After briefly asking Sal about Josie's condition, Sal said it was just a simple fever. The doctor bled Miss Josie and applied ice, and the high fever subsided.
It's just that Miss Qiao Qian is still very weak now, so she went to bed early after coming back.
Xu Tong nodded and did not comment on the so-called bloodletting therapy. He took a bath and planned to have a good rest after lunch and then go to church in the evening.
As a result, just after taking a shower, news came out in the team channel.
It was the news from Antu, saying that tonight's party was cancelled, Andre was still awake, and he needed to go to the hospital with Archbishop Evelin.
Mrs. Anman has found clues to the third invitation letter and has already invited Da Mu to look for it. If nothing else happens, she will find it tonight...
Sure enough, it is good to have a team, and the efficiency is much faster than working alone.
Since there was no need for a party, Xu Tong simply ate and drank enough to get back into bed and have a good sleep.
As soon as I fell asleep, I heard a noise outside the door.
Xu Tong didn't open his eyelids, but he knew it was Qiao Qian just by hearing the voice.
Oh, and the dog.
Sure enough, the quilt was lifted, and a cold hand was placed on Xu Tong's chest. After a while, a slight snoring could be heard in his arms.
In fact, Xu Tong slept particularly soundly that night and woke up twice.
Once, I noticed someone outside the door, it was Charles, but the old housekeeper seemed to know that he was sleeping and did not disturb him.
Another time, the maid was cleaning. When she walked outside the door, she accidentally fell and went downstairs cursing.
It was not until late at night that Xu Tong opened his eyelids.
When he looked, he saw Qiao Qie curled up in his arms, her eyelids blinking as if she had already woken up.
Sensing Xu Tong's gaze, Qiao Qian raised her head, her face suddenly turned red, and she didn't look sick at all.
"It's more comfortable to sleep in your arms."
"Then why don't you go back to sleep??"
"Because I can't sleep."
It was true that they couldn't fall asleep. The two of them had slept all day long, and now they were very energetic.
"Do you still want to listen to the story??" Xu Tong asked after a moment of silence.
“Sun Wukong and the Seven Fairies??
"No, let's use something else this time..."
Early in the morning, Mrs. Morgan looked at Josie in surprise, put away her makeup, and sat in the dining room to have breakfast.
In my impression, Josie rarely got up so early. She seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and Josie's appetite was also very good. She didn't look like a patient who had just been sick at all.
However, thinking of the recent private murmurs among the maids at home, Mrs. Morgan felt that she still needed to remind her daughter.
Sitting next to Josie, Mrs. Morgan organized her thoughts and coughed twice: "Josie, I went to see you last night, but you didn't sleep in your room?"
"Um!"
Josie put down the spoon in her hand, looked at Mrs. Moses, then nodded and said, "Yes, I had a nightmare, so I slept in Kevin's room, and he told me stories."
Mrs. Morgan was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Josie to respond so simply. But seeing Josie's pure and bright eyes, Mrs. Morgan couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking it.
So he asked tentatively: "Is it just about telling stories?"
"Yes, every time I lie in his arms and listen to the thumping heartbeat in his chest, I sleep very comfortably and feel very safe. Kevin never wakes me up, even if I put his arm
I’m all numb.”
Josie answered innocently, her pure and innocent gaze made Mrs. Morgan's face feel a little hot for a moment, and she even felt ashamed.
How could I bring such dirty thoughts into two pure children?
Um……
As if to hide her inner guilt, Mrs. Morgan picked up the spoon and took a sip of creamy mushroom soup.
"So what story would Kevin tell you?"
The fragrant milk soup is mixed with the aroma of oats and mushrooms. It has a thick and delicate texture. It is the best breakfast for beauty. While she was holding a mouthful of soup in her mouth, she heard Qiao Xi thoughtfully say:
"He told a new story last night, called... gourd... gourd..."
Qiao Xi didn't remember the name of the story, so she simply said: "Oh, it's a story about seven men and a married woman, and in the end, the woman's husband was killed."
"puff!!"
In the next two days, Amantes seemed to have regained his composure.
Master Morgan started to be busy again.
I don’t know if it’s because of the blessing of Bishop Kevin, an angel, that several families in Amantes have started selling off their properties like crazy.
There are many industries among them that Mr. Morgan wants to get involved in, but has always been excluded from.
But now they are all packaged and sold.
It seems like the people from these families want to take action as soon as possible and leave here.
Mrs. Morgan's tea party circle has completely changed in just two days. Many of the original ladies have disappeared without a trace. Even the small club where the tea party was originally held had to be transferred.
There are many reasons for this, but only a few people know what is going on.
In the final analysis, it was not because Amantes' underground industry was destroyed.
