Chapter 1471
“Adrian! Where are you? If you don’t show yourself soon, Mom is going to show you what tough love is!”
A cold shiver ran down Adrian’s spine, and his hair stood on end.
He could tell by the tone of his mother’s voice that she was beyond furious.
A child’s instinct kicked in, and without thinking, Adrian retreated back into the bathroom stall, quickly closing and
locking the door..
He was terrified.
His mother’s voice was undoubtedly filled with rage. If he were found at this point, he’d certainly get a spanking.
After watching his son retreat back into the stall as if he’d seen a ghost, Marcus furrowed his brows in confusion.
What’s wrong with the boy now?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen a woman’s voice came from outside the restroom.
“Excuse me, is anyone in there?”
Marcus turned his head towards the restroom entrance but saw no one.
Perhaps respecting privacy, the woman stood outside the door and did not peek in.
The woman’s voice seemed familiar to Marcus, but his son’s odd behavior was more puzzling, so he didn’t pay
much attention to the woman’s voice.
Getting no response, the woman called out again. “If there’s anyone inside, please make a noise. If no one
responds in ten seconds, I’ll assume it’s empty, and I’ll need to come in to find someone.”
Marcus, having amnesia and limited interaction with the outside world, had no reaction to things that didn’t concern
him. Even though he heard the woman, made no sound.
“Well, I’m coming in.” The woman announced, and indeed, she stepped inside.
Upon entering the men’s restroom, Ellinor saw a man sitting in a wheelchair with his back facing the door, and not
far in front of him was a urinal.
Instinctively, assuming the man was preparing to relieve himself, she quickly averted her gaze.
“I’m sorry! I called out from outside and no one responded, so I thought it was empty.
Don’t worry, I won’t look. I’m just here to find my son.”
Marcus crinkled his brows in distaste but didn’t turn to look at the woman who had barged into the men’s restroom.
Ignoring the man, Ellinor went from stall to stall, knocking on the doors until she finally came across a locked one.
“Excuse me, is anyone in there?”
There was no response from inside the locked stall.
Having a hunch, Ellinor narrowed her eyes. “Adrian, are you in there?”
Still, no response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEllinor huffed and squatted down to peek under the stall door. As she suspected, she saw her son’s shoes.
“Adrian! Come out now! Mommy can see your feet. There’s no use hiding! Open the door! If you don’t, I’m going to
kick it down!”
After a moment of silence, the stall door finally opened, and a guilty-looking Adrian stared up at Ellinor.

Having found her son, Ellinor breathed a sigh of relief, though anger still burned in her heart. “You! Just yesterday, I
lectured you about not running off, and here you are doing it again! Wait till we get home! Let’s go!”
Since they were in the men’s restroom, Ellinor didn’t want to linger. She picked up her son and turned to leave,
consciously avoiding looking at the man at the urinal. Marcus, in the beginning, didn’t pay much attention to the
woman with the somewhat crude behavior until she opened the door to the stall.
And that stall was the one his son Tristan had initially gone into.
The woman did indeed carry a child out from there, and upon seeing clearly, he confirmed that the child was
Tristan.
There was no time to wonder why his son had reappeared in the original stall.
