In my journal entries for my English class, I am trying to describe the relationship the man has with his son in The Road by Cormac McCarthy by saying that "the man is terrified of losing his son, which is more apparent when he sees how thin the boy is." Is this correct?

Something can be or become more or less apparent, for some reason. However, it is not clear how seeing how thin the boy is makes the father's fear of losing him more apparent (than when? to whom?).