In just two days, all local gangs were cleared by the police station, and several officials who were implicated were arrested and imprisoned immediately.
None of the families involved in the case were spared and were cleared out of Amantes.
The only option is to sell off the property as soon as possible, take the money and run away.
In the final analysis, it was still because of the anger of the church, which believed that the death of Archbishop Aletea was related to the cults that these idiots worshiped.
Not mentioning these issues, Mr. Morgan really made a big mistake this time.
In one fell swoop, he bought two factories and a shipyard, doubling his net worth, and even repurchased a luxurious manor in the best-located place in Amantes.
I have been busy these days buying new furniture for my home and plan to move in before winter.
And for all of this, Mr. Morgan always attributed it to the wealth that Kevin, the angel, brought to him.
Xu Tong didn't know whether it was Xu Tong who brought him wealth.
Because I do have wealth luck, and the wealth luck and Mr. Morgan's aura complement each other, so it is difficult to say clearly whether I have brought wealth luck to Mr. Morgan, or whether Mr. Morgan's own wealth luck has been shared with me.
It's really hard to explain luck clearly.
Xu Tong felt more and more that he really needed to read all the books Master mentioned.
In the afternoon, Xu Tong arrived at the hospital in a carriage.
After all, as an archbishop, Andrei, as an honorary bishop, always has to visit.
Josie also came over and brought many gifts to Andre.
Perhaps because of Andre's special status, the entire hospital was very nervous. There were many more security personnel than usual, including people from the Inquisition.
"Miss Qiao Qian, long time no see!"
Evelin stood outside the hospital door, seemingly waiting here after getting the news.
When she saw Josie stepping out of the car, Evelin had a kind and bright smile on her face. Coupled with the bright bishop's robe, she looked like a kind and kind Santa Claus in the sunshine.
"May the Lord God be with you."
Josie rolled up her skirt and bowed to the archbishop in front of her.
Evelin nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xu Tong.
"May the Lord God be with you."
This time it was Xu Tong's turn to take the initiative to say hello. After all, he now has a specific position. Even if he is an honorary bishop, he is still under the authority of the Pope and the Archbishop.
"My child, you are too polite." Evelin looked at Xu Tong as if she were seeing her own grandson, and affectionately took Xu Tong's hand and walked forward.
The church already knows what happened last time.
The appearance of the miracle made those who originally had doubts about Xu Tong shut their mouths.
After all, the power of faith belongs to the God Lord. If you can control the power of faith, you are undoubtedly the spokesperson of the God Lord.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pope was old and his identity was too sensitive, he would have come to Amantes in person to take him back to the Vatican.
"The Pope's envoy is coming soon. If nothing happens, you will go to the Vatican with the envoy this winter to receive the Pope's baptism."
"ah!!"
After Evelin finished speaking, Qiao Xi, who was following Xu Tong, was suddenly stunned.
Evelin turned back and glanced at Qiao Qian. Seeing Qiao Qian staring at Xu Tong, she couldn't help but said with a little regret, "This is inevitable."
Xu Tong also noticed Qiao Xi’s gaze, stretched out his hand to hold her restless little hand, and said to Evelin: “But I should have the right to refuse.”
As he spoke, he specifically raised Josie's little hand and waved it in front of Evelin's face.
This move is simply a blasphemy against the church.
Clergy are not allowed to touch women. This is an iron law of the church.
But Evelin seemed not to notice, ignoring Xu Tong's little move and said: "I don't know this, but the church has indeed not shown a miracle for a long, long time."
In the past, the church might have been able to do some small tricks to fake miracles, such as having an archbishop play the role of an angel and use the power of the Holy Light to perform miracles in front of the world.
But how can the power of mortals be compared with that of real gods?
Even if it happens once in a while, once it is discovered by other churches or even exposed, it will cause huge damage to the reputation of the church.
Especially as the empire grows stronger, the current king of the empire has begun to tighten the purse strings of the church and even secretly supports other sects.
Therefore, in recent years, the church has no longer dared to engage in these small actions at will.
In one sentence, the influence of the church is declining, which can be seen from the number of abortion doctors.
Therefore, a living and walking miracle is exactly what the church needs most.
Evelin did not answer Xu Tong directly, but her words also hinted that he had the capital to negotiate terms with the church.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the ward, strictly speaking, in front of the corridor of the ward, because the church had taken over this floor, and both the nurses and doctors were only serving Andre.
Evelin signaled Xu Tong to go in alone, while he and Qiao Xi waited for him outside.
Xu Tong nodded and walked into the corridor.
Seeing his figure entering the ward, Evelin turned around with a smile and looked at Josie again.
"Then, let's talk too!"
Evelin took out a bunch of silver crosses from her sleeves, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
