Alexander wanted answers but after expressing himself and seeing that all his parents did was stare at him; his mother had tears in her eyes while his father looked at him with sympathy, he left the room to go stay on the terrace so that could receive fresh air while sulking.
Alexander's parents stared at each other. His father was being strong while his mother broke down in her husband's arms.
"I understand how he feels but he doesn't know how dangerous the world out there is for him," his mother, Mrs Chan said to her husband.
"Perhaps it's time we tell him. He's getting older and a day might come when we'd no longer be with him. It's time we tell him why we are scared of freeing him," Mr Chan, Alexander's father said.
