Andrew realized that he had forgotten about someone: Rowan!
She had risked her own life trying to rescue him earlier. Although she had not succeeded, the gesture alone spoke volumes.
While Andrew did not feel any romantic stirrings for her just yet, he still felt somewhat indebted to her, especially since he had successfully escaped from Goldridge. If she had not heard the news and tried again to pull some reckless stunt, that would spell real trouble.
Soon, Andrew calmed down. The great battle at the Yeager estate would definitely shake all of Goldridge. And later, when Victoria stormed in solo, it definitely stirred the pot even more.
Plus, Riker, the unfortunate leader of Hidden Dragons, ended up barely clinging to life. All those events stacked together had to be big enough for Rowan to catch wind of what happened.
So, if word had gotten out that he had already made it out alive, she would have known to stand down. That reckless brat would surely know how to avoid danger
