Allergic to Fatherly Love novel Chapter 5

Mom looked at him in disbelief. "Judah, are you seriously not letting this go just because Sofia spit out the crab meat that could have triggered her allergies? That’s your daughter!"

Dad waved his hand dismissively. "I don’t have a daughter like that. If I catch her, I’ll beat her to death for trying to kill someone at such a young age!"

I shouted back, "I didn’t do it!"

Even though I’m young, I know that only bad people hurt others, and I’m not a bad person!

But Dad couldn’t hear me.

Mom, furious, tried to hit him. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Sofia harm anyone when she’s so little?"

This seemed to spark an idea in Dad’s mind. He pointed at Mom and said, "You’re right! The idea to throw acid on Violet must have been yours. How else would Sofia, being so young, get her hands on acid?"

Mom, enraged, grabbed a decorative vase by the door. "Throw acid? When did this happen? Where? Do you have any proof? If you dare to slander my daughter, I’ll go down with you!"

"Yesterday morning. Violet was shopping at the mall when a child threw acid on her. That child’s height, appearance, even her fucking clothes were identical to what Sofia was wearing at the party. The mall’s surveillance cameras caught the whole thing!"

Dad, looking smug, pulled out his phone and played a video, tossing it to Mom.

I stood on my toes and craned my neck to watch the video with Mom. The footage did show what Dad described.

But I was already dead—how could I have thrown acid?

Dad, seeing Mom’s silence, clearly believed she recognized the child in the video as me. He crossed his arms and said in a condescending tone, "See, I’m not wrong. Sofia is my daughter—I’d never mistake her. Hand her over, and I’ll take her to apologize to Violet on her fucking knees. Given my relationship with Violet, she won’t hold it against Sofia. This way, the police can close the fucking case quickly. Otherwise, when they arrive, it’ll be a different story."
