Dear Sweetheart 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 alarm 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.
“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 relaxed 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 cabinet.
“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 smoke coming 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 cabinet 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 Anglandurn, but their voices were muffled by masks.
Wyatt could even hear the sounds of guns loading.
When the smoke was coming 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 surveillance 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 place 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 cabinets in lousy Anglandurn. 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 cabinets 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 already come 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 glance, Wyatt recognized the gun model.
It was a SKI-26 revolver with heavy recoil and high firing accuracy. However, the fire rate was slow with a few seconds of delay between each shot.
Wyatt nearly laughed.
Only a “genius” would rob a place 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 glared 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 flawless—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 cabinet to pour the pieces of jewelry into the bag.
