Johnson had no idea what Byron was thinking, but seeing it appear calm behind the mirror, he believed he had achieved his purpose.
So he declared, "Well, I've asked all the necessary questions. Now let's take a look at Martin's artwork..."
Martin cooperatively handed him the sketchbook.
Johnson flipped through it, frowning and then relaxing his brow, which made Cora's heart race with anxiety.
"Doctor, what's the result?" She asked.
Johnson looked through each page of Martin's drawings once again and then smiled at Cora. "Congratulations."
Puzzled, Cora asked, "Congratulations? Congratulations on what?"
"Congratulations on Martin not having any psychological issues, and his IQ is remarkably high."
"But if Martin has no psychological issues, why hasn't he started speaking? Other kids at his age can talk in long sentences!"
She felt so depressed whenever she saw other kids speaking fluently while Martin couldn't even call her Mom.
"Children's language development varies. It can also be influenced by genetic factors. If one of the parents started speaking later, it's possible for the child to experience such delays."
"Is that so?"
Cora thought she had learned to speak at a normal age.
Was Martin's late speech development due to inheriting it from Byron?
But she didn't want to seek confirmation from him.
"Yes, so just relax. He will start speaking soon."
Johnson's encouragement filled Cora with hope.
As they were about to leave, Cora invited Johnson to have a meal together.
