn't help but feel how absurd the entire situation was.Although I was their biological son who had their blood flowing through my veins, they saw me as an eyesore and despised everything about me.Meanwhile, they treated Seth, who didn't share a single drop of blood with them, with endless patience and love.I was always under the impression that Seth was Mom's and Dad's biological son. I assumed that they had given birth to him after I utterly disappointed them because the

I nearly didn't recognize Mom and Dad.They looked absolutely haggard, as if they had aged twenty years. Gone were the elegant and composed demeanors that they used to carry themselves with.Although only a few years had passed since I last saw them, it was as if time itself had created a vast distance between us.Mom and Dad were still stuck in the time when I was seven, while I had already walked forward into the future."Kevin," Dad called hoarsely. "Please come home with us, Kevin."I stood rooted to the spot and just looked at them coldly."Seth… He…"Mom opened her mouth, but she seemed too ashamed to speak. Finally, she let out a long sigh and said, "We were wrong, Kevin. We never should have adopted him. You're the good one. You're our wonderful son.""Your wonderful son?" I repeated, the corner of my lips twitching up into a smile. "But if I remember correctly, the two of you have always hated me."Mom's sobbing intensified at my frosty tone."Seth was lying to us th

The next day, my lawyer and I showed up at Mom's room in the hospital."Kevin… W-What do you think you're doing?" Dad asked, staring at me in disbelief."Solving a problem," I answered.I gestured for my lawyer to hand a document to Dad before continuing, "This is a formal legal notice. I'm officially filing a lawsuit against you for abandonment and defamation.""Abandonment? When did we abandon you? We… We only did what we did for your sake!" Dad exclaimed."You lied to me when I was only a seven-year-old child and abandoned me in the countryside for six years. You didn't care for me at all and left me to fend for myself. You were only forced to take me home after Grandpa passed away. If that doesn't count as abandonment, I don't know what does."I looked at him coldly before continuing, "As for defamation, you spread countless baseless rumors about me in my university. Shall I invite all the witnesses here to vouch for me?""Monster! You're a monster!" Mom shrieked."Don't fo
