Author: Thirteen Brews
The secretary's voice was shaking. "The patient's family is outside the hospital with a banner right now, and reporters are already showing up. It's spreading online too. People are calling our algorithm a killer algorithm."

Bastian gripped his phone so hard that his nails dug into his palm. "That's impossible! There's nothing wrong with the algorithm! The hospital must have screwed up the operation!"

"But the family isn't buying it. They say the surgical footage shows the doctor did exactly w

  • The Wind Remembers You   Chapter 15

    Five years had passed.In Genvère, the International Medicine Prize ceremony was underway.Jonas walked up to the stage in a simple black suit.The scar on his left cheek had faded considerably. He made no effort to hide it and wore it openly, without a hint of shame.Under the spotlight, he accepted the award."This brain-computer interface technology was once stolen and misused, and it cost people their lives. But I want to say that science itself is not to blame. The blame lies in human greed and arrogance, in the rush for quick success, and in treating unfinished work as a tool for profit."The audience fell silent."Today, after five years of rigorous clinical validation, this technology has finally matured. It has already helped 137 patients with spinal cord injuries stand again, and it has helped 90 patients with aphasia speak again."He paused and looked into the camera."Today, we can finally tell everyone who paid the price for the progress of medical technology that

    Jonas' research had reached a new breakthrough, and he was in the middle of presenting the next generation of brain-computer interface technology.Suddenly, more than 20 people broke through security and stormed into the lab building, holding banners that read 'Killer Algorithm" and "Give Us Back Our Loved Ones'.They smashed equipment and grabbed hard drives.The lab door was forced open.The man leading them had bloodshot eyes. "Jonas Kimball! Your algorithm put my daughter in a vegetative state!"The people behind him held up their phones to livestream the scene. "Look, everyone! This is the man who invented that killer algorithm!"Jonas stood up and looked at them calmly. "The third stage of the algorithm has a 28% risk of misjudgment. I made the calls, I sent the letters, and I begged everyone to wait. Bastian Northcott stole an unfinished technology and forced it into use, and the hospitals ignored the warnings and—""Liar!" the man roared. "You researchers only care about

    Leona rushed over, grabbed Jonas' hand, and dropped to her knees in front of everyone in the airport terminal."Jonas, I was wrong—""Let go." Jonas' voice was ice cold.Leona did not let go, her eyes bloodshot. "I found out everything about Bastian! He faked the car accident, and he was the one who cut the brakes! I know everything now!"Jonas looked down at her. Her once beautiful face was haggard, and her eyes were red.He spoke slowly. "Leona, what gives you the right to show your face to me? Where were you the day Remy was locked in that dark room? Where were you the day I called the hospitals and begged them not to use the algorithm?"His voice began to shake. "On the day of our son's funeral, why were you at Bastian's ribbon-cutting?"Leona was trembling from head to toe."One last question." Jonas leaned down and stared into her eyes. "The brakes were cut on purpose, so why did you tell me to let it go? You knew it was sabotage. Why did you bury it? Why did you tell me

    Leona searched far and wide, but she could not find Jonas anywhere.She drank all day long, and her dreams were filled with her son's cries and Jonas's heart-wrenching screams.Her mental state began to fall apart. Night after night, she was trapped in her dreams, and when she woke up, her pillow was often soaked, though she could never tell whether it was from cold sweat or tears.The court enforced the divorce agreement between her and Jonas and made it official.On the day she received the final judgment, Leona sat alone in the empty house all night long.The once-untouchable Chalmers heiress had become a madwoman.Leona was slumped on the couch while the TV played the international news."Breaking news. The National Neuroscience Laboratory announced a major breakthrough today. Building on a deep optimization of a neural signal decoding algorithm, a team led by Dr. Jonas Kimball has developed a new generation of high-precision brain-computer interface systems. 'The system h

    Leona drove straight to Bastian's apartment.When the door opened, Bastian looked a little surprised. "Leona? It's so late."Leona slapped him across the face. Her voice was ice-cold when she spoke. "You were the one who cut the brakes. You killed my son."Bastian's pupils shrank.Her eyes were bloodshot as she continued, "Bastian, you're going to pay for this a hundred times over!"She had him committed to a psychiatric hospital.Three times a day, he was forcibly injected with sedatives. He was strapped to a restraint bed for 48 hours straight and made to watch the footage of himself drunkenly crashing into Leona's car over and over again.The tendons in his hands were severed so that he could not even hold a fork, and he was left to eat on the floor on all fours like a dog.Bastian was on the verge of losing his mind.A week later, Leona unexpectedly got him out and brought him straight backstage at a press conference."Apologize. If you get a single word wrong, I'll send

    "Leona, how could you say that to me? If it weren't for me back then—"When Bastian brought up how he had saved her life yet again, Leona raised a hand to cut him off."Enough."Bastian froze. For the first time in ten years, there was no guilt in Leona's eyes when she looked at him."Get out. I don't want to see you right now."She typed out a message on her phone without another word.[Look into Bastian Northcott. I want everything on the car accident ten years ago and my son's death, including every person involved and every last detail. Whatever it takes.]Priscilla worked quickly. Only three days later, the truth was dug up one shovelful at a time, like a rotting corpse dragged into the sunlight.A fresh search of the vehicles left near the original accident scene had turned up an old car that had been scrapped seven years earlier. Its dashcam still held some of its data.The footage showed that Bastian was the one who had hit her. He had staged the scene and then claimed
