Chapter 97: Fantastic Situation
After Duke Wilson heard what Evan said, his hands trembled slightly. The next moment, Evan only felt a tight waist, and Duke Wilson hugged him even tighter.
Evan couldn't help but feel a little touched, and gently stroked Duke Wilson's back.
The two of them hugged like this, the atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
After a long time, Duke Wilson finally let go of Evan's waist, he lowered his head, did not look at Evan's face, and whispered: "You... Since you feel the same way, , then what about the church?"
Evan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his question. He never thought about it. Although he didn't mind this aspect, the church at this time was very concerned about this. But it is not as tolerant as it is in modern times. At this time, homosexuality is still a crime.
Evan couldn't help being a little frustrated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "I betrayed God's teachings, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in the church."
Saying such words, Evan's face showed a look of regret, as if he was really helpless about this result.
Duke Wilson listened to Evan's slightly bitter voice and couldn't help biting his lip. He was very aware of Evan's love for God, and also understood the rejection of same-sex love in this era. He couldn't help biting his teeth and whispered, "Don't do this." He raised his head and looked at Duke Wilson with a firm expression: "This matter is all my fault, it has nothing to do with you, please don't blame yourself. , the church won't know about this, please stay in Delan Lier at ease, don't let these things distract you."
Evan looked at Duke Wilson for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile: "How can you say it's your fault? This was originally a matter between the two of us. ."
Duke Wilson never expected that Evan would say such a thing. He looked at Evan's smiling face and pursed his lips slightly, but his heart was surging.
Evan looked at Duke Wilson and couldn't help touching his forehead with his hand, the temperature of his palm made him frown: "You are in a very bad condition now, you must Please come here!" His tone was firm.
When Duke Wilson and Evan's palm touched his forehead, he couldn't help shaking for a while, the madness of last night poured into his brain, and his face suddenly swelled It was flushed red, forming a huge contrast with the pale appearance before.
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Evan asked hurriedly when Duke Wilson's face suddenly changed.
Duke Wilson immediately shook his head and turned his face away. Although he had long been married and had children, the contact between him and his dead wife was like the strictest Puritan, Even in the same bed, he is very restrained. He almost always ends up wearing clothes, and he has never even been shirtless. Before this, he seemed to have never been interested in this kind of thing, if it was not for the inheritance of the Christ family. , I'm afraid he doesn't even bother to do this, but last night...
What happened last night completely broke through his perception of this kind of thing, making him understand that there are such crazy things in this world.
"If you insist on getting a doctor over, please ask Dr. Williams to come over. Chris knows his contact information. He used to be familiar with our family." Duke Wilson suppressed his trembling voice. , in a low voice.
Because of the dim light in the room, Evan didn't see Duke Wilson's expression clearly, just nodded and helped him to lie down again, and was about to leave, but before leaving, look at Looking at Duke Wilson with his eyes tightly closed, Evan felt a little cute for some reason. He couldn't help but kissed his forehead and felt the instant stiffness of the person lying on the bed. Evan couldn't help laughing. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Please don't worry, I will always watch over you." After that, he turned and left.
Waiting until Evan left, Duke Wilson opened his eyes. He looked at the direction of the door blankly. After a long time, he couldn't help raising his hand to cover his eyes. He bit his lower lip deadly, his face was burning with fever at this moment, and his heartbeat was fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
It seems that from the moment he met Evan, his whole person became abnormal, Duke Wilson put down his hand, looked at the dark void, and thought unconsciously in his heart.
After Evan left Duke Wilson's room, he went downstairs immediately. Butler Chris was standing downstairs waiting with a worried look. Seeing Evan coming down, he hurried up to meet him : "Pastor Bruce, Lord Duke in the end..."
Before he could finish his words, Evan raised his hand to stop him: "Go and invite Dr. Williams over, the Duke only accepts his treatment."
The expression on Butler Chris's face became more and more anxious when he heard that he was going to call a doctor: "Doctor? What happened to the Duke?"
Evan felt a little guilty, but he couldn't really tell him the truth at this time, so Evan could only whisper: "The Duke caught a cold on the way back and got a little fever."
"What?" Butler Chris was in a hurry: "This is really terrible, I will go to the doctor immediately."
Watching Butler Chris walk away with a heavy expression, Evan is still a little puzzled, but he is a fever, so he is so serious? Then he suddenly remembered that this is not a modern day with complete medical facilities. At this time, a simple typhoid fever can easily take a person's life.
Evan finally panicked at this time, what should I do? If it is fever, it is fine, but if it turns into pneumonia, it will be fatal.
Evan finally realized the seriousness of this matter, so he lost his quietness and ran upstairs immediately.
