Zia Sutton pointed at Cynthia Chambers in astonishment: "She... was it just a coincidence?"
He wasn't surprised that Cynthia Chambers reacted, but rather that the "12" she had written stroke by stroke on the bench was the answer to the question Thea Shaw had just asked.
But the problem now is that, even with Zia's limited understanding, he knows that it's remarkable for a typical two-year-old to express even slightly what they mean, let alone doing math?????
This is way too ridiculously unbelievable!
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"
Zia flatly refuses to believe it. Others who heard him asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zia pointed incredulously at Cynthia Chambers: "Just now, Thea asked her a question, and it seemed like Cynthia answered it, and answered correctly at that."
"How could that be possible?"
Celia Chambers clearly didn't believe it. She looked at Thea Shaw with surprise: "Thea, did you ask Cynthia any questions just now?"
