The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

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!” 75%

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!”

After feeding Bruce, Joanna reached out and touched his cheek. He smiled foolishly at her and drooled on her hand.

“No matter what you become, I will always take care of you and… love you! Forever!”

“Mommy, I want you to hug me…” Bruce hugged Joanna and kept burrowing his head into her arms.

Born in such a family, it was impossible for Bruce to have too much maternal love since he was young! The

moment he was born, he was handed over to a specialized nurse!

In the early years, his mother had to accompany his father to conquer the business world, so they could only have

servants take care of Bruce.

When Bruce was eight years old, he was sent overseas to study! When he returned from overseas, his father and

mother had already passed away!

In his subconscious mind, he craved maternal love. Now that his brain was damaged, the powerful castle built in his

heart had collapsed. He subconsciously regressed to his childhood state.

“Mr. Everett, you can get out of bed and take a walk!”

“That’s right. You need to do more exercise. It’s good for your treatment!”

“No, no, I want Mommy!” Bruce could not speak clearly. He had to pause for a few seconds after saying a few

words.

However, when he heard the children call Joanna mommy, he thought that she was his mommy as well and was

extremely dependent on her.

“Okay, okay, let me help you.”

“Ha!” Bruce drooled again and giggled foolishly. Like a child, he asked Joanna for a kiss and a hug. He even asked

her to lift him up.

Unfortunately, Bruce was so tall. In front of him, Joanna was simply like a little girl.
