Chapter 652
Hearing the children call her mommy, Bruce pursed his lips and called out to her in a low voice, “Mommy…”
Joanna was stunned. She looked at Bruce in shock and heartache.
“Mommy… Mommy… Mo…” Bruce imitated the children and kept calling Joanna “Mommy”.
“Bruce, you can’t call me mommy.”
Davian said gently, “Daddy, you should call her honey. We’re all your children. Mommy is your wife!”
“We can call Mommy, but you can’t!”
“Mommy! Haha!” Bruce mumbled “Mommy” again, and saliva flowed out of his mouth again!
When Joanna saw this, she felt her heart skip a beat. She looked at Bruce with her heart full of anxiety.
The doctor said that his intelligence might be affected.
“Oh god!” Joanna asked inwardly. “Did he really become a retard?”
She didn’t even dare to imagine how sad it would be for someone with such a high IQ and supercilious attitude to suddenly become a retard.
The next day, the doctor gave Bruce a more comprehensive examination, as well as an intelligence test.
Joanna stayed with Bruce and waited for the results uneasily.
“Mr. Everett’s brain has been damaged. After testing, we found that his current IQ is only equal to that of a three- or four- year-old kid!”
“Three or four years old?” Joanna felt a chill run down her spine!
“Yes, the test shows that Mr. Everett’s current IQ is no more than that of a five-year-old kid.”
Joanna gasped, and a hint of desolation appeared in her eyes. “Then… when will he recover?”
Jordan glanced at the EEG and said with a heavy expression and replied, “That’s hard to say. He might recover in a short time, or he might… never recover. This is the aftereffect of the craniotomy. There’s no way to avoid it.”
When Joanna heard this, she felt as if the whole world was spinning.
She really did not expect Bruce to have such serious side effects.
“What should we do now, Dr. Clayton? Can it be cured?”
Steve sighed and said regretfully, “There’s no way to treat this at the moment.”
“There’s nerve damage to Mr. Everett’s brain. Actually, nerve damage to the human body is the most difficult to treat. Medical science has yet to reach the level of being able to treat it.”
“Alright, I see.”
Back in the ward, the servants were trying to feed Bruce some liquid food.
Bruce was like a child. He ate as he spat out the food in his mouth. He kept spitting out bubbles, which stained the entire
bed.
When Joanna saw this, her heart ached so much that it was about to break into pieces.
“Bruce, I’m sorry!”
Seeing that Joanna had returned, Bruce smiled foolishly at her and shook his arms. “Mommy! I want you to hug me!”

When Joanna heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. She walked slowly to him and held his head in
her arms.
Bruce snuggled in Joanna’s arms and smiled even more happily. The liquid food on his face rubbed against her clothes.
Joanna gently stroked his head, giving him as much gentleness and security as she could.
She knew that he was at his most vulnerable state right now.
“Mrs. Joanna, Mr. Everett refuses to eat properly. Look, he’s spitting out food everywhere.” The servants all looked at Joanna helplessly.
Joanna took the bowl from a servant and looked at Bruce. She said gently, “Can I feed you?”
“Okay! I want Mommy to feed me!”
Hearing this, Joanna hid her tears. She scooped a spoonful of liquid food made of nutrition powder and brought it to his lips.
Bruce giggled foolishly and obediently opened his mouth to eat.
“Joann, no matter what, it’s already a blessing in disguise that Mr. Everett can wake up.”
“That’s right! He’s already very lucky that he didn’t lose any limbs or organs after such a serious car accident. It doesn’t matter if he becomes stupid.”
“That’s right. Mr. Everett has such a bad temper. It might be a good thing now. Take good care of him!”
