Chapter 4 Chapter Four

March 20, 1989 After Hopps left, Victor began to think about the cause of the boy's premature death.Cerebral edema, to be precise, is hydrocephalus that leads to rapid death, but what is the cause of hydrocephalus? Victor felt terrified, and hurried to the computer screen to turn it on and check Morris' files, looking for indirect clues to the boy's death.But after a while, there was no video.Victor pressed the operation button again, the query cursor flashed in the lower right corner of the screen, and then typed out the words "No such file", Victor turned pale with shock.

hell!Victor cursed secretly. Perhaps he pressed the wrong key, and he tried again. It was clearly typed on the screen again; Baby Hopps. Query result: No such file. Victor turned off the computer blankly, what happened?It's true that he hasn't picked it up for a long time, but he shouldn't have disappeared for no reason.He suddenly thought of another child, so he restarted the machine and typed: Baby Murray. Same result: no such file. At this moment the door opened, and Colleen held the door and said: Mr. Murray from the accounting office called you and said that his son was seriously ill and he was crying on the phone.

Victor immediately went to answer the phone. sorry for interrupting you."I've had your understanding and support since we were trying to have a baby, so I thought it was time to tell you," Murray said in a choked voice over the phone.Our little Mark is now at Children's Hospital, he is dying and the doctors say there is nothing they can do. I'll come to you right away.Victor hung up the phone hastily. Half an hour later, Victor showed up at the children's hospital.When Horace saw Victor, he immediately came up to him. Is it getting better?Victor asked first. Horace shook his head sadly and said: Still wearing a respirator.He was a unique child, gifted and brilliant. He choked up and couldn't go on. His wife, Colette, buried her face in her hands, her shoulders twitching violently.

He bid farewell to the worried parents of the child, walked through several automatic doors, entered the surgical emergency room, and met Mark's attending physician, Dr. Nacaro, a Japanese-American mixed race.He said that he was a physician, a friend of the Murray family, and wanted to know about Mark's current situation. Very bad.Dr. Nacaro said solemnly, the child is dying, all rescue measures are of no avail, and the cause is unknown.Let's go, I'll take you to have a look. mark.Murray lay in the middle of a large crib surrounded by high fences, his head covered in bandages.Dr. Nacaro explained that they tried their best to reduce the pressure on the brain and prolong life, but with little success.

You see, he handed Victor the ophthalmoscope, and Victor immediately noticed that the child's retina was bulging out due to the huge pressure in the brain. It's clear, right?Apart from hydrocephalus, Nacaro said, nothing was wrong and there was no concurrent meningitis.Everything is controlled by God, and modern medicine is powerless. As if to confirm his creepy speculation, the pacemaker suddenly sounded an alarm, and the oscilloscope showed that Mark's atrial fibrillation occurred. Without saying a word, the two stared at the green line, which was gradually pulling into a straight line from irregular shaking.

The game is over.Dr. Nacaro said quietly.It sounds cruel and heartless, but Victor tastes the deep sadness of being defeated. Victor left with leaden heavy steps.He is well aware that the possibility of this disease contagion is almost zero.But he was extremely worried that VJ would be under the same threat. As soon as Victor walked into his office, he immediately called the company's data programmer Louis.Casper came and said to him: I can't find the two files in the computer.I wish to keep it private.The file name is then reported. Louis sat down in front of the computer and started searching.

did not find?Victor saw that the screen was blank. Yes, but not sure.Wait until I go back and check the computer usage records. Are you absolutely sure that the file name is correct? True. I'll go back and look it up. After Lewis left, he was still sitting in front of the computer, when a thought flashed through him, and then he carefully typed a line on the keyboard: Baby Frank. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the query button, held his breath and stared at the screen.Fears fulfilled: VJ's files have disappeared. Victor slumped back in his chair, dripping with cold sweat.He seemed to hear the voices of Hester and Jonathan threatening him again:

Don't you pretend to be a white knight of science! You are not spotless either!Outside the window, dark clouds are billowing, and rain and snow are coming.
