Selena felt a sudden chill, and a strong metallic taste rose to her throat.

She forced down the nausea and held onto Gavin for support.

Gavin steadied her, but then he blinked in confusion, feeling dizzy himself.

He looked ahead, and in the next moment, he threw up.

Gavin turned back toward the table and saw the culprit—there was a dish with peanut sauce, and in his distracted state, he had eaten it.

He let out a frustrated chuckle.

What was wrong with him today?
