Chapter 1096 Father and Son (Twenty-Five)

"Hello, Dr. Schiller, nice to see you again."

Howard, who looked a little tired, walked up and shook hands with Schiller. He smiled and said, "Originally, I was on the main planet of the sulfur dwarves, upgrading the security robots made for Tony, but when I heard that you were here, I hurried back..."

Schiller smiled and said, "I don't think you missed anything important, right?"

Howard shook his head and followed Schiller's instructions to the sofa next to the office. After Howard sat down, Schiller walked to the cabinet and asked, "Tea, coffee or wine?"

"Anything except wine." Howard unbuttoned his suit and leaned on the sofa in a comfortable posture. On the backrest, he said, "I have sworn to Maria that I will never drink again."

Schiller brought two thin champagne glasses and placed them in front of Howard, saying, "I do not recommend patients with addiction to abstinence, as it may increase the possibility of psychological addiction recurring. If it is not life-threatening, you can try phased abstinence."

Howard seemed a little hesitant. He stretched out his hand and just touched the glass, and then he took it back as if he had been electrocuted. He shook his head and said, "No, I need to stay sober. I can't handle work if I'm drunk."

Schiller did not put away the glass, but he did not pour himself a glass of wine. Instead, he brought a pot of water and poured the cold water into the champagne glass.

Before he could speak, Howard explained as if to make 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 that you are the founder of Stark Industries. I'm very happy to talk to such a great scientist." Schiller took a sip of water with a champagne glass, and then said:

"I know that many people are nervous about facing a psychiatrist. They feel that as long as they step into this office, they will become a mental patient. Oh, God, can't I have an identity other than a doctor?"

Schiller raised his hand, showing He gave a helpless smile and said, "Compared to the doctor-patient relationship, I actually prefer the friendship. Although I am Tony's friend, we should be people of the same generation..."

"I've heard about it a long time ago. It's really amazing." Howard looked at Schiller's gray eyes and said, "In fact, I know that there are all kinds of talented people in this world who have powers that ordinary people don't understand. However, this is the first time I've made friends with an immortal."

"Oh, you are so humble. Captain America and Natasha are actually immortals, but they can't live forever. I am the same." Schiller shook his head.

"I think that a longer life experience than others should have provided a lot of help for your career, right?" Howard took the initiative to talk about topics related to Schiller's career.

Schiller could feel that the old Stark was much more talkative than his son, but it was not surprising. Tony Stark was more inclined to be a scientist, but Howard Stark was still a businessman after all.

Although, in that era, Stark Industries had not yet developed into the behemoth it is today, it is undeniable that the founder has more comprehensive abilities than Tony. ,

"In fact, I am like Natasha. We did not suddenly wake up after sleeping for many years, but witnessed the changes of the times with our own eyes."

Schiller put down the wine glass in his hand, gently wiped the corner of his mouth, and then said: "This has both good and bad. A richer life experience than others has brought me more professional experience, but it has also worn away my sharpness and inspiration."

"For psychologists, inspiration is not too important. We follow logical analysis more. But for a scientist, the inspiration of invention and creation is still very important. Therefore, a younger psychological age has advantages, isn't it?" Schiller looked at Howard and said.

The muscles at the corners of Howard's eyes twitched. This slight change was very weak, but it was still captured by Schiller.

Unlike Tony Stark, who likes to show all his emotions on his face, Howard is very good at hiding his emotions. He didn't make any extra movements, but just smiled and said:,

"Yes, looking at what Tony and the young people of his generation have created, I really feel deeply that every era has geniuses, and the world of every era has its own brilliance, which makes me feel both happy and sad..."

"I'm listening." Schiller said.

He has discovered that Howard is the kind of patient that psychiatrists like most. They know the preciousness of their own and the doctor's time, and don't like to talk too much nonsense, and are even more unwilling to go around in circles to cover up their pain.

They value efficiency and have clear goals. They don't like to waste any time on meaningless nonsense.

Since they have entered the psychiatrist's office, they are here to see a doctor. They don't need the doctor's guidance. They will do their best to explain their situation clearly, and hope that the doctor can understand their situation more than the doctor himself.

People like Peter and Clark prefer to express their emotions when facing psychiatrists, such as "I am very happy recently" or "I am very sad recently". At most, they will talk about why they are happy or why they are sad.

But people like Howard like to start from facts, talk about logic and facts, and analyze the contradictions of their inner state with the psychologist. It can be said that it is an all-round automatic diagnosis and treatment, which saves time and effort.

