At a subconscious level - MSK has accepted that he is her protector, savior, mentor, guide, philosopher - that silo is already slotted in his mind whether one likes it or not or he consciously acknowledges it or not
In the hospital scenes he had already accepted it
when the taveez got pulled out of his neck by intent or lack of intent on GEET's part, MSK realized that the twain has to be cut and that he has to don the role of heart-breaker, a mother bird that allows its winged fowling to fly on its own - as he had already trained it to face the heat and run to a beat - or the mentor who propels her to actions to match the words - like he did earlier in HP when he saved her and left her to fight against Brij on her own, he prepared her for the fight and let her loose like the Chinese army does with its tin men soldiers - then she went and took the goat by its tail and put Brij in jail and broke free from the ties that bind of family and knowns to take risks in the unknowns and tread the path less traveled
So now this is no different - that last look he gave her was of a man who was letting his loved one go to fight her battle - of the Zen master who lets his warrior princess go to fight battle like Kill Bill - He knew that if he called her she would return to his protection
But this is again an illusion that the Zen master is creating like Lord Krishna -- no matter where she goes - she will be under his protection - he will be her shadow - she will be under the umbrella of his protection - as the supra conscious had made him her protector and subconsciously this man MSK knows that he is it - her teacher and her protector -- also the lover in MSK will unseen and unbeknown to her clear the hurdles in her path like he has plucked the thorns from the rose or like he had booked the whole hospital ward for her - he will do it unknown as that will return to her her self worth and give her back her sense of achievement and purpose in her life and journey
