After teasing Azul for a while, Roxanna's playful smile slowly faded. Her expression softened, turning calm and serious. This time, she truly didn't want fear to linger in her husband's heart.
"Azul, listen to me carefully," Roxanna said gently. She kept her eyes on him. "I know you've done everything you could to take care of Calen. And I really appreciate it… more than you realize."
Her voice was soft but sincere. "I know Calen's condition is frightening. I know that if I came home and saw that he was gone, I would be completely shattered, but…"
Roxanna took a deep breath, pausing for a moment to let Azul process her words. "…but even if that happens, I will never blame you or Zeir." She gave him a small smile. "I won't blame anyone, because in the end… death is a destiny that cannot be avoided."
This time, Roxanna fell silent.
