Shrimp Dumplings and Silence

Summary

I was severely allergic to shrimp. Even touching the broth could make it hard for me to breathe.

They used to treat me like a fragile little princess no one could touch.

So there was never seafood at home, and even relatives were reminded before each family gathering.

Then my little sister was born, and everything changed.

Shrimp became her favorite food. She kept asking Mom to make it for her.

That was the first time Mom snapped at me. "Can't you just stay away from it? Do you really have to make your sister unhappy?"

Dad only shut the kitchen door and handed me a mask.
