- I-i ha-have ca-cancer - Celestine confessed fighting with emotions.
"Bullshit", I thought to myself. The excuse was too lame and obvious to be the truth. In my mind, it had to be a lie, but Tihana seemed to approach the brunette's statement with a more open mind.
- Cancer? - she asked.
- Y-yes. I ha-had tho-se pa-pains i-in m-my ba-ack. I we-ent to do-octor to che-eck, and he-e to-old me-e I ha-ave tumo-or in my sp-spine col-umn - miss Carter explained.
- Wait... Please calm down. Take a breath, and then we will talk. Ok? - Tihana proposed, and she took a few steps forward.
She actually touched Celestine's shoulder, robbing on it lightly, as she guided the woman to her bed, to sit down on the edge. This calm approach really worked. The brunette followed, and soon both of the were sitting down, giving me an even better look at the situation through the keyhole.
