“Work? Is that all you think about? You're gonna die at this rate!"

For the first time, Anthony glared at Maria and scolded her, while the latter was too guilty to say anything.

“Do you even remember the last time you slept?" Anthony asked with a serious expression.

Not really knowing the answer, Maria shook her head slowly.

“It was yesterday noon!"

At this moment, Anthony heaved a heavy sigh, having a strong impulse to force her to sleep.

Maria had an existing illness that could not be cured to begin with. Just because Anthony hadn't paid close attention to her for several hours, she took the chance to abuse her body and stay up all night to work.

Of course, it was her fault that she was being reprimanded right now.

"Wait. I... I didn't sleep the whole night?" Maria was also stunned. She couldn't see the outside world from the study, so she lost the concept of time.

Nonetheless, she couldn't believe that she had stayed up all night. Hearing this, Anthony stopped talking, and the look on his face became even colder. Maria clearly got the message that Anthony wasn't amused by her answer.

Hence, she could only Lower her head, feeling a little guilty. Yesterday, Anthony went back to the Wilson family's house to deal with something. So, Maria was left alone in the villa for the remainder of the evening.

She was only left alone for one night, but she wasn't even able to take care of herself. Of course, Anthony was very disappointed.

“Well... I think there's no problem for me staying up all night every once in a while for work. I can bear it and it's not Like I do this all the time..."

Maria pursed her Lips, still trying to argue Like a stubborn child.

“Oh, so you can bear it? That's good then."

Obviously, Anthony was just being sarcastic. He didn't want someone talking nonsense to him.

“Why don't I call Aunt Jessica and share what you just said? Let's ask her if there's no harm in staying up all night, especially for a patient with narcolepsy. Then, I guess she'll be the judge if you need more courses of treatment for your condition.”

Hearing that Anthony was about to call Jessica, Maria instantly panicked.

After all, Jessica was an elder who was stricter than a tiger mother.

Maria had the habit of being aggressive, cold, and arrogant in front of anyone who didn't have a proper attitude. However, in the face of an elder who only had a good will in their heart, she was completely obedient.
