She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 418

When Brandon woke up, he saw himself lying in a hotel room. The room was very dark, and only the bedside lamp was lit.

Lindsay sat motionless at the desk with her arms crossed. Her back was leaning on the chair, and she seemed to be asleep. There was a laptop on the desk in front of her, and the screensaver was on. with the time displayed in white digits: [01:31] Brandon remembered that he became unconscious at around eight in the evening. In other words, he had slept for at least five hours.

'While Zayn and Athena are fighting terrorists, I'm here sleeping in a bed of a luxury hotel?' Brandon thought, and he really felt like shooting himself in the head.

But it was useless to think about that now. He struggled to sit up and got out of bed. He picked up his phone from the bedside table and only realized that the battery was flat.

He got more furious and babbled in his head. 'Lindsay knew what kind of situation I was in, and she didn't charge my phone for me? Forget it, there's no point in arguing about this now.'

He grabbed the charging cord on the table and plugged it into his phone. At the same time, he picked up Lindsay's phone and tried to figure out the passcode. He entered his birthday and bingo!

What he did woke Lindsay up, though. Lindsay opened her eyes and sat up straight. "Brandon, you're awake?"

Brandon couldn't spare time to answer her question. He quickly called Jaden. "Hey, Brandon here. How are Zayn and Athena?"

Jaden sounded very tired. "They're still safe for now. Zayn injured his leg. He can only use a wooden stick as a walking stick and walk very slowly. He has already reached the depths of Wyomarlo City and is very close to where the terrorists are." Brandon took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry that I ran away at the last minute. I'll rush over now."

Jaden said, "I can't help much here, anyway. I think it's better if you stay at the hotel. Don't come over for the time being."

However, Brandon had already hung up. He grabbed the portable charger and his phone and was about to leave.

Lindsay grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"
