After Bruno's tragic and mysterious death, Father realised what had happened, and "found that his legs seemed to stop working right". Perhaps at that moment of realisation, Father then asked himself a question. A question that had only one person to blame.
"Why didn't I tell him?"
Why didn't Father tell Bruno? He probably thought that he was shielding him from unnecessary knowledge and unnecessary burden. However, if that had been the case, then it had backfired on him, for ignorance only fuelled the curiosity of Bruno, and led to the end of his story.
It may only be a story, and that could be why we will probably never know.
