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 

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.” 

“Oh, I see…” She acknowledged my answer with a nod and went back to

watching television as she lay on her bed.

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 

shampoo left in the bottle.

sighed as I turned the faucet on and washed my face with the cold water. 

When I looked up, I cringed at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes were 

rimmed with dark circles due to some sleepless nights because of what 

happened that night in the hotel.

I vigorously shook my head to clear the thought. Why couldn’t I keep that 

man out of my thoughts? He was my first at everything, but he would never 

take the title of my first love. He is soon to be my sister’s husband. 

‘Are you sure? Or perhaps you’ve already given in to him?‘ A hushed voice 

emanating from deep within my head caused me to grimace in response. I 

rebuked that voice in my head with the whole resolve. It wasn’t the right time 

to give oneself over to those kinds of thoughts at this moment. 

As soon as I emerged from the stall, I reached for my bag and get my wallet 

inside. “Excuse me…” I went up to Martha, who was still engrossed in watching 

television. “Can you please look out for mom for a while? I’ll just stop by the 

grocery store and pick up a few things I need.”

“Okay…” she responded with a nod without taking her eyes off the television.

After making sure that I had purchased everything that I needed, I made my 

way to the counter to pay for my items when I witnessed what appeared to 

be a dispute between another customer and the woman working there. 

“I’ll pay you, I promise…” The customer with the dark hair remarked to the 

woman working behind the counter. “Just let me get my wallet in the car..” 

but she responded by shaking her head. 

“Excuse me…” It came to my attention that the queue was getting longer, and 

I could read the impatience on the faces of the individuals waiting behind 

me, so I decided to interrupt their conversation. “What exactly is the problem 

here?” 

The man said while sheepishly scratching his nape, “I can’t pay for this since I 

forgot my wallet in the car…”

I heaved a sigh as I rummaged through my wallet and pulled out fifty dollars 

to give to the man. 

“Oh, no… I can’t accept that.” He made a gesture with his hand that 

suggested he would not be taking the assistance that I was offering to him. 

“You can pay me later. The queue is getting longer and my mom is already 

waiting for me, so please…” He’d got no choice but to accept the money and 

pay for the items he had purchased. 

The man was waiting for me the entire time while I was paying for my items, 

and as soon as I was finished, he approached me with an uneasy look on his 

face. 

“Thank you for the help…” he said as he walked with me. “I’ll just get my wallet 

in the car and I’ll pay you.” 

After adjusting my face mask and giving him a nod, I saw him dash towards 

his car in the parking lot while I waited for him in front of the grocery store.

After about five minutes, he made his way back to where I was waiting for 

him and gave me one hundred dollars. “Please accept my gratitude, Miss… 

and keep the change.” 

“I’m sorry, but there’s no way I can accept it…” I offered him fifty bucks in
