Chapter 40: confront each other
"Although you say so, but recently, you still have to rest in the manor, you can't just leave like this, or my heart will be uneasy." Duke Wilson lowered his head. Brows and eyes, covering up the unnatural expression on his face, said warmly.
Evan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You are really a warm-hearted person, in that case, then I will disturb you for a while."
Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at Evan tentatively, seeing that he had no reluctance, and then said: "You are serious, compared to your help to me, My point is nothing."
Evan smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Evan stopped talking, Duke Wilson said: "I came here today to instruct Dr. Hester on a few things. He looked straight at Dr. Hester, There was a hint of coldness on his face."
The back of Dr. Hester's head froze, and he looked at Duke Wilson in confusion.
"You... please order." Dr. Hester's voice was a little uneasy.
Duke Wilson suddenly smiled, but the coldness in his eyes did not subside at all.
"Pastor Bruce's injury, you didn't tell anyone, did you?"
At that time, the only one who knew about Evan's injury was Dr. Hester, except for the servants of Duke Wilson's house. Before, Duke Wilson believed in Dr. Hester's medical ethics on the one hand, and on the other hand. Because in the past few days, in order to track down the assassins, he did not spare his hands. Now that Duke Wilson has finally dealt with foreign affairs, he also remembered the matter of Dr. Hester.
Dr. Hester's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Don't worry, even Arya doesn't know about this matter, I won't reveal it to anyone, you can completely trust me ."
Dr. Hester is not stupid yet, this matter is obviously a fight between the big guys above, and the little guys like him naturally dare not get involved.
Duke Wilson just sneered when he heard it: "If I didn't trust you, do you think I would say these things to you?"
Dr. Hester's legs were weak, and he looked at Duke Wilson tremblingly, not daring to say a word.
Looking at him like this, Duke Wilson flashed a trace of disdain in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You better remember what you said today, if there is any wind in this matter, You should also know the consequences."
Dr. Hester couldn't help shaking, and nodded lightly: "You...you can rest assured."
Duke Wilson nodded in satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye he saw Evan sitting on the bed with a confused expression. Duke Wilson couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that he actually let him see this side of himself.
"Pastor Bruce." Duke Wilson tried his best to control his emotions to normal, and whispered: "This matter is very important, do you mind?" He looked at Evan tentatively .
Evan's originally empty expression paused slightly, then turned to look at Duke Wilson.
"Of course I don't mind, and I totally agree with your consideration."
Evan had a smile on his lips. What Duke Wilson said was indeed very important. The current affairs are obviously not in the hands of the common people. Let them figure it out on their own.
Duke Wilson heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's fine if you agree."
Dr. Hester stood on the side and watched the interaction between the two people. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He was cold and ruthless to himself. He asked so softly in front of Pastor Bruce.
Duke Wilson didn't have time to observe Dr. Hester's thoughts. He looked at Evan, who looked a little tired, and immediately said very thoughtfully: "Your health is not good yet. Just please rest first, I'll leave first."
Evan was already a little tired, so naturally he would not refuse at this time.
Duke Wilson and Dr. Hester left Evan's room, and Evan also lay down on the bed. He looked at the snow-white ceiling and began to think carefully about his plan.
Relationship, the possibility of his exposure is high, and Evan can't take this risk.
And Arya, although the Duke has a very bad sense of her now, but due to the understanding of the original book, Evan is still not sure in his heart, Arya's threat is still looming In Evan's mind.
These two people are troublesome for Evan, Evan feels that he must solve these two problems quickly now.
After a few days, Mr. Johnson's matter still has no results, the whole town is in a rumor, Rael is detained, Mrs. Johnson goes back to the town police station every day to inquire, Chandler Sergeant Le's pressure surged.
Evan lived a very comfortable life. Within the confines of Cornwall Manor, he didn't need to worry about anything, he just needed to recuperate, and contact Edward from time to time to read him a book Reading the Bible and listening to him talk about his thoughts, Edward became more dependent on him.
As for Duke Wilson, I don’t know what I’m doing these days. I used to come to have afternoon tea with him every afternoon, and now I haven’t seen him again except for breakfast. he is.
