Mahidevran sultan was standing by the balcony of her son , giving her a view onto his bedroom where Stella was laying down still battling with the disease .

She was standing next to Mustafa who was visibly moved and sad by the sickness of his wife , he didn't leave her side for the past days but on the worst note the doctors were still saying the same thing .

That she wouldn't make it and that they had to keep praying for her to come back to life .

" She's still young , i don't know what caused this" Mahidevran sultan was also upset , she wanted her daughter in law to get better because it would cheer Mustafa up .

" I feel so powerless .. i feel like my hands are tied and i can't do anything" Mustafa said in a spiteful tone expressing his desperation and helplessness.

" She will get better son , no one could've predicted this and the best thing we could do for her now is pray" After all his mother was right because letting anger take over him wasn't going to get him anywhere .

He pinched the bridge of his nose and walked closer towards the railing as the view of the whole city was visible to him .

Mahidevran sultan couldn't help but feel sorry for her son , she stepped forward behind him and put her hand on his shoulder giving him a little pat

" Your highness , sultana" one of the doctors came towards making them both turn around at the same time .

" What is it ?" Mahidevran sultan asked and the doctor looked at Mustafa first " Your highness , the sultana's health is declining and i just want you to get read for all scenarios" Mustafa walked towards her in a hurry trying to process what he just heard .

" What do you mean by this ? didn't i tell you that you would cure her or i'll have your heads" he yelled at the woman making her step back a bit while his mother stepped in between them to interfere .

" You can't just say she can't be cured" Mahidevran sultan took the initiative to speak with the doctor while Mustafa walked away trying to think or worse having a breakdown .

" We can take her highness but far from the capital , where she can get a bath in a cave . it is famous for curing people but i don't know if it is going to work"Mahidevran sultan listened attentively to what the doctor was saying and immediately agreed " How far?" she asked trying to get more informations when she got interrupted by her son .

" We will take her even if it's in the other corner of the world" he said determined to take her anywhere " It's in Edirne your highness , i hope our sultana can endure the road and keep resisting until we arrive" the doctor said making him more furious because she sounded defeated .

He left her there and went inside the room where he can only see his wife sleeping behind the huge white transparent curtain , he couldn't get any closer to her or hold her to reassure her that everything is gonna be fine and that she will get better . He put his hand and clenched a part of the curtain on his fist feeling helpless , he wanted to open it so bad but he stopped himself .

" Mustafa" he heard her mumble in her sleep but stopped himself from opening the curtain , she slowly opened her eyes and looked around her not moving an inch " Stella can you hear me ?" he asked trying to get her attention . She shited her eyes to look at him , she smiled and tried to reach for him but realised the curtain that seperated them .

" I will find a cure for you , don't worry" he tried to reassure when she herself didn't know what was wrong with her in the first place , she looked around the room and saw doctors with masks on surrounding her , that is when she understood the gravity of her situation .
