Moments later, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics took over, nodding with appreciation at the young man’s quick actions and careful monitoring. As they helped the woman onto a stretcher, she reached out and squeezed his hand. “Thank you,” she whispered, her eyes filled with a newfound understanding and gratitude.

He nodded, a humble acknowledgment of the gratitude expressed. “Take care, Grandma,” he replied gently.

As the ambulance drove away, the young man resumed his seat, placing his headphones back in his ears. The bus continued on its route, but the atmosphere had shifted. An elderly man seated near him leaned over and said, “You did good, son. Thank you.”
