The psychologist's tone was gentle . [ ] " Perhaps it's not just you , but also the people around her , the environment . If you don't believe it , we can do another experiment . " For the next few days , Dad and my brothers weren't home . [ ] They said they were going camping together . Before , I would definitely cry and make a fuss to go with them . ] Now I felt nothing and didn't want to go . The nutritional meals the nutritionist made seemed to start having flavor . ] That day I ate an entire bowl of vegetable soup and a sandwich . My stomach was stuffed full . ] Just three days , and I curled up on the sofa sleeping like a little ball . ] When Dad came back , he picked me up . ] He pinched my cheek " Our Claire is so beautiful . You've been well - fed these past few days . " ] My brothers agreed , saying I was the prettiest sister . ] But they were also the ones who used to call me a toad . [ ] Toads are obviously ugly . That very night , I threw up everything I'd eaten again . ] In the middle of the hight , my stomach felt uncomfortable and I wanted to go downstairs for water . Half of Dad's face was hidden in shadow , his voice very low . ] " What's the verdictr " It's confirmed that little Miss is under under great stress when she's around you ." " Given the current situation , we can only change the environment . " ] I'd never seen Dad look so dejected . [ ] " We've made so many efforts . Isn't there any other way ? " " This is the only method that doesn't require medication . " " For the child's development , I suggest changing environments or going to stay with someone else she's close to . " " I won't be coming tomorrow . " Dad's fingers tapped on the table one by one . His figure was tall - more handsome than all the other children's fathers at kindergarten . [ ] Yet only made me felt cold . ] " Fine . " The doctor still said . " I suggest you seriously consider this for the child's health . " [ ] Dad said nothing . After a very long time , Dad turned around and finally saw me standing on the steps . His eyes were red again . " Are you hungry ? " I shook my head . ]] Strangely , after being so hungry before , I didn't feel hungry anymore even when I didn't eat . ] I saw big tears rolling down from Dad's eyes . [ ] Just like me before . ] But I couldn't cry anymore . [ ] I could only reach out my little hand to wipe them away . [ ] With my other hand clutching Dad's sleeve , I tried hard to stand on my tiptoes to wipe them . ] His whole body was trembling slightly as he gently held my hand . ] ] " It's all Daddy's fault . " " Daddy was too obsessive . That's why your mother was been drove away , why your brothers treat you like that . " [ ] But Daddy , you treated me the same way too . Otherwise , how would my brothers have dared ? ] ] But I couldn't say it . Dad looked at me , tears streaming down , his voice choked up " Sweetheart , can you call me Daddy one more time ? " )
