Immortality

"I don't need to save her. Our son will."

"At the cost of his own life!" The Goddess screamed at her husband in disbelief. "How can you be so indifferent when you already know how it's going to go down?"

"He made that choice on his own. No one forced him to do it. So I don't see why I should interfere with the law of nature and create an imbalance," He replied in a monotone and looked away from his wife.

The Goddess closed her eyes and held her head. She couldn't believe her ears!

She swallowed again and asked in a voice that gave a hint of controlled rage, "How can a father be so cruel? The stupid law of nature is made by you… and you're telling me that you will stick with your rigid rule at the expense of your son's life?"

God looked into the burning eyes of his wife and replied in an unfazed tone, "Exactly."
