Downton Abbey for your happiness

Chapter 43 Goodbye Charlotte

Although there are few clear skies over England, no one likes the days without the sun. It seems that the whole meadow has lost its green vitality and the farmland looks bleak.The scenery outside did not affect the mood of the Earl's family at all. They were immersed in welcoming Downton's new heir until——

"Master... well, I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt your happy time, because I just received a call from the hospital, and they informed me of a news, oh no, it's bad news..." Carson hastily tweeted He opened the door, paused, and said with a heavy face.

"My God, it can't be Mary..." The countess looked like she was about to faint.

"No, no, it's Mr. Crawley and Miss Nemours. The hospital called to say that they had a car accident on the way back. Mr. Crawley is fine, but Miss Nemours..."

"Oh! God! Is it Charlotte? Carson, what's going on?" Sieber jumped up from the sofa when he heard the news.

"Yes, Miss." Carson sighed, "According to the people in the hospital, the truck on the other side was driving very fast, and the two vehicles collided head-on. Miss Nemours was trying to save Mr. Crawley...no one survived. possible……"

Although it was cruel to say so, everyone was indeed relieved, at least Matthew was saved.Siebel's feelings are more complicated. On the one hand, she is happy that Matthew survived the catastrophe, but on the other hand, she is saddened by Charlotte's sudden departure. She is still so young, and she shouldn't have ended her life journey early...

But there is still a problem, how to tell this news to the seriously injured Mr. Spencer?Especially considering that the other party has injured his head, what if he faints from excitement...

In the end, John found out about this matter. He woke up from his groggy state all of a sudden. He didn't expect that after staring at Matthew for several months, he still couldn't catch him. Something went wrong at the most critical moment. Does he have to die? Someone to replace Matthew?When John learned that Matthew was fine, he was excited. God finally let his cousin go.But when he heard that Charlotte used her body to withstand most of the impact from the truck and died on the spot, John couldn't believe it for a moment!But the fact is the fact, he couldn't deny it, and time didn't give him much free time.

John wrote to inform the Duke and Duchess of Nemours of the news that would make them miserable. He really didn't have the courage to tell the whole thing on the phone.The Duke and Duchess of Nemours arrived two days later than the agreed time, and only the Duke of Nemours came to the Autobots.After meeting John, he found out that the duchess fainted on the spot when she heard the news, and then fell ill. The duke was worried about his wife and stayed there for two days, but his daughter’s body was still in the UK. When he thought of this, he couldn’t stay any longer .

Although the Duke's appearance is still the same and his clothes are decent, he seems to be 10 years older. Even with crutches, he can't stabilize his trembling body.When he went to the hospital to take Charlotte away, the Earl's family also went. Matthew seemed to be in good health, but his spirit was not very good, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in pain.He wanted to say something to the Duke, but the Duke tactfully avoided it.John didn't have any more energy to pay attention to other people, he just patted Matthew on the shoulder and followed.

He could fully understand Matthew's mood. John always felt that Charlotte was killed because of his wife's restraint. This kind of thing didn't happen once or twice before, and he was not a person with excess emotions, but Charlotte always It's not the same, even if it's not a lover, it's still a cousin who grew up together.And what's more depressing is that Matthew's pain is obvious, but his pain cannot be appealed to others.Thomas discovered that he was depressed, and suggested that the two should leave here for a while, and come back after the sadness is cured by time.John knew Thomas was there to make him happy, and it was a good thing he had Thomas.

"Don't worry, Thomas, I'll be fine, it just takes time." John comforted the other party, if there is a cheat, he can't stop Charlotte from liking him, and he has been rejecting the other party, the ending beyond the plot is not him It can be controlled, so what John needs now is to use time to dilute his guilt.

Originally, he wanted to visit his cousin in Scotland, but when he thought that the Duchess of Nemours was seriously ill because of this incident, John thought of doing something to help relieve the sadness in his heart.Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived in Paris, the Duchess died.Now the white-haired man had just finished delivering the black-haired man, and he was about to hold a funeral for his wife, and the duke was almost knocked down.The funeral was still organized with the help of Mrs. Winston and the two brothers Joseph and Beavis, and John also contributed, otherwise he would not know what to do.

Even if you are sad, the days should move forward and will not stop.One month has passed since the funeral, and with Thomas' company, John felt much better. As the other party said, Charlotte left to save Matthew. She dared to make a choice at the moment of life. Missing her for any other reason is an insult to her.

But not everyone is over the loss of Charlotte.The Duke of Nemours has been depressed since he lost his daughter and wife one after another, and he has lost interest in everything. The affairs of the family and the company are temporarily handed over to his two younger brothers, while he hides in the manor, misses his relatives, and refuses to see him. Others, just have a drink or two with John.

John found that the Duke was always drinking alcohol. He could understand it, but he couldn't let it go. The other party was old. If this continued, he would definitely turn into alcoholism. Alcoholism is no worse than drug addiction. If he doesn't stop it, he will die soon. Time to attend the duke's funeral again.

Just when he was distressed, a turning point came.The duke was walking in the garden with John that day when two lawyers called in unexpectedly to see the duke of nemours, saying that there was a will of miss charlotte nemours to be published.It turned out that Matthew had considered making a will for Mary before, and Charlotte happened to be next to her. She looked at the fun and thought what Matthew said made sense, so she also made a will.

The will reads: Dear cousin, I came to Matthew’s law firm today as a guest, and suddenly realized that I should also make a will, in case God calls me back someday Is it yours?), if there is such a day, what a pity that I left without leaving a word!So I hereby make a will that of all that I own and that I will inherit, I want to leave 80.00% of them to my cousin John Spencer and the remaining 20.00% to my teaching Female Bonnie Branson.Except for the paintings in my collection, which I will leave to Aunt Winston, my cousin always said that precious things should be left to those who know how to appreciate them.

Maybe it will be a long time before this will is used, maybe I will revise it again in the future, but for now.In the end, I give all my love. —Charlotte Nemours
