Orion's expression softened as he walked towards her, his fingers gently caressing her hair as he asked, "Mama, are you okay?" Hazel's eyes met Orion's, her gaze searching for reassurance. Her face was pale, and her eyes seemed sunken, but she managed a weak smile as she replied, "I'm fine." Her voice was laced with a hint of fatigue, and her eyes drooped slightly as she added, "I want to go home, I'm feeling nauseous."
