DX looked at Jack who was facing him with his back.
His small body was trembling and even though he could not see his son's face, he knew that Jack was trying his best not to cry.
He removed his hand from the top of Jack's head and placed it on his son's shoulder before he replied,
"I didn't want to tell you because you were young and I don't want you to feel that it was your fault or anything. You didn't do anything wrong and there was nothing you could have done to protect Lyle..."
"...Even though I have only known you for a couple of months then, I could tell that you are a kind boy and you'd definitely wondered why it's him and not you..."
Jack wrapped his hands around his knees and placed his face down so that he could hide the tears that were flowing down his cheeks.
He rarely cried but the past couple of days, he felt as if he was a little boy again.
DX sighed and did not attempt to console his son. He was old enough to know the answers to all his questions.
