Chapter 915
“Joann, I’m really sorry. I’m a failure.
“I’ve always thought that I could give you happiness. Now I realize that I’m the cause of all your calamities.
“From now on, I won’t leave you, even for half a step. I won’t let you get hurt again.
“You have to be strong too. Get rid of your drug addiction and recover as soon as possible…”
Beep, beep, beep.
The phone rang.
Over the past few days, Davian and Irvin had already called him many times.
He was not in the mood to answer the call.
Today, he picked up the little guys’ call for the first time.
“Hey!”
Davian’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone. “Daddy, are you back at Greyport already?” “Yes.” Bruce suppressed the pain in his heart and tried to sound as calm as possible.
Davian asked impatiently, “Where are you now? Why aren’t you going home? We’re very worried about you.”
Bruce’s heart ached. He said in a hoarse voice, “Daddy… has something to do now. I might not be able to go home for a while.”
“Daddy, did you find Mommy?”
“We miss Mommy very much. Where did Mommy go?” Irvin asked anxiously.
“Daddy has already found Mommy. Don’t worry.”
When the two little guys heard this, their frightened mood instantly turned into surprise. “Daddy, is it true? Is Mommy really back?”
Hearing the children’s ecstatic voices, Bruce felt even worse. “It’s true.”
“Where is Mommy now? We miss her so much, and we miss Daddy too.”
“Mommy is…” Bruce held Joanna’s soft hand tightly. His eyes were sore, and he could not help but choke.
“Daddy, what’s wrong? Are you crying?”
“No!”
The two little guys immediately became nervous again and asked carefully, “Daddy, tell us the truth. Did something happen to Mommy?”
In their eyes, Daddy was an omnipotent superhero.
Something that could make Daddy cry must be very tragic.
They were extremely worried and thought that… their mommy was dead.
Otherwise, Daddy would not have cried.
Bruce calmed himself down and suppressed his sadness. “No, you don’t have to worry. Mommy will go back soon.”
“We want to talk to Mommy now. We want to see Mommy and confirm it’s her.”
“Mommy is sleeping now. It’s not convenient for her to talk to you.”
“Daddy, don’t lie to us. We want to know the truth.”
Irvin also rushed to answer, “That’s right. Men don’t lie to men. I hope Daddy can tell us the truth. We can bear it.”
“Mommy is really fine. Don’t worry.”

“Daddy, please, let us see Mommy! I haven’t seen Mommy for so long. I’m really worried.”
“Boohoo, where are you and Mommy? Do you not want us anymore?” The two little guys could not help but cry.
“Silly children, why wouldn’t Daddy want you?”
“Boohoo… Daddy, Devin is sick. He cries at home every day and no one can coax him. He must miss you and Mommy too. Come back and see us quickly.”
“We’re about to become wild children without parents. Boohoo…”
When Bruce heard this, he felt indescribably upset and cried with the children.
In the past, he was the kind of man who would never cry.
Now, he was becoming more and more emotional. The number of times he cried this year was many times more than the number of times he cried in the past.
“Daddy, just let us take a look so that we can be at ease.”
“Silly children, you’re thinking too much.”
Bruce didn’t want the children to be so worried, so he hung up and made a video call.
Then, he aimed the camera at Joanna’s face.
“Look, Mommy is fine!”
The two little guys’ eyes were filled with tears. “Daddy, what happened to Mommy?”
“Mommy… is sick. She’s being treated in the hospital now. When Mommy recovers, she can go see you guys.”
“What’s wrong with Mommy?”
“Alright, stop asking questions. Now that I’ve shown you your mommy, you can rest assured. I’ll hang up first.”
“Ah…” Joanna murmured and woke up groggily.
“Mommy, Mommy!” Davian and Irvin shouted excitedly at their mommy in the video.
Joanna blinked, her face blank. She was unmoved by the children’s calls.
The tranquilizer drugs that the doctor injected into her should have been enough for her to sleep for four
hours.
However, her drug addiction was acting up, and she woke up in less than an hour.
“Cough, cough. Uh, it’s so cold…” Joanna’s body twitched. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Joann.”
Joanna trembled for a few seconds before suddenly screaming like a lunatic, “Ah…”
Her heart felt like a cat was clawing at it.
It made her wish she was dead.
“Mommy…” Davian and Irvin were stunned.
They had never seen their mommy act like a lunatic.
Seeing this, Bruce hurriedly turned off his phone.
“Joann, you’re awake?”
“Why did you tie me up again?”
“Let
