Upon arrival at the mansion, Isabelle opened the door. The dog, Jack, confidently entered, acting as though it were the owner, eagerly surveying the various rooms and the kitchen. Isabelle couldn't shake the thought that perhaps this dog possessed some traits of a husky dog.
As Jack completed its tour of the first floor of the mansion, it was clear that its initial enthusiasm had diminished.
Isabelle asked, "Why? You don't like it?"
"Woof!"
Dylan silently reflected. This mansion doesn't hold a candle to its doghouse. No wonder it's not exciting, Poor "Mr. Jack
"It may not be as extravagant as your owner's residence, but it'll suffice for the time being."
"Woof.
Suddenly, George interjected, "Could I possibly stay here for a few nights?*
Isabelle responded swiftly, I can handle things by myself."
She quickly refused, taking into account George's hectic agenda and not wanting to interfere with his
work.
Following a moment of silence, George conceded, "Alright."
Once Isabelle had received her acupuncture and medication, George readied himself to return to the Harris residence.
He held out the box of bitter candies he bought in Cluebia for Isabelle. As he was leaving, Isabelle reached out to take the candies from his hand./
However, George tucked them into his own pocket, telling her, 'I'll come over tomorrow night, just leave. them with me for now."

Upon retrieving Ethan, George disclosed Isabelle's eye condition, momentarily unsettling him.
However, he quickly reassured Ethan that her eyes would heal within a few days.
Feeling as though he were riding an emotional roller coaster, Ethan grappled with mixed feelings.
After ensuring Isabelle was alright, Ethan shifted his focus to Jack.

Ethan had deliberately taken time off to visit Jack, intending to see his injury and convey his gratitude in person. However, encountering Jack's aloof and distant demeanour, Ethan, who was introverted, found. himself speechless and unsure of how to proceed.
He opted to engage in conversation with Isabelle and play with the dog, all the while stealing glances at Jack, eagerly anticipating a chance to converse.
As Isabelle beckoned Jack over to the dog. Ethan turned his head to find Jack seated on the sofa.
Ethan still didn't know that the dog's name was also Jack.
Then he noticed Jack looking extremely miserable.
Ethan thought it was because of the injuries on him.
Jack stood up and made his way to the kitchen. After a moment of uncertainty, Ethan gathered his and trailed after him.

Meanwhile, Isabelle requested George to open a can of food for the dog.
This dog held immense importance to Liam. The plane that brought them home not only transported them but also bore a stock of high-priced dog food and specially custom-made canned meals. Jack the dog arrived at Isabelle's house with a hefty inheritance.
"Woof!" But Jack didn't seem to acknowledge his sentiment.
George could detect the dog's animosity towards him.
The dog viewed Liam as its master, Isabelle as its mistress, and George as its master's competitor.
Meanwhile, Jack the human walked to the kitchen, fetched a soda from the fridge, and took a few sips, consuming half of it.
As he turned around, he noticed Ethan lingering by the kitchen door, appearing as though he had something to express.
Jack asked, "What's weighing on your thoughts?"
Jack took the lead in initiating the conversation, prompting Ethan to swiftly seize the opportunity. "How's your hand?" he inquired, glancing at Jack's injured arm.

"You're welcome," he couldn't muster the courage to say
them.
Observing Jack's reluctance, Ethan felt a twinge of embarrassment. "May I see your hand?"

Equally uncomfortable, Jack simply rolled up his sleeve, unveiling the bandaged arm, with the scars still evident on his wrist.
The marks on Jack's fair complexion were highly noticeable.
Ethan lapsed into silence as he observed them.
Despite feeling uneasy, Jack was more forthcoming than Ethan. He opened the refrigerator, took out another bottle of cola, and offered it to him, easing the tension in the room. Ethan promptly took the cola from his outstretched hand.
As Jack passed by, Ethan cautiously inquired from behind, "Is it safe for you to drink carbonated beverages with your injury?"
Jack responded, "Your sister didn't mention any restrictions."
He took advantage of Isabelle's inability to see, oblivious to the circumstances.
Yet, Isabelle possessed a keen sense of smell and detected the scent of cola. "Jack, don't indulge too much. See how well-behaved the dog is."
Ethan felt a tad puzzled by her remark, but he clarified, "Isabelle, it's me who's having the drink."
With a huff, Jack rose from his seat and retreated to his room.
Awkwardly settling in, Ethan caught George's gaze and experienced a pang of guilt for lying.
