A truck driver finds a breathless woman on his daily route and realizes he needs to act immediately to help her — he could never have expected how she rewarded him.
It was a dark night in Texas when Luke Armstrong drove into town. The sky was starless and there was no moon, which gave the highway a very menacing look. But Luke, a trucker, had been driving trucks for a living for several years and was unbothered.
He had a lot of things on his mind, and he was driving slowly, thinking of solutions to his problems. He had a sick daughter named Anne, and he was worried she would succumb to her illness before he could gather enough money to pay for the surgery she needed.

Luke had been all over town looking to raise the money required, but times were hard, and nobody he knew could simply lend him all he needed. His family was not very rich and his wife’s family had distanced themselves from him as soon as she died.
“We never liked you for our daughter and now you’ve killed her, we hope you rot in hell,” they told him after the burial ceremony.
Luke knew no help would come from them. Even the banks would not grant him a loan because he had no collateral to offer.
As his truck rumbled on, he noticed a flashy sports car parked by the side of the road. It looked like it had a busted tire, but Luke couldn’t be too sure. He passed it without giving it a second thought and continued down the road.
Driving closer to home, his heart grew heavier, thinking of his daughter who was at the hospital surrounded by beeping machines that struggled to keep her alive as cancer ate away at her life force.
He was so lost in thought that he almost missed the prone figure of a human laying just by the side of the road. “What in God’s name,” he muttered as his truck rumbled to a stop beside the figure.
He took one look around to make sure it was safe to disembark from his truck and quickly moved to check if the person was alive. He noticed it was a lady as he picked up her hand to feel for a pulse.
