Xia Chu was not merely consoling Huo Xiyao.
Indeed, with his company and his abundant love, she felt as though no one in the world could hurt her anymore.
Moreover, to speak cruelly, how could the phrase "empathize deeply" truly exist? Even between parents and children or spouses, when one party suffers misfortune or endures great pain, the other party cannot take on their pain or truly share in their burden.
Over time, the partner may even grow tired and weary, hence the saying, "A long illness tires the kindest nurse."
Xia Chu was human too, especially when dealing with someone like Ye Shuhua, a rotten wood; of course, she would be no exception.
But still, a fire was smoldering within her, a nameless rage that she didn't know how to express, even to Huo Xiyao.
By the time she returned to Hai City the next day, and back to the firm to officially start work on the third day, that fire was still burning.
