The Shackles of Second Love
41
“Mother breakfast first yes..” Laura told Sharon.
Laura helped her mother-in-law to sit down without the need for the woman to get out of bed. Sharon said the woman let Laura help herself sit down.
Upon seeing this face of his son-in-law, Sharon again felt guilty for his past attitude. She foolishly rejects Laura as Fabian's future wife, and instead attempts to make Mia his daughter-in-law.
And now he was so grateful that the serpent woman had failed to become his daughter-in-law. Sharon couldn't imagine if it happened. Not only did Mia betray her, the woman could also have betrayed her son.
“This is so good.” Sharon sincerely praised the porridge that had just entered her mouth.
Laura smiled happily, “That's me making it, Mom. I got the recipe from the internet.” Laura replied without hiding her pleasure.
Sharon was touched by Laura's service as a daughter-in-law. The woman was growing more and more, but she still remembered that Laura had never cooked before.
“But this is really good. Mom really likes it.”
“Thank you yes, dear.” Sharon said.
Laura nodded happily. In the end he could completely take the heart of his mother-in-law, and Laura promised not to disappoint the woman.
Her mother-in-law has been deeply hurt by her father-in-law's betrayal as well as Mia's, and Laura will not let her mother-in-law feel pain again.
The sweet interaction between the son-in-law and the mother-in-law must be willingly interrupted by the arrival of the doctor and his assistant.
Sharon looked at the different doctor from the one who examined her yesterday with a puzzled look.
“Good morning, Bu.” the doctor named Mahendra greeted kindly to the patient and the patient's family.
“Morning too, doctor.” Laura answered slowly.
“Excuse me, I have permission to check on the patient.” Mahendra said before actually approaching Sharon and starting to check on her condition.
The man glanced at his patient at a glance, then checked the patient's data through the table carried by his assistant.
Mahendra was quite surprised to learn Sharon's age which turned out to be older than he expected. She thought she was 38, but who would have thought she was 48.
“Mommy's condition is stable enough yes, Mom. Maybe this afternoon I can go home.” Mahendra explained kindly.
Sharon just silently listened, as did Laura. Although after hearing the doctor's explanation, Laura asked some questions about the condition of her mother-in-law.
“Clearned yes, Ms. Sharon.” said the doctor while staring at his patient.
“Thank you, Doctor Sir.” Laura said slowly which then answered a thin smile by Mahendra.
The man and his assistant then left the room occupied by Sharon.
Laura smiled faintly after the doctor's departure, then looked at her mother-in-law meaningfully.
“It looks like the Doctor was just surprised to find out the actual age of the mother.” Laura said while giggling.
Sharon chuckled softly to hear it, “He must have been surprised that Mom's face was much older than Mom's age. Aye right?”
Laura shook her head quickly, “I think quite the opposite.”
“When I first met Mom, I had thought that Mom's age had not been 40 years.” he said honestly.
“Mother is really beautiful and youthful.” she said again made Sharon laugh softly.
“You are just-there.” Sharon said.
“But the doctor just got handsome huh, Bu?” asked Laura who then immediately got a small pinch from Sharon.
Sharon felt Laura's current existence was able to comfort herself from the lack of heart she felt. He could even smile and laugh at his son-in-law.

Fabian told her that she could go home later that afternoon. Although it should have included good news, but still he was still anxious.
Honestly Hartono wanted to see Sharon, but the woman definitely did not want to be met by him again.
The man restores his hair back, “But I'm curious if I don't see it directly.” he murmured while thinking.
“Maybe it's good to go back to Sharon.” he said.
And in the end Hartono decided to go back to meet Sharon in the hospital. But only then did he get up from his seat of honor, suddenly his cellphone in his pocket rang.
Hartono picked up his phone immediately, and apparently it was a phone call from Mia.
Without thinking long he then lifted it, afraid that the woman was wanting something considering Mia began to feel what cravings are.
“Ya, babe?” sweep it gently.
“You're busy no?” Mia asked with a clear tone of doubt.
Hartono commented on his faint smile hearing that, “No, why is it? You want something?” tanyakanya.
“Not.” Mia answered slowly.
“Only my head suddenly dizzy.” said Mia then just made Hartono anxious.
“I'll be home soon.” he said then hung up his phone.
His intention to meet Sharon was wiped out by his anxiety about Mia's condition. The man immediately left his office and rushed home.
Meanwhile in the apartment, Mia stared at her phone with a sad look.
“Sorry yes, I lied to you.” he said slowly.
Mia just pretended to be dizzy, actually last night she read a text chat history between Hartono and Fabian. And Mia gets the feeling that the man is going to see his ex-wife when lunchtime starts.
Mia was forced to lie because she did not want Hartono to get back close to the man's ex-wife.

Fabian and Laura are preparing everything for Sharon's return from the hospital. While Fabian went to take care of the final payment, Laura helped her mother-in-law to get ready.
“Mother really wants to go home now?” laura asked still in anxiety.
Sharon gave a short nod while tidying up her makeup. He slightly polished his face so as not to look too pale.
“Doctors have also stated that Mother's condition is fine. So for what I stay here.” reply Sharon.
Hearing that clearly made Laura unable to say anything more. He only hoped that after this his mother-in-law would not fall ill again.
After ten minutes of waiting, Fabian returned to his mother's room and said he had completed the payment. The three men were able to leave the room and go home.
“Mom didn't stay here for long.” Sharon said as she walked down the corridor with her son and daughter-in-law.
“No one is at home in the hospital, Bu.” Fabian replied with a joke.
Sharon nodded in agreement, “Ya, you were right.” reply.
“By the way was dad here?” fabian asked Laura in a whisper.
Laura answered no and it upset Fabian. Why did his father ask his mother if he didn't even see her.
Fabian thought that when his father asked about his mother's condition, the man was really worried about his mother. But it seems to be just a formality.
