It is no wonder that Judith is so angry, as Hawking's assistant, she has to spend time with the master almost every day, taking care of his daily life and diet in all aspects, so she knows the extent of the torment of this terrible disease to the patients.

ALS disease, also known as "motor neuroblastic disease" in the UK, has a host of bizarre names, each of which speaks volumes about the specificity of the disease. But one thing is undeniable - it is a disease that is recognized as incurable and potentially fatal.

So far, modern medicine still does not know the exact cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, there are no effective measures to stop the progression of this disease, and even early diagnosis is still difficult, and misdiagnosis is often seen.

The "Ice Bucket Challenge", which has become very popular in recent years, was initiated by friends and relatives of Pete-Frates, a famous Boston College baseball player who suffers from ALS, in the hope that through this activity, people can understand and experience the suffering of rare patients with ALS, and at the same time raise funds for treatment. Celebrities from all walks of life, including Bill Gates, Larry Page, Kobe Bryant, Cristiano Ronaldo and many others, have participated in the event, and even the current US President Barack Obama has been criticized for not doing what he did and only donated $100. It can be seen that the scope of influence is wide.

However, it was the first to make the disease widely known. Or because of Steve Hawking. Some even named it "Hawking's disease". Occasionally, therefore, some research institutions come to Cambridge to approach Hawking, saying that progress has been made, and that he wants the world's attention to accept his treatment. Unfortunately, their behavior of selling fame and reputation is often to win attention, and there is no practical treatment to match, and it often adds a burden to Hawking's already weak body in vain, which is what makes Judith angry - the cruelest thing in the world. There is nothing better than giving a man who is dying of thirst a little hope and then telling him that it is just a pipe in the air.

Obviously, in her heart, Li Jie and the others are also one of these despicable people.

However, Li Jie was not as frightened as Trist, he was not affected by Judith's aggressiveness at all, and even his posture and expression did not change at all: "Judith, please believe me, like you, I have twelve points of respect for Mr. Hawking, and it is impossible to joke about this kind of thing." ”

Judith didn't buy it. She didn't believe the young man in front of her, and the goodwill brought by the original first impression had long since disappeared. "If you still have to insist. I had to ask the security guards to ask you to leave. ”

Now Triss is in a hurry, she is still very confident in the research of the Corona Company, and she really respects Steve? Hawking, for fear of self-defeating, interjected: "Judith, please give Bruce a moment to explain, okay?" We are by no means people who want to rely on Mr.'s fame to make a splash! ”

Li Jie's eyes never left Hawking, although the "King of the Universe" was almost unable to move his whole body, and he was reluctant to even make expressions, but God did not take away his genius brain after all, and his eyes also fell motionlessly on Li Jie's face, and only after a long time did he speak through the sounder:

“0.42%。”

Trist looked at Judith blankly, completely unaware of what it meant. The latter was still angry, but he still explained with a cold face: "Steve believes that the probability of having the opportunity to receive effective treatment in his lifetime will not exceed this number. So I beg you to stop burdening him with this unnecessary hope, and that what he needs is proper care and rest, not another disappointment. ”

Li Jie was unmoved, and smiled as if nothing happened: "Sir, the probability you gave is greater than I imagined." But it's okay, at least it's not hopeless, is it? ”。

Judith felt that the handsome face in front of him became more and more hateful, and he wanted to spill the tea he had just spilled directly on his face, he had already said it clearly enough, and he still looked shameless and meaningless, talking cool things.

Hawking's eyes rolled quickly, and the sounder sounded again: "You say artificial genomes? ”

The smile on Li Jie's lips quickly expanded, knowing that the other party had been aroused by himself. He never acted blindly, and had done his homework before he came, and had learned almost everything he could have gathered about Hawking. This authority on physics and cosmology, although also a mortal body, is indispensable for his vulnerability. But at the same time, he has absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people with thick nerves and tenacious fighting spirit, although most of his life has been paralyzed, even speaking is very difficult, so far after at least five or six near-deaths, he has always maintained a strong spirit of exploration, obsessed with the research of the frontiers of theoretical physics, worthy of the true optimist, and even a little prank against death.

There was once a cartoon movie in which a couple watched Hawking come slowly in a wheelchair with a life-support system, and the wife said to her husband, "I want to turn his life-support system off for a while and then turn it on to see what happens." The plot greatly angered Hawking's family, but he himself laughed and thought it was humorous and creative.

He is never afraid of his identity being exposed, nor does he care about the strange eyes of others looking at him, and is even willing to take pictures with fans in the club. As early as 2008, there were also media reports that Hawking once used a voice speaker in an adult club to say that if you talk about the universe in such a place, it is better to look at women.

So Li Jie kept laughing, his expression became more and more relaxed, and finally spoke when Judith was almost crazy:

"There is hope in life."

This sentence seems to be clueless and inexplicable, just an ethereal word of comfort, but hearing that Judith and others seem to have a special magic in their ears, she opened her mouth, and for a while she didn't know what words to refute.

Because this sentence was said by Hawking himself, looking through his life deeds, you will find that this is indeed a living epic, "The Theory of Everything" adapted from his real experience, and even made a post-80s actor win the Oscar.

The corners of Hawking's mouth twitched, revealing an extremely ugly smile that absolutely no one would hate, and said word by word with a sounder: "Bruce has a point, Judy." In 1962, they said I had only two years to live, and I outlived several doctors so much longer that even Jane couldn't stand to leave me. ”

He even told a joke, but no one in the audience laughed except for Li Jie. Judith covered her mouth in excitement, tears streaming down her face. Hawking's Jane is his wife - Jane? Wald, a great woman, chose to marry and take care of Hawking for more than 30 years knowing that he was ill, shattering the doctor's death prophecy. The reason for their separation was not Jane's abandonment, but Hawking's focus on his own research, and after the publication of "A Brief History of Time" in 1988, it was immediately translated into more than 40 languages, with sales reaching 10 million, and countless admirers and admirers surrounded Hawking, and the pressure of this reputation drove Jane to leave, and the two are still close to this day.

It is absolutely difficult for others to understand the hardships and hardships involved in this sentence, but Judith knows that this is the first time she has heard Hawking say such a long sentence in several years, which means that he has been moved by Li Jie's words.

Li Jie also knew that because every word he said was well thought out, he was convinced that the other party would at least be interested in trying it.

He succeeded, as Hawking went on to say: "Bruce seemed very sincere, he knew me well. Maybe we should let this young genius try. ”

Li Jie stood up: "Steve, can I call you that?" It seems that you also know something about me, and you should be able to see that I don't do boring things. ”

Judith understood that Hawking, who had said this, had decided, and she wiped her tears lightly: "Steve, are you sure you want to do this?" ”。

"I'm not that vulnerable, and I want to see if probability will work wonders here at Bruce." Hawking blinked and said again.

Judith also left his seat, walked in front of Li Jie, and looked up at him despite the height difference between the two of them of more than 20 centimeters: "Bruce, look into my eyes and tell me how sure you are." ”

Li Jie's eyes drooped, and his hands caressed the lady's shoulders, conveying firmness and confidence from the temperature of his palms: "I'll prove it to you, Judy." (To be continued......)
