Joey ran as fast as he could, as if he was being chased by something terrifying.He didn't notice the
man approaching him and accidentally bumped into him.
"Ouch!" shouted the man he had crashed into.
Unfortunately, Joey's head met the watch on the man's wrist.
The dull pain made him wince in shock.
He covered his forehead with his hand and took a few steps back.He held on to the wall for support
before he could finally stand on his own.
Although the man who was hit screamed in pain, Joey was the one who really hurt.
In the midst of the pain, Joey couldn't help but wonder how the man could be so pretentious.
But after all, it was his carelessness that had caused the accident.So he had to apologize for it.He let
the hand on his forehead fall to his side and looked up at the man.
"I'm sorry.I didn't mean to hit you."
Joey's eyes widened when he saw who the man was.
"Why are you here?"
Carson raised his eyebrows and bent over to get close to Joey, as if he had just recognized him.
"Oh, look who it is.It's Joe!"
Joey's face darkened.
He didn't want to be anywhere near Carson.
Seeing Joey's look of disdain, Carson didn't know how to feel.
Ever since the boy was kidnapped, he had started acting that way.
When he woke up from the coma, he didn't like his father for no reason, and by extension, he didn't like
Carson either.
"Little guy, why are you running so fast? Where are you going?" Carson asked.
Joey just pursed his lips as he tried to avoid Carson's gaze.
His childish little face seemed to spell out the words—none of your business.
Having the child retort at him silently, Carson's lips arched in a small bitter smile.
His eyes then landed on the red mark on Joey's forehead.He wanted to touch it.
But before he could, Joey moved out of the way.
"Hey!" Joey said coldly in his childish and stiff voice.
"What did I tell you, Joey? I'm your godfather.You can't be so rude to me."
Carson had been trying his best to get Joey to call him his godfather.
However, Joey never admitted that.
Joey pretended not to have heard Carson's words.
"Could you please step aside?"
"Huh?"
Carson was confused.
"You are in the way!"
Joey took a deep breath.
"I want to go to the bathroom! You don't want me to do my business here, do you? If that happens, I will
tell everyone that it is you who taught me to do that."
Carson felt helpless.
Still, he moved aside to let the boy pass.
Joey then trotted over to the men's room not far away from there.
As soon as he entered, Carson followed behind him and didn't stop until he got to the door of the
cubicle.
"Hey!"
Joey couldn't help but turn around, clearly infuriated.
"Are you going to follow me into the toilet?"
It was not until then that Carson realized that he seemed to have followed Joey too close for comfort.
He put his fist on his lips and cleared his throat to ease the embarrassment.
"You can go in now.I think you are old enough to go to toilet on your own."
‘Unbelievable"
Joey rolled his eyes.
Carson stepped to the side, leaned against the wall by the door of the cubicle, and put his hands in his
pockets.
He looked around before his eyes came back to the boy.
"You can go in now.I'll wait outside.Call me if you need anything."
With a snort, Joey turned around and walked into the cubicle, making sure to slam the door as hard as
he could.
At that moment, Carson felt as if his eardrums were smashed open by the loud bang.
It seemed that Joey had really planned his escape, so he was now angry because Carson had seen
through him and ruined it.
Joey sat on the toilet for about twenty minutes doing nothing.
The more he heard the noise outside the cubicle, the more frustrated he became.
In the first five minutes, Carson's humming came from outside from time to time.
Joey couldn't even tell what song he was humming because of how off-tune it was.
Ten minutes later, Carson finally stopped and it was quiet once more.
Just when Joey thought Carson was bored and was about to leave, an animated voice came from
outside.
"Timi!"
Instead of leaving, Carson was playing a game on his phone.
For ten minutes, the sound of the game came to Joey's ears from outside.
Knock! Knock! As Joey was hesitating whether he should go out or not, Carson knocked on the door of
the cubicle while his game character was about to revive.
"Little guy, it's been twenty minutes.Aren't you done yet? Do you have diarrhea? What did you eat that
could have caused it?"
Joey didn’t know what to say.So he chose to remain silent.
"Little guy?"
Carson knocked on the door again.
"Oh no! Don't tell me you fainted in there? I need to call the doctor now."
Joey's eyes lit up when he heard that.He thought that Carson would go out to find a doctor, so he
decided to escape as soon as he left.
But the next second, he heard Carson talk to someone on the phone.
"Hello, I'm in the men's room..."
Instead of going out to look for the doctor, Carson had called the doctor.
Joey's plan failed again! He had no choice but to go out.
If the doctor came and found him okay, it would be so embarrassing.
Before Carson could finish his sentence, the door to the cubicle opened with a click.
"I don't have diarrhea!"
Joey stared at him angrily.
"Oh, it is good that you don't then, I guess."
Carson took his phone from his ear and smiled smugly.
He showed him the phone screen and said, "Also, look at that.I didn't call the doctor."
