Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 8
CELINE’S POV
I was washing some utensils on the sink when I heard Martha speak behind
- me. “Why are you wearing a face mask all the time, Celine?” she asked
curiously.
It wasn’t until just now that it dawned on me that Martha and my mother
were both patients in the same hospital ward, but she was further along in
the healing process, so she can roam around the hospital specifically in the
basement where there’s a television. Though we also have one here in the
ward, she preferred to watch on a larger screen.
My eyes flashed as I turned to look at her. “Martha… I’ve never been in good
health, and it started when I was a child. Because bacteria are present
everywhere, there’s a good chance that I could easily get sick whenever I
visit the hospital. My asthma will flare up in a very short amount of time.”

I wiped my hands with the hand towel and walked back towards mom’s bed
when I noticed her sleeping again. She was already discharged a week ago
but her condition got worse so we had to come back here for another
session of her treatment.
My father was opposed to the idea of me moving back to the city, but I had
no choice but to disobey him because this particular hospital offered the
most advanced treatment options. Therefore, I had to hide my face by
wearing a face mask every time.
The things I said to Martha were all lies. She might notice that the woman she
was watching on the television a week ago has the same face as mine if I
removed my face mask.
I proceeded to the restroom in order to brush my teeth, but to my dismay… I
discovered that there was no toothpaste available. In addition, there was no
