Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Joycelyn finished packing her things and headed to the underground parking garage to drive her car just as she unlocked it, a small dog’s bark suddenly came from beneath the car. She crouched down to see what was going on

Under the car, a tiny, soaking wet, and dirty little white stray dog was huddled. When it saw Joycelyn, it barked nervously “Woof Woo!”

“Shh, it’s okay, I won’t hurt you,” Joycelyn said softly, trying to calm the little dog.

The puppy shrank back under the car, shivering all over. Its large, round eyes were fixed warily on Joycelyn. The two of them just stared at each other for a few seconds.

The dog stopped barking, curling into a ball, still trembling. Seeing it so scared made Joycelyn feel sorry for it.

“Wait here. I’ll get you something to eat,” Joycelyn said, not sure if the dog could understand her.

She quickly put on a mask and went back to the cafeteria to buy some corns. When she returned, the puppy was still hiding under her car.

She pushed the corns toward the little dog. “Here you go. Once you’re full, you’ll feel warmer and won’t be so scared.”

The puppy must have been starving. It slowly crawled out, sniffed the food, and then began eating eagerly. In no time, it finished the coms.

Once it had eaten, the little dog seemed a little braver. It wagged its tail and walked over to Joycelyn, seeking affection. Her heart melted, and she crouched down to gently pet it.

The puppy was well–behaved, its tail wagging nonstop. It was clear it was innocent and trusting–just one meal had won it

over.

“Did you hurt your paw?” Joycelyn asked, noticing the dog’s limp..

The puppy didn’t seem to feel any pain; it just kept wagging its tail and smiling at her.

Joycelyn had been in a bad mood earlier, but now she felt instantly cheered up. “If you want, I can take care of you. I’ll bring you home, okay?”

The puppy looked up at her, wagging its tail even more enthusiastically. It made a soft, whiny sound, almost like an answer. “Alright, I’ll take that as a yes,” Joycelyn said, scooping the little wet dog into her arms and using her jacket to cushion the

seat.
