When everyone left and only John was left with him, Thomas sat down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter? Are you tired? Didn't the count bring you here in a carriage?" Sensing the other party's abnormality, John asked worriedly.

"It's nothing." Thomas didn't want to look vulnerable, so he didn't mention the injury, "It's just that Downton has a lot of things these two days, and I'm a little tired."

"Carson is really, he is leaving, and he still orders you like that. Don't worry, no one can bully you. Tom watched me grow up. His father once saved his family, so he is loyal to me , I told him about the two of us, he will not make it difficult for you, but I still hope you can respect him, and you can call me when necessary." John said very seriously at first, and then when he talked about himself He began to get closer to Thomas indecently again.

"What can you do, John?" Thomas asked knowingly.

"Like this." John put Thomas down and kissed as he went up and down his hands, until Tom knocked on the door and said Mrs. Lance had dinner ready.

Since John was finally willing to return to Old Manor from Downton, the servants also had a certain understanding of their master.First of all, the owner didn't like that kind of long dining table, so the original luxurious dining table in the manor was thrown into the reception dining room by Mr. Spencer. Generally, the other party would not go in, but eat in his own small dining room.Secondly, Mr. Spencer doesn't like many servants to serve him. In the past, Mrs. Lance delivered the food herself, but now it is handed over to the housekeeper by the manservant.All in all, Mr. Spencer was a strange man, but considering his treatment of his servants and his American nationality, this was not a problem.I have to say that when John was recruiting servants, it was the right choice to recruit some simple people like Daisy.

Although the small dining room is not as gorgeous as the parlor dining room, it is decorated very warmly. The dining table is not very big and can seat 5 people. It is covered with printed tablecloths, and a red rose is inserted in a transparent crystal thin-necked vase. There are no candlesticks, as the entire estate is powered on, including the dining room.Around the room, John carefully ordered people to place some different varieties of orchids, lilies, sunflowers, green radishes, etc. He didn't know if Thomas would like it, but John wanted to smell the fresh aroma and eat, which would increase his appetite. of.He also put a lot of thought into the other decorations, which look full of rural warmth. No matter what others think, he likes it very much. If Thomas thinks something is not good, he can change it.

Thomas originally thought he was going to serve dinner, and was worrying about what would happen to his feet if he had to stand for an hour. Unexpectedly, he was dragged to a slightly smaller restaurant by John. The dishes were already set, and John pushed him into a chair. , he looked at the other party with doubts on his face, but he was full of questions but couldn't ask them.

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of eating." John said with a smile, pulled out the chair and sat down by himself, and then said to Tom, "Uncle Tom, go and rest, and the soup will be delivered later."

Tom took one look at Thomas before reluctantly going out.

"Mr. Smith doesn't seem to like me."

"It's not his problem alone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world are like cats and dogs. They are naturally at odds." John said with a malicious smile.

Thomas choked on the food: "I don't think Mr. Smith will be happy to hear this title."

"So don't tell him. Don't worry, Tom will like you. You can't let me go. I don't even want a Rome. You still have this confidence."

Thomas was successfully amused by John's words: "Then you must be a fool."

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, but this pleasant atmosphere did not last long, and Thomas developed a high fever before falling asleep.During dinner, John found that the other party was always fidgeting, and seemed to be troubled by something, and he was attracted to him.When going to Thomas' bedroom, John lay on the bed with his arms around him, ready to chat for a while, and then do some exercise by the way.But when Thomas came closer, John felt something was wrong, as if a big fireball hit his shoulder.

"Thomas? You have a fever! What's the matter?" John asked anxiously, but the other party just snorted in a daze, and he was already burned.

This really frightened John, how could such a good person suddenly have a fever?He tried his best to look at his watch calmly. It was 10 minutes past 5, and the servants probably fell asleep, so it would be a waste of time to wake them up again.So John just told Tom to bring him a horse, and he rode straight to Dr. Hurst's house to bring someone over.

"Oh my god, master! That's too dangerous, no, I don't agree. You are not familiar with the road here. Riding a horse at night is like walking a tightrope on a cliff, but you are not a skilled acrobat!" Tom fiercely objected.

John knew that he was doing it for his own good, but under the current situation, he felt that it would be a waste of time to say one more word, so he said firmly, "Then I'll go lead the horse myself."

In the end, the butler Tom was defeated again, so he had to bring over a black horse that looked more reliable. John got on the horse and said before leaving: "Uncle Tom, please cool Thomas down with an ice towel. Me, just say I’m going to pick up the doctor, and I’ll be right back...but don’t say I went on a horse.” After speaking, John couldn’t wait to gallop away with his horse and whip.

Fortunately, his horse skills are good, and there are no dangers along the way.Dr. Hurst was asleep, but was awakened by John's knocking on the door like a war drum, and was urged to put on clothes in a daze, before he figured out what happened.While riding on the bumpy horse, the doctor endured the discomfort and slandered to himself: At first he thought someone was dying, but unexpectedly it was just a fever. He had heard that Mr. Spencer was very kind to his servants, but this Also great.

When Dr. Hurst arrived at the manor, Thomas was still awake, so he was unable to question the patient.After the examination, he said: "There is no problem with the internal organs. The fever is due to inflammation in the body, but there seems to be no wound on his body..."

While Dr. Hurst was thinking, John's brain was also running rapidly. From the time Thomas came here, thinking back to just now, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He walked quickly to the end of the bed, took off Thomas' socks, and sure enough, A thick bandage was wrapped around the left foot.Dr. Hurst also rushed over to remove the gauze, and a long wound appeared in front of John's eyes. Because he didn't get a good rest and was wrapped too tightly, the wound festered and became inflamed.

John was going crazy, he was angry with Thomas for being too brave, and he was even more angry that he didn't pursue the question since he found out that something was wrong, and he was always led away from the topic by the other party!Sure enough, I can't get too used to this person...

He managed to send off Dr. Hurst with a smile on his face. After remembering the doctor's order, John asked Tom to rest by himself, and reminded him the next day before the servants came to tidy up the room.He doesn't go back to his room at night, and sleeps in Thomas' bedroom, which is also convenient to take care of, and he can't feel relieved if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.
