"Stephen, you don't have any savings anymore. The previous surgery costs were all paid for by overdrawing credit. Let alone 200,000, you can't even get 50,000. Steve, let's give up."

"No, now is not the time to give up! Giving up means the end of my career!"

"Stephen, you should know the current level of medical technology. You are no longer treating diseases. Life without a career is still life!"

Palmer found that Stephen had begun to get stuck in a dead end, or Stephen had not been able to accept the fact that he was no longer a doctor.

"Can life without a career be meaningful?" Stephen roared.

"There are always some things in life that are more meaningful..." Palmer wanted to persuade Stephen.

"More meaningful? Are you talking about you?" Stephen asked in embarrassment and determination.

There has always been an ambiguity between Stephen and Palmer that both sides knew about. If everything had gone well, perhaps the two could have come together smoothly. But Stephen's life is now falling apart. Unable to control his emotions, Stephen vents his anger on Palmer.

"Stephen, you should apologize to me!"

"Why don't you just leave now?!"

"Okay, I'll leave if that's the case. I can't stand seeing you like this anyway."

"Really? Can't stand it?"

"Yes! My heart is almost broken when I see you in such a state! I feel so bad!"

"I don't need you to pity me! Christine Palmer!"

"I don't pity you--" Palmer also noticed that Stephen's mood was not right and was already accommodating Stephen, but Stephen became more aggressive and even began to attack the relationship between the two parties.

"You are just pitying me! Do you like to watch tragedies? How about it? Now my life is a complete tragedy! Are you satisfied now? Look, the tragic Stephen needs your rescue, and our great Christine has saved another lost person - do you want me to praise you?"

"Stephen, you are simply unreasonable. Goodbye." With a click, Christine turned and left, leaving Strange alone sitting in the empty apartment.

Three days later, Strange still plucked up the courage and made a call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Tony Stark? I am Stephen Strange..."

...

Stark Tower. Strange finally called Tony Stark for help, not for anything else, just because when the two of them were dealing with each other, Tony said that if he had any difficulties in the future, he could come to him, so Strange finally came to Stark Tower.

"Hello, Mr. Strange, I still remember you, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to meet me. What happened? I'm sorry you look like this..." Tony was a little more tactful this time, after all, Strange's sloppy appearance this time was too different from the elite doctor's appearance before.

Just from the way Strange was dressed, Strange now looked obviously frustrated.

"It's a long story. Some time ago, I was in a car accident while attending a neurology conference. My body and hands were severely injured. Now my hands have problems and I can't continue to be a doctor. I came here to seek your help - I need money to continue surgery to cure my hands."

Just when Strange explained his experience, Tony had even obtained Strange's medical records by hacking into the system of the New York Hospital.

"Is this your case?" Tony projected Strange's case picture directly onto the wall, which had a clear diagnosis record of the hospital doctor, and the conclusion clearly stated: the damage to the hand nerves is irreversible.

In other words, there is hope for the recovery of Strange's hand nerves, but it will never return to normal. After all, the treatment time after the injury was delayed. It is a luxury to want to recover to the original level, but Strange has been unwilling to accept the reality.

"Yes." Strange felt humiliated for some reason. The last time they met, although Tony was much richer than Stephen, Stephen did not feel envious - you have to know that he is the famous Stephen Strange, and Stephen also has his own pride, which is one of the reasons why Stephen drove Christine away.

"The cost of the operation is 200,000 dollars?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll give you 1 million dollars, you can go for the operation, but I think the function of your hands is no longer a problem that normal medical technology can solve. If you have the operationThe problem is still not solved, you can still come to me. "

With a ding-dong sound, Strange tremblingly took out his mobile phone, which contained a text message from the bank that had not been sent. His account had received $1 million.

"Why help me? I remember that this was only the second time we met, and I'm not even a woman..." As soon as Strange said this, Tony rolled his eyes.

Even Pepper, who had just come in, couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Strange, I'm not very interested in you. The reason I'm willing to help you is simply because you were the only one who dared to do my reactor surgery in New York at the end. Your boldness and confidence left a deep impression on me."

"On the contrary, you are desperate now-I don't sympathize with you, I just feel the same way, after all, I was also desperate at the time. It's just that someone gave me hope in the end. So this time when I saw you in despair, I suddenly wanted to help you once, and I hope that every desperate person can be treated gently. "

"As for money, it's even less worth mentioning to me. You know, $1 million can't even make me frown. "

"Thank you...thank you..." Strange fell silent. He didn't expect that he would feel a little warmth today.

"It's nothing. I told you that if you still can't be cured, you can come to me again. If conventional means can't cure it, trying unconventional means is also a way."

Tony was kind-hearted for once, simply because Tony remembered that he was in the same situation as him, so he showed his kindness to this rare person.

"I may not be able to pay the money back for the time being, but don't worry, I will definitely pay it back!" Strange also knew that it was outrageous for him to borrow 1 million dollars without any reason, but now Strange was really poor and had no way out.

"It's okay, don't worry, I also believe in your ability."
