English term or phrase: softening compassionate face

Pls note that the speaker was not English mother tongue, for Spain thanks. Had thought of "con una expresión de ablandecimiento compasivo en su rostro" but sounds a bit off to me, help appreciated

She listened carefully with a softening compassionate face.
When I finished, she replied softly, “We will help you.”
She took a deep breathe and con- tinued.
“At first we will direct you to a doctor to ascertain your age, and then we will issue you a temporary passport and try to arrange something for you.When she mentioned the word doctor, I recalled the rash on my leg and told her about it.
She responded very swiftly, giving me a referral to a dermatological clinic and directions to get there.
She also told me to come back with the results, to see her after my discharge from the clinic.
