It was late at night when Elias and Sonya realized that the young couple had not returned. Hence, they decided to call in to check on them.
Lucian briefly explained the Lann family's situation and told his parents that they were likely going to stay the night.
Much had happened to the Lann family, and Lucian advised against it when Elias said he wanted to come over.
There was nothing the latter could help with anyway, and it was better if he stayed home and took care of the three kids. Only then would Roxanne and Lucian be at ease.
Although it was approaching twelve o'clock at night, Yennefer was still awake. When Jones noticed that she looked tired, he advised her to head upstairs and rest first.
“Lucian and Roxanne, the two of you should get some rest too. I'll definitely help out with the wedding. I can't believe Sonya didn't tell me anything even though I'm quite well-versed in that matter!”
After saying that, Yennefer excused herself. Apart from a slight cognitive distortion from time to time, she had returned to her original self.
Jones' expression was sad as he remained in the living room.
After a long moment of silence, Jones finally forced a smile and comforted Roxanne and Lucian. “It's all right. If there's truly nothing we can do, we'll just have to treat her like a mentally ill patient and bring her to a professional psychiatric hospital for treatment.” He was already prepared for the worst possibility.
“Mr. Lann, if that's really the case, why don't you give this a shot?” Roxanne suggested as she suddenly thought of an idea.
“Give what a shot?” Lucian stared at his wife in puzzlement.
Roxanne explained the idea she had in mind.
James was a psychologist, after all. Therefore, he could participate in the treatment. However, he carried a burden in his heart and always assumed that his presence would trigger his mother's symptoms and worsen them.
