end I don't know whet to do enymore. I ceme here to esk Roxenne if she knows of eny wey to help my

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?” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

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...”