On this day, Evan was reading the Bible for Edward in the garden. Edward was always an obedient child in front of Evan. He lay quietly on Evan's lap without blinking. Blinking at Evan.
Evan's voice was soft and quiet, with a soothing power, Edward looked at Evan with reverence, his eyes sparkling with crystal light.
Evan looked down at Edward, smiled and patted the top of his hair, said warmly, "Do you understand?"
Edward nodded: "Understood, the tutor taught me before."
Listening to him talking about this, Evan's hand paused and said involuntarily, "Tutor?"
Miss Daisy is very pretty, and you're sure to like her."
Evan listened to Edward's childish words, but he couldn't help but move in his heart, he almost forgot, in this book, in addition to his card deal, there is also Daisy The female supporting role who kept playing dead became a stepping stone for the heroine Alia.
"When will Miss Daisy be back?" Evan asked tentatively.
Edward frowned and snapped his fingers.
"Miss Daisy's father passed away. It will take a month to come back, there should be five more days."
Seeing that Edward remembered it so clearly, and Evan also understood, it seems that this Miss Daisy's status in Edward is not low.
"So it is."
Evan touched Edward's hair soothingly, Daisy is not a threat in the book, Duke Wilson doesn't like her at all, and she likes to die. You don't have to make a move ahead of time.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report.
"Pastor Bruce, a gentleman wants to see you."
Evan frowned, who will come to him at this time?
"A gentleman? Who is it?"
The servant thought for a moment and finally said, "It's the gentleman who came with Mrs. Sanders last time."
Evan's eyebrows could not help wrinkling, it turned out to be Ferde! What does he come to do?
"Did he say what he came for?" Evan asked.
The valet nodded slightly: "He said he came to you for the church, and it was very urgent."
The words have already been said for this sake, and Evan can't really refuse, so he can only say: "Then let him come in."
The servant was a little reluctant, but thinking of the duke's order, he could only answer in a low voice.
After a while, Ferd came in under the leadership of the footman, and Evan patted Edward in his arms: "Lord, you go up first, I will come to find you later."
Edward was in high spirits at first, but now he is tired in an instant, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Evan, so he could only jump from Evan's knee a little dejected Down, one step three turned back and left.
As soon as Edward left, Ferd walked up to him. He looked at Evan and smiled very gently.
"Pastor Bruce." He nodded slightly at Evan.
Evan was not very good at standing up due to physical reasons, so he just smiled and said, "Mr. Ferd, I'm sorry I can't stand up to greet you, please take a seat."
Folder sat beside Evan very casually, stroked his cuffs, and whispered: "You don't have to be so polite, we are all old friends."
His words were low and casual, but Evan could hear a bit of sarcasm.
Evan smiled fakely: "What's the matter with you this time?"
Folder raised his eyebrows, and his slightly dull face suddenly showed a bit of playfulness.
"You should have heard about Mr. Johnson these days, right? The matter has not been resolved, but the church's affairs cannot be delayed forever. I suggest you go with me to find Mrs. Johnson. , to make up for the loss of the church as soon as possible, which is good for everyone."
Folden was high-spirited, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Evan didn't know whether this disdain was aimed at the Johnson couple or himself, but he just pretended that he didn't hear anything wrong, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, it's just my current Body…"
"You can rest assured." Ferd interrupted Evan: "Mrs. Johnson, I will invite you directly, you just need to wait at Cornwall Manor, no need Please go there yourself."
His personal words were very heavy, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
With such obvious emotions, Evan can no longer pretend not to hear, he frowned and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Folder sneered: "Now that Duke Wilson is no more, do you want to keep pretending?"
Evan's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly, "What do you mean?"
Folder looked at him and almost laughed at him: "What do I mean? Bruce, how did you treat me back then, do you want me to repeat it for you?"
He got up from his chair and approached Evan.
Evan can barely move now, his hands clenched tightly on the armrest of the chair, and he was speechless for a while, he did not expect that Ferd would turn his face with him so quickly .
