Freedom

Fan Xiao Yao didn't want to disturb the kids that was why she pressed on the volume button to silence the ringtone. After she did so, she checked on the caller ID and found out that it was a call from an unknown number and yet, it was a number she recognized. 

She left the living room in a hurry and went inside her room, locking it in the process. She answered the call soon after, pressing the phone against her ear.

"You shouldn't be calling me right now." She scolded in a whispering tone. "Mello's here. What if he caught us?"

"Ah... I'm sorry for troubling you, Xiao Yao. I just want to check on my sons." A woman's smooth and calm voice was heard from the other line.
