The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1004

The clothes John had worn were hanging in the bathroom on a rack. Sophia picked up the clothes and took a look at them. It was evident that John had changed his clothes because he wasn’t wearing these when he left earlier.

The clothes in Sophia’s hands were a set of black sportswear. She touched it and found that the hem was a little damp. Squeezing it a little, she then looked at her fingers and found that they were stained red.

Walking over to the sink, she turned on the tap, put the clothes in, and shook it inside the water. Sure enough, the water turned light red, proving that John’s clothes were stained with blood.

Stunned, Sophia’s heart trembled a little. She put the clothes back, and then hurriedly came out of the bathroom and returned to the bed. This time, she turned on the bedside lamp, then lifted the quilt and looked at John’s waist. John woke up in a daze after being pushed around by her.

Sophia quickly asked, “Are you hurt?”

John paused, squinted at Sophia, and then sighed. Feeling helpless, he put his arm around her and told her to lie down. “Don’t think too much. I’m not injured. The blood stains on my clothes belong to someone else.”

Sophia frowned. “What did you do tonight? Why is there blood on your clothes? Did something happen?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

John’s voice was a little hoarse, and she could hear that he was really tired. “It’s okay. It’s really okay. Don’t think too much.”

He probably knew that if he didn’t make things clear to her now, Sophia wouldn’t be able to sleep. So, he hugged her in his arms and gave her a brief explanation. “There was a slight accident tonight, but I

wasn’t hurt. I was standing at the side, and I had many subordinates with me. The matter was resolved quickly, but maybe their blood had splashed onto my clothes. I’m really fine though.”

After that, he smoothed Sophia’s hair and continued, “If you really don’t believe me, check my body tomorrow morning. I’m really fine. Don’t worry. I’m alright.”

Then, he smiled to ease the atmosphere. “If I’m injured, I would surely seek a doctor to bandage the wound first. You can touch my body now and see that there is no trace of any bandage at all.”

He pulled Sophia’s hand and had her touch his waist. There really was no bandage and his waist was smooth. Because he took a bath just now, his skin was still a little bit damp.

Only then did Sophia slowly relax. “John, you must be careful. I’m really scared.”

John nodded. “I know. Don’t worry. I treasure my life very much. I still want to watch our baby being born into this world.”

Sighing, Sophia did not continue to ask any further questions. John looked very tired now, so she decided to wait until the next day before talking more to him.

Hugging Sophia, John fell asleep at once, but Sophia really couldn’t sleep this time. She thought of a lot of things in her heart, but these things did not seem to connect with each other. In the end, she stayed awake until dawn.

As Sophia waited for John to wake up, she first lifted the quilt and checked his body. John really didn’t lie to her; he didn’t have a single wound on his body. Then, she checked his arms and legs, which were fine too.

Patting her chest, she breathed a sigh of relief. “I really was almost scared to death.”

John leaned against the bed and squeezed Sophia’s face before leaning in to kiss her. “Don’t worry. I brought so many subordinates there, so I definitely went prepared. When have I done something that I’m unsure of?”

After that, he raised his arms and hugged Sophia. The two of them leaned against the headrest of the bed while John said, “Remember how the Bailey Family’s shadow bank was found to be problematic? Last night, we sneaked into the shadow bank according to the map given by Logan before. I thought that it would be empty inside since it had been spot-checked once. However, we found that there were still people inside after we went in yesterday. There was a little scuffle at the time, but I was fine. We escaped without any casualties. Today, I’ll get some people to go over and check it out again.”
