Chapter 70: Howard's Choice
The first snow in 1991 came earlier than usual, and many major events occurred in this year, the first of which was that Howard, who was already old and frail, had a car accident, in which Howard finally died of his injuries, and the news immediately spread all over the streets, and the death of the famous scientist and entrepreneur became a topic of conversation after dinner.
I remember that in one of the largest hospitals in the Twist, a boxy Cadillac was parked in the parking lot of the hospital despite the scattered falling snow.
"Mr. Green!"
A man in a suit who had been waiting in front of the hospital for a long time trotted all the way to open the door of Cadillac's car, and in the car was a silver-haired Jonathan, although Jonathan was still in his twenties, but his hair was basically no black hair.
Jonathan's age has always been a mystery in the eyes of many people, and Jonathan has defended this issue, and it doesn't matter whether the public believes it or not.
In addition to the high-level executives of Stark Corporation in the corridor, there are also high-level executives of the United States and countries, and there are even some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in suits.
"Mr. Green!"
These people greeted Jonathan one by one, and Jonathan nodded in response, pushing open the innermost door of the hospital, and it was not Howard lying on the bed with less air and more air intake, and Howard was looking at a small fourteen-inch black and white TV in high spirits.
"Howard, have you decided?"
"Well, thank you very much for giving me a new life, so that I can still look at the sunshine in this world, I guessed right, you are really not an ordinary person......"
Jonathan has seen both the movies and the comics, and he knows that Howard will have a car accident in 1991, and after an investigation by S.H.I.E.L.D., the real reason for Howard's car accident is indeed because the Winter Soldier is secretly playing ghosts.
With Jonathan's time ability, it would be easy to save Howard, but Jonathan didn't expect Howard to let those newspapers report the news of his death. Howard's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to let go of all his baggage and simply enjoy the few moments of his life as an ordinary person.
What is life, Howard, who believes he has already died once, already understands the answer to this question.
Howard snuggled up on the white hospital bed and drank porridge in small sips, and praised the millet porridge brought by Jonathan, at this time Howard not only had gray hair, but also had countless scars engraved on his face by time: "I have seen a lot through life and death, I am old, and I will walk around this world and see the famous mountains and rivers in this world in the remaining time......"
"What about Tony, aren't you going to tell him the truth?"
"Jonathan, Howard in this world is dead, and I feel too tired of what weighs on me. And only Tony believes that I'm dead, this playboy who wanders all day knows what commitment is, Jonathan, you don't have a child, I want you to treat Tony as your own son, let him contribute to our Stark company, and Howard will disappear from this world forever. ”
Since this is Howard's choice, Jonathan has nothing to say, Howard, who is past his prime, wants to give up everything he has in the last ten years of his life and live a small life around the world, which can be regarded as another perception of life that he has experienced.
Howard is old and has a son, at this time Tony is still twenty years old, Tony was born with a golden soup key in his mouth since he was a child, and he has absorbed the influence of his Lao Tzu for many years, and his personality is not calm at this time.
Young Tony didn't know what family affection was, and he didn't cry when he heard the news of his father's departure.
"Kid, I'll take care of our Stark company for you first, and you also have to learn to run the company little by little, and this company will still be inherited to you in the future."
"Mr. Jonathan, don't you think it's too early for me to do this!"
Tony, the kid is still a little prick, and his sharp mouth is absolutely unforgiving.
It's just that Jonathan grew up watching Tony, and even when Tony was in the full moon, this kid peed on himself, and even the staff at the photo studio laughed when he looked at the funny photos that were washed out.
In the United States, even family members rarely care about the private affairs of adult children, and the relationship between Jonathan and Tony is not bad, every time he came to Howard's house when he was a child, this kid hugged his thigh and begged for gifts.
"Tony, it's your responsibility, and you can't get away with it."
Howard's "funeral" happened to be on the eve of the Spring Festival, and at Howard's "funeral", the Stark executives cried a lot, but Howard's brother and son seemed very calm.
Originally, Jonathan wanted to pick up Tony to the farm for the Spring Festival together, after all, Howard picked a child, and Tony was a lonely person, but when Jonathan saw that Tony was looking for a group of foreign girls at home to be happy in the indoor pool, Jonathan shrugged helplessly, and didn't bother to care about this kid.
Young Tony is ignorant on the one hand, Jonathan also sees a lot of sad elements in his eyes, everyone has a way to vent, some people eat, some people go on a trip, and some people just have a pure hi skin!
"Mr. Green, how's my bag?"
In Jonathan's farm, in addition to Christmas, there is also the Spring Festival, a lifetime of decades Jonathan still can't forget the yearning for the Spring Festival hidden in the deepest part of his memory, Jonathan has no childhood in this life, he is already an adult with a lifetime of experience.
In addition to Jane and Lady Emma, Jonathan also specially invited the White Queen and the Spirit Butterfly, and Jonathan has rarely interacted with the White Queen and the Spirit Butterfly, and the relationship between them is not deep.
Fortunately, the White Queen once rescued her at the Trask base and brought her back to her youth, and she has extremely special feelings for Jonathan.
If nothing else, if Jonathan has any special needs, the White Queen should not refuse.
"Mr. Green, you have such a beautiful bag!" Lingdie and the White Queen are still seeing Jonathan making dumplings for the first time, so when they look at the dining table, Jonathan's delicate dumplings like small ingots, they are full of praise for Jonathan, some things only know how difficult it is when they do it, they go to try to make dumplings to know, and they can only wrap the uneven boat.
At night, Jonathan, who stopped time, pushed open Jane's door, and he wanted to pull his pen out of Jane's diary, Jane had been sleeping late, so Jonathan was not worried about seeing anything that he shouldn't see, but after pushing the door open, Jonathan didn't think he was wrong.
Because the spirit butterfly lying on the bed was only wrapped in a layer of gauze, what should be covered and what should not be covered, did not cover it tightly, and the queen was eating grapes in a fruit bowl on the side, while Jane was smearing something on the drawing board.
"What kind of art is this......
