Yennefer, who was in a deep sleep, appeared gauntly. However, her slender and delicate features were of a typical southern woman’s, giving people a gentle and approachable feeling. However, everything changed in less than fifteen minutes.
As the sedative wore off, she slowly woke up, her eyes empty and confused as she looked at her surroundings. Jones approached her and tried calling her name several times, but Yennefer did not respond at all.
With a disappointed expression, Jones quickly fetched two straps and fastened them to Yennefer’s wrists. Seeing this scene, Roxanne frowned slightly. Wouldn’t such a restraint method only further provoke her?
Just as she thought this, Yennefer’s face suddenly changed, her previously lifeless eyes turned sharp, and a vicious expression appeared on her face.
“Let me go. What are you doing? Jones, release me now! You’ll come to a bad end! How dare you treat me like this? Call James over. I want him to pay with his life! D*mn it, do you think you can keep me trapped like this? Where is that kid, James? Ah-
Her current state was nothing like the calm and composed Yennefer Lucian once knew. In addition to her hysterical screams, Yennefer desperately tried to break free from the straps, eventually standing up from the bed and suddenly appearing in front of Roxanne.
Her twisted face, filled with anger and hatred, startled Roxanne. Fortunately, Lucian reacted quickly, pulling Roxanne back and behind him. Jones’ warning had only come right then. “Be careful, don’t get too close! She will scratch and bite! It’s happening again! Ah…”
“Mr. Lann, why would Mrs. Lann want to hurt James?” Roxanne regained her composure, no longer afraid, as she had seen many patients with mania before. Despite that, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
In this altered state, it was as if the mentally ill patient’s consciousness had been replaced by another person. What kind of consciousness has taken over Yennefer’s body at this moment?
Some scientists had proposed that mentally ill patients might be experiencing confusion between two personalities from different dimensions, leading to incoherent speech and strange behavior. Before Jones could answer, Robert and several other psychologists entered the room.
Robert nodded slightly and said calmly, “Allow me to explain from the psychological perspective. In her current state, Ms.. Thompson probably imagines herself as her. twin sister, Sheba Thompson, due to some past trauma. As for the reason, Mr. Lann has not discussed it with us in detail. As for why she would hate her own nephew, I’m afraid only Mr. Lann knows.”
After he finished speaking, all the doctors looked toward Jones. Lucian felt a sinking feeling in his heart. It seemed that the rumor from years ago was true!
He vaguely remembered that James had mentioned this incident before. It happened in Xendale before the Lann family moved to Horington.
The Thompson sisters met Jones around the same time, and both fell in love with him. In the end, Jones chose Yennefer, the elder sister. Sheba, the younger sister, was repressed for a while but eventually seemed to accept the harsh truth.
However, it turned out that what Sheba displayed was only a false appearance. In fact, she was constantly jealous of her sister, Yennefer. Her evil thoughts clouded her mind, and she even plotted to secretly poison her sister, hoping to make her disabled.
In doing so, she could become Yennefer’s replacement and stay by Jones’ side forever.
