Her voice was steady and deliberate as she responded, Though Matthew and I are united in marriage, I deeply respect his autonomy.

I am profoundly grateful for your bravery in rescuing him.

If this is your heartfelt request and it falls within my capabilities, rest assured, even if Matthew is unable to be by your side, I will find the means to support you.

After her declaration, she turned toward Matthew, her expression softening slightly as she sought his perspective.
