Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 62 Sniping

Nearly a minute later, Rayna’s breathing was still weak, and the vivid red strangulation 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 assailant to enter the room so boldly.

Gabriel also told him that the assailant had used the balcony to escape when he entered Rayna’s room. He had rushed over, only to catch a glimpse of the assailant’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 assailant 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 assailant’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 assailant really escapes, I won’t be able to face Mr. Faymon.

James could not be bothered to explain this to Cillian as he did not have that time. He used the lens of his rifle to observe the situation downstairs.
