Dear Sweetheart Chapter 295
Chapter 295 Telepathic Connection
“Why are you always like this?” Jessica rolled her eyes at him before entering the dressing room.
Wyatt seemed motivated by that, and he gleefully bragged about it to Curtis and Theodore in the group
chat. However, Curtis was working, so he did not see the message, and Theodore ignored it.
Despite that, Wyatt continued with his spamming.
All of a sudden, an rm bell rang in Wyatt’s mind, and he sensed someone watching him.
Immediately, he leaped off the couch and warily scanned his surroundings, but he saw nothing out of
the usual.
I’m sure that wasn’t a hallucination. Someone must be tailing me in the shadows.
While he was mulling over the matter, Jessica had already made a few purchases. Shortly after, she
came over with several shopping bags in her hand.
“What’s the matter?” she asked him.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I wanted to move a little after the long sit,” Wyatt said with a smile, not wanting them
to worry. “Are you done? The sun is already setting, so why don’t we go back?”
Rayna and the others nodded.
Indeed, it was tiring after shopping for the entire afternoon.
With his two hands full of shopping bags, Wyatt ambled behind the three women with a rxed
expression on his face. However, he was actually studying the movement of the people around them.
The few of them walked past the jewelry counter.
The sales assistant at the jewelry counter was arranging stuff at that moment. It was then she noticed a
puffy paper bag by the side of the cab.
“Did someone forget something?” the sales assistant muttered, thinking of opening it to look inside so
that she would know which of her coworkers to give the bag to.
When she opened the paper bag, she did not notice the thin string on it. The moment the bag opened,
the cap that the string was connected to open as well.
In the next second, the sales assistant heard a soft psh sound, and white smoke rushed out of the
paper bag.
The one she was holding was not the only one doing that; the other paper bags by the other counters
had smokeing out as well. In no time, the entire jewelry section was enveloped by smoke and
screams.
Then, the lights in the jewelry section went out. Even the lights inside the cab turned dim.
Everyone’s vision was blocked by the white smoke.
“Don’t move! Get on the floor!”
A few men’s voices and footsteps echoed in the air while everyone was panicking. They were speaking
Anndurn, but their voices were muffled by masks.
Wyatt could even hear the sounds of guns loading.
When the smoke wasing out from under the counters, Wyatt had already figured out that
something had gone wrong. Without missing a beat, he pulled the three women to hide behind the
nearest counter.
“Don’t move, or we won’t show you any mercy!”
Upon hearing the man’s hoarse warning, Rayna turned to Wyatt and whispered, “They’re here for the
jewelry?”
“Mhm. From the way there was smoke and a power outage, I’d say this was premeditated,” Wyatt
replied as he swiftly messaged Theodore and the local cops.
However, Wyatt was confused.
The security at the mall was tight, and the surveince cameras covered every single spot in the area.
Furthermore, the jewelry section was on the fifth floor. If anything were to happen here, the people
outside would notice it. Even if the robbers could leave the jewelry section, they would not be able to
leave the mall.
As a matter of fact, they might end up leaving the ce dead. To risk their lives for a robbery seemed
foolish.
Wyatt and the others could vaguely hear women crying outside, as well as a man ordering the sales
assistant to open up the jewelry cabs in lousy Anndurn. The sounds of footsteps never stopped.
Soon, the footsteps came over to their side.
The sales assistant at the counter they were at had gone elsewhere to hide. Since the robbers were
going to open the cabs for the jewelry, they would certainly walk behind the counter and spot them.
“I’ll deal with him and find a way to restrain him. Don’t make a sound,” Wyatt quietly told them.
When he stood up, Jessica stopped him and stammered, “B-Be careful.”
Wyatt caressed her cheek in reassurance.
By the time Wyatt stood up, the robber had alreadye to their side.
The two of them were very close. With the help of the counter lights, Wyatt could see that the man was
wearing night vision goggles with a mask covering his nose and mouth. At the same time, he noted the
gun in the robber’s left hand.
With just one nce, Wyatt recognized the gun model.
It was a SKI-26 revolver with heavy recoil and high firing uracy. However, the fire rate was slow with
a few seconds of dy between each shot.
Wyatt nearlyughed.
Only a “genius” would rob a ce with a gun like that.
When the robber realized that it was a man behind the counter, he quickly trained his gun on Wyatt and
red at him. “Why is it a man?”
Wyatt instantly lifted his hands and pretended to be frightened out of his mind. “S-Sir, don’t kill me! My
girlfriend went to the washroom, and she asked me to look after the counter for a while.”
Wyatt’s act seemed wless—he looked weak and defenseless—so the robber only stared at him for a
few seconds longer before throwing a bag onto the surface of the counter.
“Pack the jewelry!”
“O-Of course! I’ll fill it up right away!” Wyatt then opened the cab to pour the pieces of jewelry into
the bag.
Hearing that, the robber rxed.
Rayna and the others were hiding under the counter to the right of the robber. Wyatt’s coat was draped
on their heads, and if the robber were to lower his head to look under the counter, he would notice the
lumpy coat.
However, it was clear that the robber did not care about anything else other than the jewelry and Wyatt.
As Wyatt packed the pieces of jewelry into the bag, he kept an eye on the robber discreetly. It was then
he noticed that the robber was wearing a headset. Realizing that there had to be someone else giving
out orders on the other end of the line, Wyatt became frustrated.
D*mn it! I should have turned on the signal jammer on my phone.
Right then, the robber frowned. It seemed like there was something wrong with the headset, for he
muttered a few confused words in Jetroinian to the person on the other end of the line as he adjusted
the headset with his free hand. He was a little distracted.
Right as he was not paying attention to Wyatt, Wyatt grabbed his left hand and twisted it hard. Just as
the robber was about to scream in pain, Wyatt pinched a spot on the robber’s neck.
In less than three seconds, the robber was motionless.
Wyatt sneakily pulled the man behind the counter and switched off his headset before pulling off the
night vision goggles.
Right then, Jessica popped her head out of the coat and glimpsed at the robber on the ground. “Is he
dead?”
“It’s self-defense. I’d be dead if he doesn’t die,” Wyatt told her. “I was just regretting not turning on the
signal jammer. Still, something seemed to have gone wrong with his headset, so luck’s on my side.”
“I was the one who turned it on,” Jessica said as she shook his phone merrily. “I used to watch police
procedural shows, and I always see robbers using headsets during robberies so that one of them can
direct the rest through the escape routes. I guess that they might be doing the same, and since you
had a signal jamming software on your phone, I switched it on.”
Wyatt lunged over to kiss her. “You’re the best, Babe! We must have a telepathic connection!”
At that, Rayna gloomily muttered, “Stop with your PDA at a time like this.”
It seemed like the other robbers were affected by the signal jammer as well, for Rayna and the others
could hear them walking around even more, seemingly looking for the jammer.
“The cops won’t being in a while. I’m going to buy them some time.” Wyatt put on the night vision
goggles and headset before signaling Jessica and the rest to stay hidden behind the counter. “Switch
off my phone when I head out.”
Jessica asked, “Why are you wearing the headset? Do you understand Jetroinian?”
“I can try. I’m sure one of them will speak Anndurn.”
Jessica pursed her lips, speechless.
After Wyatt put on his gear, he sneaked out of the counter. Meanwhile, Jessica switched off his phone,
so the signal was back. After a few buzzing noises, someone began speaking on the line.
It was Jetroinian, and he had no idea what they were saying at all.
