...There's a difference between taking actions that result in people being hurt, and taking them with a willful disregard for the fact that people might be hurt at all.
Sometimes you can't help but hurt people you care about. The fact that you said you were trying to keep her alive tells me that, whether you think so or not, you did take her into account to some extent — you couldn't have been trying to save her if you weren't thinking of her on some level in the first place.
To have abandoned her without ever stopping to consider that it'd affect her at all...that, I think, would be a worse crime entirely.
