Fighting For Life(English Transcript)

Zoe: (narrating) It has been a day after I heard the news from the boys. And now, I am going to see Raphael. It is raining outside so I have to wear my high cut trainers and a jacket to prevent getting wet. I am currently waiting for my friends in the hallways because I came here last. Probably because of bad traffic and the downpour was horrible.

Aidan, Thaiyo, Yuto, Ankit and Sheryl went up to Zoe.

Sheryl: Hey Zoe.

Zoe: Oh hey.

Aidan: We're about to see Raphael, do you want to come.

Zoe: Sure, I'm coming with you.

Yuto: Alright.

Sheryl: Then let's go.

Zoe followed her friends through the hallways and into the waiting room. This is where Mrs. Lau is waiting to see her son.

Mrs. Lau: Hi.

Zoe: Hi Mrs. Lau. Rainy day isn't it.

Mrs. Lau: Yeah. How are you?

Zoe: I'm good, how are you?

Mrs. Lau: Desperately waiting to see my son. He was misdiagnosed last week and his diabetes got worse.

Zoe: He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was rushed here?

Mrs. Lau: Yeah, because a doctor misdiagnosed him. If he hadn't been treated, then what will happen once he wakes up?

Zoe: I dunno.

After a while, a doctor came up to the kids and Raphael's mum.

Doctor: Raphael Lau?

Mrs. Lau: We're here.

Doctor: So we managed to stabilize him. He is still in a coma but we managed to treat him. He is already suffering from Diabetic Ketoacidosis. DKA for short. He is still in the children's intensive care unit where he is being treated. Follow me.

They followed the doctor to the children's intensive care where Raphael is. Mrs. Lau broke down while Sheryl, Aidan, Yuto, Thaiyo, Ankit and Zoe remained quiet. She couldn't bare seeing wires, tubes and needles on a young boy. Especially if he is in his early to mid teenage years.

Zoe: I couldn't imagine seeing a mum cry for her child. Especially if he has diabetes.

Aidan: I know.

Thaiyo: It kinda hurts seeing Mrs. Lau like that.

The kids sat on the floor outside of Raphael's room since only Mrs. Lau is the only one allowed to enter. The kids aren't allowed to see him, especially Sheryl.

Sheryl: So why did you decide to bring Zoe here?

Aidan: She's the smartest girl in our class.

Sheryl: Oh, I thought it was Mata.

Yuto: Mata is just lazy and we don't trust girls. Except for Zoe.

Zoe: I'm the only one they could trust now. Even after Raphael wakes up from a coma.

Sheryl: I'm pretty sure he likes you.
