Chapter 534 The Wrong Boy
Nobody understood better than Queenie what it felt like to have one’s child in someone else’s hands.
Cecilia took Elliot to the restroom. After leading the child to the entrance of the men’s restroom, she waited outside.
Before long, several tall men also entered the restroom.
Jonathan happened to be in the restroom. After checking the time, he figured the middle–aged
man had already left. Thus, he ventured out, only to find himself face to face with three tall men.
Before he could react, one of them pressed a cloth soaked in some sort of drug against his mouth and nose.
Everything before Jonathan’s eyes turned black, and he fainted before he could call for help.
The man shrugged off his black coat, wrapping it around Jonathan, and hoisted Jonathan up to carry him outside.
Inside the restroom, after Elliot was done with his business and washed his hands, he was about
exit when he was abruptly caught by Zachary, who had come looking for Jonathan.
“You little sh*t! You’ve been in the restroom for over an hour! I thought you had fallen into the toilet bowl!”
As he spoke, Zachary noticed that the clothes Elliot was wearing were just ordinary overalls. He couldn’t help but find it odd. “Why did you change your clothes? Where did you buy this outfit? It looks so childish.”
Elliot looked at the slightly foolish and tipsy man in front of him and said, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
Zachary was taken aback. “What?”
“I’m Eli, not Jon.” Elliot was on the verge of rolling his eyes at him. He couldn’t believe Zachary couldn’t tell the difference between him and Jonathan, given how distinct they were.
Seeing that Zachary wasn’t releasing his grip, Elliot warned, “Let go of my overalls quickly, or I’ll
scream.
Zachary studied him closely. He looks exactly like Jon, yet he’s definitely not an old soul in terms of personality.
Not only did Zachary not let go, but he also pinched Elliot’s reddened cheek, which was caused. by frustration.
“Where’s Jon?” Zachary asked.
Elliot absolutely detested it when people casually touched his face, his eyes filled with annoyance.
10:19 AM
Upon hearing Elliot’s shouts coming from the men’s restroom, Cecilia didn’t think twice before rushing in. “Eli, what’s wrong?”
Zachary’s hand, which was holding Elliot’s overalls, stiffened. He looked at Cecilia’s all too familiar face, feeling inexplicably flustered. “Cecilia, let me explain. I was just teasing him.”
