"Thank you," she said brokenly. "I… I didn't know what to do anymore. I thought I was failing him."
Alina shook her head at once, stepping closer with a gentle, reassuring smile. "No. You're not failing him at all. You did everything you could because you love him and you were worried about him. That already makes you a wonderful mother. You're not alone anymore. We're here."
She turned her warm gaze toward Jojo and smiled at him softly. "You did really well today."
Jojo straightened a little, shy pride flickering in his green eyes.
Ana took a deep breath, emotion still lingering in her chest. "Please also… thank Lord Dante on my behalf," she said earnestly. "I'll never forget this."
Alina nodded gently. "I will."
