Victoria realized that Alicia was out of it, therefore she held her hands as they exchanged looks. She didn't ask further questions about it.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Alicia shook her head. "No! I just want to be... alone!"

Similarly, she also rejected Marshall's request afterward. She feared that Victoria wouldn't be safe staying here, thus she dragged Victoria out together.

"Victoria, let's leave together! Don't stay in this kind of place for long!"

"Got it! I still have to wait for a friend to get something, I'll leave in a while! I'll be careful, don't worry about me! Ally, did you encounter something? If you need help, just call us. Alone we can do so little but together we can do so much. Don't just keep it to yourself. You would be defeated if you keep everything in!"

"I know! I'll tell you everything I can!" However, even Alicia herself hadn't cleared her own doubts yet.

The duo spoke for a while. After reminding Victoria several things, only then did she leave.

That night, Alicia's mind was in too much of a mess. Fortunately, there weren't many cars around. Alicia stopped before a bridge opposite a mall while gazing at the neon lights and the crowd of people that was faraway. Many scenes kept replaying themselves in her mind. Her one-night stand with Frederick, their lightning-fast marriage... Everything flashed across her mind like scenes from a movie. Uncontrollably, tears blurred her vision.

The place where they lived was Landrum Garden. It was full of jasmine flowers. The house and the courtyard were filled with the fragrance of jasmine.
