Isaac became silent.
He was perfectly fine before he fell.
How could his vision turn bad from that?
He would have not argued if he hurt his legs, since he did feel the agony from his right leg before he blacked out!
"Let me get you some water," the woman said, and she brought him a glass of water.
Isaac did not drink it. Instead, he asked, "Where am I?"
"Dunesia," the woman replied.
"Where specifically?" Isaac pressed.
The woman answered, but Isaac had never heard of it—like most foreigners, he only knew the more famous locations and not remote areas.
"Can I make a phone call?" Isaac asked.
"What is that?" the woman asked in return, leaving Isaac speechless.
Was he really in Dunesia? Why would she not know what a phone call was?
It seemed a little unlikely, so who were these people?
Isaac remained impassive and said nothing after that, so the woman said, "Please get some rest! My husband and I still have to harvest the grapes from the vineyard."
And with that, she left—Isaac watched as the blur before him disappeared.
He closed his eyes, attempting to let them rest.
But he still was not seeing clearly when he opened them.
In fact, his vision was now blurry and darker, and he could not make out the outline of the objects around him.
He was really going blind!
His leg was still hurt too…
Even so, he was sharp enough to realize that the woman just now was not normal.
They must be pretty near the vineyard she mentioned, however, since he could smell the scent of fresh grapes.
If his hunch was right, they were in a distillery for red wine.
It was impossible for there to be no phones around.
So why was she lying, and who were these people?
Feeling on edge, he did not lie down again. Instead, he quietly listened to everything around him.
