"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 eyebrows and covered his expression. Unnatural, said warmly.
Evan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You are really a warm-hearted person. If that's the case, then I'll disturb you for a while."
Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and glanced 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 lowered his eyes and smiled, but said nothing.
Seeing that Evan stopped talking, Duke Wilson said: "I came here today because I want to instruct Dr. Hester about a few things. He looked straight at Dr. Hester with a cold expression on his face."
The back of Dr. Hester's head froze, and he looked at Duke Wilson a little dumbfounded.
"You... please order." Dr. Hester's voice was a little uneasy.
Duke Wilson suddenly smiled at this time, but the coldness in his eyes did not subside at all.
"You didn't tell anyone about Pastor Bruce's injury, did you?"
At that time, the only one who knew about Evan's injury was Dr. Hester, except for the servants in Duke Wilson's house. Before, Duke Wilson believed in Dr. Hester's medical ethics on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he was trying to track down the assassin in the past few days, Without freeing up his hands, now that Duke Wilson has finally dealt with foreign affairs, Dr. Hester also remembered this matter.
Dr. Hester's heart tightened and he said quickly, "Don't worry, even Arya doesn't know about this. I won't reveal it to anyone. You can trust me completely."
Dr. Hester has not been foolish enough for this. This incident 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 still 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, a trace of disdain flashed in Duke Wilson's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "You'd better remember what you said today. If there is any rumor about 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 with 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 him.
"Pastor Bruce." Duke Wilson tried his best to control his emotions to normal, and whispered: "This matter is very important, you won't mind?" He looked at Evan tentatively.
Evan's originally empty expression paused slightly and turned to look at Duke Wilson.
"Of course I don't mind. I also agree with your consideration."
There was a smile at the corner of Evan's mouth. The matter Duke Wilson said is indeed very important. The current affairs are obviously not in the hands of the common people. It is better to have less than one more thing. Let them solve it by themselves.
Hearing this, Duke Wilson was relieved, 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 murmured in his heart. He was cold and ruthless to himself. He asked so softly in front of Pastor Bruce. It was really different.
Duke Wilson didn't have enough 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 yet well, please rest first, I am 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.
Ferde is a big trouble, and he actually has no grievances with him, but because of the relationship between the original owner, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to have any warm scenes. On the contrary, because of the relationship between the original owner, he is very likely to be exposed. Gao, Evan couldn't take that risk.
And Arya, although the Duke's sense of her is very bad now, but due to the understanding of the original book, Evan's heart is still not sure, and the threat of Arya still lies in Evan's heart.
These two people are troublesome for Evan, and Evan feels that he must solve these two problems quickly now.
A few days later, Mr. Johnson's matter still did not come to fruition, the whole town was in a rumor, Rael was detained, Mrs. Johnson went back to the town police station every day to ask questions, and the pressure of Sheriff Chandler increased sharply.
Evan lived a very comfortable life. Within the confines of Cornwall Manor, he didn't need to worry about anything. He just needed to recover from his injuries. From time to time, he would contact Edward again, read him the Bible, and listen to him talk about his own. Thoughts came and went, and Edward became more dependent on him.
As for Duke Wilson, I don't know what I've been busy with these few days. I used to come to have afternoon tea with him every afternoon. Now, except for breakfast, I haven't seen him again.
That day, Evan was reading the Bible for Edward in the garden. Edward had always been an obedient child in front of Evan. He lay quietly on Evan's knee and looked at Evan without blinking.
Evan's voice was soft and quiet, with a soothing power, Edward looked at Evan with a reverence, his eyes sparkling with crystal light.
Evan lowered his head and glanced at Edward, patted the top of his hair with a smile, and said warmly, "Do you understand?"
Edward nodded: "Understood, tutors have taught me before."
Hearing him talking about this, Evan's hand couldn't help but pause, and said unintentionally, "Tutor?"
"Well, Miss Daisy, Miss Daisy is away these days, she will be back in a few days." Edward threw himself into Evan's arms with a smile, and whispered: "Miss Daisy is very beautiful, You'll love her for sure."
Evan listened to Edward's childish words, but he couldn't help but move in his heart. He almost forgot that in this book, in addition to his card dealer, there was also Daisy, a female supporting actress who kept dying. A stepping stone for the heroine Arya.
"When will Miss Daisy come 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, Evan also understood that it seemed that Miss Daisy's status in Edward's place was not low.
"I see."
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 kill herself. It seems that she doesn't need to take action in advance.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report.
"Pastor Bruce, a gentleman wants to see you."
The valet's expression was a little tangled, obviously feeling a little tricky. Cornwall Manor always does not accept guests who have not received an invitation. This kind of situation makes it a little difficult for him to adapt.
Evan frowned, who would come to him at this time
"A gentleman? Who is it?"
The servant thought for a while and finally said, "It's the gentleman who came with Mrs. Sanders last time."
Evan's eyebrows could not help but wrinkle, it turned out to be Fold! What does he come to do
"Did he say his purpose?" Evan asked.
The footman nodded slightly: "He said he came to you for the church, and it was very urgent."
For the sake of this, Evan couldn't really refuse, so he could only say: "Then let him in."
The servant was a little reluctant in his heart, but thinking of the Duke's order before, 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, go up first, I'll come to find you later."
Edward was still in high spirits at first, but now he was tired in an instant, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Evan, so he could only jump down from Evan's knees a little dejected, and 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 couldn't stand up very well because of his health, so he just smiled and said, "Mr. Verde, I'm sorry I can't stand up to greet you, please take a seat."
Ferd sat next to Evan very casually, stroked his cuffs, and said in a low voice, "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 a little fakely: "What is the important thing for you to come here this time?"
Ferd raised his eyebrows, and his slightly flat face suddenly showed a bit of playfulness.
"You should have heard about Mr. Johnson's affairs these few days, right? The matter has not been resolved, but the church's affairs cannot be delayed forever. I suggest you go to Mrs. Johnson with me and make up for the loss of the church as soon as possible. , it's good for everyone."
Verde's air was high, and there was a trace of disdain in his tone.
Evan didn't know whether the disdain was aimed at the Johnson couple or himself, but he just pretended that he didn't hear anything wrong, nodded and said, "You're right, it's just my current body..."
"You just need to rest assured." Ferd interrupted Evan's words: "I will invite Mrs. Johnson directly. You just need to wait at Cornwall Manor, and you don't need to bother to go in person."
His personal words were very heavy, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Evan could no longer pretend not to hear such obvious emotions. He frowned and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Fuld sneered: "Now that Duke Wilson is no longer, do you still want to pretend?"
Evan's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly, "What do you mean?"
Fuld looked at him and was almost smirked by him: "What do I mean? Bruce, what did you do to me back then, do you want me to repeat it for you?"
He stood up from his chair and approached Evan.
Evan can hardly move now, his hands clasped the armrest of the chair tightly, and he was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that Ferd would turn his face with him so quickly.
