Alicia turned around and ran back. In an instant, her eyes were flooded with tears.

She rushed over to Lovely Scent. The flames were so fierce that she couldn't even get through the door. She shouted, "Aunt Freya! Where are you?! Is there anyone who can help me? Please help me..." She kept wailing as she tried to squeeze her way through while avoiding the flames inside.

It was at this moment that Freya, who continually evaded the flames and debris, immediately rushed towards the door as soon as she noticed Alicia.

"Ally, you shouldn't be here! It's too dangerous. Leave now!"

"Don't get into your car. Someone has sabotaged it! Ahem, Ahem..."

"Just leave me!"

Freya pounced and continuously waved her hand as she shouted non-stop. The flames had separated them. Alicia dashed forward, but Freya frantically chased her away on the other side. "Aunt Freya, give me your hand! I'll pull you out!"

"Remember Ally, don't drive your car! The store is filled with flammable materials and it's going to

explode soon. Go now!"

"No, Aunt Freya... I can't possibly leave you..."

She kept on extending her hand while evading the flames. Alicia tried to grab Freya's hand to pull her out. Instead, Freya reached out to her hand and spoke while she squeezed Alicia's hand tightly,

"I'm the one who got you into this trouble, Ally! You still have a long way ahead of you, so you should leave now! Don't worry about me.. I'm already injured, so it's impossible for me to escape. Please remember my words... Do not get into your car! Take care of yourself and get out of here this instance!"

"Ally, apart from that, please keep in mind that a piece of you will remain in this fire forever. Therefore, you must cherish the rest of your life and be aware of those dangerous people around you!" "I want you to live on for me..."

Alicia couldn't bring herself to leave, so Freya determinedly pushed her as her leg was dragged on the ground. Freya's ring had fallen off her finger while Alicia tried to hang onto her hands.

"Run!"

Freya used all of her strength to push her out of the room. She then turned around and ran back in.

"Aunt Freya, don't do this!"

"Go now!"
