Chapter 6 — One month and ten days after"You know that you are egoistic Mason?" Julia almost cries. "You don't want anyone except you! You are sitting here, enjoying by the pain and do not want to think of the other people!"
"Go away, Julia," Mason has already repeated hopelessly so many times. "Leave me alone."
"I won't!" Julia made a movement by with her hand as if she wanted to grab him by his jacket. Mason instinctively takes back though she did not touch him. "I won't let you bury yourself and your future! Do you remember when you did your last appearance in court?!"
Mason gave her a long glance and turned away to the window.
"Mason!"
He didn't answer, didn't even move. Julia lost her temper and jerked his arms by her hands. Mason sharply stood up, looked into Julia's eyes and shook off her hands. And then he quickly left the room.
"No, this is impossible!" wailed Julia and run downstairs.
"I am giving up, CC," she declared, bumping into him at the entrance door of the Capwells. "Your son needs the help of a psychiatrist. He is completely unwilling to listen to anything I say."
"He has a lot of hurt to deal with coping with Mary's death," CC made a tired movement with his shoulders. "I am sorry that you could not help him."
"I tried but without success. Good-bye, CC. Actually I wish you a really good luck."

"Dad, I can not! Don't you feel sorry for him!? I am already beginning to worry that he will do something terrible to himself. Like even killing himself! Tell him that Mary is alive!"
"Kelly, I can't. Listen, this news can kill him by its own. You think I can kill my own son?"
"And unless you don't tell him, you can be killing him by hiding this fact? When have you last talked with him??? When was the last time you have looked at his eyes?"
Kelly gave him a begging look, and then bites her lower lip.
"Mason is my brother. I love him. I can't watch him hurt like this when I know we have a chance to help him."
CC was silent. His face expressed immense tiredness. He had only this hope.
