Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 18

Every step that I made as I walked along the corridor of the hospital felt

heavy. My entire body was trembling with misery, remorse, and rage as I

realized what happened.

I had just left Anderson’s hospital and was on my way to the mortuary, where

my mother’s body was being held. The words of Dr. Henry continued to

reverberate in my ear. “She killed herself. Her wrist was injured when the

nurse discovered her in the washroom of the medical facility. She suffered a

significant amount of blood loss, and unfortunately, she did not survive…”

What could possibly have prompted mom to act in such a manner? Why on

earth didn’t she consider me before she did that? Doesn’t she love me? She

remarked that we are each other’s only hope, yet I don’t understand why she

abandoned me. Why?

I came to a stop in front of the mortuary and peered through the glass on the

Sun,

door. And there I saw a nurse standing beside the hospital bed, covering a

lifeless body with a white cloth.

“Mom…” My throat hurt so much and my eyes were filling up with more tears.

I had the unsettling sensation that someone had just ripped my heart out of

my chest, stomped on it, and pulverized it into nothingness.

I’m starting to doubt myself again whether I have enough strength to see her.

To let go of her.

Tears escaped my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. It hurts so much. It hurts

me to the core that she left me. I wish I had her healed to spend more time

with me. I wish I didn’t leave her this morning.

“I’m sorry for your loss, Miss Lauren…” The doctor held my shoulder gently in

an attempt to comfort me.

But all I could feel was pain. The pain was so great that I wondered how I was

still breathing with it.

I refused to believe that she’s no longer in this world, that she has left me. It’s

all my fault.

The doctor only stared at me with the same devastated look, and that made

my heart burn.

“You’re lying…” I hissed “You’re lying to me!” I screamed, my loud voice

echoing in the hallway. “Let me see her! Let me see my mom!” I sobbed,

barging into the room.

No one had the courage to stop me, and as I watched the nurse cover her

face with the white cloth, my heart froze as I stood there.

“No!” I shouted and charged at her in an angry manner.

The nurse yelped as I yanked the cloth off my mom’s face, and I froze in an

instant, staring at my dead mother.

“Mom…” Her skin was pasty, and she’s no longer breathing.

Chapter 18 When You’re Gone

My trembling fingers brushed across her cheek as I collapsed onto her, crying

my eyes out. I won’t be able to see her face anymore for the rest of my life. I

won’t be able to hold her hand anymore, I won’t be able to hug her anymore.

God…

“Mom…” I choked, tears streaming down my face. “Please, you can’t do this to

1. me. You can’t leave me alone…” silence fell, and the only sound that could be

heard in this room is the sound of me sobbing. “Mom!” I screamed and

buried my face in her shoulder, hugging her body tightly in my arms.

I don’t want to let her go.

There was never a time when we’re apart. Even when dad and Brylee left,

even when everyone didn’t want us, we stayed together.

She can’t be gone. How am I supposed to live with this pain? Why didn’t she

call me to come back and tell me what’s going through her mind?

I let my tears dampen her shoulder, already feeling that my soul is leaving

my body.

Chapter 18 When You’re Gone

“We’re going home to the Island mom…” I rasped. “You can go home now,

sightseeing in the sea… watch the sunset… walk down the seashore and eat

everything you want… I will fulfil my promise to bring you home. Mom!”

Bu she didn’t respond. It’s only me talking to myself.

I had no idea how long I have been sobbing while holding her, but I did know

for certain that my soul was dead today.

Today, I lost everyone in my life. My mom, my dad, and my sister. They

abandoned me, breaking my heart to the point where it no longer functioned

properly.

“Celine…” a woman’s voice called me and when I looked up I saw Martha

crying. “We were happy watching the television earlier. She was all smiled.

She was happy. But when… the news came out, you… and your father…”

Oh, god!

“She saw your father slap you…” Martha continued. I couldn’t believe that it

Chapter 18 When You’re Gone

was truly all my fault, so I kept shaking my head over and over again.

And right now. I just want to cry. Cry, cry and cry until my tear ducts were

empty. And I changed my mind of going home to the island. I will not leave

this city until those responsible for what happened to my mother have paid

for what they did!

I carried a piece of paper and the phone that belonged to my mother as I

walked down the corridor. Martha stated that she discovered the letter

underneath the phone which was placed on top of the table next to mom’s

bed.

My hands were shaking violently as I opened my mom’s phone. and then my

eyes were met with the image that was displayed on the front screen, finding

it so hard that to prevent the tears that were escaping my eyes. It was a

picture of the two of us taken on the island, and we were standing by the

beach with the beautiful water behind us. Mom was all smiled when I took

the photo. She looked so happy even though she was already sick.

Chapter 18 When You’re Gone

“Mom…” I grazed my fingertips over the screen, as if I could really touch her

face. I miss her already.

After wiping my eyes out, a natural inclination prompted me to check the

messages on my mother’s phone, where I discovered an unknown sender’s

message. However, as soon as I read the first line, I already had a good idea

of who had sent the message to her.

“Your daughter is nothing but a whore! Have you witnessed what she just

did? She had sexual relations with a young model and then tried to pin the

blame on me!”

I clenched my fist as I opened the next message, and no matter how much I

tried to stop my hands from trembling, I couldn’t stop them. “Do you have

any idea where Celine got the money to pay for your medical treatment?

She sold her body to my boyfriend!”

Fresh angry tears started to stream down my face as I read the all the

messages coming from Brylee. “This will be the first and the last time I’m

telling you this. I will never acknowledge you as my mother for the rest of my

life! You know why? I don’t want people to know that I have such an ugly and

useless mother like you! I only want one mother and that would be Sasha, not

you!”

The messages had been sent this morning at nine o’clock, Consequently,

while the reporters were grilling me with questions, Brylee was

simultaneously sending inappropriate messages to my mom,

my body began to shake violently in anger, making the phone almost

destroyed in my hand.

I will never ever forgive you for what you did to my mother!

I was furiously wiping away the tears when I spotted the piece of paper that

Martha had given to me along with the phone. And as I opened it, the

yearning I felt for her was getting stronger and I couldn’t help but sob while.

reading her letter for me.

“Celine my dear… I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I had to leave you so quickly. I don’t

want to continue to be a bother in your life in any way. I’m sorry if I caused

you to go through such a difficult time. Because of me, you’re suffering a lot. I

always felt sorry for Brylee because I wasn’t able to show how much I loved

her. However, I was even more reluctant to see you hurting…”

I looked up, blinking my eyes to stop the tears from falling but they just

wouldn’t. I let out a shaky sigh as I continued to read her letter for me. “You

were brought up by me since you were a child. I couldn’t stand the thought of

you going through even the slightest amount of anguish. But you accepted

the responsibility for your sister in order to save me…”

“I don’t understand how Julio can be so heartless as to use me to threaten

you over and over again; I’m sorry if I can’t continue with my treatment

anymore. I don’t want to put you through that misery. I don’t want others to

slander you, drag you down, and let them hurt you over and over again. I’m

leaving.”

“I want you to know that the reason I’ve done this is because I love you. I love

you so much, my dear daughter. Goodbye…”

And I burst into tears, the piece of paper crumpled in my hand as I cursed

repeatedly under my breath, my anger brewed like a storm at sea. I wanted

to scream but I couldn’t. I sobbed as I collapsed to the ground on my knees. I

swear! I will let the people responsible for my mom’s death pay and suffer!

And I will never stop until I didn’t get the justice that my mom deserved!
