Dear Sweetheart Chapter 62


    Chapter 62 Sniping


    Nearly a minuteter, Rayna’s breathing was still weak, and the vivid red strangtion mark on her


    neck was a ghastly sight. Curtis’ expression grew grimmer, and he could no longer maintain his


    composure.


    Gabriel happened to still be in the room when Rayna called. He answered the call and murmured about


    how Rayna was silent.


    Curtis felt something was wrong and took the phone from Gabriel. He heard something fall and


    instantly realized something was amiss. Immediately, he rushed to kick open Rayna’s door.


    “Rayna, wake up!” Curtis patted her pale and cold cheek, which made his fingers tremble.


    He did not want something bad to happen to her just because she was helping him with work.


    Curtis patted Rayna’s cheek continuously. Just then, Rayna violently coughed once. Although she did


    not open her eyes, her breathing gradually returned to normal.


    Curtis finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Meanwhile, James learned from Gabriel’s call about the assassination of Rayna. He was greatly


    surprised because he did not expect the assant to enter the room so boldly.


    Gabriel also told him that the assant had used the balcony to escape when he entered Rayna’s


    room. He had rushed over, only to catch a glimpse of the assant’s clothes and height, which was


    taller than average.


    James ordered two people to guard the front and back entrances of the hotel. Another person was to


    check the emergency stairs while he and Cillian carried the equipment to the rooftop. They quickly


    assembled the pieces and equipped their rifles with silencers.


    “How about we wait for a while first?” Cillian scratched the back of his head. “The street is packed.


    What if we shoot someone else if the assant blends into the crowd?”


    “That’s not possible.” James’ tone was firm, and he bent down after finding a suitable spot. “I won’t be


    able to face anyone if he escapes.”


    Confused, Cillian questioned, “What do the assant’s life and death have to do with you not being able


    to face anyone?”


    It has a lot to do with me! This is the job that pays me the highest since graduation. I also assured Mr.


    Faymon that I wouldn’t let this guy slip past me. If the assant really escapes, I won’t be able to face


    Mr. Faymon.


    James could not be bothered to exin this to Cillian as he did not have that time. He used the lens of


    his rifle to observe the situation downstairs.


    Cillian leaned nearer to James. He was still rambling about how the assant would not be able to


    escape. Yet, in the next instant, a figure walked out from the corner of the hotel.


    He was a tall man that matched Gabriel’s description in terms of both appearance and attire.


    “He must have used the pipes since he didn’t go through the front and back doors,” Cillian stated. His


    expression grew more serious when he saw the assant blending into the crowd.


    James saw that as well through the lens of his rifle.


    The man seemed prepared for a sniper ambush, as he used a woman holding a child to obstruct their


    line of sight. There was a cold smirk on his face, and he was confident he would get out of this situation


    alive.


    James chuckled coldly as well, which made Cillian’s hair stand on end.


    “Let’s not—” Before Cillian could finish his words, he saw James’ shoulders shake due to the strong


    recoil of his rifle.


    In just two seconds, the tall man copsed to the ground. The people beside him were startled as blood


    began staining his clothes.


    “Did you get him?” Cillian’s gaze fell on James, and his jaw dropped. “We both can snipe ande


    from the same school. Why do I feel that the difference between us is so huge?”


    I would never dare to snipe when there are so many people near my target for fear of hitting someone


    else. However, he managed to eliminate someone with a single shot without fear.


    “You’re just terrible,” James responded. He swiftly disassembled the weapon and ced the pieces in


    his leather case.


    Cillian was rendered speechless.


    When they were heading downstairs, James’ phone rang.


    I shouldn’t have turned on my data roaming. James was annoyed when he saw the caller ID. The calls


    came in persistently after he rejected them twice, prompting him to answer the call in irritation.


    “How dare you hang up on me, Gray Wolf?” Kristie screamed. “You even hang up on me twice! You


    ought to know your ce. I’m your master!”


    James answered icily, “Ms. Winton, my employer is Mr. Tylinski. I’ve been given the task of protecting


    you. Besides, I’ve told you that I will be following Mr. Faymon’s orders in theseing days.”


    “How long are you going to take? I’m dying of hunger!” Kristieined. “Why do you have to go


    when Curt has so many people? You’re clearly my bodyguard.”


    “I don’t know.”


    “Well, ask them. I’ll die of hunger if you don’te back.”


    “You can order takeaway.” James’ response was sinct. Since he was not her personal chef, he felt


    irritated about having to cook meals for her. “Ms. Winton, you can die of hunger if you refuse to eat.”


    Kristie shrieked, “What? You b*stard! How dare you ask me to starve to death? I’m going toin to


    Curt and ask for you to be reced!”


    “Why, thank you, then, Ms. Winton.” With that, he hung up.


    Cillian piped up, “Is she that little princess from Mr. Faymon’spany?”


    “Yeah.”


    “Wow! You’re truly a man. We don’t even dare to upset her for fear of being assigned to be her


    bodyguard. You’re brave to talk to her like that!” Cillian patted James’ back.

    “What’s there to fear when she’s not the one paying my sry? Her princess syndrome causes her to


    believe that everyone must obey her instructions. She must be insane.”


    Having spent a long time with Kristie, James felt that he could tolerate Roxanne.


    It doesn’t matter if sheins about me to Mr. Faymon. I can make at least seven figures on my trip


    this time, and I will no longer need to be her bodyguard.


    They went down from the rooftop to Curtis’ ce. At that moment, Curtis and Gabriel were standing in


    the living room. A doctor and nurse closed the door behind them, having just exited the bedroom.


    “Mr. Faymon, the condition of the youngdy has stabilized. She’s fine now. However, she seems to be


    in shock and needs to take medication and good rest for a few days.”


    Curtis nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”


    “You’re wee.”


    Soon after the doctor and nurse left the room, James and Cillian entered.


    “Mr. Faymon, it was a mistake on my part for the assant to injure her. I will ept any punishment.”


    James stood straight, exuding quite the presence despite his young age.


    “I don’t me you. I didn’t anticipate it either. Where’s the assant?” Curtis asked.


    “I shot him down.”


    Curtis looked better when he learned that James had killed the assant.


    It’s better for that man to die than to escape.


    “Mr. Faymon, Gray Wolf is really amazing. I graduated earlier than him, but I’m not as skilled as him.


    He dared to fire his rifle when there was a crowd and even hit the bullseye.”


    “I selected him from a bunch of people, so of course he’spetent. Gray Wolf was ranked in the top


    five in the entire school. Did you ck through your school days?” Gabriel mocked as he pushed up his


    sses.


    Cillian was purple with rage. “Gabriel, you’ve gone too far. Even though I’m not as talented as Gray


    Wolf, I put a lot of effort into getting admitted to the school. I was ranked in the hundreds.”


    “What’s there to be proud of when your ranking is in the hundreds?” The look on Gabriel’s face was


    one of disdain.


    Cillian was at a loss for words.
