Luis Rubiales' mother has left hospital after being taken in following the third day of her hunger strike.
Yet Angeles Bejar now plans to keep a low profile after she was given permission to leave Santa Ana Hospital on Wednesday night.
The 72-year-old had previously been taken in after falling ill at Divina Pastora Church.
According to the Daily Mail, after being discharged at around 11.30pm on Wednesday night, she now plans to stay out of the spotlight.

Father Antonio, a Parish priest at the church, said Bejar had been 'very poorly'.
He explained: "Angeles has got worse and so they have had to take her to hospital as a matter of urgency.
"She's not at the church anymore.
"She was very poorly and already had a lot of problems but she took a turn for the worse and suffered a panic attack, saying she felt very anguished and dizzy and very strange.
"She left about 6.15pm via a back door of the church.
"She still wasn't eating and was just drinking water and isotonic drinks but my understanding is she'll have to break her hunger strike now.
"I don't know if she is being accompanied by relatives now and how she got to hospital because I didn't see an ambulance.
"But Luis Rubiales spoke to her before she went and between various relatives they decided Angeles should go to hospital.
"She's an elderly lady. Her feet were already swollen but things got worse this afternoon and she became very nervous.
"She won't be coming back here even if she gets better."
Earlier in the week, Bejar slammed Jenni Hermoso and insisted Rubiales was 'honest'.
"I just want the truth to be told," she stated.
"She knows my son is very honest. If she tells the truth everything will be fixed."
And she added: "It was an anecdote, as she herself said, and look how far it's gone.
"She should have a conscience and act according to it.
"My son is very worried and has asked me not to continue, to stop, but I will be here until I drop and my body can continue."
While Rubiales' mother has defended him, his uncle Juan has instead turned against the Spain FA chief.
"I think he needs a social re-education programme and re-education in his relationship with women," he told El Confidencial.
On Bejar's protest, Juan acknowledged her 'suffering' but insisted other family members were firmly against Rubiales amid the Spain FA chief's refusal to resign.
"I respect his mother," he continued. "All mothers have the right... I know the woman is suffering.

"But my mother is also suffering.
"And the mothers of the 25 people that Rubiales kicked out of the Federation without committing any irregularity are also suffering.
"And the people that at his command he has crushed have also suffered greatly.
"We Rubiales are absolutely positioned with an idea of dignity.
"And dignity is defending Jenni, understanding her, and reproaching this president's shameful behavior."
