180 The Jilted Second Young Master (53)

Lin Yitian connected the camera to the wide TV screen, and he quickly clicked on the most recent video. This was the video that Wang Han recorded on his birthday. It seemed that it was only a few weeks ago, but the people on the screen seemed to have already become unfamiliar to him.

The video began with the sight of Song Jia standing with her back to the camera, busy with cooking.

Wang Han's voice was then heard in the video, "Miss Su, is this the cake you want to bake for the second young master?"

Song Jia turned around and flashed a smile, nodding her head.

Then Wang Han went to the living room and filmed the maids putting a birthday banner on the wall.

"Second young master, happy..."

"Don't say it!"

"Yitian, happy birthday."

"Jia's the first one to greet me, I'm so happy."

...

The depths of Lin Yitian's nose gave a prickly ache, and he felt the tears gather in his eyes again. He blinked quickly, and gripped Song Jia's hand on the bed.

This was no good, he was going to cry again. Showing such an ugly face to Jia, once she recovered, what if she didn't want him anymore?

"Jia, wait for a little while longer, after your body heals, we'll go on dates all over the city. The doctors said your body will get worse before it gets better, you have to trust their words."

In fact, although the doctors didn't say anything, Lin Yitian could tell by the grim expression on their faces that Song Jia's life was hanging by a thread.

"They say that the the cure for your disease is almost finished, it won't be long now."

The research department had tried everything, but all of their experimental trials had failed.

Lin Yitian also knew he was spiralling out of control. With the continuous arrival of bad news, the certainty that Song Jia was going to leave him had started to become his heart demon. He knew a lot about computers, but not much about the human body. However, even though he knew this, he could not sit still and just watch Song Jia die before him.

Lin Yitian kept it a secret from everybody else, but aside from managing the companies inside his study, he was also beginning to do his research on whole brain emulation. It was the hypothetical process of mind uploading in which the salient features of a person's brain would be scanned and mapped, and then copy and transfer that information state into a computer system. During this process, it was estimated that the biological brain would not survive.

The simulated mind would then be stored within a virtual reality or simulated world, supported by an anatomic 3D body. Lin Yitian was very efficient. He was already halfway into his research, having studied computational neuroscience before. For other people, this might be impossible, but for Lin Yitian who had unsurpassable talent in computers, this was only to be expected.

"Jia, you have to hang on, I will definitely save you."

Lin Yitian planted a gentle kiss on Song Jia's forehead, his eyes landing on the tulips placed in a vase beside her bed.

They were already slightly withered.

...

Wang Han was getting a bit concerned about about Lin Yitian.

He had accidentally overheard from the doctors that Miss Su's illness came too sudden and too fast, that it was hard for them to keep prolonging her life. Even the ALS specialist had admitted that it was hard for him to do anything except make Miss Su more comfortable and lessen her pain.
