"Mom's not talking?"
"Mama!"
"Maaa~ma!"
Yi Luowa wiped her tears as she spoke hoarsely to the kids, "Mama's here, Mama heard your voices and got so happy she couldn't speak."
"Not Mama!"
"You're not mama! Give me back my Mama!"
Yi Luowa's voice was so hoarse that the two kids couldn't recognize it. They pointed at the phone and started crying.
Yi Luowa quickly cleared her throat. "Good babies, don't cry. I'm Mama."
"Stop crying. If you cry, Mama will feel sad," Tong Airui's voice came through the phone.
Yi Luowa sniffled. "Honey, please calm them down."
Tong Airui tried to soothe the two kids, but the little ones were adamant: the voice on the phone was not their mama!
Tong Airui helplessly suggested, "Wife, let's switch to a video call?"
"Alright." Yi Luowa hung up and dialed back using a video app.
As soon as the kids saw their mother, they instantly stopped crying.
