章 494: She Thought

Gu Zi had mentally prepared herself for the eventuality of getting wet. After all, she had already planned to give herself a thorough wash after bathing her daughter, so she wasn't concerned about getting wet.

After bathing the little girl, she lifted her out of the tub, changed her clothes, and placed her on the bed. Handing her a small toy, she gently stroked her head and said, "Mommy is going to take a bath now, you play here by yourself, be good!"

Gu Zi gathered her change of clothes and headed towards the bathroom. Just as her hand touched the doorknob, she heard the sound of the bedroom door unlatching. She took a step back as the bedroom door swung open, revealing a tall, slender figure standing in the doorway. He was dressed in a military green short-sleeved shirt and the camouflage pants he often wore.

The man's well-defined hand hung by his side, a knife wound on the back of his hand still seeping blood.
