The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 313
After all this time, Atticus should’ve been long out of the loo.
What would he do if he came out and couldn’t find anyone?
Thalassa didn’t dare to think further. It scared her just thinking about it.
She rushed to the bathroom with the remaining three kids.
Upon reaching the bathroom, there was no one outside, and Atticus wasn’t at the entrance of the men’s room either.
Thalassa started to get nervous. She asked Dorian to check the men’s room to see if Atticus was there.
Dorian obediently went into the men’s room.
He knocked on each of the individual bathroom doors, calling out, “Atticus, it’s Dorian, are you in there?”
He searched from the first stall to the last one, then from the last back to the first.
There was no trace of Atticus in any of them.
Dorian came out of the men’s room and told Thalassa, “Mom, Atticus isn’t in there.”
Thalassa, already on edge, became increasingly anxious. Her hands and feet started to shake uncontrollably, “Stay behind me.
We’ll check the ladies’ room together.”
Atticus was missing. She didn’t want to lose track of any other child. Boys weren’t supposed to enter the ladies’ room, but she
couldn’t care less now.
Upon reaching the ladies’ room, Thalassa shouted loudly, “Atticus, are you in there? Atticus, it’s Mom!”
A child opened the door and walked out.
Thalassa quickly looked. Thinking it was Atticus, her worries eased slightly.
But then she saw it was a girl, her hair in braids, wearing a dress. The girl was about six or seven years old.
That wasn’t Atticus!

Thalassa’s momentarily relieved heart tightened again in an instant.
She shouted again.
A woman came out from another stall, taking the little girl with her. At first glance, she thought Dorian was a girl, so she didn’t
mind it. Then she noticed Dorian was wearing boys’ clothes. She looked closer and found Dorian was a boy.
The woman was somewhat displeased with Thalassa, “This is the ladies’ room. Why did you bring a boy in?”
Atticus was missing, and Thalassa was extremely anxious. She was in no mood to argue.
She said absent-mindedly, “I’m sorry. I lost a child. I was too worried to think.”
It was precisely because Atticus was a boy that she let him go to the men’s room alone.
If she really were unreasonable, she would’ve brought Atticus to the ladies’ room from the start and waited for him outside, none
of this would’ve happened.
She wouldn’t have lost Atticus.
She didn’t hope for others to understand her current anxiety and panic. She just wished they wouldn’t be so harsh on her.
But the woman was indeed very harsh. She told Thalassa, “It’s your own problem. Why should we understand you? My daughter
was still in the bathroom, and you brought a boy in! The child you raised will definitely become a criminal!”
Thalassa was already extremely anxious, and now her child was being accused.
Her anger was instantly ignited. But she held back her rage. She led Dorian and the other two children out of the bathroom, and
asked them to wait for her at the door, not to run around.
She returned to the ladies’ room. The woman was washing her hands, still muttering rudely, “You are so shameless. I curse your
whole family!”
Before she finished speaking, Thalassa grabbed the woman’s head and pushed her into the sink, her other hand turned off the
round switch in the sink. She turned the faucet to the maximum, soaking the woman’s face in water, “Shameless people, shut up
if you can’t speak properly! Can’t breathe? Let you feel it, there’s worse suffocation to come!”
