After leaving the hospital, Alex drove Maeve to a high-class privite restaurant. Worried she would feel uncomfortable, Alex chose an elegant seat by the window on the third floor. It was covered by a hollow room divider which gave a hint of privacy. The place was only open three days a week and had to be booked in advance, there were not many customers.

The owner is the great-grandson of a chef who served the royal palace and earned his second Michelin star at 28 Alex handed the menu to Maeve and said with a warm smile, "You have to try their bone marrow, it's out of this world!"

The waiter nodded with a smile. "Yes, ma'am. Our restaurant is famous for its use of spices. However, some food may be too strong for people with certain conditions. For example, pregnant ladies. Some of our ingredients can pose a threat to fetal development. Most of their customers were rich or noble, so they had to be careful with what they served.
