Chapter 1026 Shocking the Ordinary People (Part 3)
"At that time, I also had abilities beyond ordinary people, and I could cause fatal harm to others if I wasn't careful. After I lost control, I almost bit off the nurse's neck."
"She is just an ordinary person, and she is also older. Although she was rescued in time, she lost half her life. Perhaps, it will also affect her life span."
Robert turned his head slightly to look at Schiller, and his eyes regained some spirit. It seemed that the emotions in Schiller's tone made him listen to the story attentively.
Schiller pursed his lips and said, "My mental state was originally unstable, and I was stimulated. I almost caused a bigger accident, but fortunately it was stopped in time."
"After that, I put on a mask to prevent losing control again and biting others. I wore it voluntarily, and during that time, I refused anyone to take it off until the nurse came back to see me after her injury."
"I thought I would never see her again, but she came back and brought me a lot of things."
"When she was injured, she didn't shed a single tear, but when she saw me again, she hugged me Cried for two hours. "
Robert's arms began to tremble. He seemed to be able to feel Schiller's emotions at the time from Schiller's narration. Schiller looked into Robert's eyes and said:
"In this world, there are people who understand you and forgive you. The harm you expect to others may have been resolved by their own kindness. They don't need or want you to pay the price for it..."
With a "creak", the door of the ward was pushed open, and Steve, who had been listening at the door for a long time, walked in. Schiller immediately stood up and wanted to give him his seat.
But at this time, Robert on the bed began to tremble all over again.
Schiller turned around and controlled him with gray mist, but this time, Robert's loss of control was more severe than any other time. He activated his ability and hit the wall at a very fast speed, shaking the entire building of the sanatorium.
"Catch him!" Schiller shouted.
Steve instinctively wanted to throw the shield, but hesitated for a moment, rushed to Robert at the fastest speed, and pressed him to the ground before he flew out of the window. Schiller injected him with sedatives, and this time, he was completely unconscious and no longer made any sound.
Steve and Schiller carried Robert back to the bed. Steve looked at Robert's young face and said, "This is not his fault at all. He should not pay such a heavy price for this."
"Why are you here?" Schiller looked at him and asked.
"Last time you diagnosed that Bucky suffered from a certain degree of panic disorder, which may come from his psychological trauma. During the last review, he took some medicine, but the effect was not very good, so I wanted to come and ask if it is possible to change the prescription." Steve frowned.
"The nurse said you were here, so I came. I didn't expect that this child would become like this." Steve shook his head slowly.
"What are you doing here?" Another voice came from outside the door. Stark walked in swaggeringly and said to Schiller: "The station of the skytrain can only be set up behind the sanatorium, so it is inevitable that there will be noise. Otherwise, why don't you move your bedroom to another building? Isn't that much easier than destroying the overall plan?"
As soon as he walked in, he saw Robert lying on the bed. After resurrection, Stark specifically learned about the cause and effect of Schiller's plan, and naturally knew who this was. He took another look at Steve and knew what was going on.
"It's not his fault. He was controlled. Even if we take a step back, he also contributed to the advancement of the solar system development plan. He shouldn't be so miserable..." Steve's face turned a little bad. He looked at Schiller and said, "Can I tell him this in person?"
"What's going on now?" Stark frowned and asked, "This little guy killed you. Didn't you say before that your post-traumatic stress disorder relapsed because of the stimulation of the moment of death?"
Schiller immediately turned to look at Steve. Steve turned his head to one side and said, "That was before. It's all right now."
Although he acted like a tough guy, Schiller could still see that Steve was not in a good state. Schiller shook his head and said, "It seems that my plan at the beginning was a bit radical, but I remember that your mental state was very stable before, why did you suddenly..."
Steve rubbed his chin with his hand, lowered his eyes, looked down at his feet, and said: "Bucky is not in a good condition. He has been in a cycle of excitement and panic attacks. Ordinary drugs don't work very well..."
Stark snorted coldly. His tone and expression basically said "It's what he deserves". However, Steve looked at Robert on the bed and said: "Bucky is the same as Robert. They are controlled. They shouldn't pay such a heavy price..."
Stark was about to speak, and Steve continued: "But I can say this because I am still alive and can still stand here and tell him that he is not wrong. I won't care. I forgive him...but some people can't. "
Stark's expression froze, as if he had never expected Steve to say this, especially that he would say the last sentence.
Schiller seemed to have remembered something and said, "The dividing line between life and death is here. Only the living have the opportunity to forgive, and no one can forgive the dead. This will also lead to the fact that the two people made similar mistakes, but the punishments they received were very different."
At this time, Robert woke up slowly again. The sedatives did not have much effect on him. Steve immediately walked over, waved his hand in front of his eyes and said, "Can you see me? I am Captain America Steve Rogers. Don't be afraid. I'm still alive. Even if we both die, we will meet in heaven..."
