Chapter 1096: Father and Son (25)
"Hello, Dr. Schiller, meet again."
Howard, who looked a little dusty, stepped forward and shook Schiller's hand, he smiled and said, "Originally, I was in the main planet of the Brimstone Dwarf, the security robot made for Tony, to renew it, but as soon as I heard that you were coming, I hurried back......"
Schiller smiled and said, "I shouldn't have delayed any major things, right?" ”
Howard shook his head and followed Schiller's guidance to the couch next to the office, and after Howard sat down, Schiller walked to the cabinet and asked, "Tea, coffee, or wine?" ”
"Anything but wine." Howard unbuttoned his suit, leaned back on the couch in a comfortable position, and said, "I have sworn to Maria that I will never drink again." ”
Schiller brought two thin champagne glasses, put them in front of Howard, and said: "I don't recommend that patients with addiction disorders make a cliff withdrawal, which may increase the likelihood of a recurrence of mental addiction, and if it is not life-threatening, you can try to withdraw in stages." ”
Howard looked a little hesitant, he reached out and just touched the cup, and then he took it back like an electric shock, he shook his head and said, "No, I need to stay awake, I can't handle work when I'm drunk." ”
Schiller did not put away his glass, but did not pour himself wine, but brought a jug of water and poured cold water into a champagne glass.
Before he could speak, Howard explained, as if making up for it, "Of course, the work is not difficult, it doesn't require me to concentrate too much, it's just repetitive work......"
"I've heard Tony say for a long time that you're the founder of Stark Industries, and I'd love to talk to such a great scientist." Schiller took a glass of champagne, took a sip of water, and said:
"I know a lot of people are nervous about being a psychiatrist, and they feel like if they step into this office, they're mentally ill, oh my God, can't I be a little bit other than a doctor?"
Schiller raised his hand, showed a helpless smile, and said: "I actually prefer the relationship between doctors and patients to the relationship between doctors and patients, although I am Tony's friend, but speaking of which, we should be people of the old age......"
"I've heard about it for a long time, and it's amazing." Howard looked at Schiller's gray eyes and said, "Actually, I know that there are all kinds of capable people in this world, and they have powers that ordinary people don't understand, but it's the first time I've been friends with an immortal. ”
"Oh, you're so humble, Captain America and Natasha are actually immortals, but they can't live forever, and neither do I." Schiller shook his head.
"I guess the longer life experience than others should help you a lot in your career, right?" Howard took the initiative to talk about Schiller's career.
Schiller could sense that Stark Sr. was more talkative than his son, but it was not surprising that Tony Stark was more of a scientist, but Howards Tucker was still a businessman after all.
Although, in those days, Stark Industries had not yet developed into the behemoth it is today, it is undeniable that this founder had more comprehensive abilities than Tony. ,
"Actually, like Natasha, we didn't wake up after many years of sleep, but we witnessed the changes of the times."
Schiller put down the wine glass in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth gently, and said: "This is good and bad, this is richer than others, bringing me more professional experience, but it also wears away my sensitivity and inspiration." ”
"For psychiatrists, inspiration is not too important, we follow logical analysis, but for a scientist, the inspiration for invention is still very important, so a younger mental age is an advantage, isn't it?" Schiller said as he looked at Howard.
The muscles in the corners of Howard's eyes twitched, and the slightest change was very faint, but it was still caught by Schiller.
Unlike Tony Stark, who likes to write all emotions on his face, Howard is quite good at hiding his emotions, he doesn't have any superfluous movements, just smiles and says,
"That's right, looking at what Tony and the young people of his generation have created, I really feel deeply that every era has a genius, and every era has its own brilliance, which makes me feel both happy and sad......"
"I'm listening." Schiller spoke.
He has discovered that Howard is the kind of patient that psychiatrists like the most, and they are well aware of the preciousness of their own and the doctor's time, and they don't like to talk too much nonsense, let alone go around in circles to hide their pain.
They are efficient, goal-oriented, and don't like to waste any part of their time on meaningless nonsense.
Since they have walked into the psychiatrist's office, they are coming to see a doctor, and they will do their best to explain their situation clearly without the guidance of the doctor, and they hope that the doctor can understand their situation more than the doctor himself.
People like Peter and Clarke, when facing a psychiatrist, prefer to express their emotions, such as "I've been happy lately" or "I've been sad lately", and at most they will say why they're happy or why they're sad.
But people like Howard like to start from facts, talk about logic and facts, and analyze the contradictions in their inner state with psychologists, which can be said to be all-round automatic diagnosis and treatment, which is quite time-saving and labor-saving.
