After Duke Wilson heard what Evan said, his hands trembled slightly. The next moment, Evan only felt his waist tighten, and Duke Wilson hugged him even tighter.
Evan couldn't help feeling a little touched, and gently stroked Duke Wilson's back.
The two of them hugged like this, and 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 said in a low voice, "You... Since you feel the same way, what about the church? Woolen cloth?"
Evan couldn't help being stunned when he heard his question. He never thought about it. Although he didn't mind this aspect, the church at this time was not as tolerant of this point as it is in modern times. At this time, homosexuality was still a crime.
Evan couldn't help being a little frustrated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, and whispered: "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 lowered his voice. He said: "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 feel at ease in Delanlier, don’t let these things distract you.”
Evan looked at Duke Wilson for a moment, then 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 but touch his forehead with his hand. The temperature of his palm made him frown: "You are in a very bad condition now, you must call a doctor!" His tone Very firm.
When Duke Wilson and Evan's palm touched his forehead, he couldn't help but tremble. The madness of last night flooded into his mind at once, and his face suddenly flushed red, unlike the pale appearance before. There is a huge contrast.
"What's the matter with you? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Evan hurriedly asked when Duke Wilson's face suddenly changed.
Duke Wilson immediately shook his head and turned his face away. Although he had married a long time ago and had children, the contact between him and his dead wife was like that of the strictest Puritan, and even the same bed was very restrained. , almost always wearing clothes and hastily, and he has never even been shirtless. Before that, he seemed to have never been interested in this kind of thing. If it wasn't for the inheritance of the Christ family, I'm afraid he wouldn't even bother about it. to do it, but last night...
What happened last night completely broke through his perception of this kind of thing, making him understand that there are still such crazy things in this world.
"If you insist on asking a doctor to come over, please ask Dr. Williams to come over. Chris knows his contact information and he was familiar with our family before." Duke Wilson suppressed his trembling voice and whispered.
Because of the dim light in the room, Evan didn't see Duke Wilson's expression clearly. He just nodded and helped him to lie down again. Then he was about to leave, but before leaving, he looked at Wilson with his eyes tightly closed. Duke, I don't know why Evan felt a little cute. He couldn't help but kissed his forehead. Feeling the instant stiffness of the person lying on the bed, Evan couldn't help laughing deeply and whispered: " Please don't worry, I will always watch over you." After speaking, he turned and left.
It wasn't until Evan left that 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, biting his lower lip. His face was burning with fever at this time, and his heartbeat was fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
It seems that since the moment he met Evan, his whole person has become 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 immediately went downstairs. Butler Chris was standing downstairs waiting with a worried look on his face. Seeing Evan coming down, he hurriedly greeted him: "Pastor Bruce, what is the matter with the Duke? …”
Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Evan raising his hand: "Go and invite Dr. Williams over, the Duke only accepts his treatment."
When he heard that he was going to ask for a doctor, the expression on Butler Chris's face became more and more anxious: "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 has a fever."
"What?" Butler Chris was immediately anxious: "This is really terrible, I will go to the doctor immediately."
Watching Butler Chris walk away with a heavy expression, Evan was still a little puzzled, but it was just a fever, so was he 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 can 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 the matter, so he lost the silence just now, and immediately ran upstairs.
When he rushed into the room, Duke Wilson was still staring at the ceiling stupidly, and suddenly he heard someone coming in, and immediately closed his eyes with a guilty conscience, while Evan rushed to the Duke's bed without heeding, half-heartedly. Kneeling beside him, looking at Duke Wilson's slightly flushed face, he was almost terrified.
"Lord Duke, is there anything you are uncomfortable with? 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?" It was still calm just now, why has it been so long? He panicked like this.
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 finally understood a little in his heart, and couldn't help but smile: "So you are worried about this, please don't worry, this little ailment will get better soon."
Evan looked at him in disbelief. "You don't have to comfort me. Just now your blushing was hot. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be sick." Evan lowered his head. Crazy mind pondered the knowledge he had acquired in modern times to see if it was possible to solve the present problems.
Hearing Evan talking about this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while. It turned out that he thought he had a fever.
Duke Wilson couldn't tell the reason at all, he could only let Evan hold his hand with a look of panic.
A quarter of an hour later, 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, and before he could catch his breath, he was dragged by Evan to Duke Wilson's bed again.
"Mr. Doctor, please take a quick look. How is the Duke's condition?"
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 an Evan, and hurried to Duke Wilson's bedside. He first looked at Duke Wilson's face, then took out a stethoscope and listened to Duke Wilson's heartbeat. relieved.
"Please don't worry." He said to the anxious butler Chris and Evan next to him: "The Duke just has a cold. Just stay in bed for the past few days, and don't see the wind again." Butler Chris looked like 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 again, but Evan couldn't believe the nineteenth-century doctor, still frowning: "Really? But the duke's face was very red before."
Dr. Williams raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the airtight room again, and said, "Maybe it's because this room is too stuffy, that's why I have such a reaction, please believe me, The Duke's heartbeat and breathing are normal."
Evan reluctantly accepted the reason, but couldn't help but say, "Then do you have any medicine?"
"Medicine?" Dr. Williams glanced at Evan with some doubts, originally wanted to refuse, but looked at the duke lying on the bed with a cold expression, and swallowed the words of refusal: "I was at an Oriental doctor before. Got a plant that 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 only glanced at the thing and knew that it was ginger. He didn't expect that this thing had also spread to the UK, and he couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart.
Butler Chris took the ginger very carefully, looking at the ginger as if he were looking at a sacred object, and whispered: "It's really great, God bless, those oriental medicines have always been very effective."
Butler Williams nodded in agreement, and said warmly, "Every time you cut a little and boil it into water, let the Duke take it, and it will be fine in a few days."
Butler Chris nodded and kept Dr. Williams' orders firmly in his heart.
In the end, Dr. Williams was sent away by Butler Chris himself. He came very embarrassed, but he received the highest courtesy when he left. The Duke's Palace even sent a carriage to take him back, which was very face-saving.
Evan was only relieved at this time. He sat beside Duke Wilson's bed and looked 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 but smile.
Evan smiled bitterly: "Don't laugh at me, this time is really terrible. If you really turn into pneumonia, I don't know what to do at all."
Speaking of these words, Evan also felt a little weird 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, he still thought this way three days ago, but after yesterday In the evening 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 but said, "Shall we go back to Deran Lier tomorrow?" Lanrell was just a place to hide from the limelight for Duke Wilson, but at this moment, it was indeed the place he felt warmest and missed the most. Now that the situation in London has stabilized, George no longer needs him. There was no need for him to remind him in front of George that he also had a powerful uncle.
Evan was taken aback by the Duke's proposal, and finally reacted immediately. He stroked Duke Wilson's soft black hair with a smile, and said with a smile, "Okay."
