Chapter 11
Javon’s gaze swept over Shayla, tears streaking her face, and then to Jaelynn, whose expression remained calm.
He looked down at her with a haughty air.
“Jaelynn, if you want to get out first, just tell me.”
Jaelynn ignored him and spoke to the firefighter, “Please rescue her first.”
“Jaelynn, is this really your choice?”
Javon’s face darkened instantly, a terrifying aura radiating from him.
“Shay, I’ll get you out now.”
Javon’s anger and embarrassment were clear.
Hearing that she was chosen, Shayla couldn’t hide her happiness.
The firefighters slowly pried open the elevator doors.
As Shayla was pulled to safety, she caught sight of Jaelynn behind her and deliberately kicked her.
Jaelynn lost her balance, her elbow striking the side of the elevator, sending sharp pain and numbness shooting through her
Meanwhile, Shayla’s reckless movement left a scrape on her calf.
Seeing the blood, she burst into tears.

“Miss, are you hurt?”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
Jaelynn steadied her ragged breath.
Javon’s gaze flicked toward her, initially intending to ask about her condition.
Shayla, leaning against him, whimpered pitifully, “Mr. Bradford, I feel so dizzy. Thank goodness you’re here, or I don’t know what would’ve happened.”
In contrast, Jaelynn’s gratitude went solely to the firefighters.
Javon frowned, displeased, and looked away, lowering his head.
“Shay, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Cradling Shayla protectively, Javon started toward the exit.
Hearing this, Jaelynn hurried to catch up.
“Mr. Bradford, wait a moment.”
Javon finally heard the words he’d been waiting for, and a brief, triumphant smile flickered across his lips.
“Are you hurt too? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
He waited, hoping she would seek his concern, maybe even lean on him.
Cradling Shayla in his arms, Javon scoffed, his confident gaze locked on Jaelynn.
His calm demeanor made it seem like having both women by his side was the most natural thing in the world.
