Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 6: Something went wrong

Evan stayed in Cornwall Manor that night, and Dr. Hester stayed with him. Little Edward suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night, and everyone started talking nonsense, Hayes Dr. Te and Evan didn't sleep almost all night, and so did the Duke. He was in disarray in front of Edward's bed, exuding a gloomy aura.

When it was dawn, Edward's fever finally subsided, and there was a small episode, because according to the medical conditions of this era, bloodletting was generally adopted for cases such as fever, but Edward this year But at the age of six, Dr. Hester naturally did not dare to do such a thing, and his condition fell into anxiety for a while.

Seeing that Duke Wilson's complexion is comparable to the bottom of the pot. Fortunately, although Evan was a dude before, he still has this common sense. He immediately ordered the servant to bring cold water and apply cold compresses to Edward to cool down. Dr. Hester There was some hesitation at the beginning, but he couldn't come up with a better treatment, so he could only let Evan do these things.

Duke Wilson was very open-minded. He had almost no doubts about Evan, so he ordered the housekeeper to bring cold water. In fact, it is very likely that he was also desperate. You must know that the fever at this time is very serious. Be careful and it will turn into pneumonia, and then die.

Seeing that Edward's face gradually turned bloody, Duke Wilson's face was no longer so ugly. He glanced at Dr. Hester with some reproach, and Dr. Hester lowered his head in shame.

"Pastor Bruce, thank you so much for today." Duke Wilson turned to look at Evan, and his eyes were really grateful.

Evan smiled modestly: "It is God's blessing that Lord Edward can turn the corner."

Duke Wilson's expression was stagnant, he nodded reluctantly, drew a cross on his chest at will, and said dryly a word of praise to God.

Evan looked slightly picky. It seems that this legendary devout believer is not so devout.

However, Hester pulled Evan with a look of interest and asked him where he learned this treatment method. How could Evan tell the truth, only perfunctorily said that he heard from a doctor by chance , but made Dr. Hester sigh greatly, wishing to seek advice from the non-existent doctor immediately.

Evan got rid of Dr. Hester's entanglement in embarrassment and walked to Edward's bed. He was awake at this time, but his face was still a little bad. On the bed, there was no expression on his face, completely inconsistent with his lovely appearance.

Evan knows that this Lord Edward's character is definitely not good. Even the heroine in the original book has spent a lot of time in order to get close to him, so he tries his best to be gentle and gentle. , whispered: "How is Lord Edward feeling now?"

Edward glanced at Evan lazily, with no expression on his face: "Uncomfortable." There was a hint of fatigue in his soft voice.

Evan reached out and touched his forehead and smiled softly: "The fever has subsided, and it will get better soon."

Duke Wilson frowned at Edward and said solemnly, "Is there any way to ease his pain?"

Evan's outstretched hand paused slightly, and then smiled again: "Lord Lord sweated a lot this night. After that, as long as you add some water appropriately, it will slowly get better."

Sickness is so precious, if he knew how to ease the pain of the sick, he wouldn't need to be a priest.

Duke Wilson nodded solemnly, turned his head and instructed Butler Chris again, and then he looked a little stiffly at Edward, who had woken up, and said coldly, "Thanks to Bruce for your salvation this time. Pastor, don't do these dangerous things again."

Evan is a little surprised. The current Duke Wilson is completely different from the worried father before. Is this the way their father and son get along?

Edward seemed to have gotten used to this way of getting along, but nodded slightly and said thank you to Evan again.

Evan smiled and nodded, but didn't say much. It seems that he can't intervene easily now. He still has to observe and observe carefully. Besides, he remembers very clearly that the reason why the Duke turned black back then was also because of Edward's Death, this proud man who was born with a golden spoon in his body, was very weak. Later, because of the unrest in Yorkshire, Cornwall Manor also went wrong. Not only did Lord Edward die, but even the heroine was injured.

Duke Wilson was furious because of this, and almost turned Delan Lier over. A slaughter occurred, and the Duke was completely blackened.

Since Lord Edward is out of danger, Evan has no reason to stay in Cornwall Manor, and he did not wait for others to chase him, and first proposed to leave.

"Today's morning announcement has not been made, I have to go back to church first." Evan said to the Duke in a voice.

Duke Wilson nodded slightly, and his tone towards Evan was obviously different from before: "Trouble Pastor Bruce." After that, he instructed the housekeeper Chris to take him away in person.

Butler Chris bows to take orders.

