“Yes, I actually assumed that you knew. Didn't you investigate it before you adopted me? Still, you can't blame me. You have never asked me about it anyway." Maria's tone turned cold. It was obvious that Bill was trying to blame her. But as she said, it wasn't her fault.

“But what is it? What's your condition?"

Julie was the only one among the entire Jenkins family who genuinely showed some sympathy.

Maria then looked at Julie as if she was gazing straight to her soul.

“It's called narcolepsy. It is a psychological illness that has various causes. In my case, I guess that it was brought by a trauma I experienced during early childhood."

Hearing the name of the disease, the three members of the Jenkins family were all quite confused.

Apparently, they were not knowledgeable in terms of medical terms, and they had never heard of this disease.

Bill then breathed a sigh of relief. "Narcolepsy? I'm not sure what it is, but it is not deadly or something, right? As long as it's not an infectious disease or an inherited one, I think it's going to be alright.”

Somehow, his attitude toward Maria became a little softer.

“So, what are its symptoms? What happens to you when you have an attack?" Julie asked out if curiosity.

Maria let out a bitter smile and said, "The primary symptom is that I feel sleepy. It may happen at any place and at any time. The main problem is that excessive sleep will affect my health. In severe cases, it can even lead to death. Also, because of my condition, Jessica advised that I shouldn't plan to conceive in the next three years. Otherwise, the narcolepsy may cause harm to both me and the baby."

“What? You can't have a baby in three years because of your illness?" Bill and Vivian cried out at the same time.

But Vivian was more amused than disappointed. She chuckled to herself and thought that Maria was really useless. She was only adopted so she could marry Anthony and produce children for the Wilson family, but now, she couldn't even have a baby. Vivian just shook her head, delighted at Maria's awkward situation.

On the other hand, Bill looked pretty anxious. If Maria couldn't get pregnant soon and give birth to the Wilson family's heir, it was very likely that this marriage would have to be broken off.

Now that the Wilson family Learned about Maria's condition, they might cut off the engagement between her and Anthony. Worse, they might request Vivian to be the one to marry Anthony. If that happened, all of Bill's efforts would be in vain.

He then took a look at his daughter, who seemed not to be getting the bigger picture. But when Vivian saw the horrible expression on her father's face, she suddenly came to her senses. Her face also turned pale with fear.

She blurted out, "No! No! That can't be! That narcolepsy thing isn't a big deal. You have to give birth to a baby for Anthony!

The sooner, the better!"

At this time, the pre-game interview of the Yeez Team was being broadcasted in different channels on the TV.

Vivian asked her whole family to watch with her because Cheryl would also participate in the interview as a new member of the team.