But Schiller did not show any relaxation. On the contrary, he straightened his body and sat straighter than Howard, because he knew very well that this kind of patient was good in every way, but the level of the doctor was too high.

Such people have a deep understanding of their own situation. Before seeing a doctor, they have even sorted out the context of all things through self-analysis, found the key points, and even analyzed part of the conclusions based on their own personality.

If the doctor's level is not enough, the reasoning speed is too slow, the logic is too complicated, and it is not as good as their own reasoning, then they will definitely turn around and leave, and will not waste time here.

Any patient who is so rational and intelligent is a great test of the professional level of the psychologist.

Schiller began to concentrate, and Howard had already started his own story:

"I am very happy that the future of mankind is better than I thought."

"Perhaps you also know, doctor, during the Cold War, many people were very pessimistic. We didn't know when a terrible war would break out, and we didn't know when our peaceful life would end..."

"But when I woke up, I found that not only did humans not fight the Third or Fourth World War, but they united together and wanted to move towards the universe. And this is not just shouting slogans. Many plans have been implemented and have even achieved remarkable results."

"Humans have set foot in the solar system, touched the sun, and even looked forward to the deeper universe and stars, and in science and technology In addition to the booming development, humans have also embarked on the path of magic. There is no doubt that this has greatly increased the tolerance rate of our development. The two paths go hand in hand and chase each other, which will be the best healthy competition. "

"In terms of diplomacy, I heard that Asgard has close contacts with us. I really didn't expect that the country in the mythology has become an ally of mankind. Their new king has a very close relationship with humans and even has experience living on Earth. This will be the best bargaining chip for the future diplomacy of our civilization..."

"Without a doubt, this is the best era I have ever seen. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for a few days..." Howard's fingertips trembled a little. As he narrated, he entered a state of excitement again.

Then, he gently picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of cold water. Only then did he recover a little, and his mood gradually became depressed.

"But I also feel a little sad, which is why I came to see you, doctor. I don't know why I am sad, but I have some speculations. Do you want to hear them?"

Schiller nodded and said, "Of course, in addition to speculations, you can also focus on feelings and emotions, which can also be used as an important reference factor..."

Howard nodded, indicating that he understood. He also felt a little nervous, so he put down the wine glass, sat up straight, and said:

"On the first night after resurrection, Maria and I celebrated. We were both very emotional. We never thought that we would have the opportunity to start over again after a life that we thought ended in regret. No one would not be happy for a second life."

"During dinner, we both drank a little wine, of course, not much. Maria couldn't drink too much and was worried that I would get drunk, so we only drank half a bottle of champagne, but afterwards, we were both drunker than anyone else."

"After the exciting chat, we both felt a little tired. Maria and I lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After a while, she began to cry. I knew that she felt sorry for missing Tony's growth...",

"But at that time, I found that I was powerless to comfort him, because an indescribable negative emotion rose from my heart."

"I guess this may be guilt. The decision I made at the time hurt Maria and Tony."

Howard slowly closed his eyes, his face showing a trace of pain. He said: "Between family and the world, I did not choose family. I think I have been a good person from beginning to end, but I am not a good husband and father..."

"How can I enjoy my new life with peace of mind? Can the previous sins be offset by starting over again?" Howard did not seem to be asking Schiller, but more like asking himself.

"If you didn't take responsibility when you should, can you make up for it by paying ten times the reward later?"

Howard slowly leaned back on the sofa again, looking a little decadent. He said, "Of course not. There is only one chance for each stage in everyone's life. If you miss it, you can never get it back."

"Maria and I should have accompanied Tony, watched him go to college happily, finished his studies happily, met like-minded friends in college, and scientific research partners..."

"Tony should have followed me to learn how to behave, communicate with my old friends and their children, learn business affairs step by step, and slowly build his own personality and social style, just like I learned from my father."

Howard's words always seemed restrained, cautious and polite. Although he was not much older than Tony now when he died, he seemed a hundred times more mature than Tony now.

"Some people say I'm a jerk, a playboy who doesn't do his job properly." Howard smiled and said, "That's just because this is the social style I have established. I need this style to help me gain an advantage in the business world."

"But Tony..." Howard shook his head and said, "From now on, he really spent a long period of chaotic and decadent days..."

"And this actually stems from the lack of family education, the lack of parental care, and especially... the lack of his father's teachings to him."
