Chapter 7 My three brothers said nothing . " Then none of you get to eat . All going to the basement . " ] " Claire was locked up for a day and night . " [ ] " You'll be locked up for three days . " ] David spoke first . " Dad , it was my idea . After Mom left , I always felt it was because of Claire . " ] " I let my brothers bully her . It's all my fault . " [ ] Marcus cried too , " Dad , I just wanted to see Mom . I just thought bullying Claire was fun . I never meant for her to become like this . " Ryan said , " Dad , we know we were wrong . We'll definitely treat Claire well from now on . " Dad's hand dropped weakly . [ ] " Do you still have that chance ? " He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples . [ ] " It's all my fault . I was too busy with work and neglected to discipline you properly . " ] " Butler , bring the rod . " Mr. Wilson's whole body trembled . [ ] " The young masters are only seven years old . Isn't this a bit much ? " " Say one more word and you're fired too . " Soon the living room filled with my three brothers ' screams . ] I didn't go downstairs . Just like how they had watched me before . I stood on the second floor watching silently . Until Dad got tired of beating them He threw down the rod . ] Blood pooled all over the floor . Mr. Wilson brought towels for him to wipe his hands . " Without punishment , they won't learn . Throw them in the basement for three days . " " Call a doctor to attend them . Don't let them die . " [ ] " Yes , sir . " But back then , no doctor watched over me . [ ] I almost died . ] Under the doctor's care , my three brothers were soon lively again . At dinner , Dad served me food . [ ] It had no taste in my mouth . ] As soon as I swallowed , I threw it back up . [ ] I stared at them fearfully , afraid they'd scold me . ] But this time no one found me disgusting . Dad even held me in his arms . " Are you still not feeling well ? " My brothers put down their forks too , all looking at me nervously . I shook my head . I couldn't eat anymore and was getting drowsy again . [ ] I saw tears glistening in my brothers ' eyes . ] " Dad , lately our sister seems unable to eat anything ? " ] Dad's voice was heavy . " Isn't that all thanks to what you did ! " The family nutritionist tried every way to get me to eat , making cakes shaped like carrots and my favorite little white rabbits . ] Sometimes I could manage a few bites . [ ] But when weighing me , the nutritionist always shook her head . A few more days passed . ] Katie , who hadirt come for a long time , rang our doorbell Katie held a red toy truck in her hands , timidly peeking out from behind the door . " David . " I looked at the red truck in her hands . [ ] I remembered how they wanted to have Katie as their sister . From now on , Katle would be their sister . [ ] David went upstairs , Ryan went to pour water . [ ] Marcus looked at me and asked , " Are you hungry , Claire ? " I shook my head . ] They hadn't looked at her at all from beginning to end . [ ] After a while , there was a phone call . ] Only Katie and I were left in the living room . ] She threw the toy truck hard on the ground , then started wailing . " David , Ryan , Marcus ! Claire broke my truck ! " ] I sat on the sofa , and hearing her words , I immediately tried to run . ] But Marcus stopped me , " Why are you running so fast ? " [ ] I still pushed the door open just a crack and listened to the conversation downstairs . [ ] The psychologist said , " Through observation during this time , the child has indeed developed psychological trauma . " ] " When little Miss gets close to you , she vomits during meals - it's a subconscious physiological reaction . " Dad couldn't believe it . " She used to depend on me the most ? "
