"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
"Oh, is that so? Is that what he said?" Schiller said with emotion, Strange on the opposite side was already eager to grab the phone, but Schiller said calmly : "Yeah, this is already the highest evaluation a father has for his son..."
After Schiller said this, Strange's eyes turned red instantly, and then Schiller asked another question: "In this case, why didn't old Mr. Strange choose How about contacting his son?"
"Okay, I see, thank you." Schiller lowered his head again, then confirmed some things about his condition with the doctor again, then hung up the phone, he put the phone aside, looked up To Strange, who looked even more haggard.
Schiller put his hands on the table, looked at the contents of his notebook, and said: "Your father had obvious symptoms of dyspnea about three years ago, which shows that at this time, he The function of the lungs has begun to degrade."
"You said it was because he smoked, but this doctor has a different opinion. Old Strange has been to him for treatment many times, and he has quite a say in this."
"Your father has always had bronchitis, right?" Schiller looked at Strange and asked.
Strange nodded in dismay and said: "Well, when I was a child, he often coughed. At that time, our rooms were a little close. He coughed in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep. There was a semester His academic performance dropped a lot, and later, he moved to a small room on the side of the warehouse to sleep."
"Bronchitis is usually accompanied by a certain degree of lung infection. It should be that after his bronchitis recurred during a certain season, the lung infection was more serious, and he was not treated in time, resulting in lung function damage."
"Of course, what you said about smoking also has a certain influence. According to the doctor, old Mr. Strange is a long-term smoker, but according to what you said, he only started smoking after your mother died. Is it?"
Strange sighed and said: "Originally he also smoked, but very little. He is just an ordinary Philadelphia farmer. Like all the farmers there, he likes to have a cigarette while doing farm work." .”
"But since my mother passed away, he started to intensify and smoke a lot every day, which is why I don't want to go home, I hate the smell of smoke, it makes my clothes stick to the wash I can't bring this smell into the operating room..."
Strange kept using some intensified words to express his feelings. Schiller first calmed him down, and then said: "His current lung symptoms are not only due to his bad habits, but also because of his bad habits. Limited to local people's cognition and medical conditions."
"I told him a long time ago, let him come to New York, Victor... oh, that's my brother, he runs wild in the fields all day, doesn't study hard, Eugene doesn't care about him, any Let him do it!"
"I talked to him about it too, but before we could even say a few words, he said I'm a noble New Yorker and should get the **** out of Philadelphia and never come back, and he's just such a stubborn, grumpy guy... ..."
"Has he never been to New York?" Schiller asked.
"This is his first time here, if Victor and I hadn't forced him drunk and stuffed him into the car, he still wouldn't want to come!" Strange took a deep breath and looked very helpless, He said: "He even coughed up blood, but he just didn't want to come to the Presbyterian hospital. I really don't understand. What's going on? Doesn't he feel bad?!"
Take a deep breath, Strange calmed down for a while, then covered his face, and said in a choked voice: "My mother passed away unexpectedly, he was greatly stimulated, he didn't After a while, Donna also passed away, and the two most important women in his life left him one after another..."
"Since then, he has become eccentric. When I was studying, I called him. He never asked me about my studies. He chatted, and he would definitely talk about Donna in the end."
Strange lowered his eyes, grinned, showing his teeth on both sides, and said, "I admit, part of the reason why I don't want to go back is because he blamed me for Donna's death... "
"The two of us went swimming together, Donna was drowning, I..." Strange's Adam's apple visibly shook up and down, his sobs caused the second half of his sentence to be swallowed back, but Schiller knew he what to say.
"I know, Victor thinks the same way." Strange covered his face again and said, "I know they don't want to see me, because I killed Donna, and Eugene did the same... "
"He would rather endure the pain of coughing up blood than come to me. He is dying, and he doesn't want to see me for the last time!" Shaking so much that he couldn't support his head, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Is that true?" Schiller asked.
"It was your father who told you that he didn't want to come to New York to find you because you killed Donna?"
"Of course he didn't say that." Strange closed his eyes in pain, and continued, "But I know, that's what he meant."
"Stephen, have you ever thought that these speculations of yours are actually just your imaginations, and the facts may be completely different from what you think." Schiller tapped the tabletop with the signature pen in his hand, Strange's consciousness was pulled back, and Strange looked at him, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
"The problem between you and your father lies in the communication. How long has it been since you communicated calmly?" Schiller asked.
Strange turned his eyes away, and said, "About a year... no, maybe three years, we had a fight on the phone two years ago..."
"That is to say, in the past three years, every communication between you has ended in a quarrel, and you have no way to understand each other's situation rationally, and you know nothing about each other's career and relationship?"
Strange didn't want to admit it, but finally nodded, Schiller tapped forward with a signature pen, and said:
"A lot of misunderstandings between parents and children are caused by this. When their children are young, in order to establish their own authority, parents often use coercive power. They always use orders and reprimands to urge their children to do things."
"But in fact, the parents gave a lot of love behind the scenes, but the children only felt the power, did not get the slightest sense of security from this love, and only felt the ubiquitous threat."
"At the same time, they take their love for their children too much for granted, evaluate it too cheaply, and feel that it is unnecessary to declare it."
