She knew that Lawrence had come out of the operating room and should now take off his gown, gloves and other medical care in the finishing room.

Lawrence was indeed doing the processing, washing his hands and instructing: "Let the 3 teams take care of the next work." Tell the new nurse to be especially careful on the first night. ”

The assistant doctor next to him replied, "Yes, doctor." ”

Lawrence put on a white lab coat and headphones, and as he walked towards the restaurant, he asked, "Lucy, tell me about the operation schedule for the next two days." ”

He now has an operation almost every day, and in order to keep the technique from leaking, he does it himself. And he only does one a day, although he is already familiar with this operation, and he can do three or four of them.

The company's performance is also steady and continuous, excluding various expenses every month, there are 5 million dollars in the account.

The artificial intelligence butler system responded: "Dr. Lawrence, you have no surgery scheduled for the next two days." ”

Lawrence stopped, and the system's voice continued to come into his ears through the headphones: "Miss Avril Austin is here, are you sure you will have surgery scheduled in the next two days?" ”

Lawrence's heart beat a little faster: "Where is she?" ”

"In the dining room, there are two meals in front of me. Looks like she's waiting for someone. "Lucy's intelligence is always upgrading, and of course it's also a credit to Avril, if Avril wants to change her career to become a programming engineer, it's definitely top-notch.

But she is only willing to be a lawyer, to help the poor and special groups, in her words: "Let humanity go on its own trajectory." ”

Lawrence immediately quickened his pace slightly, he didn't want to run out of breath in front of her.

Avril is back, wearing a black professional skirt and her dark brown hair in a bun. This kind of dress will make her look old, but even if she dresses like this, it can't take away her youth.

Lawrence walked up to her and sat down: "How long have you waited?" ”

"Soon, Doctor!" Lucy replied in a sly manner.

Lawrence immediately took off the headphones and put them in the pocket of his white coat.

With a smile on her lips, Avril picked up the chopsticks placed next to her and prepared to eat.

"Another lawyer's branch?" Lawrence also went to get chopsticks for dinner.

"Well, in California, there's the most poor people and the most people in need." Avril was eating.

"Got a lawyer's license in California?" Lawrence sighed slightly, he also wanted to install the chip.

"Well, when I went to the California branch, I applied for a doctorate degree from the California Law School by the way. This time, I need to take the exam myself, and I will be able to get a diploma in about two years. In the future, even if the fake master's degree is found out, this doctorate will be fine. "Avril is now as easy as eating with a Ph.D., and although California is poor, the university is quite good, which means that the best law school is the university, you can get in if you want, and you can get a diploma if you want to.

I was asked before why she had to take a 281 in the bar exam, and her answer was: "The full score is too exaggerated, and the 270 score is too risky, so it looks more real." ”

Avril paused: "There are some universities that are not well-known and want to give me an honorary master's degree, but I refuse. There is no need to take such an honorary degree with high moisture. ”

Once again, Lawrence wanted to install his own chip. But before that, he has something to do......

A red velvet box was handed to Avril: "Happy birthday." ”

Avril was a little surprised, today was her birthday, but I didn't expect Lawrence to remember.

I took the box and opened it, and inside was a diamond ring, pigeon eggs, which could dazzle people. She is twenty years old, and in two years, the world has been turned upside down.

The corners of her mouth were hooked, and there was a smile in her eyes: "Is it a birthday gift, or is it a marriage proposal?" ”

Lawrence looked at her with chopsticks: "It's okay." ”

Avril's heart beat faster, as if the chips were short-circuited, and she was a little incoherent: "That, I'...... What if I become the same again? ”

Lawrence seemed to be a little surprised when it was his turn, but he quickly recovered and laughed: "That's to replace the chip, next time I won't let you make it so bad, just be a lawyer." ”

Avril laughed violently, and the two of them laughed at each other for a long time.

Finally, Avril put the ring box in the pocket of her suit jacket, and the two of them continued to eat.

After dinner, Lawrence sent Avril back to the room, and when she arrived at the door of the room, Avril hesitated, but still decided: "Doctor, are you free to come in and have a drink with me now?" ”

Lawrence's breathing quickened slightly, and he replied with a smile: "Very happy." ”

The door opened and closed again, but the hallway was empty......

Three months later, the two had a low-key wedding. A year later, the first child was born; In the years that followed, they had two more children.

The world has not changed much except for a chip company that can improve people's IQ and a favorable law firm, and it has been developing steadily.

In the decade that followed, self-driving cars became widespread; In the past two decades, home care robots have become popular; Thirty years later, artificial intelligence companions appeared; In the past 40 years, autonomous aerial vehicles have become popular......

However, the combination of man-machine and intelligent chips is still the patent of Lawrence, and any company and government will always have various situations when developing them, leading to failure.

Lawrence, who was already wrinkled, age-spotted, and drooping, lay on the bed, occasionally looking sideways out the window.

On the 180-story building, sometimes there are flying machines flying through the windows.

"Honey, dear......" someone called to him.

He turned his head sideways and saw that sitting in front of the hospital bed was already his beloved wife with white hair.

Lawrence smiled, the teeth were all in the back, although there was a country in the research and development of the elixir and brain conversion, but they were all failures once, and he knew who was behind the ghost.

"My dear ......" he swallowed, but his mouth was still dry: "I'm almost at the end, it's a pity that I can't be with you anymore." ”

"Don't worry, one end is the beginning of another." Avril Lawrence took his hand and pressed it against her wrinkled face, "Doctor, your hands are warm. ”

Lawrence smiled, and then the smile froze on his face, and his eyes gradually lost their sparkle.

Avril sat there, looking deeply at the man who had gone through his life. Then he said calmly, "Lucy, inform everyone." ”

The system manager responded: "Notified! I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Lawrence. ”

"No regrets, we'll see you again." Avril stood up, her face calmly without a hint of sadness.

When the nurse and some of the offspring who were waiting outside entered the room, they found the Lawrence and his wife lying side by side on the bed, their hands interlocked, their hearts stopped beating and breathing, but they were serenely smiling.

Children, grandchildren, nurses and doctors all cried.

Suddenly their phones rang.

staring into tears and turning on the phone, the three-dimensional imaging showed the image of the young Avril.

She smiled and said, "I'm glad you're all sad, don't cry, I'm here, Dr. Lawrence is there, we're everywhere......"

"Turn on!" With a chime, Lawrence snapped his eyes open.

He was surprised to see Avril standing in front of him, just like when he was younger. He looked down at himself: "I'm ......"

"Our thoughts and memories are all implanted chips, and the chips are backed up on the internet, so ......" Avril said with a smile on her face: "Welcome to a new world, dear." ”
