Blessing was shocked when he heard the kind of advice Victoria gave to Mr. Alex. Those words are words Blessing could not have thought to give to anyone who felt down or thought of dying as the only solution to their pain, guilt, or trouble, which was why Blessing was shocked that Victoria could give such words to a strange man.
Blessing also came to realize that there is more about Ore-ofe’s intelligence and smartness that he doesn’t know yet. Blessing also wondered how Victoria learn and knows of those compelling, consoling, motivating, and amazing words that can help one regardless of one mood, emotional state, and feelings.
Blessing wondered how Victoria was able to easily and quickly mature in her young age which was how she grew up. If Blessing hadn’t known Victoria when she was little, he would have thought that Victoria took classes to learn and know those words and become very mature due to teaching from a good teacher or master.
