The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
Chapter 1919

Chapter 1919 Advise Him

As James recounted the events, Sonya and Roxanne didn't display the same look of shock as before, but they felt a sense of unease for the family.

Alendor was a place of chaos and housed many unforeseen dangers.

Due to the safety issues of the country, people were allowed to bear arms.

Therefore, it was permissible for James to carry firearm at that time because it was a means of self- protection against the extremely ferocious wild animals in the grasslands in the event of an uncontrollable situation.

Little did he expect that this trip would result in a situation where he had to take a life in self-defense.

The happenings at the time instantly shocked Yennefer, and her hysteria began to take over due to fear, causing her to speak incoherently.

Finally, the local authorities arrested the thugs and quickly took Yennefer to the hospital for emergency treatment.

However, the hospital at that time did not even meet basic hygiene standards, let alone equipped with any facilities for mental treatment.

Fortunately, James, being a psychologist, was able to use hypnosis to induce sleep in Yennefer, and his father, Jones, promptly took Yennefer out of Alendor.

“After my mother returned, I invited all the well-known psychological experts I knew to our house. The treatment process lasted for more than half a month. Meanwhile, I was trapped in Alendor dealing with the whole thing and was only released afterward. When I returned home, I worried that if my mother saw me, she would remember the scene of me firing the gun. So, I lied to Lucian and didn't go home directly.”

After James finished speaking, Lucian felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Hence, he cast a cold glance at James. “How could you try to hide such a serious incident from me? You're really foolish!”

James didn't dare to argue with Lucian, and his face was full of apologies.

Of course, Lucian wouldn't really blame him. He immediately looked at Roxanne.

“I understand. You are aware of the urgent situation at home, but you're uncertain whether Mrs. Lann would become more agitated upon seeing you. Therefore, are you considering letting me try instead?”

Roxanne looked at James, waiting for his confirmation.

James nodded. His eyes were full of hope.

“I can do that without any problem. Lucian and I will go to your house to check things out now. You don't have to worry too much. You've mentioned that there are plenty of psychology experts at your house, so it shouldn't be a big problem,” Roxanne reassured after agreeing to help James without hesitation.

Lucian also stood up, approached James, and patted him on the shoulder.

“You learned this from Jonathan, didn't you? I'll forgive you this time, but I don't want the same thing to happen again in the future,” Lucian warned in a serious tone.

James pulled the corners of his mouth into a wry smile and nodded. “Okay, I'll take note.”

Since there was no time to lose, they immediately headed toward James' house.

James drove, and after half an hour of speeding, they arrived at the Lann family's mansion.

The car pulled up at the front door, and James didn't plan to go in with them. “I don't think it's appropriate for me to appear right now. I'm counting on you, Lucian, Roxanne.”

The couple gave him a reassuring look and quickly walked into the mansion.

Since they had informed Jones beforehand, the latter was waiting to greet them by the door. He immediately stepped forward when he noticed Roxanne and Lucian.

“Lucian, is this Roxanne?” Jones looked at Roxanne and then apologized, “I'm really sorry I couldn't attend your wedding.”

“Please don't worry about it, Mr. Lann. After all, there are some special circumstances at home,” Roxanne replied, having learned to treat those with close relationships with the Farwell family as close acquaintances.

They noticed Jones' gaze directed toward the outside. Lucian quickly explained, “James won't be coming in for now. He's worried that Mrs. Lann may be triggered if she sees him. But don't worry, he's fine.”

The worries on Jones' face subsided slowly after hearing Lucian's assurance.

He gave a nod and commented, “Lucian, you're very caring. I'm genuinely concerned that my son is being too hard on himself. In reality, all of this was simply an unexpected event. Please help me in advising him.”
