The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1098 Father and Son (25)
"Hello, Dr. Schiller, we meet again."

Howard, who looked a bit dusty, stepped forward, shook hands with Schiller, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was on the main star of the brimstone dwarves, and I was updating the security robot made for Tony, but when I heard that you were coming , I hurried back..."

Schiller smiled and said, "Shouldn't there be any major delays?"

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

"Anything is fine except wine." Howard unbuttoned his suit, leaned on the back of the sofa 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 addictions undergo a cliff-like withdrawal, which may increase the possibility of psychological addiction recurrence. If it is not life-threatening, you can try phased withdrawal."

Howard seemed a little hesitant. He stretched out his hand and just touched the cup, then retracted it like an electric shock. He shook his head and said, "No, I need to stay sober. I can't cope with work when I'm drunk."

Schiller didn't put away the glass, but he didn't pour the wine for himself either. Instead, he brought a jug of water and poured cold water into the champagne glass.

Before he could speak, Howard explained as if he was looking for a fix: "Of course, the work is not difficult. It doesn't require me to concentrate too much. It's just some repetitive work..."

"I've heard Tony say a long time ago that you are the founder of Stark Industries, and I would be very happy to chat with such a great scientist." Schiller took a sip of water while holding a champagne glass, and then said:

"I know a lot of people are nervous about facing a psychiatrist, thinking that if they step into this office, they're mentally ill. Oh, my God, can't I be a little bit more than a doctor?"

Schiller raised his hand, showed a helpless smile, and said, "Compared with the doctor-patient relationship, I actually prefer the friendship relationship. Although I am Tony's friend, speaking of it, we should be people of the same age... ..."

"I've heard about it a long time ago. It's really amazing." Howard looked into Schiller's gray eyes and said, "Actually, I know that there are all kinds of capable people and strange people in this world who have mastered things that ordinary people don't understand. power, but this is the first time I have made friends with an immortal."

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

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

Schiller can feel that this old Stark can talk more than his son, but it is not surprising that Tony Stark is more inclined to be a scientist, but Howards Tucker is still a businessman after all.

Although, at that time, Stark Industries had not yet developed into the behemoth it is today, but it is undeniable that the founder had more comprehensive abilities than Tony.

"Actually, I am the same as Natasha. We did not wake up suddenly 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, wiped the corner of his mouth lightly, and said: "There are good and bad, richer life experience than others, which brought me more professional experience, but it also wears down my life experience. Sharp and inspired."

"For a psychiatrist, inspiration is not very important. We follow logical analysis, but for a scientist, inspiration for invention and creation is still very important. Therefore, a younger mental age has an advantage , isn't it?" Schiller said, looking at Howard.

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

Unlike Tony Stark who likes to write all his emotions on his face, Howard is quite good at hiding his emotions. He didn't make any extra movements, just smiled and said:
"That's right, looking at the things created by Tony and the young people of his generation, I really feel deeply that there are geniuses in every era, and the world in every era has its own brilliance. 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 time and the doctor's time, and they don't like to talk too much nonsense, and they are not willing to go around in circles to cover up their illness.

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

Now that they have entered the psychiatrist's office, they are here to see a doctor. They don't need a doctor's guidance, they will try their best to explain their situation clearly, and they 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 a psychologist, such as "very happy recently" or "sad recently", at most they will talk about why they are happy or sad.

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

But Schiller did not show any relaxed posture. On the contrary, he straightened his body and sat up straighter than Howard, because he knew very well that this kind of patient was good everywhere, but the level of doctors was too high.

Such people have a deep understanding of their own situation. Before coming to see a doctor, they have even sorted out the context of everything through self-analysis, found the key points, and even combined their own personality to analyze part of the conclusion.

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

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

Schiller began to concentrate, and Howard had already begun his narrative:
"It makes me very happy that the future of humanity is better than I thought."

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

"But when I woke up, I found that instead of fighting the third and fourth world wars, human beings have united together and wanted to march towards the universe, and this is not just slogans, many plans have been implemented. Even good results have been achieved.”

"Humans have set foot in the solar system, touched the sun, and even looked into the deeper cosmic starry sky. Besides the vigorous development of science and technology, human beings have also walked out of the path of magic. There is no doubt that this has greatly increased the fault tolerance rate of our development. All roads go hand in hand, and you chase each other, which will be the best healthy competition."

"In terms of diplomacy, I heard that Asgard has a close relationship with us. I really didn't expect that the kingdom in the fairy tales has become an ally of humans. Their new king has a very close relationship with humans. The experience of life, this will be the best bargaining chip for our civilized future diplomacy..."

"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, and he entered a kind of excited state as he told the story state.

Then, he gently picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the ice-cold water, and then he recovered a little bit, and his mood gradually sank.

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

Schiller nodded and said, "Of course, in addition to speculation, we can also focus on feelings and emotions. This part can also be used as an important factor for reference..."

Howard nodded, indicating that he understood. 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. Both of us were very emotional. I really didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to start over from the beginning after we thought that our life ended in regret. No one would disagree. Happy to have a second life."

"At dinner, we both drank a little wine. Of course, we didn't drink 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 both Drunk more than anyone else..."

"After the excited chat, both of us felt a little tired. Maria and I lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After a while, she started crying. I know, she felt that she missed Tony's growth. Pity……"

"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 back then hurt Maria and also hurt Tony."

Howard slowly closed his eyes, with a trace of pain on his face, he said: "Between family and the world, I did not choose family. I think I am a good person from beginning to end, but I am not a good husband and a good husband." Father……"

"How can I enjoy a new life with peace of mind? Can I do it all over again, and the previous sins can be offset?" Howard didn't seem to be asking Schiller, but more like asking himself.

"If you don't take responsibility when you should be responsible, can you make up for it by paying ten times the compensation later?"

Howard slowly leaned his body on the sofa again, looking a little decadent. He said: "Of course not. Everyone has only one time at each stage of their life. If you miss it, you can never get it back."

"Maria and I were supposed to accompany Tony, watching him go to college happily, finish his studies happily, meet like-minded friends in college, and partners in scientific research..."

"Tony should have followed me to learn how to deal with people, socialize with my old friends and their children, learn business affairs step by step, and slowly build up his own personality and social style, just like me The same as I learned from my father."

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

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

"But Tony..." Howard shook his head and said, "From now on, he has 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, especially... the lack of his father's precepts and deeds."
