"Add more spice in it." Jay reminded her on purpose.
Rose stared blankly at him. In just two days, this man had eaten an extra meal, consumed alcohol, and was now asking for added spice. He was completely breaking his conventional diet habits. Was he only going to stop after he triggered his digestive disorders?
Rose did not retort, though she deliberately bought him chicken soup when she went out to buy his meal.
Jay stared at the bland chicken soup before examining Rose with an obscure and unfathomable gaze.
"You can’t be so poor that you can only afford chicken soup, right?" Jay mocked her.
Rose explained in a hurry. "There are too many patients. There was only chicken soup left for breakfast today. Just try and put up with it."
This hospital was very near to Grand Asia Hospital, hence most patients nearby would choose Grand Asia Hospital that was equipped with better and more extensive infrastructure. For that reason, business in this hospital had been immensely sluggish. Needless t o say, the number of inpatients was sparse. There was simply no way to sell out the meals that the hospital provided every day.
Jay was a businessman, hence he knew Grand Asia's
rival hospitals like the back of his hand.
Rose was lying.
As for the reason why Rose lied, Jay was both curious and terrified to know.
Surprisingly, Jay did not retort but simply took the bowl and spoon before drinking the chicken soup elegantly.
Worried that he would have an aversion to her if she stayed here for too long, Rose found an excuse to dismiss herself. "Sir Ares, now that your fever has gone down and you're feeling much better, I'm sure you can take care of yourself now, right? Can I leave now?”
While drinking the chicken soup, Jay paused a while and nodded. He replied in a low and muffled voice, "Mm."
Rose opened the door and left.
