He didn't say anything, he only was intrigued.
It signifies that Jonas is different than others. Why was he able to indicate a change in the apple, and his friend Asher, was not able to? This foreshadows that Jonas has a special ability which later will be known as the "ability to see beyond."
In The Giver by Lois Lowry, it is inferred throughout the story that the Giver loves Jonas as a father figure. The depth of their relationship is portrayed through their emotional connection, trust, and the sacrifices the Giver makes to help and protect Jonas. While the book does not explicitly state "The Giver loves Jonas," the bond between them is evident in their interactions and the Giver's actions towards Jonas.
The Giver would say that Jonas had escaped to Elsewhere, which suggests that he had left the community to start a new life beyond its limits. The Giver would likely emphasize the freedom and potential for growth that Jonas now had outside of their controlled society.
The Giver defends Jonas's father by explaining that he carries out his duties as assigned by the community and is simply following the rules of their society. The Giver tries to help Jonas understand that his father's actions are a result of the strict control and conditioning imposed by the community.
There are several types of foreshadowing the The Giver.When Jonas sees the apple, Fiona's hair, the faces, and the books, we know that something is going to happen corresponding to these changes. Another example is when Lily points out the difference in Jonas's and Gabe's eyes. This shows us that something is different about them and later we find out what that is. Further examples are when the rules say "You may lie" because this causes us to believe that people could be lying all the time. There are other examples but those are some of the general ones.
The Giver said "forgive me" because he was asking forgiveness for the pain and suffering he had to inflict on Jonas by transferring painful memories to him as part of his training as the Receiver of Memory. It was a way for him to acknowledge the difficulty of his actions and seek understanding from Jonas.

That they go elsewhere, he never mentions that the child gets murdered.
In "The Giver," Jonas says "I am starving" during the part when he is experiencing hunger for the first time after being exposed to real emotions and sensations in the memory of a family enjoying a holiday feast. This moment represents Jonas's growing awareness of the limitations of the controlled society he lives in.
That is said on Page 98. Jonas says "What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?"
in the rules the giver gave Jonas, it told him that he was not to say anything about his assignment.
