Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 420

What Queenie said gave me a glimmer of hope. I snapped back to reality, grabbed my phone, and dialed the number that I remembered by heart.

I heard the monotonous beep from the other end of the line. It persisted until the call ended automatically. No one picked up the call.

I didn't want to give up, so I made the call once more. Again, no one picked up. I kept trying and trying until a female mechanical voice told me that the number I called was no longer available.

"This isn't right. Something bad must've happened to Colin. I need to find him." Frantically, I tried to get up to pack my luggage. But my body was seized by fear. My trembling legs couldn't hold my weight, and I slumped to the ground. A searing pain spread from my knees and elbows.

"Calm down, Luna. We don't know everything yet. You won't be able to do anything even if you're there. Besides, the professionals are rescuing the victims. You can't do anything there. They won't let anyone enter the affected area." As a man, Andrew was more level-headed during a crisis.

"What do we do, then?" Queenie supported me and checked on my wounds. Then, she went to the bedroom to get some ointment for me.

I had never felt this scared, not even when Felix had schemed against me. My mind was a mess. Other than crying, I did not know what to do.

My world was crumbling down.

Colin truly had spoiled me, so much so that I lost my analytical skills and rationality when something bad happened. I could only cry. "Queenie! Colin is there. Is he injured? What if I can't see him anymore? I need to find him, Queenie. I need to be there for him."

"Don't jinx it. You're here. Colin will do everything he can to come back. Quit overthinking and crying. Our priority now is to get more information from them. Then, we discuss what to do next. Stay strong now, Luna. You can cry later."

I could cry later? What bad advice was that?

"I want to go to Lagado now."
