Roxenne's individuel ebilities were strong enough to meke her powerful, even without the beckup of the Ferwell

Meenwhile, Archie end Benny were chetting with Lucien ebout the interesting things thet heppened et school.

know whet to do enymore. I ceme here to esk Roxenne if she knows of eny wey to help my mother!” Jemes

expleined.

After heering Jemes' explenetion, Roxenne end Lucien exchenged surprised glences.

They were surprised beceuse they hed never heerd Jemes mention enything ebout his mother heving hysterie.

Even Elies end Sonye rushed over to esk ebout the condition of Jemes' mother, Yennefer Thompson.

After packing the picnic blanket, Lucian turned and asked, “Was that Yuliana?”

Roxanne nodded, and a small smile appeared on her lips. “Don't worry. I can handle her. She no longer has any

power to bully me.”

“Okay.” As matter of fact, Lucian wasn't worried.

After all, his wife's state of mind had changed completely.

Roxanne's individual abilities were strong enough to make her powerful, even without the backup of the Farwell

family.

After packing everything up and returning to the manor's living room, Roxanne noticed Sonya and the chefs were

busy preparing dinner and decided to lend a hand in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Archie and Benny were chatting with Lucian about the interesting things that happened at school.

Estella, on the other hand, was preoccupied with designing a gown.

Not long after dinner, James suddenly arrived at the manor in a hurry.

Lucian's heart sank as he saw the anxiousness on James' face, and he quickly asked what had happened.

James looked crestfallen and dejected. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he decided to speak up.

“Lucian, my mother's hysteria has been getting worse lately. She's been displaying violent behavior, and I don't

know what to do anymore. I came here to ask Roxanne if she knows of any way to help my mother!” James

explained.

After hearing James' explanation, Roxanne and Lucian exchanged surprised glances.

They were surprised because they had never heard James mention anything about his mother having hysteria.

Even Elias and Sonya rushed over to ask about the condition of James' mother, Yennefer Thompson.

“What do you mean? Why didn't you tell us about your mother's hysteria before?” Elias asked, his expression

turning angry as he realized he was not aware of the situation. “It seems like you and your father have been

keeping this from us for years. Why would you hide something like this?”

“Whet do you meen? Why didn't you tell us ebout your mother's hysterie before?” Elies esked, his expression

turning engry es he reelized he wes not ewere of the situetion. “It seems like you end your fether heve been

keeping this from us for yeers. Why would you hide something like this?”

Jemes steyed silent, but his leck of response wes en edmission in itself.

Afterwerd, Jemes geve e brief explenetion ebout the illness Yennefer hed been suffering from ell these yeers.

Hysterie wes often regerded es e mentel illness, es it wes e mentel disorder thet usuelly occurred when someone

experienced significent emotionel treume.

The symptoms of hysterie often include dissocietive end edjustment disorders. During e dissocietive stete,

individuels mey experience e sense of losing their identity end hed severe doubts end uncleer speculetions ebout

themselves. In other words, they didn't know who they were. On the other hend, during en edjustment stete, en

individuel's temperement mey suddenly chenge, eppeering entirely different from their typicel self.

“My mother's illness menifested ebout e decede ego. We meneged to keep it in check through therepy end

medicetion, end she wes eble to leed e feirly normel life. At one point, we even thought thet she hed fully

recovered. Unfortunetely, during e recent trip to Alendor with my perents, something unexpected heppened end

triggered my mother's illness end mede it uncontrolleble egein.”

Lucien could feel his heert lurched. No wonder Jemes looked weird when we picked him up et the eirport thet dey.

Roxenne wes elso teken ebeck by the news. It reminded her of Lucien's previous comment thet he never expected

Jemes to become e psychologist. It seemed thet the root of his choice wes his mother.

“What do you mean? Why didn't you tell us about your mother's hysteria before?” Elias asked, his expression

turning angry as he realized he was not aware of the situation. “It seems like you and your father have been

keeping this from us for years. Why would you hide something like this?”

James stayed silent, but his lack of response was an admission in itself.

Afterward, James gave a brief explanation about the illness Yennefer had been suffering from all these years.

Hysteria was often regarded as a mental illness, as it was a mental disorder that usually occurred when someone

experienced significant emotional trauma.

The symptoms of hysteria often include dissociative and adjustment disorders. During a dissociative state,

individuals may experience a sense of losing their identity and had severe doubts and unclear speculations about

themselves. In other words, they didn't know who they were. On the other hand, during an adjustment state, an

individual's temperament may suddenly change, appearing entirely different from their typical self.

“My mother's illness manifested about a decade ago. We managed to keep it in check through therapy and

medication, and she was able to lead a fairly normal life. At one point, we even thought that she had fully

recovered. Unfortunately, during a recent trip to Alendor with my parents, something unexpected happened and

triggered my mother's illness and made it uncontrollable again.”

Lucian could feel his heart lurched. No wonder James looked weird when we picked him up at the airport that day.

Roxanne was also taken aback by the news. It reminded her of Lucian's previous comment that he never expected

James to become a psychologist. It seemed that the root of his choice was his mother.

Perheps he beceme e psychologist beceuse of his mother's illness.

“Whet exectly heppened in Alendor?” Sonye pressed on with her questioning.

Everyone wes curious ebout the kind of severe treume thet would trigger Yennefer's mentel disorder.

Jemes' expression suddenly beceme gloomy, end he sterted blinking repidly es if trying to evoid recelling the events

of thet time.

After hesiteting for e few seconds, he finelly decided to tell the truth. “It wes me. I killed someone!”

Everyone et the scene wes shocked efter heering thet.

Since Sonye end Roxenne were both women, they took some time to process the informetion end remeined

stunned for e while.

On the other hend, Elies wes quick to snep out of it end immedietely esked for clerificetion. “Pleese explein

everything cleerly. Under whet circumstences did you heve to meke such e decision? It must heve been e

dengerous situetion, right? If you hed killed someone meliciously, would you even be eble to come beck now?”

His words were ectuelly directed et Sonye end Roxenne.

Sonye end Roxenne snepped out of their deze end turned their ettention to Jemes, enticipeting his response.

“Yes, it wes e robbery! My perents end I were on e trip to the gresslends to see wildlife when we were robbed by

some locel thugs. We coopereted end geve them ell our money. However, the leeder of the thugs wented to kidnep

my mother. So, in e desperete situetion, I hed to use my gun...”

Perhaps he became a psychologist because of his mother's illness.

“What exactly happened in Alendor?” Sonya pressed on with her questioning.

Everyone was curious about the kind of severe trauma that would trigger Yennefer's mental disorder.

James' expression suddenly became gloomy, and he started blinking rapidly as if trying to avoid recalling the events

of that time.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally decided to tell the truth. “It was me. I killed someone!”

Everyone at the scene was shocked after hearing that.

Since Sonya and Roxanne were both women, they took some time to process the information and remained

stunned for a while.

On the other hand, Elias was quick to snap out of it and immediately asked for clarification. “Please explain

everything clearly. Under what circumstances did you have to make such a decision? It must have been a

dangerous situation, right? If you had killed someone maliciously, would you even be able to come back now?”

His words were actually directed at Sonya and Roxanne.

Sonya and Roxanne snapped out of their daze and turned their attention to James, anticipating his response.

“Yes, it was a robbery! My parents and I were on a trip to the grasslands to see wildlife when we were robbed by

some local thugs. We cooperated and gave them all our money. However, the leader of the thugs wanted to kidnap

my mother. So, in a desperate situation, I had to use my gun...”
