She could very well die right after their encounter due to being completely out of her depth, but he didn't seem to care.
He's writing his own story, others are writing theirs. Cid's family is a part of his mob cover story. That would make him give some value to it, but only some. But then again, even if you say it was mere luck that he saved Claire, when you are as powerful as Cid, luck plays only a small role anymore. He was there to save her because it was easy for him. He appeared very purposefully right then and there to kick the black tower master away. It wasn't one of those "Did I accidentally step on something?" scenes.
