"Where did you just go?"

"Let's eat first, Foley, there's time."

This sentence sounds funny and helpless to Foley, they have time, the past is, they don't need to cherish every day of the past, and the future and the present, Ephia may still be qualified to say this, but she is no longer qualified.

Representative Foley believes that his life has once again come back to square one over the years, and he is grateful to God for allowing Ephia to reappear with him at such a time, but this gratitude cannot be expressed, and even scares him.

And the root of this fear, like all his fears of the good and the bad in life, is that the disease, from his mother to himself, never spares them.

He knew that thinking like this would only make everything more and more difficult, and it was best not to think about it or live a normal life.

He has always done a good job, what should a person with a malignant disease or benign tumor tell the patient, he believes that no matter what day it is, he hopes that the patient can be actively treated and develop good living habits.

If this is true for both benign and malignant cases, why bother telling the patient that the condition is very serious, it will only lead the patient into a cranky mind that is entangled day and night.

The mother did not confirm the seriousness of the disease from her own mouth until she died, whether it was better or worse for her, and if he had chosen a different path in the first place, would the consequences be completely different?

Now everything and everything is telling Foley that it has nothing to do with him, and that his mother's personality means that she can't tolerate any physical illness at all.

She became angry with others, blaming others for not taking good care of herself, and her personality became more and more eccentric, saying that her father was abusing her and that Foley would not visit him.

He endured a lot to no avail. If he had turned back the clock, would he still have made such a decision?

No, he overestimated himself too much, he was too far behind a lawyer in this kind of matter, a lawyer could easily gain his mother's trust, but he couldn't.

If what Bellus and Asselsuchi Ryomi told him was not a false imagination, and he was sure that Belus had been a complete existence a few days ago, neither a robot nor his mental problem, then what he said was as true as he was?

His vague articulation of the purpose of his research hurts for Foley, and in fact, anyone should be able to tell that they are distinctly like large signs on the highway.

"Did we disappoint you when we met again, Ephia." Representative Foley suddenly looked up at her.

She was about to put the sushi in her mouth, the red caviar stuck to her clothes, and when Forlì tried to help him remove it, she leaned forward obediently.

"There's no such thing, I'm very happy to see you, really."

Efia worries if she is being too sincere, but it is a little false. Representative Foley's expression immediately dispelled her concerns.

He raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes curled, and said happily, "That's good, I'm still a little worried." ”

"Foley, you're worrying too much."

"Now, there aren't many left, it's useless to worry about many things, and you can't worry about more things."

Efia knew what he was referring to, and the two of them were always tacit, even when they were separated.

She smiled slightly, she was not happy, she always had to face some problems, and now she could no longer indulge herself with her youth.

"Tell me, your body, what's going on?" She plucked up the courage to ask.

"A tumor that the doctor suspects is inherited from my mother, but it is not clear whether this tumor developed in my mother, and she refused all hospital treatment after surgery, or the hospital rejected her."

"So it's a genetic disease?"

"This is not important, and there is no way to confirm it, from the genetic test, it should be caused by a genetic disease, but the mother died, and the doctor can only speculate without her test records, but this is not the point, the location of the tumor seems to be more meaningful."

"Okay, where is it?"

"Here." Representative Foley puts his right hand on his back near the seventh spine, "Right here." ”

"I wasn't too worried at first, you know. My doctors didn't look surprised when they said they were sick, they seemed to say that no matter how serious the illness was, it would be as bland as saying cough, as long as they weren't contagious. ”

"Doctors need that, it allows them to focus more on their work."

"Hmm" Representative Foley nodded, pulling his hand back. "Most of the time it's like there's nothing in that place, and I don't feel it at all, but lately I think it's some psychological effect, and I often feel weird."

"It's still going to be uncomfortable."

"You can't say that, for example, I'm talking to you, and when I'm talking to someone seriously, it will disappear without a trace, but I don't know when I will clearly feel its existence, and I don't know if it's it reminding the brain or the brain reminding it.

Speaking of which, I really have to think about it, this conduction must be mutual, and in fact I can block it at any point in the spinal nerves, the brain, or any of the three of them. But what good is it for me? ”

"It's your specialty, and it can be simulated like this for robots, but you're human, Foley, and there's no part of you that you're a machine."

"Maybe that's the big problem."

"I'm a little confused."

"If I were a machine, I wouldn't have to worry about it." Representative laughs, he had expected to be a little nervous when he said this to Ephia, but now he didn't seem to have it at all.

Maybe he had whispered something similar to Ephia dozens of times in his mind more than a month ago, and Ephia was like a little person in his brain, and he needed this little person to listen to all his joys, angers, sorrows, doubts, pains, worries, and joys.

"Of course, today's medical robots are very familiar with spine surgery, and they can preserve peripheral nerves when removing tumors, which is like embroidering on flower petals when humans used to do it."

"So, what are you worried about, even if something goes wrong with the surgery, you can regain neural control with an external device."

"You're right, those things aren't the preserve of science fiction for a long time."

Ephia didn't seem too worried, unlike Samel and her mother.

Foley looks at her with both admiration and relief.

What a wonderful girl.

Representative Foley flashed a thought, why waste time here, shouldn't their meeting be hugged tightly, should they make up for the lost time?

"My doctor recommended that I take nerve replacement therapy." Representative Foley puts his left hand on Ephia's shoulder, and she doesn't move. "This method is said to completely remove the tumor and renew the connection between the spinal nerves and the brain."

"It's not a big deal, sooner or later humans will use this technology, or use a better technology than this."

She looked at Representative and nodded seriously, "Representative Foley, the most worrying thing is whether this tumor is primary, have you done a full body organ scan?" ”

The faint light outside the window swayed in her eyes through the eucalyptus leaves. "I mean, is it okay after removing the tumor, is there a high probability of recurrence and metastasis?"
