He withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to wring the water off his old clothes. He said blandly, "I'm fine!"
I pursed my lips and took a deep breath. I felt like there was something stuck in my chest.
I took out my wallet from my bag. There was not much cash, but I took everything out. Then I put my phone number and the money in front of him and said, "Take it. My phone number is on it. If you want me to help you, you can call me at any time."

I prepared a few dishes, ate alone, and went straight back to the bedroom. I was going to read a book, but I was too sleepy and fell asleep after a while.
I woke up in a daze in the afternoon. When I went downstairs, I saw that the dishes on the table were gone. It seemed that someone had cleaned up.
I didn't feel very well. There was no one in the villa. I sat in the living room for a while and then went back to the bedroom. After sleeping all day, I couldn't sleep anymore.
