The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

"Sir..." Grace tremblingly opened the bandage wrapped around Mr. Welsh's arm, "Your wound is pus..." His face was paler than that of Mr. Welsh who had lost a lot of blood, because of the cold, his eyes He couldn't even secrete tears, but with wet eyes in his eyes, he asked with trembling lips, "Sir, what should I do? How can I help you?"

When the servants rushed into Butler Ward's room, what they saw was a maid in torn nightgown, frightened and speechless, and two men lying in a pool of blood.

It is said that in order to protect the reputation of the maid Grace, Mr. Welsh fought with the housekeeper Ward. Mr. Ward died on the spot, and Mr. Welsh was seriously injured in the arm.

There were three male servants and one female servant who witnessed the incident, and then Mrs. Brown hurried over, and the room was sealed off, so including the Countess and the two surviving persons involved, there were a total of Eight insiders.

Mrs. Brown said that the countess was afraid of the blood, and ordered the three servants to carry the weak Mr. Welsh into a bungalow far away from the castle at night, and she herself and the maid supported Grace, and forced him into the palace. in the same room.

"Mr. Wales said he was injured to protect you, so you will take care of him." Mrs. Brown said to Grace coldly.After she walked out of the room, Grace raised Mr. Wales' injured arm and heard the sound of a lock being locked outside.

Like when he and Sophie and Orisa had typhoid, they were locked up.

Grace rushed to the door and tugged at the handle, and sure enough, the door was locked.

No one to help, no medicine, no bedding and charcoal fire.This was a temporary dwelling built for the Italian stonemasons, and the castle was repaired, and the dwelling fell into disrepair when the Italians returned to their country.After a winter of idleness, the room here has become extremely gloomy and cold, and the cold wind in the late night of early spring came in through the window cracks.

Grace tore her skirt into strips and bandaged the wound under the guidance of Mr. Wales.Due to the massive blood loss, Mr. Welsh was cold and shivering on the hard bed.

Grace slammed on the door and shouted: "I need water! And bedding! I need medicine!"

The door was pushed open immediately, and two of the three male servants who witnessed the incident were outside the door, one of them covered Grace's mouth in horror, and the other said regretfully and helplessly: "Grace, Mrs. Brown It's already been prepared."

Under their restraint, Grace shook her head helplessly, tears streaming down the back of the man's hand.

He grabbed the manservant's wrist, making a gesture to kneel down to him.The servant was also in love with Grace, and he hugged his sweetheart's thin back sadly, as if he wanted to hug her into his arms, "Grace, he killed someone... He killed Mr. Butler! If you don't want to be implicated, Just don't disobey Madam..."

Grace beat his arm in grief and anger, and the footman let go of him, unbearable in pain.

"Grace..." Mr. Wales called weakly.

Grace rushed to the bed immediately, and the door closed quietly behind him again.

Grace took Mr. Welsh's injured arm, the blood was still flowing, and completely soaked the white cloth strips he tore off from his nightgown into red: "Sir, I will yell right now, my voice is very loud, I will put the whole house in the mountain Wake everyone up, call the Sheriff over here, and let people know what they're doing!"

Mr. Welsh's weak eyes showed relief, "Miss Grace, you are really sharp..."

Grace cried bitterly on the edge of the bed, "Mr. Wales, I killed you!"

"No, Miss Grace, it's not your fault. It is my responsibility to protect you. This is the task entrusted to me by adults. It is my honor to do this for you."

"My lord, my lord...why did he..."

Mr. Wales smiled gently, "Miss Grace, don't cry..." and then passed out

During the following day, Mr. Wales fell asleep and woke up.The three male servants and the maid who were involved were all familiar with Grace, and they were persuaded by Grace to secretly give him some water and bread.Grace soaked the bread in water until soft, and fed it to Mr. Wales bit by bit when he became conscious.

But the doctor never came.

"Ms. Brown said... that someone has been sent to ask for it." The maid was only two years older than Grace. She was frightened by this incident, and she had countless questions in her heart. She didn't understand why the person died suddenly, and why she died No one would go to the police, she didn't understand why Grace and Mr. Welsh were locked up, she didn't understand why the doctor couldn't come for a long time... But she didn't dare to ask, so she could only repeat this sentence to Grace, talking cry.

Without a doctor, there is no medicine.On the second night, Mr. Wales developed a high fever and soon fell into a coma.

Grace knelt and prayed in front of the window, which was crucified from the outside, and the moonlight shone in through the gaps in the planks, falling into Grace's desperate eyes.

"Father, please forgive my sins! Forgive me for disrespecting you in the past! If I can get out from here, I will pray every day, make offerings sincerely, and promise to memorize the entire Bible! I promise that every Sunday in the future They all go to church, and the priest never sleeps when he talks, nor laughs at him in his heart... Father, I was wrong! It was my fault alone, please help this good man!"

Mr. Wales uttered a raving in a coma: "Cold...cold...my lord..." The last words he said to Grace before he passed out completely were: "Miss Grace, to be offensive, I once had a daughter , if she is still alive, she will be your age."

Grace rushed to the side of the bed and touched his forehead, which became even hotter, and the wet cotton cloth that had been covering the hot forehead was also hot.

Is it because he is an illegitimate child?Because he pretended to be a girl to survive, so he was born more sinful than ordinary people?Otherwise why punish him like this?Let him witness such helpless death again and again, let him feel his father's love for the first time, and take it away immediately.

Grace tapped on the door gently with a towel in her hand. He didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, for fear of offending anyone. He knocked on the door and cried in a low voice: "Please, give me some more water, he's going to die, give me some more water." Get some water!"

There was no sound outside the door.Grace collapsed to the ground, pressing a wet cloth to her tearful eyes, "Father, please tell me what I should do! Who can save him!"

"My lord! You can't—" There was a panicked cry from outside the door, the voice of the footman.

"Which room?" A deep and calm voice came from a distance, caught in the chaotic footsteps.

Grace slammed her fists on the door with a loud "bang!", and he hissed and shouted: "My lord! We are here!" Help us!

Jesus said, "You people of little faith, why are you so timid?" Then he got up and rebuked the wind and the sea, and they were greatly calmed.

Jesus said, "You people of little faith, why are you so timid?" Then he got up and rebuked the wind and the sea, and they were greatly calmed. —Matthew 8:26

It is about that Jesus and his disciples were in a boat, when a storm suddenly broke out, and the sea water was about to fill the cabin. The disciples were terrified, but Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind and rain, and the sea returned to calm.