Rushing to the Duke's bed, half-kneeling beside him, looking at Duke Wilson's slightly flushed face, he was almost scared out of his mind.
"Your Excellency, is there anything you feel uncomfortable about? Hold on for a while, and the doctor will be here soon."
Listening to Evan's hurried tone, Duke Wilson opened his eyes with some doubts. Looking at his flustered eyes, Duke Wilson couldn't help but jump in his heart: "What's wrong with you?" Still calm, why did he panic like this in such a short time.
Evan shook his head with a heavy expression, held Duke Wilson's exposed hand, and whispered, "You need to get better soon."
When Duke Wilson heard this sentence, he understood a little in his heart and couldn't help but smiled: "So you are worried about this, please don't worry, this little ailment is very serious. It'll get better soon."
Evan looked at him in disbelief: "You don't have to comfort me, your blushing just now, it's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be sick ." Evan lowered his head, frantically thinking about the knowledge he had acquired in modern times to see if it was possible to solve the current problem.
Hearing Evan talk about this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It turned out that he thought he had a fever. no…
Duke Wilson couldn't tell the reason at all, he could only let Evan grab his hand with a look of panic.
After a quarter of an hour, a clutter of footsteps finally came in from outside the door, and Evan immediately stood up and looked out the door.
Williams was almost driven in by Butler Chris. Before he could catch his breath, he was dragged by Evan to Duke Wilson's bed again.
"Mr. Doctor, please take a look, how is the condition of the Duke?"
Evan looked flustered at this time, as if the man who was good at calculating before was not him.
Williams was also taken aback by such Evan, and hurried to Duke Wilson's bedside, he first looked at Duke Wilson's face, and then took out a stethoscope to listen Duke Wilson's heartbeat sounded, and he was relieved.
Don't see the wind again." Looking at the appearance of Butler Chris before, he thought what happened to the Duke, but he didn't expect it to be a false alarm.
Butler Chris was relieved after hearing these words, but Evan couldn't believe the nineteenth century doctor, still frowning: "Really? But before The Duke's face is red."
Dr. Williams raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the airtight room again, and said, "Maybe it's because this room is so stuffy, that's why this is the case. Please believe me, Lord Duke's heartbeat and breathing are normal."
Evan reluctantly accepted the reason, but couldn't help but said, "Then do you have any medicine?"
"Medicine?" Dr. Williams glanced at Evan with some doubts, originally wanted to refuse, but looked at the indifferent Duke lying on the bed, and swallowed the words of refusal: " I got a botanical from an oriental doctor before and it was pungent but effective."
He carefully took out a solid white piece from the bag, cut a small piece, and handed it to Evan.
Evan just glanced at the thing and knew that it was ginger. He didn't expect that this thing had also spread to the United Kingdom, and he couldn't help crying and laughing.
Butler Chris took the **** very carefully, looking at the **** as if he was looking at a holy object, and whispered: "It's really good, God bless, those oriental medicines have always been are very effective.”
Butler Williams nodded in agreement and said warmly: "You cut a little bit into water every time, let the Duke take it, and it will be fine in a few days."
Butler Chris nodded, keeping Dr. Williams' orders firmly in his heart.
In the end, Dr. Williams was sent away by the housekeeper Chris himself. He came very embarrassed, but when he left, he received the highest courtesy. The Duke's Palace even sent a carriage to send him. Went back, very nice.
Evan was relieved at this time. He sat beside Duke Wilson's bed, looking a little tired.
Duke Wilson looked up at his profile, but there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.
"I didn't expect you to be so reckless." Duke Wilson couldn't help laughing.
Evan gave a wry smile: "Don't laugh at me, this time is really scary, if you really turn into pneumonia, I don't know what to do at all."
Saying these words, Evan also felt a little strange in his heart. At first, he just wanted to hold on to Duke Wilson as a favorable backer to make his life better. In fact, three days ago, he was still He thought so, but after last night and today, he was a little unsure whether his heart was really as cold as he imagined.
The Duke looked at Evan's thoughtful look, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He eagerly wanted to capture Evan's eyes and mind, and couldn't help saying: "We will go back to Deranley tomorrow. Are you alright?" Perhaps Delan Lier was just a place to hide from the limelight for Duke Wilson before, but at this moment, it is indeed the place he warms and misses the most, and now the situation in London has stabilized , George doesn't need him anymore, and he doesn't need to remind him again in front of George that he has a powerful uncle.
Evan was taken aback by the Duke's proposal, and finally reacted immediately. He smiled and stroked Duke Wilson's soft black hair, and said with a smile, "Okay."
