Unable to suppress the grief from her calm and collected face, she slowly closed her eyes and turned to slump against the wall and resting her forehead against it, her eyes misted with sorrow.
Xavier was now lying unconscious in his room, Antheena had not been gone long, and they said that Conrad was injured and taken away by Anthony, so who else was Matthew's opponent?
"Is it Hendrey?"
Skyler, Caleb, and Miguel were all there, so how could they not be Hendrey's opponent? However, there was still no news from Matthew. For Veronica, this was the worst news.
She bit her red lips tightly, her body trembling faintly when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs. After a quick sniffle, she straightened up and went into Xavier's room, subsequently closing the door.
In the bedroom, the lights were on, and Xavier was still lying unconscious on the bed. Back on the mountain, he had been bleeding excessively and drenched in blood. Moreover, the location of his injury was close to his heart, and he was in critical condition. After looking at the equipment by his bedside and seeing that everything was stable, she was able to let out a sigh of relief.
Walking to the bedside and looking at the familiar face, Veronica suddenly felt that it was a little unfamiliar, to the point where she didn't understand Xavier, nor his true thoughts.
Meanwhile, in the hall on the first floor, the phone that Thomas placed on the table suddenly rang, almost instantly attracting everyone's eyes to look over.
He almost reflexively grabbed the phone and answered it immediately, "How's it going over there? Right now, you…"
"Your brother has betrayed us. He…"
On the other end of the phone, Miguel's voice sounded. His words were like a thunderbolt that instantly shattered all hopes that Thomas had.
Thomas knitted his eyebrows. He asked, "W-What do you mean?"
