Married for Slander
Chapter 49.

"Azzam..."

Erni's voice suddenly spread the Azzam's daydream. He turned his neck towards the source of the voice, his gaze darkening upon seeing the apparition of the mother.

Erni swung a big step closer to the son, Azzam scattered into Erni's embrace. She cried in her mother's arms.

"I'm sorry Azzam, ma'am. Is this punishment for Azzam? Now Azzam is karmic because he has hurt Mom too often." lirih Azzam broke into tears, he really blamed himself for everything that had happened.

"Sstt... Don't talk like that! I have forgiven you, this is not karma but a test. Maybe God wants to see how much you love Alana" said Erni while rubbing Azzam's back, his heart slipped.

After Azzam calmed down enough, he broke down his arms and told Erni to come in to see his wife's condition. Erni nodded weakly and left Azzam out there.

Arriving inside, Erni sat on the chair beside the nightstand, her eyes glazed over at the condition of her weak daughter-in-law helplessly.

Erni grabs Alana's hand and kisses her affectionately, to her the girl is already like her own child.

Alana wakes up when she feels the touch of Erni's hand, she seems to get a touch from a mother who has long since missed.

The girl opened her eyes slowly, she gasped at the face of Erni who was very close to her.

Erni reviewed the smile and rubbed the top of Alana's head affectionately, then stroked her daughter-in-law's cheek gently. "Is anyone sick?"

Alana shook her head weakly with a misty look, she could see the sincerity from Erni's eyes. "No, why are you here?"

Erni pulled out a chair and again clasped Alana's hand. "Azzam told Mom."

Alana knitted both eyebrows. "Azzam's? Aren't you guys"

"It's all over, Azzam's back to Mom. Now it's your turn, don't give up on the situation! Azzam loves you so much, you don't know how broken he was when you left. His life was a mess, he even wanted to go far to see you happy with the man." said Erni while rubbing the back of Alana's hand.

"But I'm handicapped, ma'am. I don't deserve Azzam." Alana shed tears with pursed lips.

"Nothing is inappropriate, love does not look at the physical or the material. No one knows where our hearts are going. Therefore, rest assured of Azzam!" persuade Erni.

"But, Mom-"

"Think about it again! Are you sure you can live without Azzam? I've felt it, I've been in your position, in the end love is able to defeat everything." said Erni.

Alana was silent at the words of her father-in-law. True, she could not get far from Azzam, she already loved her husband.

Being overwhelmed in his thoughts, the door suddenly creaked, Azzam entered and walked up to the two.

"Mom, Alana wants to be treated at home. Azzam had spoken to the doctor, he allowed it. Azzam has also made a therapy schedule for the next month, we will go home to the apartment" said Azzam who is now standing at the end of the bed.

Erni frowned forming fine lines on her forehead. "Why go to the apartment? Better get home, there's a mother who can help you look after Alana."

Azzam was silent for a moment while looking at Erni and Alana alternately. "Hm... All right." nod Azzam agreed.

Hearing that, Erni smiled and grabbed her son's hand. It was not said how happy he was to hear Azzam's reply.

Then Erni got up from her seat and rubbed the head of Alana, she kissed her affectionately. "Don't think weird anymore, now there's Mom and Azzam who'll take care of you."

Seeing Erni like that, Azzam's heart was pangled. How stupid of him who had not been able to see the sincerity in the heart of the mother, Erni's heart was really soft, she did not even reject a disabled daughter-in-law like Alana.

Ah, Azzam wanted to scream for forgiveness. His heart's eyes were completely blinded by unwarranted anger and resentment. Now he was really sorry, why didn't he try to understand the situation first?

Azzam approached Erni and hugged her. "Thank you for accepting Azzam's wife's condition." she said with reddened eyes, holding back tears.

Erni just smiled and ruffled the son's hair. What is more happy than this? He just wants to see Azzam happy with the woman he loves.

For a moment the atmosphere in the room became silent, the three of them dissolved in regret in each other's hearts.

Tok Tok Tok...

There was a knock on the door from outside. The three turned to the source of the voice and Rudi appeared with a nurse who would pull out Alana's infusion.

Azzam moved away from the gurney and walked over to Rudi, while the nurse who came with the man immediately stepped over to Alana and immediately pulled out the intravenous needle in the girl's hand.

After the nurse left them all, Azzam took the medicine that Rudi brought and asked him to prepare a car.

Rudi quickly nodded and hurried to leave the room. Azzam walked back to the gurney.

"You going home now?" azzam asked, smiling at Alana.

The girl did not answer, she was still hesitant and afraid to go home to Azzam. Will he not burden the family later?

"Yes, just go home now" said Erni.
