Gavin raised an eyebrow.
Dominic's words had sparked his interest.
"Belvaria... What were you doing in Belvaria?"
"Looking for... the truth..."
"The truth?"
Now Gavin's curiosity was fully piqued.
However, Dominic was so incredibly drunk that his words came out in disjointed, slurred fragments. His tongue was practically numb, which left Gavin burning with impatience.
"What truth? Come on, man, spit it out. Make it clear."
Clutching an empty liquor bottle, Dominic was barely lucid.
He wasn't completely blacked out, though; he could still hold a conversation with Gavin.
The more anxious Gavin got, the longer Dominic's silences stretched.
Gavin pressed him several times before finally giving up.
He figured Dominic was just trying really hard to string a coherent sentence together.
A long time passed.
It wasn't until Gavin had polished off two whole glasses of lemon water that he finally heard Dominic speak, his voice agonizingly slow.
"The truth I'm talking about... is from back when I went on that school trip to Belvaria... and got bitten by a venomous snake in the nature reserve..."
Gavin knew this story well, of course.
It was precisely because Evelyn had supposedly saved Dominic's life back then that he had been so completely devoted to her, falling deeply and stubbornly in love.
"Actually... it's not true..."
Dominic shook his head.
"That wasn't how it happened at all... The person who saved me... wasn't Evelyn..."
"What?"
Gavin's eyes darted up.
"Evelyn said... she sucked the poisoned blood out for me, and that's why I survived... But... Evelyn was never poisoned... She never... she never sucked any venom out of anything..."
Listening to Dominic, Gavin nodded repeatedly.
He had actually been the first one to spot that logical loophole!
But he had realized it far too late.
Before then, he just hadn't thought to question it.
"So... what happened then?"
"And then, on this trip... I met the person who knows what really happened..."
