Truck Driver Helps Unconscious Lady Lying in the Middle of the Road, Days Later They Meet Again — Story of the Day
A truck driver saves a young woman’s life on a wintry night. Days later, their paths cross again when the young woman does something unexpected for him.
It was a dark wintry night when Arthur was returning home after a difficult shift. He worked as a truck driver in Texas, taking several shifts a week because his family was in dire need of money.

A year later, they had nearly 70% of the funds for the operation, but the remaining 30% was still a significant sum.

I guess it’ll be a while before I get home, the man thought, slowing down to a crawl and continuing to drive.
It was pitch black outside, with no visibility. There wasn’t a soul in sight, and all Arthur could see was snow and a street light somewhere in the distance—that is, until he drove a little further and noticed a silhouette in the middle of the road.
