Her Alistair, unlike other children, was different.
When she was abroad, she had a friend who was a very close psychiatrist.
That friend of hers had treated a patient.
The patient was a one-week-old child.
The child never communicated with anyone, was not sad or happy, and was completely immersed in his own world, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
At that time, his friend, a psychiatrist, said that the child was severely depressed, autistic, misanthropic, paranoid and extremely dysfunctional.
She asked her friend if a child that young could be depressed.
Her friend said categorically, "Of course he can!
Even younger children can get depressed under the influence of certain circumstances.
Severely depressed people, who do not feel the warmth of the world, will choose to die if one day their inner world completely collapses.
It was more frightening than just paediatric autism.
Freya's heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. Her Alistair's symptoms looked like whatever depression her friend was talking about, and he had locked himself inside an ivory tower, completely cut off from the world.
She had seen Kiki suffer from severe depression many times, and she knew how terrible it was.
However, no matter what her Alistair becomes, he is her favourite baby, and she will grow up with him and do everything she can to bring sunshine back into his heart and feel the splendid colours of the world.
After leaving Alistair in Freya's care, Caelan also had some of the things that Alistair normally used sent to her room.
Freya had been holding Alistair for a long time, and she felt that at this point in time, he should be hungry.
She carefully placed him in his cot and planned to make him milk powder to drink.
The milk powder that Caelan provided for Alistair was good, and as soon as she opened the box of milk powder, she could smell the nice smell of milk.
Freya didn't know how much Alistair could eat, so she gave him 90ml, so he could drink to pamper his tummy first.
Alistair did not resist eating, and he quickly drank all the milk numbly.
Freya had just felt relieved that Alistair was eating well, but he vomited out all the milk he had just drunk.
"Alistair!"
Freya was shocked by this situation, she had heard Dr. Helen say that Alistair had serious anorexia, just now when she saw Alistair drink the milk, she thought she was deliberately scaring her, but she did not expect Alistair to be really anorexic.
"Alistair, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fed you so much milk at once."
Freya kept talking to Alistair as she scrambled to wipe away the stains on his body, "Alistair, don't worry, next time, I will feed you less. You have to eat well, so that when you grow up, you can become a big handsome boy!"
"My Alistair will be extraordinarily handsome when he grows up! You're so much like Kieran, how can you not be handsome! My Alistair will definitely be even more handsome than Daddy when he grows up!"
