"PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a mental illness."

"I know this, but why would Tony have this disease." Pepper's voice on the other end of the phone was puzzled and worried.

"I tried to get Tony to talk about what happened to him in Afghanistan just now, and he avoided it."

Martha sat back on the couch, "whether he was hurt or helped."

"He subconsciously doesn't think about those things, but those things will always be with him."

"I suspect that he saw the death of the person who helped him, and even indirectly caused the death of that person. Remembering that man's death."

"The initial symptom of PTSD is to escape, but he can only escape in front of others, but he cannot escape from his own heart."

"Fortunately, Tony has a strong heart. These are the initial symptoms, but his pride prevents him from admitting that he is sick. So, Miss Pepper, you may need to find a psychiatrist and show Tony privately."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then there was a burst of typing, "Okay, I understand. I will find a doctor in private, and I will not tell anyone to the public, and I hope you will not disclose it to anyone. "

Pepper's voice was steady and powerful, and she had regained her elite status.

"Naturally, I will keep it a secret."

"We've known each other for so long, can I call you Martha?" Pepper said lightly, "Of course, please also call me Pepper."

"I'd love to, Pepper."

"Well, Martha," Pepper said, "can you tell me how you know about this disease?"

Martha smiled, and was not displeased with Pepper's questioning, "Do you know my first adoptive mother, Mary Luke?"

After getting a positive answer, Martha continued: "She was a military doctor during World War II. You know, this disease is very common in the army, and many people finally commit suicide because of their inner condemnation. When I was young, Those veterans of World War II would come to visit Mary sometimes, and they always told me stories like this."

"Oh, sorry," Pepper said, "Those soldiers are really strong."

"Yes, I used to love listening to their stories, especially Captain America."

"Haha, that's a national idol!" Pepper laughed and said, "It's getting late, you should go and rest."

Martha looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, "Okay, Pepper, you go to rest too, don't be too busy to damage your body."

Afterwards, the two said good night to each other and hung up the phone.

At this time, it was very late to go home, and Martha thought about it and stayed, washed up briefly, and lay down on the bed.Alas, I said before that I didn't want to live here, but now I'm lying on someone else's bed.

Martha didn't like to lie to others, but she had to lie to others about her parentage.Everyone else is fine, since it is about Tony, Martha always has a guilty conscience. At first, she hopes to keep a distance from Tony, but after seeing Tony, she always wants to do something for him to make up for it.

If, one day, Tony understands how Martha got here, the current good relationship will collapse in an instant.Martha gave a wry smile and buried her head in the quilt.

Although she didn't go to bed early last night, the powerful biological clock still woke Martha up at 7 o'clock.

In the early morning, the Stark Building was quiet. Following Jarvis's cordial greetings, Martha got up neatly and finished washing quickly.

A simple breakfast is already on the table.

"Jarvis, if I sleep here next time and I have classes the next day, remember to remind me to set the alarm earlier."

Martha looked at the dead phone, "And remind me to charge it."

"Okay, Martha."

When Martha ran all the way to the school, Pepper took the psychiatrist to Stark Building on time.

There are fewer classes on Friday, but unfortunately it is the math teacher's class again.

The math teacher looked dissatisfied at Martha who was late again, "Do you have any opinion on me, Miss Luke?"

"no!"

"Every time I'm late for class, do you think your math grades can be used for class?"

"No, no." Martha said with her head down, "I'm sorry, next time, no, there will be no next time."

"If there is a next time, then Miss Luke can only take this course again."

Just record 0 points directly, Martha heard it very clearly, and hurriedly ensured that there would never be a next time, so the teacher let Martha into the classroom.

When Martha sat down next to Peter, Peter immediately comforted Martha, "Don't worry, you won't get your graduation certificate if you fail to retake it three times."

Martha looked at Peter quietly, expressing with her eyes, what kind of comfort is this, huh? !

There are very few classes on Friday afternoon, and Peter and Ned have no interest group activities to participate in on Friday, so the three initially set Friday afternoon as their activity day.

It's called an activity day, but it's actually an empty classroom, Martha does homework, and Peter and Ned play with Lego or computers.

"I said it all, it's not playing computer games, it's programming, programming!"

