Downton Abbey for your happiness

Chapter 33 Break the Calm

In February, Matthew's leg was almost healed, and he and Mary officially started planning the wedding. Everyone was happy to see the couple getting married, and everyone in Downton Abbey was beaming.On John's side, cousin Wade returned to the United States, the Duke also returned to France, and Mrs. Winston was dragged away by her husband no matter how reluctant she was. She usually listened to her husband in major matters.In the group, only Joyce stayed in Downton as a guest in the name of sponsoring candy. Both the earl and the lady could see that the other party was interested in their second daughter, and they felt sorry for each other. It seemed that they had to find a nurse to take care of them.This time, even if she picks on the old lady, she has to admit that Joyce is a young man with a good family background and good looks.So everyone has seen this scene: the second lady Edith always helps Mary prepare this and that with a happy smile, and the two don't often fight each other.

Mary's wedding attracted crowds from all of Downton Town. The scene was spectacular, and John also came to attend. On the way back from the church, the Earl told him that maybe they would become relatives soon.

After the wedding, Mary and Matthew went to the south of France for their honeymoon, and the village returned to calm. After his aunt left, John saw that Joyce and Edith were doing well, so he kept working as a shopkeeper. One day, he heard that Don There was going to be a movie screening in the town, and John, who was bored, naturally couldn't miss this opportunity, so he first found Charlotte and asked her to bring some baby clothes to Siebel, but to prevent Branson from thinking too much and saying it was hers. I feel better.Because Branson had just arrived in Downton before he went to the United States, the two did not have much friendship. Instead, Charlotte had been living in the Old Manor and had a good relationship with Mary and Siebel.What John wanted was to send Charlotte away so that he could go on a date with Thomas. Charlotte said angrily, "I was taking care of Mary some time ago, and I forgot about Siebel! Fortunately, they haven't returned yet." Ireland." So she put together a bunch of things based on John, and asked Fellowes to drive her to Downton Abbey.

When Fellowes came back, John took Thomas to the town, and it was already evening.The screening venue was very lively and full of people. Most of them were servants, farmers, women, and some men who went to work to relax after a busy day. A man in a coffee-colored overcoat made a crude joke.Thomas felt that he didn't fit his status, but John felt that it was nothing. Instead, he felt like going to a modern movie theater. How boring it is to watch a movie like a nobleman.It's a joke with a twist, it's not worth mentioning, if John wants to tell it, maybe there will be an award for him!

But soon John did regret going to the movies at this time.

Because while he was chatting with Thomas, a few more people came in from the door, it was Alfred, James and Ivy.A few people were supposed to say hello, but for some reason, Ivy chatted endlessly beside Thomas.The more John looked, the more awkward he became, why is this woman's movements so awkward!The attitude is so ambiguous!She even put on rouge!Still want to lean this way!Finally couldn't take it anymore, John interrupted the conversation: "Miss Ivy, do you need me to give you a seat?" The other party left in a hurry.

John felt that he must not have read the almanac when he went out today, so why did such a rotten peach blossom suddenly appear...

Seeing John's complexion, Thomas quietly leaned over and said, "It's just a naive little girl, who is not as attractive as you. Besides, there are so many people chasing you, so I didn't say anything."

Now Thomas has gradually been able to grasp John's weakness. Sure enough, after John heard this, he reflected that he really was like this. Isn't he also only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing people to light lamps?

"Sorry……"

"No need to apologize." Thomas quietly held John's hand where the chair blocked him, and the jealousy was so inexplicably resolved by him.

When Fellows came to pick them up, he also wanted to take Charlotte back.When they came to Downton Abbey, they found that Charlotte was standing under a big tree with Siebel holding his forehead.John quickly got out of the car and walked over to ask, "What's the matter, Charlotte? Why are you standing here?"

"Siber asked me to accompany her out for a walk. At this time, she said that she had a headache and couldn't breathe, and her ankles were a little uncomfortable. I couldn't walk, so I supported her to rest for a while. We must have walked too much. It's far away." Charlotte said with some self-blame.

