Chapter 92: 97

After hearing what Evan said, Duke Wilson’s hands trembled. The next moment, Evan felt his waist tighten as Duke Wilson hugged him even tighter.

Evan was touched in his heart and gently stroked Duke Wilson’s back.

The two of them embraced 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 without looking at Evan’s face, and said in a low voice, “You…since you feel the same way, what should we do about the church?”

Evan was stunned when he heard his question, he had never considered this point. Although he himself didn’t mind this aspect, the church in this time period was not like the modern church that was more tolerant about this issue. At this time, homosexual love is still a crime.

Evan was a little frustrated, and there was a wry smile on his lips as he said in a low voice, “I have betrayed God’s teachings, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive in the church.”

Saying these words, Evan’s face showed a regretful look, making it seem as though he is really full of helplessness about this result.

Duke Wilson bit his lips when he heard Evan’s slightly bitter voice. He was very clear about Evan’s love for God and at the same time, he understood the rejection of same-sex love in this era. He said, “Don’t do this.” He raised his head and looked at Evan with a firm expression, “This matter is all my fault and has nothing to do with you. Please don’t blame yourself, the church will not know about this. Please, just stay in Delanlier with peace of mind and don’t let these things distract you.”

Evan looked at Duke Wilson, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, “Why? Can it be said that it was your fault? This is originally a matter between the two of us.”

Duke Wilson never expected Evan to say such a thing. He looked at Evan’s smiling face and pursed his lips slightly, but the feeling in his heart was heart-wrenching.

Evan looked at Duke Wilson and touched his forehead with his hand. The temperature he felt on his palm made him frown, “You are in a very bad condition now, we must call a doctor!” His tone very firm.

When Duke Wilson felt the touch of Evan’s palm on his forehead, he trembled. The memories of the madness of last night flooded into his mind and his face flushed red, which was a huge contrast from his previous pale appearance.

“What’s wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?” Evan asked hurriedly when he saw Duke Wilson’s face suddenly change.

Duke Wilson immediately shook his head and turned his face away. Although he had married a wife and had a child long ago, the contact between him and his dead wife was like the strictest Puritan. Even when sharing the same bed, they were very restrained. Almost all of their interactions ended with both of them still in clothes, and he never even faced such interactions shirtless. Before this, he seemed to have never been half interested in this kind of thing. If it weren’t for the inheritance of the Christ family, he wouldn’t have even bothered to do it, but last night…

What happened last night completely broke through the perception he had about this kind of thing, and made him understand that there are such crazy things in this world.

“If you insist on inviting the doctor, please invite Dr. Williams. Chris knows his contact information. He was familiar with our family before.” Duke Wilson suppressed his trembling voice and said in a low voice.

Because of the dim light in the room, Evan didn’t see Duke Wilson’s expression clearly. He just nodded and helped him lie down again. Then he was about to leave, but before leaving, he looked at Duke Wilson, who had his eyes tightly closed. Evan felt he was a little cute for some reason and kissed his forehead, feeling the momentary stiffness of the person lying on the bed. Evan smiled and said in a low voice, “Please don’t worry, I will always watch over you.” Then he turned and left.

It wasn’t until Evan left that Duke Wilson opened his eyes. He stared in the direction of the door in a daze. After a long time, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and bit his lower lip. At this moment, his face was burning hot and his heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

It seemed that from the moment he met Evan, his whole body became abnormal. Duke Wilson put down his hand, looked into the dark void as he thought about some things in his heart.

After Evan left Duke Wilson’s room, he went downstairs immediately. Butler Chris was standing downstairs waiting with a worried expression. When he saw Evan coming down, he hurriedly greeted him, “Reverend Bruce, what is wrong with the Duke?…”

Before he finished speaking, Evan stopped him by raising his hand, “Go and invite Dr. Williams over, the Duke only accepts his treatment.”

As soon as he heard that he wanted to invite a doctor, the expression on Butler Chris’ face became more and more anxious, “Doctor? What happened to the Duke?”

Evan felt a little guilty, but he really couldn’t tell him the truth at this time, so Evan had to say, “The Duke caught a cold on the way back. He has a fever.”

“What?” Butler Chris immediately became anxious, “This is really terrible, I’ll call for a doctor immediately.”

Seeing Butler Chris walk away with a heavy expression, Evan was still a little puzzled, wasn’t it just a fever? Is it so serious to have a fever? Then he suddenly remembered that this is not the modern age with complete medical facilities. At this time, a simple typhoid fever can easily kill a person.

Evan finally panicked at this moment, what should he do? If it’s a fever, it’s okay, but if it turns into pneumonia, it’s fatal.

Evan finally realized the seriousness of the matter, so he completely lost the composure he had just now and immediately ran upstairs.

