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

  1. 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

ward, she preferred to watch on a larger screen.

but her condition got worse so we had to come back here for another

session of her treatment.

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
