Although Maria often fell asleep abruptly due to her narcolepsy, she had never considered herself as a patient.

Anthony, on the other hand, was determined to give her special treatment. After all, he had heard from Jessica that leaving a narcolepsy patient alone when they were about to fall asleep could be very dangerous.

“I don't need anyone to accompany me when I sleep," Maria said stubbornly.

She regretted those words as soon as they Left her lips, because she was met with a stony expression from Anthony.

His eyes were cold and icy, just like Darren's.

“Hal Are you sure about that?"

Anthony sneered. His gentleness seemed to vanish in an instant.

“How many times have you fallen asleep on the floor and knocked your head over the years?"

Maria couldn't argue.

It was true that the sudden attacks of narcolepsy often put her safety at risk.

In fact, it was a miracle that she was still alive.

“I promise that with me by your side, you'll never get hurt." Anthony's tone was stern and annoyed, but Maria couldn't ignore the tenderness of his words.

"Go to sleep now," Anthony urged her again.

The next day, Maria returned to the Jenkins family's house.

Last night, she had stayed at Anthony's place instead of coming home. However, the Jenkins family didn't seem to care about what was going on between her and Anthony at all.

When Maria entered the house, she heard Vivian's joyful laughter, and saw Bill busily moving around.

Patricia was also here today.

The three of them didn't so much as glance at Maria when she walked in, as if she didn't exist to them at all.

Julie was the only one to greet Maria when she came out of the study later and explained to her what was going on.