"Listen, kid, you can recall the scene at that time, recall my last look..." Steve looked at Robert with his blue eyes and said, "I'm sure, which I'm afraid that I didn't hate you at the moment you killed me, because I know you didn't do it voluntarily. "
Robert stared at Steve blankly. After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and turned to look at Schiller. Schiller also stepped forward and said, "Since you regard Captain America as an idol, you should know how kind and tolerant he is..."
"Robert." Steve rested his hands on the railing of the bed and tilted his head to look at the name posted next to the bed. While calling Robert's name, he said to him, "Even if I really die, I won't hate you, and I don't want my death to make an innocent person who is controlled feel guilty for life."
Stark didn't express any opinion. He just stood behind the two of them and watched it all in silence.
If it was before, he would have rushed up with his fists, because at that time, he didn't know Steve, and after such a long time of getting along, Stark knew that Steve was really this kind of person.
There is a kind of people in this world who are good at forgiving everyone. Even if the murderer is not innocent, as long as they sincerely repent, they can get the forgiveness of such people, and it is a sincere and full forgiveness, and even the murderer can get their help afterwards.
Before meeting Steve, Stark never thought that there would be such people in the world, but Stark, who has studied psychology, knows that the previous death brought Steve far more mental stimulation than he showed.
After all, Steve originally had post-traumatic stress disorder in the war. Excessive pain and fear of facing death will make the condition worse. Some time ago, Stark found that Steve has been in a state of shock, but he is unwilling to show it.
But now, he forgave Robert so easily. Not only did he not care, he didn't even care about his own situation, but was anxious about Robert's condition.
Thinking of this, Stark's fingers moved. He thought of what Steve said to Robert. Before he died, there was no hatred for Robert in his eyes.
So what about his parents?
Stark admitted that he had been unwilling to face this matter and felt very resistant to all the information related to it, so he didn't know any details at all.
Although Steve pulled the trigger that time, proving his attitude, and the main contradiction between the two no longer existed, Stark still didn't accept it so easily.
But I have to admit that this time, Steve's behavior moved Stark again. Stark never imagined whether his parents were also noble people like Steve. Would they blame the murderer?
Thinking of this, Stark wanted to find out the truth, but he was unwilling to face the murderer. But at this moment, Schiller took out a notebook from the drawer of the bedside table, wrote a few lines on it, then tore off the page and handed it to Stark:
"You can build the station of the skytrain where you want, but the price is to run errands for me and deliver the prescription to the doctor downstairs."
After that, Schiller stopped looking at Stark, and after Stark took the prescription, he couldn't understand the drug name written on it, but he clearly saw the patient's name at the bottom of the prescription - Bucky Barnes.
Stark took the prescription and went downstairs. After handing the prescription to another doctor, he leaned on the edge of the counter and tapped the table with his fingers. The muscles around his nose loosened and his breathing rate increased a little.
Then he coughed twice and said quickly: "...Is there a call from the patient?"
"What?" The doctor didn't hear what he said clearly.
"I mean, do you have the patient's phone number? I... nothing... I just, I just have something to talk to him about..." Stark spoke incoherently, but the doctor understood what he meant. He saw Schiller's signature on the prescription and looked at Stark again. After a while, a note was handed out from the counter.
After getting the note, Stark put it in his pocket without even looking at the number on it. He stamped his feet on the spot, straightened his clothes, touched his hair on his forehead, and strode out the door as if nothing had happened.
But just as he walked to the door, he was knocked off balance by another figure who pushed the door in. Just as Stark was about to speak, he found that it was Strange, and he was not wearing the stupid wizard robe, but a suit.
But at this time, his condition was not good, his face was a little pale, and his expression was lost. Strange didn't even look at Stark, and went straight to the counter and asked: "Is Schiller here?"
"Dr. Schiller is making rounds. If you have an appointment... Oh, it's Mr. Strange, you can go upstairs to see him directly."
Seeing Strange's back hurried upstairs, Stark touched his pocket with his hand, paused for a moment, and then strode away.
When Strange found Schiller upstairs, Steve had gone downstairs to get medicine. Schiller, standing by Robert's bed, looked at Strange, who was in a bad state, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Strange took a deep breath, smiled uglier than crying, and said: "...Do you have a discount for psychotherapy?"
Schiller shook his head, but still said: "There is no discount for psychotherapy, but chatting between friends is free, come with me."
Schiller took Strange to the nearby clinic and sat down. As soon as Strange sat down, the fingers of both hands were twisted together. Schiller was about to speak when he saw Strange's eyes were red and he said in a trembling voice:
"The Presbyterian Hospital just issued a critical illness notice to my father...but he doesn't want to see me."
