Chapter 310 Changing the Dog’s Name
Leaving the bathroom, she accepted the towel he offered and used it to dry her hair.
George tidied the basin and sink before joining her, asking about her condition.
Isabelle remarked, “I observed many things upon awakening today.”

With her eyes recovered, she didn’t need George’s help with the needle. Nevertheless, George either momentarily overlooked this fact or was oblivious, and still offered it to her.
Isabelle, whether neglecting the fact that her eyes recovered or simply being indifferent, also took it from
him.
Jack the dog approached Isabelle with a ball, noticing her busy state, and wisely decided to play nearby. patiently awaiting her attention.
After Isabelle finished collecting the needles, she clapped her hands and called out, “Cuatro, come over here.
The dog heard her summon and glanced her way, but stayed put.
George, aiding her in arranging the silver needle, asked puzzledly, “Cuatro?”
Isabelle smiled at him and said, “I renamed him this morning.”
George was at a loss for words. “You really know how to handle Jack’s feelings. Loyalty is important to you, and you can’t tolerate disloyalty from those under you.”
Isabelle said, “I really do like the name Jack, but lately, when I call for Jack, both the human and the dog respond at the same time.”
Whenever this happened, Jack the human would sulk and retreat to his room, staying there for a while.
Therefore, a name change became necessary.
Isabelle offered, “If you don’t like the new name, I can change it again.”
George responded earnestly, “No objections at all. I’m just glad to be included. But it doesn’t have the surname Harris, right?”
He worried that Kevin might develop high blood pressure.
Isabelle suggested, “Let’s use the surname Jenkins.”
George said, “Cuatro Jenkins?”
He was quite pleased with this new name combination.
The only downside was that he hadn’t been the one to gift the dog.
The next day.
With her vision greatly improved, Isabelle took Cuatro for a walk.

Chapter 310 Changing the Dog’s Name
Jack, still recovering from his injuries, quietly followed behind her.
Finished
Following the name change. Jack’s attitude towards the dog noticeably improved. He no longer looked at the dog with disdain, as if it were a nuisance.
The area where Isabelle lived was near Taragon University, so they, along with the dog, decided to walk in that direction.
It was evening.
Students were busily moving in and out of the various gates of Taragon University.
When Isabelle called out “Cuatro,” Jack casually asked, “Did George have any issues with you naming the dog that?”
Isabelle replied, “George is mature and composed. He wouldn’t be troubled by something so minor.”
Jack responded, “So, are you saying that I’m childish and petty?”
Isabelle replied with a smile, “Jack, you’re even using the term ‘petty‘ now, where did you pick that up?”
Jack grunted in response.
At that instant, a silhouette traversed the crosswalk in the distance.
Tall and slender, with a pale complexion, toting a black backpack, and wearing a hairstyle reminiscent of Ethan, radiating a youthful aura as they transitioned from high school to university.
The figure moved silently, head slightly lowered, towards the opposite end.
Isabelle’s vision remained slightly blurred, making the person’s face seem fuzzy and unclear.
Jack followed her line of sight. “What’s wrong?
Isabelle observed the figure departing. “It’s nothing.”
The next day, Isabelle showed up at the school.
After being away for several days, upon her return, Isabelle found her classmates eagerly greeting her, and the discussions were more animated.
Isabelle took her place in the seat closest to the window.
As her classmates gathered before the class started, a boy quietly entered through the back door and quickly took the last seat.
In the class, the teacher spotted Isabelle’s return and promptly collected the assignment she had completed during her absence. Using her several PowerPoint presentations as guides, the teacher warmly invited Isabelle to come forward and share her work with the class.
Throughout the previous semester, Isabelle, known as the top student in the major, had been repeatedly asked by the teacher to speak up during class, but it never came to fruition.
Upon learning about Isabelle’s connection with George, the teacher refrained from disturbing her.