But Schiller did not show any relaxed posture, on the contrary, he straightened up and sat more straight than Howard, because he knew very well that this kind of patient was good anywhere, but the level of the doctor was too high.
Such a person has a deep understanding of his own situation, and before coming to see a doctor, he has even sorted out the context of all things through self-analysis, found the key points, and even analyzed some conclusions in combination with his own personality.
If the doctors are not good enough, the speed of reasoning is too slow, the logic is too cumbersome, and they can't compare to their own reasoning, then they will definitely turn around and leave, and they will not waste time here.
Any patient who is so rational and intelligent is a great test of the professionalism of the psychiatrist.
Schiller began to concentrate, and Howard began his own story:
"I am very happy that the future of humanity is better than I imagined."
"Maybe you know, doctor, in the Cold War years, many people were very pessimistic, we don't know when a terrible war will break out, we don't know when, peaceful life will be over......"
"But when I woke up, I found that not only did not fight the third and fourth world wars, but mankind was united and wanted to move towards the universe, and this is not just a slogan, many plans have been implemented, and even good results have been achieved."
"Human beings set foot in the solar system, touch the sun, and even look deeper into the cosmic starry sky, and in addition to the vigorous development of science and technology, human beings have actually walked out of the road of magic, there is no doubt that this greatly increases the fault tolerance rate of our development, the two roads go hand in hand, you chase me, will be the best healthy competition."
"In terms of diplomacy, I heard that Asgard has close contacts with us, and I really didn't expect that the kingdom in myths and stories has become an ally of mankind, and their new king has a very close relationship with mankind, and even has the experience of living on Earth, which will be the best bargaining chip for the future diplomacy of our civilization......"
"Without a doubt, this is the best time I've ever seen, and I couldn't sleep for a few days when I was excited about it......" Howard's fingertips trembled a little, and as he spoke, he entered a state of euphoria.
Then, he gently picked up the wine glass and took a sip of cold water, only to ease up a little, and his mood gradually sank.
"But I also feel a little sad, that's why I'm coming to you, doctor, I don't know why I'm sad, but there are some speculations, do you want to hear about it?"
Schiller nodded and said, "Of course, in addition to speculation, you can also focus on feelings and emotions, which can also be used as an important factor for reference......
Howard nodded, signaling that he understood, and he also felt a little nervous, so he put down his glass, sat up straight, and said:
"On the first night after the resurrection, Maria and I celebrated, and we were both very emotional, I really didn't expect that the life we thought ended in regret would have the opportunity to start over, and no one would not be happy for a second life."
"At dinner, we both drank a little bit of wine, of course, not much, Maria couldn't drink too much, and she was worried that I would get drunk, so we only drank half a bottle of champagne, but after that, we were all more drunk than anyone else",
"After the excited chat, we both felt a little tired, Maria and I were lying in bed, but we couldn't sleep for a long time, after a while, she started crying, I know, she was sorry for missing Tony's growth......",
"But at that moment, I found that I was powerless to comfort him, because an indescribable negative emotion rose from my heart."
"I guess it may be guilt, the decision I made hurt Maria and hurt Tony."
Howard slowly closed his eyes, his face showed a hint of pain, and he said: "Between family and the world, I didn't choose a family, I think I've always been a good person, but I'm not a good husband and father......"
"How can I enjoy my new life with peace of mind? Could it be that the previous sins could be reversed by doing it all over again? "Howard isn't asking Schiller more like he's asking himself.
"If you don't take responsibility when you should be responsible, and then pay ten times the compensation, can you make up for it?"
Howard slowly leaned back on the couch again, looking a little decadent, and said, "Of course not, everyone only misses every stage of their life once." There is no way to recover it. ”
"Maria and I should have accompanied Tony, watched him happily go to college, finished his studies happily, and met like-minded friends and research partners in college......"
"Tony should have been learning to behave with me, socializing with my old friends and their children, learning about business step by step, and slowly building up his personality and social style, just like I learned from my father."
Howard's words were always restrained, cautious, and polite, and although he didn't die much older than Tony now, he seemed a hundred times more mature than Tony now.
"Some people say I'm a jerk, a playboy who doesn't do business," Howard laughed and said, "That's just because it's the social style I've built and I need that style to give me an edge in business." ”
"But Tony......" Howard shook his head and said, "From now on, he really had a long chaotic and decadent life......"
"And this is actually due to the lack of family education, the lack of parental care, especially ...... Lacking his father's words and deeds to him. ”
