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

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
