At 5:30 in the morning, before the 5:40 alarm even went off, Elena was already awake.
As soon as she woke up, she turned to her mom lying next to her, "Mom, wake up. Or we'll be late to see Uncle Simon off."
"…" Daisy was still groggy, as she rarely woke up so early, even during those two years at the Duncan family. She usually slept until 6:30. But since her daughter was already awake, she had no choice but to open her eyes and reply, "Okay."
They quickly got ready, grabbed some fresh milk and bread from the refrigerator to eat on the road, and the mother-daughter duo headed out.
They took a cab directly to the airport.
When they arrived at the airport, it was not even 6:20. Elena had arranged to meet Simon at 7:00 the night before, so she was confident that they wouldn't miss him.
