Upon hearing Sophia's mocking tone, Lea shot her a frustrated glare. "You're the one who could be tricked by a few pieces of candy. I'm not a toddler, and I don't even like sweets!"
Sophia retorted with a sugary smile. "Oh? Is that so? Then why don't you tell us what kind of person can win your approval as a 'nice person' in just a few minutes?"
Lea huffed. "It didn't take me a few minutes to recognize her as a good person. I've known her for a while now, and I'm absolutely certain that she is a wonderful individual."
Bertha, seeing her daughter's odd behavior, pulled Lea aside anxiously. "Tell me, who is this person who has earned such high praise from you?"
Lea shifted her annoyed gaze from Sophia to her mother and explained earnestly. "Mom, remember when you and dad had that big fight years ago and we left home? The person who donated her blood to you after your car accident? I just saw her upstairs! Doesn't that make her a nice person?"
Bertha gasped in surprise. "What? You actually saw that kind-hearted lady? It's been several years; are you sure it's her?"
Lea nodded confidently. "I'm positive! Plus, I talked to her, and she remembered the incident too."
Bertha was overjoyed and turned to her husband excitedly. "Thaddeus, it’s the life-saving angel we've been searching for all these years. We've encountered her here today. It must be fate, don't you think?"
Thaddeus nodded in agreement. "Of course, it's fate. I must express my gratitude to that lady today."
