Minghao threw his phone onto the bed, walking out of his room to see what his mother wanted.

"Mum, what's up?" Calls Minghao as he is halfway down the wooden staircase. He could hear small, quiet sobs come from the lounge, which made him scared and confused.

Inside of the room was his mother, his father next to her and rubbing her back soothingly. Mother was crying, her head in her small hands.

Minghao suddenly thought the worst had happened, "Mother, wh-what's wrong?"

His father turned back with a sad smile, "Sit down, Minghao." Father gestured to the chair opposite of the love-seat his parents were seated in. Minghao slowly sat down in the armchair, his hands shaking.

"This may upset you," His father started, "Your... Your mother has c-" He stopped due to the large amount of tears flooding down is face.

"What? What is it?" Says the now-concerned Minghao, tears now brimming his eyes.

"Cancer. Sh-She has cancer."
