A childless bus driver comes to the rescue of a pregnant woman who goes into labor on the bus. He switches routes to drive her to the hospital, never imagining how she would transform his life two years later.<\/p>\n
Bill loved children and always carried a small candy box during his shift every day. He was a bus driver and loved treating the kids who rode on his bus to some goodies.<\/p>\n
Being around naughty and chirpy little kids comforted Bill. It eased his sorrow and helped him forget he was childless. His wife, Julia, couldn\u2019t conceive due to some health issues.<\/p>\n
Bill\u2019s world was very small. It was just him, his wife, and their dog, Coco. He became the solid support Julia needed to overcome her grief. \u201cGod is watching over us, and He will surely answer our prayers one day,\u201d he often told her.<\/p>\n
One day, Bill was busy driving when he heard chaos on the bus. Suddenly, a man came running to him and said: \u201cDriver, there\u2019s a pregnant woman on the bus. I think she\u2019s in labor\u2026Please, do something!\u201d<\/p>\n
God watches over His children and always answers our prayers unexpectedly.
\nBill was alarmed and realized he had no time to waste. He turned around and saw only five or six passengers on board. He stepped on the gas and drove as fast as he could.
\nThe nearest hospital was five stops away, and time was running out. Bill had previously worked as a taxi driver, so he knew most of the shortcuts. Moreover, getting to the hospital would take half an hour on a direct route, and the woman was in terrible pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on, Miss! We\u2019ll get there on time! Please hold on!\u201d he shouted from the front.<\/p>\n
Bill thought his passengers would understand it was an emergency, so he switched routes and sped up, arriving at the hospital in ten minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus\u2026thank you so much!\u201d he gasped as the lady was taken inside. She panted and puffed in pain as she lay on the stretcher.<\/p>\n
Bill was about to get onto the bus and leave when a nurse shouted to him: \u201cExcuse me, sir! She said she left her bag on the bus! \u201d<\/p>\n
Bill quickly retrieved the lady\u2019s handbag and gave it to the nurse before taking off with the other passengers.<\/p>\n
That whole day, Bill was worried about the woman. He was glad he helped her get to the hospital on time, but he wanted to make sure she and her baby were alright. He decided to visit her a week later.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you going to visit that woman today?\u201d Julia asked Bill as he left home for work. He had told her everything about the encounter that happened a week ago. \u201cPlease don\u2019t go empty-handed. Buy something nice for the newborn!\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill kissed his wife and left. At the end of his shift, he went to the hospital to visit the woman. He learned her name was Sophia, but she was no longer at the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe left yesterday with her baby,\u201d the nurse informed Bill. He was pretty disappointed. He had bought a onesie and a warm blanket for the newborn.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have her address?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, one minute\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill took down Sophia\u2019s address and went to meet her. As he neared, he found out that the address was of a shelter for the homeless. \u201cShe lives here?\u201d he wondered.
\nHe hurried inside to meet Sophia and her baby but came out disheartened. It turned out that she had moved out that morning, and nobody knew where she had gone.<\/p>\n
Bill returned home disappointed. \u201cI should have visited her sooner. It\u2019s my mistake,\u201d he grumbled.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarling, it\u2019s okay. Maybe somebody came for her. Let\u2019s hope she and her baby are fine now,\u201d Julia comforted Bill.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the couple forgot about Sophia and her baby. Everything returned to normal until one day, two years later, when Bill noticed something unusual as he got on the bus. He saw a woman fidgeting with a heart-shaped locket and was drawn to Sophia\u2019s picture in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know this woman? Is her name Sophia?\u201d he asked the lady.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. But how do you know Sophia?\u201d the woman asked as Bill grabbed the locket and stared closely at the picture.
\n\u201cI can never forget that face\u2026I still remember how she screamed in pain that day\u2026How is she? I hope she and her baby are doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bill saw the woman turn pale as tears slowly rose in her eyes. He was unprepared for the heartbreaking revelation about Sophia and her baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