Evan left Cornwall Manor with the butler, and Chris was very dedicated and sent him outside the iron gate, which was not treated when he came before.

Evan is very satisfied with this visit. He has successfully established a preliminary contact with Duke Wilson. It is up to him to see how it will develop in the future.

When Evan returned to church, the morning prayers were over, and Mrs. Sanders was sitting in the living room reading her books, wearing a pair of reading glasses.

Seeing Evan's return, there is no good expression on his face: "Pastor Bruce, why are you coming back now, you are too irresponsible."

Evan gave a wry smile: "Lord Edward had a fever last night, the Duke asked me to pray for the Lord in bed."

Mrs. Sanders was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly stood up: "Have a fever? How is your lord now?"

Looking at Mrs. Sanders' eager expression, Evan once again confirmed his inference. He has never seen Mrs. Sanders' gaffe like this. Her concern for children is precisely her mother's nature. Proof.

"My lord is fine. The fever subsided in the morning and is much better now."

Hearing Evan's words, Mrs. Sanders was obviously relieved: "It's good to have the fever, God bless."

Because of this incident, Mrs. Sanders' attitude towards Evan was obviously much better. She took the ledger on the table, pointed to Evan and said, "Pastor Bruce, there is something wrong with this account. This discrepancy is clearly outrageous, a pound an ounce of beef, oh my God, I've never heard anything so outrageous."

Evan frowned and took the ledger. He still didn't expect that there would be a real problem with the ledger. This was something that was completely unspoken in the original book.

Evan checked the accounts on this page one by one. The problem is not this one. Evan's preliminary estimate is that there are at least five or six hundred pounds difference. I don't know which crappy accountant did it. The ledger is simply unobstructed.

"Where is the deacon in charge of the ledger?" Evan said solemnly.

Mrs. Sanders took off the eyes on the bridge of her nose, rubbed the bridge of her nose tiredly, and whispered: "I just asked him to ask, before Pastor Ross left office, the ledger was kept in In the hands of Pastor Ross, he took over for only a few days, and he didn't know the problem."

Evan closed the ledger and had a general answer in his mind.

"Call the police, this matter is beyond our scope." He must not carry this blame.

Mrs. Sanders looked at Evan in surprise and raised her voice: "Call the police?" Then she immediately realized what was wrong with her, and lowered her voice: "How can the police know about this kind of thing? affect the image of the church."

Evan thought about Mrs. Sanders' psychology, and then said: "But if there is such a big discrepancy, if we don't call the police, how can we make up for the loophole? Even in order to maintain the reputation of the church, it should be Report it to the church and let the bishop make a decision."

Mrs. Sanders paused and said, "I know what you think, you must think that this is what Pastor Ross did, but I can tell you that Pastor Ross is the most honest and The most noble priest, he can't do these things, he must have been deceived, he is a good man, you must know, his knowledge of money is not as clear as I am a woman, we can't easily destroy his Personal reputation, it's better to be like this, do you like it? From today onwards, we will try our best to investigate people and things related to this matter privately. If nothing is found after a month, we will immediately report it to the church and let the church make a decision ."

Evan was a little nervous, but he couldn't refuse Mrs. Sanders' request directly.

After talking with Mrs. Sanders about the church accounts, Evan was deeply worried. This incident was completely unexpected. He was afraid that some kind of accident would cause him to have an unintelligible understanding of the intelligence he had in the world. change.

But this worry didn't last long, as he had been shaken by an even more shocking piece of news.

Evan had just finished his prayers that morning when Sheriff Chandler suddenly came to the church, and since that time he was sent home drunk by Evan, the relationship between him and Evan has become closer.

"Pastor Bruce, the Duke will also attend this fireworks festival. Please pay more attention when the time comes." The inappropriately dressed sheriff said carelessly.

"Fireworks show?" Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts, he had never heard of this.

"Oh, don't you know?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "I thought I had already told you." Sheriff Chandler smiled embarrassedly , and then explained to Evan the specific situation of this conference.

This is an old tradition in Derain Lier. On the day of the beginning of spring, a fireworks festival is held to celebrate the arrival of spring and hope for a bumper harvest in the coming year.

Evan plays a very important role in this process as Derain Riel's pastor, as he will be required to preside over this conference from start to finish.

Evan listened to Sheriff Chandler's description, and the whole person collapsed. He had never had any experience in this area, nor had he done any preparations before, and what was even more frustrating was that he was away from There are only three days left for the start of the fireworks display.