"I remember that you mentioned a small detail in your previous words. Because of bronchitis, your father often coughed in the middle of the night, which caused you to sleep badly and your grades dropped. Later, he moved to the small room on the side of the warehouse Sleeping."
"Did he tell you why he did it? Have you thought about why he did it?"
[Recommended, it is really easy to change the source and chase the book, download it here. Everyone, go and try it. 】
"Or, he took it for granted that he sacrificed his living conditions in exchange for your sleep, and you don't understand at all, what did he sacrifice for you?"
Strange's expression obviously paused, but he still said: "Perhaps, he may not be because of me..."
"Children who grow up in this kind of family environment always like to reject other people's emotional contributions, because no one has ever expressed their love to you bluntly, so when others give you affection, you Always questioning, 'Maybe he's not necessarily looking at me'."
"Some parents always do too much and talk too little, with sharp mouths and tofu hearts, but this is actually not a good thing. They think their love is so cheap that they don't need to express it, and you Because I haven't received a straightforward expression of love, I constantly doubt myself and feel insecure."
Strange felt that Schiller had hit something, but he couldn't organize his logical thinking to analyze what Schiller had said.
"Your father's reluctance to see you is just a result, but all the reasons you have summed up are actually your own conjectures." Schiller sharply pointed out the key point why Strange would feel so troubled.
"If you really want to know why your father doesn't want to see you, you can ask him, or he has formed a mindset and is unwilling to communicate with you, but you can go to your brother .”
"You mean...Victor?" Strange showed a resisting expression, he said with some hesitation, "Since Donna died, Victor has... well, I know, or For this reason, I have not contacted him for three or four years."
"You have to know, I am the supreme mage, and I am so busy developing interstellar space, I really don't have time to contact my family, I..."
Looking at Schiller's calm gaze, Strange could no longer speak the second half of his sentence, and finally, he said bitterly: "Okay, I see, when facing the psychiatrist, Don't make excuses."
"You and your father may have developed this communication mode, and there is no way to change it easily, but maybe, there is still room for communication between you and your brother, you can talk to him and ask what is going on What's going on."
In the end, Strange left with a full heart. Although he didn't say anything, he had already accepted Schiller's suggestion in his heart.
He really didn't want to face Eugene, that is, his father, but when he was young, he had a good relationship with Victor, even much better than his relationship with Donna.
It's just that later, Victor entered a rebellious period, loafing around on the farm every day, doing nothing, with poor grades, and didn't like reading. At that time, Strange was at the peak of his studies, and his mind was full of How did he get into the best hospital in New York, and I gradually had nothing to talk to him about.
Leaving the Arkham Sanatorium, Strange called Victor and learned that he was accompanying him in the hospital, so the two made an appointment at Strange's former office in the Presbyterian Hospital.
After becoming the supreme mage, Strange still did not let go of his career as a surgeon. He used the time gem to go back in time and did many things, but he was unwilling to use the time gem to go back to the operation process.
Even if he has countless opportunities, if he fails the first surgery, he can still do it a second time, but he is unwilling to give himself such a way out, and he will develop a perfectionist personality. retreat.
After the two brothers met, they were relatively silent, because they both found that the other had changed too much.
From a rebellious country youth, Victor has become very similar to his father, more like a mature farm owner. The wind and sun have made his skin a little rough, but his eyes and expression are like Like those seasoned Philadelphia farmers, they are in high spirits.
As for Strange, he didn't have the smug and proud attitude he had before, he looked very embarrassed, his hands were still shaking, and he couldn't stop at all, he couldn't even hold the small paper cup handed over by the nurse, half a glass of water It spilled on his body, and he didn't have time to look at it.
"Stephen." Victor spoke first, and to Stephen's surprise, his younger brother's voice became a lot thicker, but still had the familiar Philadelphia accent.
"How are you doing?" Strange was polite, but Victor looked into his eyes and said, "I know what you want to ask, Eugene doesn't want to see you, and he doesn't even let you I'm here to see you."
"You want to know why he would rather put up with it~IndoMTL.com~ than come to New York, knowing that his eldest son is the best surgeon, and he is unwilling to contact you to find someone to operate on him..." Wei Kedo said a series of words, and Strange also looked at him.
"Steven, do you know? When you came back from college in New York for the first time, we were all shocked. You were very different." Victor pursed his lips and said, "We don't seem to I know you."
"You don't have an accent, you don't wear plaid shirts but white shirts, and you have a very beautiful formal suit, which you said was given to you by your tutor, you can write cursive English, and Understanding the names of the medicines posted on the walls of the small town hospital is not something farmers like us can do.”
"Dad was surprised, but actually, he was very happy, you remember? He invited his farmer friends over to his house and wanted them to meet you, a top NYU medical student."
"But that day, what did you say you were busy with... papers? You left without saying a few words. In fact, we can all see that you don't want to talk to us. You feel that there is nothing to talk about with us who do rough work. of."
Strange on the opposite side had already covered his face, and he said again in a hoarse and choked voice: "No, stop talking, I just... I just..."
He took a deep breath and said: "Well, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be perfunctory to you, I shouldn't behave differently from you, I should be more enthusiastic, it's all my fault ..."
But at this time Victor shook his head and said: "No, Eugene and I both know that it's not easy for you. It's really difficult for young people in small towns to make a name for themselves in New York, especially when the family has no In the absence of any support for you..."
Strange froze.
