Mum Has Cancer (Transcript)

The kids have overheard Mr. Besson on the phone that his wife, Hayden's aunt, Zoe and Josh's mum, Mrs. Besson, has cancer. They were all shocked by the news as well as upset.

Zoe: No!

Mr. Besson: Is it treatable?

Doctor: Unfortunately not, she has stage 4 cancer. That means she won't have much time to live so it's best if you visit her. And spend some time with her,

Mr. Besson: What about the kids?

Doctor: Unfortunately, minors aren't allowed to visit their mother because we can't expose them to cancer.

Mr. Besson: But my son is 16 and my nephew and daughter are 15, is there any exceptions?

Doctor: We can't, your children have medical issues. Not only they caught a mysterious bug but Josh had an overdose as well as asthma, dyslexia, depression and anxiety. While Hayden has diabetes, depression and anxiety and Zoe has allergies to dust and smoke as well as depression and anxiety.

Mr. Besson: (sighs) Alright.

Doctor: Come to the hospital to see your wife.

Mr. Besson: I will.

The line went dead and the kids were upset and confused. Now that they know that Mrs. Besson has terminal cancer, Josh, Hayden and Zoe were scared and afraid of what will happen to their mother.

Kandace: Is it true? Hayden has diabetes?

Hayden: Yeah, I'm managing it as of now. I have an insulin pump inserted.

Kandace: Okay.

Zoe: Anyways, we're going to deal with our mum's illness while we deal with Kayla? Unbelievable.

Josh: Hey, everything will be fine. Mum will be able to fight this, for us.

Zoe: I know.

Sofia: Hey, I know you desperately want to see your mum but because of your conditions, you can't.

Josh: We could video call.

That's when Mr. Besson knocked on the door. The kids stood up from their position as Zoe opened the door to her father.

Zoe: Hey dad.

Mr. Besson: Kids, let's go see mum.

Hayden: Okay.

Sofia: What about us?

Mr. Besson: You don't have to come, family business.

Sofia: Okay.

Kandace: Guess this is goodbye then.

Zoe: Bye Kandace, bye Sofia.

Sofia: Bye.

Kandace: Bye.

Mr. Besson, Josh, Hayden and Zoe went to the car to visit their mum as Kandace and Sofia went home. They drove from the small suburbs into the big city where the hospital is. They soon arrived and Mr. Besson followed the doctor to the rooms while the kids stayed in the waiting room.

Josh: Hayden, you have diabetes right?

Hayden: Yeah and it sucks.

Zoe: I get the feeling of dealing with a condition and mental health problems.

Hayden: That's how it is being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Song: A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers

Hayden: #Got the news today #Doctor said I had to stay a little bit longer and I'll be fine #When I thought it'd all been done #When I thought it'd all been said #A little bit longer and I'll be fine #But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone #And you don't know what it's like to feel so low #And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow #You don't even know, no, no #You don't even know #All this time goes by, still no reason why #A little bit longer and I'll be fine #Waiting on a cure, but none of them are sure #A little bit longer and I'll be fine #But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone #And you don't know what it's like to feel so low #And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow #You don't even know, no, no #You don't even know #You don't even know, no, no #You don't even know, no, no #Yeah #But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone #And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah #And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow #You don't even know, yeah, oh #You don't even know, no, no #So I'll wait 'til kingdom come #All the highs and lows are gone #A little bit longer and I'll be fine #I'll be fine#

Zoe: Wow, that's what it's like having diabetes?

Hayden: Yeah. I always listen to this song, A Little Bit Longer by the Jonas Brothers. Nick Jonas has diabetes.

Josh: That's nice.

Hayden: But while I was in Sydney, your sister thought I was faking. She threw away all my insulin and forced me to do a lot of stuff for her so I didn't have much insulin. So your dad had to take me to the hospital because I had DKA and almost in a diabetic coma. Luckily I wasn't in a coma but because I told your dad that I was being mistreated by Addison, we decided to move to Perth.

Zoe: I'm sorry for the way Addison mistreated you.

Josh: We'll make it up to you, Zoe is an inventor so she is able to fix your pump in case it malfunctions.

Zoe: Yeah.

Hayden: Thanks guys. You know how much it's going to mean for me.

Zoe: Don't sweat it, mate.

Meanwhile in the hospital, Mr. Besson sat next to his wife who is still in bed. She is being bedridden because of her cancer and couldn't go back to work because of that.

Mr. Besson: Hey Ariella.

Mrs. Besson: Hey Josh. So I want to tell you something.

Mr. Besson: What is it?

Mrs. Besson: If I die, you need to take the kids with you overseas, start a new life and move on.

Mr. Besson: Where?

Mrs. Besson: Singapore, but before that, make Addison look after them while you look for a house or flat in Singapore.

Mr. Besson: But Addison took advantage of Hayden months ago.

Mrs. Besson: Then you have no choice.

Mr. Besson: Okay.

Mrs. Besson: Thank you.

Mr. Besson: Ariella, why do you want Addison to go back to Perth to look after the kids?

Mrs. Besson: She has spent too long in the luxurious city of Sydney. We want her to go back to Perth anytime.

Mr. Besson: She's spoiled.

Mrs. Besson: Just listen to me before I die.

Mr. Besson: But what if she takes advantage to our kids? Like they won't be able to go to school anymore because of her.

Mrs. Besson: Can you not ask questions like that?

Mr. Besson: Sorry, I'm just concerned because Addison has been acting like his ever since she went to secondary school.

Mrs. Besson: Do you want to know why? Ever since secondary school, she started going to with all of the popular kids in school. Even though we're rich, we still live in a house in the suburbs. She is embarrassed because of our lifestyle and because of her friends and we can't just simply move to a mansion. We're saving money because we want our kids to study in Singapore.

Mr. Besson: Why Singapore? Why not here?

Mrs. Besson: They've been dealing with Kayla.

Mr. Besson: How do you know?! They kept this a secret from us.

Mrs. Besson: Even though they kept it a secret, we knew Kayla ever since the kids, Josh and Zoe, went to secondary school. She is a dangerous threat to them so that's why we want them to study in Singapore. Away from Australia. Where they are safe.

Mr. Besson: But isn't Kayla expelled?

Mrs. Besson: She is expelled and sent to New Zealand.

Mr. Besson: Oh. But what if the kids see Kayla when she's in Singapore?

Mrs. Besson: They'll expose her.

Mr. Besson: Okay.

Back in the waiting room, Zoe is trying to upgrade her glasses while Josh plays Minecraft on his phone.

Hayden: Still playing Minecraft?

Josh: Yup, you can play it in your phone.

Hayden: Cool.

Zoe: Guys, check this out.

Zoe pressed the button in her glasses which scans the entire environment for liars.

Hayden: Woah.

Zoe: It scans the environment in case a liar comes by.

Josh: What other inventions do you have does the same thing?

Zoe: My bracelet, watch, jackets and headbands. I did this to everyone's jackets and hoodies.

Hayden: Wait really?

Zoe: Yeah, try it.

Hayden and Josh pressed the button which is built in and is part of their hoodies. They can now easily scan the environment for liars like Zoe.

Josh: Cool.

Hayden: So awesome.

Zoe: I really am an inventor.

Josh: And the best one yet.

Zoe: Thanks, Josh.

Mr. Besson: Kids, I'm back.

The kids turned off their devices.

Mr. Besson: What were you doing?

Zoe: Nothing.

Mr. Besson: It better not be naughty.

Kids: Okay.
