Medical Center.
"Dr. Koothrappali..."
Adam held it in and held it in, but after confirming that this really was the person he had imagined, he still could not help laughing. "How can I help you?"
That was right!
The man before him was Rajesh's father from The Big Bang Theory.
The current patriarch of the Three Kingdoms Iron Man Family.
If Rajesh was Iron Man Tony Stark,
then Dr. V.M. Koothrappali was Iron Man's father, the one who had laid the foundation for Iron Man's achievements.
Howard Stark...
Of course, he was also a gynecologist.
In terms of both wealth and profession, Dr. V.M. Koothrappali had quite a few similarities with Adam.
Actually, if Adam had encountered him alone, or met Sam Wolowitz—who was suspected to be Howard's father—alone, he would not have laughed so unprofessionally.
It was just that seeing the two of them appear at the same time gave Adam far too strong a sense of bizarre shock.
Rajesh and Howard—the pair Beverly, Leonard's mother, considered natural and beyond question, the future best buddies that the three-hundred-pound Sailor Moon kept nodding along in agreement with—
were still students.
Emmm.
Then again, they were both geniuses. They might already have graduated from college by now; one should be in graduate school, while the other might even be pursuing a doctorate.
One was at MIT in Boston.
The other was at Cambridge University in Britain.
They were worlds apart, separated by an ocean.
They had not yet met, but their fathers had miraculously run into each other at the New York Medical Center.
Life was that wonderful.
How could Adam not laugh?
"Dr. Duncan, a friend of mine is in rather serious condition. Could you help with a consultation?"
Rajesh's father had already been feeling guilty, and Adam's smile immediately
