Where's Your Son?

"Where's your son?" Christian asks suddenly.

The question surprised Ella.

"My son…"

Ella mumbled quietly, as if she was immersed in another world, one that Christian did not understand.

The only thing that keeps him going through his days in a mental hospital is his son. He relies on his memory of his son.

But where is the child now? He didn't even know where his son was now…

"He's gone."

Ella closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again, her gaze was vacant. He couldn't even bear to look at Christian. Her eyes darted to nowhere but the man holding her, as if trying to keep herself from falling apart.

One question was enough to make Ella's defenses crumble. As if he had lost the sense of security he had, his lips trembled slightly.

"He's gone. What should I do?" she whispered.

Christian's chest hurts a little when he hears Ella's soft voice. He was annoyed at the question he asked himself.
