Guidebook for the Dark Duke

When Evan woke up, his whole body was very uncomfortable, his throat seemed to be on fire, his head was heavy like lead, but more importantly, his back hurt like Like torn.

Evan struggled to open his eyes, but was stimulated by the dazzling sunlight and closed them again. He wanted to drink water, but found that the only thing he could move now was his fingers.

Evan exhausted all his strength, but just let his fingers slide a few times on the bed sheet, and Evan's heart was suddenly filled with despair.

But at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Are you awake?" With surprise, but also with ecstasy.

This voice was very familiar to Evan, and his ignorant mind instantly woke up, and his previous calculations immediately surfaced in his mind.

"Wei..." Evan only uttered one tone, but he didn't have the strength to continue. He turned his face and looked at the face in front of him, which could be regarded as a mess.

Duke Wilson looked at Evan, almost in ecstasy. He grabbed Evan's hand outside the quilt with some excitement: "Don't talk, I'll go to Dr. Hester."

He almost stumbled and ran out, not at all like the cold and arrogant Duke before.

Evan squinted his eyes and looked at his back, knowing something in his heart, and a somewhat smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then his mind was captured by his thirsty throat and burning pain in his back.

Evan opened his mouth, and his whole heart curled up in pain.

After a while, Duke Wilson finally ran in with Dr. Hester and several servants.

Dr. Hester should have just woken up, his hair was still a little messy, and his glasses were hanging crookedly on the bridge of his nose, looking a little ridiculous.

"Mr. Pastor, how do you feel now?" Dr. Hester immediately displayed the professionalism of a doctor, walked up to Evan, and asked in a low voice.

Evan wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single tone. When Dr. Hester saw it, he immediately said with experience: "Go and bring a glass of warm water."

Steward Chris immediately reacted and went out to pour water. The Duke also walked up to Evan, half-kneeling in front of his bed, looking at Evan with eyes as soft as lake water, even though Evan's heart was full of water at this time. No matter how regretful it was, it was worth it after seeing this scene.

Steward Chris acted very quickly, and warm water was brought up immediately. Doctor Hester originally wanted to serve Evan to drink water, but was snatched by Duke Wilson. He put the water glass on Evan's lips and said softly :"Is this okay?"

Evan blinked his eyes, slowly moved his lips and took a few sips of water. His chapped lips and tongue were finally moisturized by the water. Evan felt like his throat was on fire, and he felt much more comfortable now.

Dr. Hester looked at the two people and felt heavy in his heart. Pastor Bruce, such a gentle and kind person, would never have thought that such evil feelings existed in this world.

"Mr. Pastor." Finally, Dr. Hester couldn't help interjecting, "How do you feel?"

"It's okay." After drinking water, Evan was finally able to speak, but his voice was still hoarse and scary: "It's just that my back hurts."

Dr. Hester breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, the wound on your back will gradually heal. Please eat more light food these few days and stay in bed."

Evan nodded with some difficulty, and finally leaned back on the mattress in a fog.

Duke Wilson pulled the quilt for Evan, tucked his feet again, and then turned to look at Dr. Hester. His eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but with a coldness of alienation.

"When will the pastor's injury heal?" the Duke asked in a low voice.

Dr. Hester was also a little embarrassed.

"My lord duke, to tell you the truth, Mr. Pastor's injury this time is very dangerous. I don't know when it will recover. It still depends on the usual cultivation and recovery."

Dr. Hester felt a little ashamed in his heart. After all, he was a doctor, so he couldn't answer the patient's questions.

Duke Wilson also frowned in dissatisfaction, but thinking of Evan's presence, he still didn't say anything, just nodded a little coldly, and turned around again.

Butler Chris observed the situation and understood the Duke's meaning very well. He hurriedly stepped forward and tugged on Dr. Hester's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Doctor, please come out first, I want to ask you about Mr. Pastor's diet."

Dr. Hester's embarrassment was relieved immediately, and he quickly followed Butler Chris out as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

When only Evan and Duke Wilson were left in the room, the Duke obviously hooked his mouth. Evan was lying on the bed. Although he had regained his sanity, his expression was still in a daze due to the torture of the illness. The Duke's face It was also very blurry in his eyes.

The Duke looked at Evan's pale side face, and wanted to reach out to touch it like he did last night, but suddenly realized something when he reached halfway, and suddenly stopped his hands and feet, with a flash of panic in his eyes.

