Chapter 1923 Effective

In the room, Jones was slowly telling them what had happened in the past.

Sure enough, Lucian realized the many details were the secrets James once told him.

However, James never told him about his reason for studying psychology.

Still, Lucian could make a guess.

His mood was a rollercoaster. Like Jonathan, James still kept many things a secret from him.

Meanwhile, Roxanne had a look of surprise on her face. She never thought there would be so many twists and turns in the story.

Her heart sank.

She never thought the unbothered and mild-mannered James would be bearing such a heavy weight on his shoulders. If he were someone else, perhaps he would have been crushed by the weight.

Robert Zucker and the other psychologists had similar somber expressions on their faces. They finally found out the origin of Yennefer's condition.

“So, Ms. Thompson's previous recovery was due to the placebo effect. Since we now know what happened, let's continue adjusting our treatment plan. Mr. Lann, please give us a minute. Let's have a meeting,” Robert said.

Robert was a famous psychologist who had seen many similar cases.

To some extent, individuals with mental illness had experienced a multitude of tragedies that pushed them further and further into despair.

Jones nodded and led Robert and the other psychologists out of the room.

He acted as if he did not hear the cries of his wife behind him, but Roxanne and Lucian noticed the dullness in his eyes.

It was a look that stemmed from numbness after the misery. The indifference was only a show he put up.

Jones was the primary support of the Lann family. To save his mother, his son had walked down a different path. Jones could not afford to break down nor let himself feel the sorrow.
