The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1838

The moment the ring went through the knuckle and onto her ring finger, Nanako's eyes were already flooded with tears.

She hurriedly lowered her head, so that Charlie could not see her current look. 2

She liked Charlie very much, but she did not want to give him too much emotional burden. 1

This was because, deep inside her heart, she knew that Charlie came to Japan this time and visited her i n Kyoto not because of how much he liked her.

Instead, he sympathized with her and felt sorry for her. 3

She could understand Charlie's feeling - the kind of empathy among martial artists.

What is empathy? 4

It is the emotion of putting yourself in the other person's shoes and being able to empathize with them. 4

This is like when a racing driver witnesses another racer, who is gravely injured or even perishes on the race track, in a car crash; his empathy for the victim must be stronger than ordinary people. 3

Similarly, if a soldier sees his comrades or the other soldiers being injured or rendered disabled in battles, such empathy will be felt as well. 3

Charlie must have felt the same empathy for her. 5

After watching her disobeying his warning, being seriously injured in the competition, and even being carried away from the competition ring by an ambulance, he must have sympathized a little more with her. 2

Moreover, he had a way to heal her. Therefore, during his short trip to Japan this time, he took the time to visit her in Kyoto to heal her injuries.

Hence, Nanako knew very well that although Charlie was very kind to her, most of all it was due to sympathy which was spawned from empathy.

For a girl who was obsessed with the man, what she wanted the least was his sympathy.

In fact, except for love, she wanted nothing else. 4