John visually checked the distance between where they were standing and the mansion, and it wasn't very far away, so there was only one explanation, Siebel still suffered from eclampsia according to the plot, and now the early stage condition has been revealed, but the people around her People think it is a normal phenomenon of pregnancy hardship.

"Sieber, have you ever had this kind of headache and breathless phenomenon before?" John raised the other person's head, trying to keep her breathing smoothly, and then asked.

"Are you there?" Siebel didn't answer John at first, but asked a strange question, and after seeing the other party clearly, he said, "I'm sorry, it's you, Mr. Spencer, I scared you like this Bar."

"Leave me alone, Siber, has this happened to you before?" John asked again.

"No, it started last month. I can't sleep well. My mother said it's because the child is a month old. I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while."

John frowned tightly, and Thomas felt that things were not that simple, so he asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

John said, "Thomas, you go get Tom over here."

Although John didn't answer his question, Thomas vaguely sensed something, and hurried to the mansion.After a while he ran back with Tom, Earl and Carson.

"What's wrong? Siber, are you okay?" Tom hugged Siber nervously and asked in a low voice.

John immediately cut off the conversation: "Stop talking, she's not feeling well, you can take her back to the room first."

After Siber was settled, John whispered a few words to Anna, and Anna turned and entered the room, but came out soon after, and she nodded.Except for John, the others stood in the corridor outside the room in a daze. Everyone felt a shadow over their hearts, and they always felt that something bad was waiting ahead.

"What's the matter with her?" asked Tom, grasping John anxiously.

"Well... how should I put it, I hope I'm wrong in my judgment, but I think I'll tell you what I know." John said solemnly, "I used to have a friend in the United States, and her wife She died after giving birth, her family didn't pay attention during her pregnancy, and the doctor didn't find out that she had eclampsia until she gave birth..."

"You mean Sieber...!" Tom understood John's meaning, and couldn't calm down anymore, waving his hands restlessly to interrupt the other party's words.

"Yes, when I saw Miss Siebel, Charlotte said she had a headache and was out of breath, thinking it was caused by walking a long way, but I saw they didn't walk very far, At least not at a distance that would make a normal pregnant woman uncomfortable, and I asked her if this had happened to her before..."

"But Mom said it was going to be hard as the baby got older, and so did the doctor!" Tom interrupted the conversation hysterically again.

The earl became dissatisfied, and with a rare loss of manner, he called to Tom: "For God's sake, let Mr. Spencer finish!"

John waved his hand and continued: "It's okay, I can understand Tom's mood. Miss Sieber seemed to be in a state of confusion at the time, and she said something, and it took a while to realize that it was me. This Thomas can testify."

"Yes, sir, I heard that too." Thomas nodded worriedly.

John said this on purpose, so that the earl could realize that the problem was real and serious. "Just now I showed Anna Miss Sieber's ankle, which was very obviously swollen. My friend's wife also suffered from headaches, breathlessness, thick hands, ankles, and intermittent deliriousness, but the specifics are It’s not that we have to let a professional doctor diagnose it, I think there’s no harm in just taking a look.”

This time, what John said was swearing, and the others believed it. Carson was shocked on the spot. Tom was so anxious that he went crazy. Dr. Clarkson, come here! Carson, send someone to the hospital quickly. Anna, call Madam."

"John, you said that Sieber...will she be okay?" After getting anxious, Tom asked in a fearful tone, but the look in his eyes showed that he wanted to get affirmation.

"Tom, I don't want to lie to you, so I really can't guarantee it, but on the bright side, maybe it's not the illness I mentioned, even if it was, we had an early warning, so Miss Sieber will be saved?"

Although John tried his best to comfort a few people, the effect was not obvious. The atmosphere of depression and panic still surrounded them. The countess and second lady who rushed over also hugged their heads to comfort each other. There was only so much they could do.