Ned retorted, and Martha shrugged, "Anyway, you are so good, isn't it just like playing?"

"Well, it makes sense." Ned stroked his chin and nodded seriously.

Peter ignored the two, sat on the table, dangling his legs, blatantly distracted.

"Hey buddy, what are you thinking?"

"Well, nothing."

"Thinking about Liz again? Hehe."

Ned let out an obscene laugh, and Peter blushed, but made no rebuttal.

"Liz, girl's name, is there anything wrong with you, Peter?"

Martha looked up and down at Peter's small body, "It's ok, I'm leaving the order so early."

"No!" Peter said in a panic, "She doesn't know at all, and I haven't confessed to her yet."

It turned out that he was still in unrequited love. The adolescent boy was really restless.

Regardless of Peter, Martha took the homework and ran to Ned, "How do you do this physics problem?"

"You two help me figure out a way." Peter scratched his head and squatted in front of the two of them.

Ned ignored him and continued to lecture Martha, "This, current, that, resistance, and then series, so, do you understand?"

"Oh, I see." Martha took the pen, scribbled on the paper, and was pleasantly surprised by the result.

"Thank you Xueba!"

"You're welcome." Ned proudly raised his head at 45 degrees.

"Hey!" Peter snatched Martha's homework, "Martha, you are a girl, please give me some advice, what do you usually like?"

Seeing Peter's eager eyes, Martha shrank back and scratched her face with her fingers, "Maybe it's painting, and cooking is also a hobby."

"Would you like it if I gave you painting tools or recipes?"

"The painting tools are okay, let's forget about the recipes." Martha was very embarrassed to be Peter's love mentor, and frequently winked at Ned.Ned pretended not to see it.

"Oh, that's right. The menu is too shabby." Peter nodded secretly.

"But the most important thing is, would Liz like you like this?" Ned said coolly on the side, hitting Peter instantly.

"Yeah, will she like me? I'm weak, short, with eyes, not handsome at all..."

Martha saw that the shadow on Peter's body was so heavy that it was about to change the style of the whole show, so she had no choice but to say, "Peter, you have good grades, you are kind and have a sense of justice, you often help your classmates, and you look very gentle and handsome with your eyes !"

thumbs up.

"Thank you, Martha!" Peter hummed and hugged Martha immediately, and Martha had no choice but to pat Peter's back lightly.

"You bastard, if you don't help, you know how to make sarcastic remarks." Peter let go of Martha, and hammered Ned twice.

Ned didn't run very far, took two hard blows, and said, "Dude, tell me, I'll help you with anything you want!"

After arguing with the two of them for a while, Martha finished her homework and said goodbye to the two of them when she saw that it was almost time to go to work.

Boss Mi Ke expressed his understanding that Martha didn't come to ask for leave yesterday, but the other girl on the day shift was very upset, because Martha didn't come yesterday, so she had a lot more things to do.

Martha expressed apologies to both of them, and Martha tried her best to help with the girl's affairs. When the girl got off work, the gap between the two was smoothed out.

For the boss, Martha can only work harder to promote the bread in the store, sell one more, and generate more income for the store.

9:[-], get off work on time.

Martha packed up her things and said goodbye to her boss.

Not far from the shop, a black commercial vehicle was parked beside it.

Martha took a few more glances, and saw that the car window was lowered, and it turned out to be Pepper inside.

Pepper waved to Martha, opened the car door, and let Martha get in the car.

"You didn't get through, and Jarvis said your phone was dead, so I just came over," Pepper said.

"Sorry, I didn't notice it was running out of battery yesterday, it just shut down today."

"Pepper, what do you want me to do?"

"It's like this. Today I took the doctor to see Tony. Of course, I told Tony to check his wounds. But Tony was very sensitive to some questions asked by the doctor. Not only did he not answer, but in the end he doubted the doctor's identity. Is it a reporter? Pretend to get news."

"Then, he was kicked out." Pepper said helplessly, "but the doctor did say that Tony may have PTSD. But he is too sensitive, and many treatments simply cannot be used for him."

"In the end, the doctor gave some suggestions, the most important of which is to have someone to accompany you."

"It reassures the patient to have someone around him."

"So," Pepper looked at Martha, "can you live in Stark Tower and stay with Tony for a while?"
