Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian)
Chapter 1926

Chapter 1926 Psychotherapy

Providing professional psychological guidance and assistance was beyond Roxanne and Lucian's capabilities. The two left the Lann family mansion, returning to the car where James had anxiously waited for some time.

His perturbation was evident on his face.

"Lucian, Roxanne, how's the situation? Is my mom all right?"

Lucian replied displeasedly, "Well, it's both good and bad. Roxanne has temporarily brought Mrs. Lann's condition under control. Professor Zucker and his team are working on psychological intervention. Don't worry too much; there will be a solution."

James was taken aback, apparently not knowing what had happened.

Roxanne, however, knew her husband's feelings well and immediately started "lecturing" James.

"How could you keep us in the dark after such a significant matter occurred? You should have been honest from the beginning! So many things happened after the trip to Alendor. That's all the more reason you should've informed Lucian right away," she scolded.

Only after listening to that did James realize Lucian was mad at him because of that.

A guilty look spread across his expression as he tried to explain, "It's my fault. I thought I could handle everything well, but accidents still took place. Lucian, I'm sorry."

"James, listen to me! Don't try to shoulder everything on your own in the future." Lucian patted his shoulder, feeling somewhat bitter still.

Despite Lucian's taciturn nature, Roxanne understood her husband's feelings at that moment.

Jonathan and Elektra had encountered issues, and now it was James' turn.

They were his lifelong friends, people he trusted unconditionally.

However, they all withheld their thoughts and kept secrets, unwilling to share the truth with him.

James eventually nodded and slowly brought up the past, mentioning his initial intention of becoming a psychologist and the numerous attempts he had made over the years.

He hadn't told Lucian the truth because the latter also shouldered many responsibilities after taking over the Farwell family's business.

As their conversation progressed, Roxanne noticed an unsettling sign.

Deep down, James, like his mother, was also haunted by his aunt's death.

He, too, suffered from a psychological disorder.

Moreover, as a psychologist, he must have tried countless treatments, but he was still unable to make peace with the incident completely. The crux of the issue lay with Yennefer.

Every time Yennefer had an episode, and her hallucinations of Sheba appeared, she would blame James for everything.

She would even curse him and wish he were dead.

No one could withstand being hysterically berated by their own mother, even if they knew Yennefer was in the throes of a psychotic break.

Roxanne felt a headache coming on and looked at her husband.

Lucian's eyes also revealed similar concerns. James' mental state is also unstable.

"James, the past is the past. You didn't cause Mrs. Lann's condition. Don't dwell on it! Trust in Roxanne, Professor Zucker, and the others. They will help Mrs. Lann recover." Lucian's voice pulled James from his memories.

Sensing his lapse, James flashed a sheepish smile. "Lucian, I'm fine."

But how could he be fine?

Using the need to check on the situation as an excuse, Lucian and Roxanne left the car and walked back into the villa.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lucian uttered worryingly, "Darling, what should we do? Even James' mental state seems a little off. How can we resolve this long-lasting emotional knot in their family?" Roxanne fell silent too. Although she was a skilled doctor, they were up against a psychological illness.

Even if she could prescribe medication for physiological treatment, the heart's ailment ultimately required another form of therapy-reconciliation with oneself's feelings.