"My lord duke, what's the matter with you?" Of course Evan could see Duke Wilson's intentions. He originally wanted to pretend that it had never happened, but he was not blind with such a large range of movements. Evan turned his head and wanted to tease him a bit.

Duke Wilson's brain seemed to be hit by something, and Evan's mind was filled with panic when he knew his intentions. He was a little at a loss for a while, but from the outside, his face was just a little stiff, Nothing else is wrong.

Evan didn't urge him, but still looked at the Duke with a very gentle and non-aggressive look, with a slight doubt at the corner of his mouth.

"I... I'm fine." It took a long time for Duke Wilson to find his voice, but his tone was dry.

Seeing Duke Wilson's fragile appearance, Evan didn't pursue it further. This person is still too thin-skinned. If he becomes angry from embarrassment, the loss outweighs the gain.

So he just smiled and said, "That's good, thank you for your care."

Speaking of this, Duke Wilson's heart became more and more complicated. He frowned and looked at Evan with complicated eyes.

"No, I should say this, you saved me." The Duke's tone was solemn: "Pastor Bruce, you saved my life, and my gratitude for your noble deed cannot be expressed in words. If there is anything you need from me, just tell me, I will never shy away from it."

What Duke Wilson said was very official, but the tenderness in his eyes could not deceive anyone, and Evan became happier in his heart.

"Your Excellency, you are too serious. I just did what I think is right." Evan's language was simple and peaceful, without a trace of flashiness, but it was such plain language that caused the Duke's heart to be turbulent.

What a noble personality this is, to be the first to think of saving others at such a critical moment.

"Mr. Pastor." Duke Wilson's tone was a bit stagnant: "You, you make me feel very ashamed." He unconsciously tilted his body in Evan's direction.

This was a subconscious action, but it meant a lot in Evan's heart, and Duke Wilson finally opened his heart to him.

Evan laughed silently, the seeds of evil took root in his heart, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

But Evan's smile on the surface was like a saint, with a halo of compassion: "My lord, please don't say such things again, we are all fine now, this is the best ending."

Duke Wilson looked at Evan, and was speechless for a while. It is good that the two of them are fine, but at that time he almost thought that Evan was going to die, and the feeling of despair and pain still enveloped his heart. Let his heart cannot be calmed down for a long time.

The two sat there looking at each other silently, as if the air in the room was stagnant, but for some reason, the atmosphere between the two was not awkward at all, but filled with a warm atmosphere.

Duke Wilson looked at Evan tenderly, while Evan turned his face to look at the void. The sunlight came in through the curtains and cast a shadow on half of his face. He seemed to be sitting in a place where light and darkness intertwine. The same, there is a mysterious beauty.

After a long time, the atmosphere between the two was broken by the noise outside the door. Evan recognized that they were the Duke's guests, and the Duke also recognized it, but the Duke's face was not so pretty.

He walked over and opened the door with a cold face, looking at the well-dressed men and women outside the door, his tone was very violent: "Don't gentlemen and ladies know the most basic etiquette as a guest?"

The Duke's voice was not high, but the bitter smell made everyone present shut up.

In the end, it was Earl Martin who was more courageous. He smiled and said cautiously: "My lord, are you all right? We are also worried about whether you are injured?"

The Duke looked at Martin, his eyes darkened again, but in the end he didn't get angry, he just pursed his lips and said: "I'm fine, the injured person is someone else, this hunting ends here, someone will send you back tomorrow .”

The Duke's words were very blunt, but these people also understood that after experiencing such a thing, it is strange to be in a good mood, but seeing the Duke's unscathed appearance, the expressions of all the people present were different.

The Duke was impatient to deal with this group of people with ulterior motives, so he just waved his hand, and the butler Chris, who was a bit in a dilemma, immediately came up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your room first, breakfast is ready."

Butler Chris's invitation was undoubtedly a good step, and the people present immediately hurried down the step. The Duke's rudeness made these people look bad.

After everyone receded like a tide, the Duke returned to Evan's room. He closed the door and turned around, only to find that Evan was looking straight at him. Duke Wilson's heart skipped a few beats. .

"What's wrong with you?" Duke Wilson asked with some uncertainty.

Evan seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, smiled awkwardly, and said softly: "I didn't expect that you still have this side."

"This side?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some playfulness: "What do you mean by this side?"

Evan looked at Duke Wilson and blinked, with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "I always thought you were a gentle and elegant person, but I didn't expect that you can be quite scary when you have a straight face."

Hearing these words, Duke Wilson's smile froze instantly.
