Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1522

The figure carrying a plastic basin was walking downstairs from the drying terrace. His head was lowered, entirely unaware of Emmy standing in the shadows. Emmy froze for a moment before calling out to him.

"Andrew."

At the sound of her voice, Andrew's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He lifted his head, his usually composed face flashing with sheer disbelief the moment he recognized her. He hurried over with the basin in hand.

"Emmy? What are you doing in this godforsaken place?"

Just as his words fell, a missile trailing flames roared overhead. A deafening explosion echoed from a few miles away. Andrew furrowed his brow and let out a heavy sigh.

"Let's go inside to talk."

The two of them stepped into the corridor. They didn't venture too far in, as the rundown hotel lacked a proper lounge area. The owner had long since fled, leaving only two staff members behind to manage the place. They stopped near a ventilation shaft in the hallway. Emmy looked at Andrew's exhausted face and asked softly, "Did you manage to rescue Laney?"

Andrew nodded, letting out a long breath of relief. "We got her out. Thanks to James's help, I was able to bring Laney out safely. However, she was quite traumatized, and I lost many of the men I brought with me during our escape. We have no choice but to lay low here for a few days until we can scout a safe route out." He paused, a hint of helplessness creeping into his tone. "All the signal towers here have been bombed. Without any reception, I haven't been able to send a message out. Teresa must be worried sick."

Hearing this, Emmy immediately reached into her pocket. "I brought a satellite phone. Let me text mom to let her know we're safe."

She tapped away, quickly sending a brief message to Teresa, confirming that Andrew had successfully rescued Laney and that everyone was currently secure. Once the message was sent, she tucked the phone away. Andrew's gaze shifted back to her, his tone turning deadly serious.