When he rushed into the room, Duke Wilson was still staring at the ceiling stupidly when he suddenly heard someone coming in and immediately closed his eyes guiltily, while Evan rushed to the Duke’s bed. Kneeling beside him and looking at Duke Wilson’s flushed face, he was almost scared out of his wits.

“My lord duke, do you have any discomfort? Hold on for a while, the doctor will be here soon.”

Hearing Evan’s hurried tone, Duke Wilson opened his eyes doubtfully, looking at his flustered expression, Duke Wilson’s heart jumped, “What’s wrong with you?” Evan was still calm just now, why did he panic like this after such a short time.

Evan shook his head with a heavy expression, held Duke Wilson’s exposed hand and said in a low voice, “You need to get well soon.”

Duke Wilson understood a little bit after hearing these words, and endured the pain as he smiled, “So you are worried about this. Please rest assured, this minor illness will get better soon.”

Evan looked at him in disbelief, “You don’t have to comfort me. Your fever just now is all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be sick.” Evan lowered his head, thinking about the knowledge he acquired in modern times in his frantic mind, to see if it was possible to solve the problem now.

Hearing Evan talk about this, Duke Wilson couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. It turned out that Evan thought he had a fever. After knowing the reason, Duke Wilson could only let Evan hold his hand with a look of panic.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of chaotic footsteps finally came from outside the door and Evan immediately stood up and looked at the door.

Dr. Williams was almost rushed in by Butler Chris, and before he could catch his breath, he was dragged to Duke Wilson’s bedside by Evan.

“Doctor, please take a quick look, how is the Duke’s condition?”

Evan looked flustered at this time, as if he was not the one who was so good at calculating before.

Williams was also taken aback by Evan being like this and he hurried to Duke Wilson’s bedside. He first looked at Duke Wilson’s face, then took out his stethoscope and listened to Duke Wilson’s heartbeat. After a while, he was relieved.

“Please don’t worry.” He said to Butler Chris and Evan who were waiting anxiously next to him, “The Duke just has a cold. He just needs to stay in bed for a few days and rest.” Before, when he saw the appearance of Chris the butler, he thought that something bad had happened to the Duke, but he didn’t expect it to be a false alarm.

Butler Chris heaved a sigh of relief after hearing these words, but Evan couldn’t believe the nineteenth-century doctor and he asked, still frowning, “Really? But the Duke’s face was very red before.”

Dr. William 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 he had such a reaction. Please believe me, Duke Wilson’s heartbeat and breathing are very normal.”

Evan reluctantly accepted the reason, but still couldn’t help asking, “Then do you have any medicine?”

“Medicine?” Dr. Williams looked at Evan doubtfully. He originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the Duke lying on the bed with a cold expression, he swallowed the words of refusal, “I got a plant from an oriental doctor before. Although it is very spicy, it is very effective.”

He carefully took out a piece of a white solid from his bag, cut a small piece and handed it to Evan.

Evan only took one look at the thing and knew it was ginger. He didn’t expect that this thing would spread to the UK, and he felt a little bit dumbfounded.

Butler Chris took the ginger very carefully, looked at the ginger as if looking at a sacred object, and said, “It’s really great, God bless those oriental medicines, they have always been very effective.”

Dr. Williams nodded in agreement and said softly, “Every time you boil it in a little bit of water and let the duke take it, he will be fine in a few days.”

Butler Chris nodded and firmly remembered Dr. Williams’ orders.

In the end, Dr. Williams was sent away by Butler Chris himself. He came in a very embarrassing way, but received the highest courtesy when he left. The Duke’s mansion even sent a carriage to send him back, which was very face-saving.

Evan was relieved at this moment. He was sitting by Duke Wilson’s bed, looking a little tired.

Duke Wilson looked up at the side of his face, there was a faint sweetness in his heart.

“I didn’t expect you to be so reckless.” Duke Wilson laughed.

Evan smiled bitterly, “Don’t laugh at me, this time was really scary. If it really turned into pneumonia, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

As he spoke these words, Evan also felt a little weird. At first, he just wanted to hold on to Duke Wilson as a favorable backer to make his life better. In fact, he had still been thinking this way just three days ago, but after last night and today, he became a little uncertain. Is his heart really as cold as he imagined?

Seeing Evan’s pensive look, the Duke felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was eager to catch Evan’s eyes and mind, and said, “Shall we go back to Delanlier tomorrow?” For Duke Wilson, Delanlier was just a shelter from the wind, but at this moment, it is indeed the place that he misses most in his heart. Now that the situation in London has stabilized, George no longer needs him. There was no need for him to stay and remind George that he still has such a powerful uncle.

Evan was taken aback by the Duke’s proposal, and realized what he meant immediately. He stroked Duke Wilson’s soft black hair with a smile and said with a smile, “Okay.”
