Chapter 26

• Cole did not speak to me so that I could rest, but he did bring me food for lunch and dinner. He was correct, and I regained my strength since I felt better the next day. It was cozy, and by the time I ate that night, I was feeling a little better.
• I heard birds crowing, and I think I awoke early since I slept early the night before. I stood up and glanced at the cabinet that had been prepared for me. Cole didn’t sleep here, so I suppose they assigned us to a separate cabin. I brought my baggage and a backpack. I took the suitcase first to place my clothes in the cabinet so that I wouldn’t have to struggle every time I took a shower and dressed. Next, I took up the phone and tried to open it, but it was dead. I also assumed that I wouldn’t be able to use it here because there was no signal in the hidden provinces. It is tough to find a signal, just like in Guangdong. When I was about to get up to go out and ask where I could find the toilet, I heard the call.
• “Luna?” The simultaneous call to me is concurrent knocking. Fortunately, even though the door was constructed of delicate wood, they nonetheless locked it. I recognized the voice right away and opened the door.
