Chapter 31: ambiguous relationship
When Evan woke up, the whole person was very uncomfortable, his throat seemed to be on fire, his brain was heavy like lead, but more importantly, it was His back hurt like it was torn.
Evan struggled to open his eyes, but was stimulated by the dazzling sunlight in front of him and closed his eyes again. He wanted to drink water, but found that the only thing he could move now was his fingers.
Evan exhausted all his strength, but only let his fingers slide on the sheets a few times, and Evan's heart was suddenly full of despair.
But at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from his ear.
"Are you awake?" with surprise and ecstasy.
"Wei..." Evan only made a tone before he had no strength to continue. He turned to look at the embarrassed face in front of him, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease. It seemed that his The bet was a success.
Duke Wilson looked at Evan, almost ecstatic, he grabbed Evan's hand outside the quilt a little excitedly: "Don't talk, I'll go to Hester doctor."
He almost stumbled and ran out, not like the cold and arrogant Duke before.
Evan squinted his eyes and looked at his back. He knew something in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled into a complacent smile, but then he was hurt by a thirsty throat and a burning pain. His back grabbed his mind.
Evan opened his mouth, his whole heart curled up uncomfortably.
After a moment, Duke Wilson finally ran in with Dr. Hester and a few servants.
Dr. Hester should have just woken up, her hair still a little messy, and her glasses hanging crookedly on the bridge of her nose, looking a little ridiculous.
"Mr. Pastor, how do you feel now?" Dr. Hester immediately exerted the professionalism of a doctor, walked to Evan, and asked in a low voice.
Evan wanted to speak, but couldn't make a single tone. When Dr. Hester saw it, he immediately said very experienced: "Go and bring a glass of warm water over."
Butler Chris reacted immediately and went out to pour water, the Duke also walked to Evan, half-kneeled in front of his bed, looking at Evan's eyes, soft like lake water , No matter how much Evan regretted it at this time, seeing this scene, he felt it was worth it.
Butler Chris acted very quickly, warm water was brought up immediately, Dr. Hester originally wanted to serve Evan to drink water, but was snatched by Duke Wilson, he put the water glass on Evan On Wen's lips, he said softly, "Is this okay?"
Evan blinked his eyes, slowly squirmed his lips and took a few sips of water. The originally chapped lips and tongue were finally moistened with water, and Evan felt like his throat was on fire. Also more comfortable.
Dr. Hester looked at these two people and felt heavy in his heart. Pastor Bruce, such a gentle and kind person, would never have thought that such evil feelings exist in this world.
"Mr. Pastor." Dr. Hester finally interjected, "How do you feel?"
"It's okay." Because of drinking water, Evan was finally able to speak, but his voice was still hoarse and a little scary: "It's just that his back hurts."
Dr. Hester breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, the wound on your back will slowly heal. Please eat more light food and rest in bed these days."
Evan nodded with some difficulty, and finally leaned back on the mattress in the fog.
Duke Wilson pulled up the quilt for Evan, tucked the quilt again, and then turned to look at Dr. Hester, his eyes were no longer the gentle before, but with A touch of detached coldness.
"When will the priest's injury heal?" the Duke asked in a low voice.
Dr. Hester was also a little embarrassed.
"Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, Mr. Reverend's injury this time is very dangerous, and I don't know when it will heal. It depends on the usual training and recovery."
Dr. Hester felt a little ashamed. He was a doctor after all, and he couldn't answer the patient's question.
Duke Wilson also frowned in dissatisfaction, but thinking about Evan's presence, he didn't say anything, just nodded coldly and turned away.
Butler Chris watched his words and expressions, and understood the meaning of the Duke very well. He quickly stepped forward and tugged Dr. Hester's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Doctor, please come out first, I want to ask you for advice. Let's talk about Mr. Pastor's diet."
Dr. Hester's embarrassed heart was relieved immediately, and he quickly followed the housekeeper Chris out as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Still in a trance, the Duke's face was also very blurry in his eyes.
The Duke looked at Evan's pale profile, and wanted to reach out to touch it like last night, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly realized something and stopped his hands and feet suddenly. There was a flash of confusion.
