Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 15: dying request

    Evan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, as long as I can do it, I will definitely serve you."

    Mrs. Sanders was suddenly panting, and Evan hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her back.

    "Ahem... Pastor Bruce, I know you're a good man."

    You are wrong, Evan thought to himself as he fed Mrs. Sanders water.

    "My illness will not work this time. When I die, can you please bury me in the southeast corner of the cemetery?" Mrs. Sanders grabbed with her dry hand Holding Evan's arm, he asked laboriously.

    Evan looked at Mrs. Sanders with some surprise. The southeast corner of Delan Lier's cemetery is very remote, and almost no one will use it as the first choice for their final resting place after death.

    "Why is this?" Evan asked softly: "Don't you want to be buried in the exclusive cemetery of the parish staff and sleep with God?"

    Mrs. Sanders squeezed Evan's wrist, struggling, "Please."

    Evan had no choice but to nod, and said, "But you have to tell me, what's wrong with you?"

    Mrs. Sanders' eyes suddenly flashed a trace of desolation: "Pastor Bruce, there is a certain number of people in this world. I have been called by the Lord, and there is no meaning to survive in this world."

    Evan could not help frowning: "What are you saying, Mr. Chandler and I are looking forward to your recovery."

    Mrs. Sanders smiled bitterly: "The only hope in this world that can make me survive has been shattered, and I have no more excuses to live."

    Evan looked at Mrs. Sanders, and suddenly a guess that made him panic.

    Mrs. Sanders looked out the window and suddenly said, "Pastor Bruce, where are you from? Are you busy with the church these days?"

    Evan restrained his inner restlessness, smiled and said: "I came from the police station, and Sheriff Chandler asked me to help him find out the truth about the death of Mr. Lawrence Jr. ."

    Mrs. Sanders heard this sentence, her face turned pale instantly, she clenched her hands nervously, and her face twitched slightly.

    Evan remained calm, but sighed deeply: "What an excellent young man, it is a pity to die at such a young age, but today's incident has turned a corner. , I didn't expect that Mr. Lawrence had an illegitimate child left behind."

    Mrs. Sanders looked at Evan in disbelief.

    "The Lawrence couple also know, but because the illegitimate child is really indecent, so they didn't say it. Sheriff Chandler found out." Evan tried his best to downplay himself role in this.

    Mrs. Sanders heard this, but her eyes flashed faintly: "Is what you said true? That...that poor child, does there really have a child left? "

    Evan patted Mrs. Sanders on the back of the hand: "Of course it is true, I have seen it with my own eyes, you should know Amy, the maid of the Lawrence family, she is pregnant with John's child , poor little John, finally has a child of his own, but it's a pity that the Lawrences don't seem to take it seriously."

    Evan said in a low tone, but a trace of tenderness flashed in Mrs. Sanders' eyes. She originally thought that she was a strong-willed lady. If she wanted to live, she would not give up life easily.

    "Thank you very much, Pastor Bruce, and thank you for coming to see me." Mrs. Sanders leaned back on the pillow on the bed, and her already cold eyes suddenly became warmer.

    Evan nodded slightly, glanced at the clock on the wall again, and said warmly: "It's almost time for lunch, I'll go first, you need to rest more."

    Mrs. Sanders nodded slightly, looking at Evan with a little more gratitude.

    Evan left Mrs. Sanders' small room and saw Mr. Chandler standing in the doorway with a piece of beef in his hand.

    "Pastor Bruce." His expression was a little sad: "What did she say to you?"

    Evan patted Mr. Chandler on the shoulder gently, and said warmly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sanders will survive."

    Mr. Chandler looked at Evan with some surprise, Evan smiled without saying a word, nodded, turned and left.

    Evan went out of Mrs. Sanders' house and suddenly remembered to buy some candles for the church. He has been up late to sort out the church account books these nights. The consumption of candles is too amazing. And the damage to the church's finances was worse than thought.

    Evan doesn't know much about the town of Delan Reale, so I asked a few people to know where the grocery store is, but the road to the town is not very clear, Evan walks around , got lost.

      There was even an almost half-naked woman sitting at the door of a store. She was wearing a skirt with a big neckline and half of her **** were exposed. At this time, she was leaning against the door lazily, watching Evan giggling.

