A moment later, Wendy's finger tapped the answer button and she said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Hello, is this Leah or Jake?"
"Mummy, it's me, it's me, it's Leah," Leah said with a cheerful smile. "Mummy, you should be off work, right? What are you doing now?"
"I'm thinking about you," Wendy's tone was gentle.
"Mummy, why aren't you on video today?" Leah said, "Mummy, turn on the video. I want to see you."
"I... " Wendy was afraid they would ask her to turn on the video while she was in the hospital.
If she turned on the video, they would know she was sick, and they would be worried.
"Wendy, turn on the video. I haven't seen you since yesterday, and both kids and I want to see you today," Michael followed suit.
"This... " Wendy said with a slight sigh. "I'm already in bed after a shower so it's a bit embarrassing to turn on the video. Tomorrow, I'll definitely turn on the video."