"Lord Duke, what's the matter with you?" Of course Evan saw Duke Wilson's intentions. He originally wanted to pretend that it never happened, but with such a large range of motion, he is not blind, Evan As soon as Wen thought about it, he wanted to tease him.
Duke Wilson's brain seemed to be hit by something, and his mind was instantly filled with the panic of Evan knowing his intentions. Go, he just looked a little stiff, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Evan did not urge, but looked at the duke with a very gentle and non-aggressive look, with a slight doubt at the corner of his mouth.
"I...I'm fine." Duke Wilson took a long time to find his voice, but his tone was a little dry.
Seeing Duke Wilson's fragile appearance, Evan did not pursue it any further. This man is still too thin-skinned.
So he just smiled and said, "That's good, thank you for your care."
Speaking of this, Duke Wilson's heart became more and more complicated. He frowned and looked at Evan with a very complicated look in his eyes.
"No, I should have said this, you saved me." The Duke's tone was a little solemn: "Pastor Bruce, you saved my life, and I have nothing to do with your noble behavior. Gratitude cannot be described in words, if you need me in the future, just tell me, I will define it."
Duke Wilson's words were very official, but the tenderness in his eyes could not deceive anyone, and Evan's heart became more and more happy.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious, I just did what I think is right." Evan's language is simple and peaceful, without a trace of flashy, but it is such plain language that makes the Duke's There was a storm in my heart.
What a noble personality he is, in such a crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is to save others.
"Mr. Reverend." Duke Wilson's tone was a little sluggish: "You, you make me feel very ashamed." He unconsciously leaned his body in Evan's direction.
This is a subconscious action, but it is of great significance in Evan's heart, and Duke Wilson finally opened his heart to him.
Evan laughed silently, the seeds of evil took root in his heart, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal.
But the smile on Evan's surface is like a saint, with a halo of compassion: "Sir, please don't say such things again, now we are all fine, this is the most Happy ending."
Duke Wilson looked at Evan and was speechless for a while. It was naturally good for both of them to be fine, but at that time he almost thought Evan was going to die, so desperate and painful, It still shrouded his heart, making his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
smell.
Duke Wilson looked at Evan tenderly, while Evan looked sideways at the void, the sun shone in through the curtains, casting a shadow on half of his face, he was like Sitting in a place where light and darkness are intertwined, there is a mysterious beauty.
After a long time, the atmosphere between the two was broken by the noise outside the door. Evan could tell that it was the duke's guests, and the duke could also hear it, but the duke's face was not so good-looking. .
He walked over and opened the door with a cold face, looking at the men and women in bright clothes outside the door, his tone was very grumpy: "Don't some gentlemen and ladies know the most basic etiquette as a guest ?"
The duke's voice was not high, but the icy smell in it made everyone present shut their mouths.
In the end, the Count Martin was more courageous, smiled and said cautiously: "Sir, are you all right? We are also worried about whether you are injured?"
The Duke looked at Martin, his eyes sank again, but in the end he didn't get angry, just pursed his lips and said: "I'm fine, the injured person is someone else, this hunting ends here. , someone will take you back tomorrow."
The Duke's words were very rude, but these people also understand that it is strange to be in a good mood after experiencing such a thing, but looking at the Duke's unscathed appearance, the expressions of everyone present different.
The duke was impatient to deal with these scheming people, so he just waved his hand, and Steward Chris, who was in a dilemma at the side, immediately came up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your room first, breakfast is ready."
Butler Chris's invitation was undoubtedly a good step, and the people present immediately followed this step and hurried down. The Duke's rudeness made these people's faces look bad.
When the people receded like the tide, the duke returned to Evan's room, he closed the door and turned around, only to find that Evan was looking straight at him, Duke Wilson His heart skipped a few beats.
"What's wrong with you?" Duke Wilson asked uncertainly.
Evan seemed to have come back to his senses suddenly, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said warmly: "I didn't expect that you still have this side."
"This side?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some playfulness: "What do you mean by this side?"
Evan looked at Duke Wilson blinking, with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "I always thought you were a gentle and elegant person, but I didn't expect that when you raised your face, Pretty scary."
Hearing this sentence, Duke Wilson's smile instantly stiffened.