    Evan frowned. According to his more than 20 years of experience in the last life, he came to the red light district of Derain.

    Evan was immediately a little embarrassed, turned around and left. Although he had been to this kind of place in his previous life, he is still wearing the skin of a priest after all. If he remembered correctly, The reason why this character is cannon fodder in the end is because he is lustful and despicable, and he must not have anything to do with this kind of place now.

    Evan hurried out, but he might as well just reach the entrance of the alley, when he suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him, and Evan immediately hid in the shadow of the entrance with a guilty conscience.

    He looked at the two people in the alley, one was tall and big, leaning against the wall, looking at the other, and the other was also covered In the shadows, only a delicate jaw is exposed.

    Evan frowned, he always felt that the big man looked familiar.

    "Your Excellency, what do you think?" said the big man in a low voice.

    Evan was shocked, it turned out to be Duke Wilson?

    Another man slowly walked out of the shadows, his face was indifferent, his expression gloomy, it was Duke Wilson.

    "What do I think? James, I remember we negotiated the price before." Duke Wilson's voice was cold.

    Big James sneered: "We negotiated a price, but this price doesn't include going to jail!"

    Evan finally remembered where he had seen this big man. It was the gypsy who was mistakenly arrested by the Welsh sheriff. It turned out that Duke Wilson was really related to this gypsy.

    "I personally got you out of prison, doesn't that show my sincerity?" The Duke's tone was still calm.

    James gave a wicked smile, and suddenly leaned forward, reaching out to touch the Duke's profile, but the Duke avoided him with disgust.

    "What do you want to do!" the Duke snapped.

    James smiled slyly: "Your Majesty, you are more beautiful than all the women I have ever seen, don't you know what I mean? You want to get me If you are silent, you should pay me a reward that satisfies me.”

    Duke Wilson squinted his eyes instantly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes. Even when Evan stood at the entrance of the alley, he could feel the coldness of the Duke.

    But James didn't feel the slightest, and still made a disgusting joke: "My lord, I am strong and strong, and I do a good job, you will be satisfied."

      Looking at the place where Evan was standing, he said coldly, "Come out!"

    Evan's expression trembled slightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He was arrested on the spot. Today is too careless.

    Evan slowly walked out of the shadows, and the duke's expression changed from savage to shock. He looked at Evan almost incredulously, and the whole person could hardly speak words come.

    "Lord Duke." Evan said a little embarrassedly.

    "What are you doing here!" The Duke snorted, almost angrily.

    Evan looked at Duke Wilson with his mouth half-open, but his heart was as bitter as Huanglian, so he collided with the Duke's privacy, he was really unlucky.

    "I... lost my way..." Evan said weakly, and he didn't believe it himself.

    Looking at Evan's innocent and clear blue eyes, the Duke only felt a little dazzling, he bit his lower lip, and the resentment in his heart could not stop overflowing.

    "Let's go! Get me out of here!" Facing Evan's face, the Duke didn't say any bad words, he just waved his hand a little irritably, turned around and didn't look at it Evan.

    Evan was also embarrassed. Hearing this, he quickly turned and left.

    Wilson turned around and looked at Evan's hurried back, and for some reason there was a hint of embarrassment in his heart, how could this man see his worst side.

    Duke Wilson hated James even more in his heart, no one in this world could threaten him, not to mention he dared to think of him so boldly, Duke Wilson's eyes showed a trace of cruelty, A vicious smile crept up the corner of his mouth, and he strode out of the alley, the corner of his coat rolled up a small ripple at his feet, causing a slight breeze.

    Evan fled to the main street almost embarrassed. He looked at the people coming and going around him, only to feel that his heartbeat was so strong that it made his heart palpitate.

    He looked up at the store opposite, it was the grocery store he had been looking for for a long time, but at this time Evan had no intention of buying candles, he raised his foot and wanted to leave, but was greeted The shopkeeper who came out stopped him.

     "Pastor Bruce, the candle you ordered last time is ready. When do I want to send it to you, but I don't want to meet you here, are you here to pick up the candle?" His face flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly and enthusiastically dragged Evan into the store.

    Evan followed the owner in a daze, but his heart was a mess.
