Emma was always tired. She worked long hours at the hospital, rushing from one patient to another, barely having time to eat or rest. At home, things weren’t any easier. Her mom was sick, and Emma spent her nights caring for her, giving medicine, and making sure she was comfortable. Money was tight. The bills piled up on the kitchen table, and every day felt like a battle to keep everything together.

But Emma didn’t complain. She loved her job because it let her help people, even if it meant sacrificing her own comfort. One stormy night, after finishing a double shift, Emma stepped outside the hospital to get some fresh air.

That’s when she saw him. A man in rags, lying on the ground near the entrance. His clothes were soaked, and he looked pale and weak.

Without thinking twice, Emma ran to him. Are you okay? She asked, kneeling beside him. The man groaned, but didn’t answer.

Emma quickly called for help, and together with another nurse, they carried him inside. Back in the emergency room, Emma cleaned his cuts, wrapped him in a warm blanket, and gave him something to drink. He didn’t say much, just stared at her with quiet gratitude.

Before he left, Emma handed him a small amount of cash from her pocket. Take this, she said softly. Buy yourself some food.

The man hesitated, then nodded. Thank you, he whispered, his voice barely audible. Emma smiled weakly.

We all need help sometimes. She had no idea that this simple act of kindness would change both their lives forever. The man Emma had helped that stormy night stayed on her mind.

She didn’t know his name or where he had gone after leaving the hospital, but something about him stuck with her. Maybe it was the way he looked at her, like she was the only person who cared. A few days later, Emma noticed him again.

This time, he was sitting on a bench outside the hospital, his clothes still ragged but cleaner than before. He seemed lost in thought, staring at the ground. Emma approached him cautiously.

Hi, she said softly. Are you feeling better? The man looked up, surprised to see her. Oh, yes, thank you, he replied, his voice hesitant.

You really helped me the other night. It’s my job, Emma said with a shrug. But I’m glad you’re okay.

They talked for a while. The man introduced himself as Daniel, though he didn’t share much about his past. Emma didn’t press him.

She knew not everyone wanted to talk about their struggles. Instead, she offered him a sandwich she had packed for her lunch. I’m not hungry, she lied, smiling.

Take it, Daniel hesitated again but eventually accepted. You’re too kind, he said quietly. Over the next few weeks, Emma kept seeing Daniel around the hospital.

Sometimes he would sit on the bench. Other times he stood near the entrance, watching people come and go. Each time, Emma stopped to check on him, bringing food or spare change when she could.

One evening, after a particularly tough shift, Emma found Daniel waiting for her outside. I wanted to thank you, he said, holding out an envelope. This is for you, Emma frowned, taking the envelope.
