Chapter 289: Bonus


    "I guess she isn''t a patient" One of the doctors that were observing Ethan and Leannamented and he received grunts of agreement.


    "Tsk tsk, where do you think he met her? Do you think she would have friends or siblings he could introduce me too?" one of the doctors said and his friends snorted.


    "You think if she had friends they would date you? Look at Dr. ckwell, do you have the confidence?" one of his friends said bluntly. In short, he was insinuating he was not good looking enough to be with someone like her.


    "After seeing such an attractive person, I now feel refreshed. Does anyone want to join me for dinner?" one of the doctors said, and the others nodded in agreement as they followed him.


    Meanwhile, Ethan was looking at Leanna with a foolish smile on his face while still in disbelief that she was really there.


    "I brought you dinner," Leanna said and lifted the basket that she had been holding.


    "Mmh, let''s go to the cafeteria, we can eat there," Ethan said and held her hand to lead her there. Leanna smiled when she noticed his hand was slightly damp. It was nice to know she wasn''t the only nervous one.


    When they got to the cafeteria, Ethan quickly led her to a table that was next to the window. The moment the two of them walked in, they had drawn people''s gazes to them. It did not help that Leanna was taller than most people in there now that she was wearing heels, so the two of them really stood out.


    "Don''t mind them, are you cold?" Ethan asked as he pulled the chair for her. Leanna shook her head and watched him go sit on the chair that was opposite her.


    "Were you going to give me your coat if I was?" Leanna asked curiously as she put the basket she brought on the table and took out the containers that were filled with food she had prepared.


    After emptying the basket, she put it on the chair next to her and handed him a small long box that had a fork and knife.


    Ethan just sat and watched her open the containers one by one before she leaned forward and prompted him to eat.


    "Go on and eat," Leanna said when she saw that he was just staring at the food.


    "It all looks so good I don''t know where to start," Ethan said as he looked up at her.


    "Start with this" Leanna said as she pointed to a meat dish. Ethan stabbed a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth, and his eyes widened almost immediately.


    "How is it?" Leanna asked curiously. She was worried that it wouldn''t be to his taste.


    "How could it be so good? It''s really delicious, " Ethan said as he tasted the stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms that were in another container. Leanna, on the other hand, was just happy he was enjoying his food.


    The food seemed to stimte his appetite rather than satisfy it. Other people who saw how he was eating so deliciously felt their mouths water.


    "So she is beautiful and she can cook such good food?" one of the doctors that had seen the two of them before said.


    "You definitely won''t have a chance with her friends or sisters," another one said as if to remind the doctor that had asked about rtives to give up hope.


    "I think I should do what Dr. ckwell does and have strict working hours, how will we date if we are at the hospital three days at a time? I can''t even have a pet, much less a girlfriend" one of the doctors said as he put the nd food in his mouth.


    "If you can afford to do that and keep your luxury condo, go ahead," someone said, and they all sighed in unison.


    While that group of doctorsmented about being single, Ethan was taking big bites of his food to the point that Leanna felt satisfied just watching him eat.


    "Eat slowly," Leanna said as she stood up from her seat. Ethan blinked in surprise, but before he could swallow his food and say anything, Leanna had gone to one of the serving counters and asked for a cup.


    As she was walking back with it the doctors in the cafeteria looked at her in curiosity. They had honestly never seen Ethan date before and the ones that didn''t know his background couldn''t help but think his tastes were far too polished, that''s why he had been single for such a long time.


    "What is it?" Leanna asked as she sat back down and Ethan shook his head as he swallowed his food.


    "Here, eat slowly, don''t choke on your food," Leanna said as she poured him a ss of orange juice that she had squeezed herself and ced it in front of him.


    "Thank you, this is really good, and youing- I don''t know what to say," Ethan said feeling quite flustered.


    "It''s okay, seeing you enjoy the food makes me want to make you more," Leanna said as she tried maintaining a straight face but her red cheeks gave away her emotions. Even when she did these things for her ex, he never felt the need to thank her as if it was something that she was expected to do so this was new to her.


    "Were you always like this? If you keep doing this, you''ll spoil me" Ethan said as he took a sip of the juice he was given.


    Leanna avoided his amber coloured eyes as she felt really shy suddenly and looked elsewhere only to be met by other people who were looking at her curiously so she turned her head to look outside the ss window.


    "Are you feeling shy Leanna?" Ethan asked his expression half curious and half-amused.


    "Ahem, why aren''t you eating? Are you full already?" Leanna asked as she pursed her lips together.


    "Have you eaten? Here have a taste" Ethan said as he brought some food to her lips. Contrary to his expectations, Leanna actually opened her mouth and ate the food.


    Ethan blinked twice before he chuckled. He learned that Leanna did not care about being affectionate in public; it was like it was just the two of them in the cafeteria, which was honestly a bonus.
