前传1- A Beginning 一切的起点(5)
I had always felt some modicum of disdain from my father from even my earliest memories, but never knew why. He tried his hardest to pretend I wasn't there unless he had to, and even then it was quite clear he wanted nothing to do with me.
At the end only one loud voice prevailed and my father cast my mother from the house. It was the last time I saw her.
Days turned to weeks and I only heard from my mother through our babysitter in secret, away from the eavesdropping ears of my father as best as we could manage. Something about how she would come for us when she could, to try to stay strong with our father, stuff like that. My father's distant disdain turned to yelling and beating, but I tried to keep going. I'm at least glad Xhianei never had to deal with what I got, and both she and Parana tried to compensate for what my father forcefully took away. Slowly but surely my fear, too, grew to something more than that.
