"Did they say that?"
Josephine was so focused on taking pictures that she didn't realize what the nurses talked about. However, she was curious.
"Why are you happy about them misunderstanding our relationship?"
Ethan smiled faintly. "That's a nod of approval to me. I'm delighted."
Josephine took a deep breath. Could he stop flattering her?
Why was an elegant and refined man like him so good at flattering others?
She couldn't take it anymore.
Just as they walked out of the hospital, Josephine spotted a fast-food restaurant across the street. She said eagerly, "Let's eat there!"
Ethan couldn't help but frown when he saw that.
"Are you sure the food is edible?"
"What are you talking about? The restaurant is right outside a hospital. Its hygiene and nutrition ratings will surely be better than most places. Why would you think it's inedible?"
Ethan found it funny. "Do you have proof to back up what you just said?"
Josephine put on a serious look and said, "This is common sense."
"This isn't common sense. To be precise, your flawed hypothesis led to a wrong conclusion. In reality, the hygiene of a restaurant near the hospital is the same as anywhere else.
"Furthermore, with the high customer traffic, they won't have the time and energy to maintain its cleanliness, leading to worse hygiene."
"Are you being serious?" Josephine shook her head. "I don't believe you. Let's have a look for ourselves."
Since she insisted, there was nothing he could do but play along.
However, it was already almost 10:00 pm. Even if he wanted to treat her to a romantic dinner, most restaurants would be closed. He had no other choice.
As expected, even at this hour, two-thirds of the restaurant was still occupied. When they both entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention.
