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.
