Upon entering the hall, they were greeted by the sight of many psychologists engaging in a lively discussion. Leading the group was Robert Zucker, a renowned psychologist in the country and the mentor who guided James into the field of psychology.
Roxanne had heard her mentor mention Robert before. The man had been researching psychology for more than thirty years and had written many books on the subject, including one on criminal psychology that had become a textbook for the police.
This time, Robert brought along several students with him. Not only was he treating Yennefer, but he was also taking the opportunity to teach his students some key points.
There were other famous doctors present, but none as renowned as Robert, who was at the center of the scene, with everyone discussing solutions based on his ideas.
When Robert saw Lucian and Roxanne enter, he glanced at them and gestured for everyone to quiet down before walking up to Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, hello. Are you here to visit the patient?”
Lucian’s face was constantly appearing in the media, so it was no surprise that he was recognized. He decided to return Robert’s show of courtesy and shook the man’s hand.
“Hello, I am Lucian Farwell. You must be Professor Zucker. It’s an honor to meet you. We are relieved to have such a renowned doctor treating Mrs. Lann.”
Robert appreciated the compliment coming from someone of Lucian’s status and nodded with a smile. Then, he turned to Roxanne and greeted her, “Mrs. Farwell, hello!”
Roxanne was gradually getting used to the title and nodded in response. Lucian suddenly said, “Professor Zucker, it’s quite a coincidence that my wife is also a famous doctor. She’s here today to see if there’s anything she can do to help Mrs. Lann.”
Robert politely replied, “I’ve heard of Dr. Jarvis’ reputation, but I didn’t expect her to be so young. However, his tone abruptly changed. “Then again, Mrs. Lann’s condition is related to psychology. I’m afraid Dr. Jarvis’ expertise in pathology might not be of much help.”
Roxanne frowned slightly, sensing the hint of disdain in his words. Lucian also noticed and countered with a smile, “That’s not necessarily true. Some psychological conditions can indeed be treated through pathological methods. We’re just trying out every method that might work, after all.”
Robert begrudgingly agreed, “Well, it’s worth a try.” Jones, who was nearby, sensed the tension and quickly introduced other psychologists to Lucian and Roxanne. He then led the couple into the room to visit Yennefer.
After they entered, Robert’s expression turned cold. Roxanne Jarvis is a disciple of Harvey Lambert. Hmph, what use can she be in treating this psychological illness?
He had a history of grudges against Harvey, so naturally, he wouldn’t warm up to Roxanne. Roxanne, however, was unaware of this. Then, she and Lucian saw Yennefer, who was asleep and looked haggard, with ghastly- looking scratches on her arms.
The room was a mess, with shattered and broken items everywhere. Jones looked at his wife’s pale face with concern and turned to Roxanne, “Roxanne, I’ve heard that your skills in traditional medicine are extraordinary, especially acupuncture. That’s why I asked James to invite you here. Go ahead and try your best!”
“All right, I’ll give it a try. I won’t say more for now. Furthermore, we’ll have to wait for Mrs. Lann’s symptoms to flare up before we can know if the treatment is effective,” Roxanne said calmly. As a doctor, it was crucial for her to maintain emotional composure.
“Yes, but she’s bound for another fit. The sedative won’t last long this time around. When that happens, you all need to be careful. She might not recognize anyone,” Jones said with a worried expression.
