Chapter 160

Damion had not said a word until now, but Evarius's last line hit him like a boulder to the head.

"What?!"

"How do you know?"

"Oh my god!"

The room is full of exclamations and questions of all sorts and all eyes are now turned toward Damion.

"Did you know?" Brent asks him.

"No, I didn't," are the first words Damion says since he had screamed Lilia's name in the jungle.

"How much chance is there that it's true?" Esther says.

Damion turns his mind back to the times Lilia and he had had spontaneous sex in the recent past without protection.

"I don't know how or when," he says, "but it's certainly possible..."

"Wait a minute," Sabina says, turning to Evarius, "How do you know?"

"Yeah,' prompts Esther.

"I heard them," Evarius explains, "I did not register it at the time because I was too focused on saving everyone's life. But I was the first one to reach there, and while I was roaming around the edge of the clearing to find the best way to attack, I caught snippets of their conversations.
