Poor Delivery Girl Gave Up Her Job To Save A Dying Old Man, Unaware He’s Billionaire’s Father

A Chance Encounter That Changed Everything
On a scorching afternoon in Abuja, Adana, a young delivery rider, zipped through the chaotic streets on her bike. Her focus was sharp—she had only 17 minutes to deliver a fragile, prepaid package. Failure meant losing the job that kept her and her twin sisters afloat. But fate had other plans that day.
As she approached a busy expressway, she heard faint screams. “Help! Somebody help!” The cries grew louder, but no one stopped. On the roadside lay an elderly man, his white caftan stained with blood and dirt, his walking stick broken beside him. A reckless taxi had struck him and sped off, leaving him groaning in pain. A crowd had gathered, whispering warnings: “Don’t touch him. If he dies, the police will blame you.” Others shook their heads and walked away.
Adana froze, torn between her urgent delivery and the dying man. Her mother’s voice echoed in her mind: “Even if the world turns its back on you, never turn your back on those you can help.” Tears welled up in her eyes. She had seconds to decide. Save her job or save the man? She jumped off her bike.
“Help me!” she shouted to the crowd. No one moved. With trembling hands, she hoisted the man onto her delivery bike, balancing his limp body across her back. Ignoring the stares and whispers, she sped off into traffic, heading straight for the nearest hospital.
A Life Saved
The hospital smelled of antiseptic and urgency as Adana burst through the doors, dragging the man inside. Nurses rushed forward, placing him on a wheelchair and wheeling him into the emergency room. “Are you his relative?” a nurse asked. Adana shook her head. “No, I found him on the road.”
Searching his bloodstained pocket, she found a cracked phone. One number was saved as My Son. She dialed, and a deep male voice answered. “Yes, Dad?” Adana quickly explained the situation, and the man on the other end shouted, “I’m coming now!”
Thirty minutes later, a sleek black SUV screeched into the hospital parking lot. A tall man in his late 20s, dressed in a crisp white agbada, rushed inside. “Where is he? My father!” he yelled. Adana stepped forward nervously. “You’re his son?” she asked. He nodded. “Are you the one who called?” “Yes,” she replied. “I brought him here.”
The man froze, staring at her in disbelief. “You brought him on that bike?” Adana nodded. Without another word, he rushed into the emergency room. Doctors were stabilizing the old man, but they warned his son that if he had been brought in even a few minutes later, he might not have survived. “Do everything within your power to save him,” the man said. “I’ll pay whatever it costs.”
A Sacrifice Revealed
Exhausted, Adana returned to the scene of the accident to retrieve her delivery box, only to find it stolen. Her heart sank. She knew what this meant—her job was gone. Her phone vibrated. It was her manager, Kunlay. “What do you mean the box is gone?” he shouted angrily. “You’re fired!”
Adana sat outside the hospital, tears streaming down her face. She had risked everything to save a stranger, and now she had nothing. As she wiped her eyes, the man—Andrew—approached her. “Adana, right?” he asked gently. She nodded. “My father’s stable now. The doctors said if you hadn’t brought him in when you did, he wouldn’t have made it.” Adana felt a wave of relief.
Andrew studied her closely. “You lost your delivery, didn’t you?” She nodded, her voice cracking. “My manager fired me. The box is gone, the goods, everything.” Andrew exhaled sharply. “You work for Swift Dispatch, right?” Adana looked up in surprise. “Yes. How do you know?” Andrew gave a small smile. “Because I own the company.”
Adana froze. “What?” she whispered. Andrew continued, “Your manager reports to my logistics team. What’s your full name?” She told him, still stunned. Andrew pulled out his phone and called her manager. “Reverse the firing immediately. Replace the lost goods and assign someone else to deliver them. No excuses.” He hung up.
“You didn’t have to do that,” Adana said, her voice trembling. “Yes, I did,” Andrew replied. “You gave up your job to save my father. That’s not something you walk past like it’s nothing.”
A New Beginning
As they sat in the hospital’s waiting area, Andrew asked about her life. Slowly, Adana opened up. She told him about the robbery that took her parents’ lives a year ago, leaving her to care for her twin sisters, Mara and Mimi. She had sold everything—her laptop, school books—just to survive. School had become a distant dream, replaced by the harsh reality of working as a courier to feed her family.
Andrew listened intently, his respect for her growing with every word. “You stopped to help a stranger despite everything you’ve been through,” he said. “That’s extraordinary.”
Later that evening, Andrew drove Adana home to meet her sisters. Their small, cramped apartment stood in stark contrast to his polished Bentley and designer clothes. Adana felt a pang of embarrassment as they stepped inside, but Andrew didn’t seem to notice. He knelt to greet Mimi and Mara, who giggled shyly. “You girls are lucky,” he said softly. “Your sister is incredible.”
A Life Transformed
The next day, Andrew made a decision. “You’re not going back to that branch,” he told Adana. “I’ll transfer your employment record to my head office. But not as a dispatch rider. You’ll find out soon.”
He also offered to help her sisters. “Their education, your rent—all of it. From now on, you won’t have to worry about where the next meal is coming from.”
Adana was overwhelmed. “Sir, I don’t even know how to thank you.” Andrew’s voice softened. “You’ve already done more than enough.”
A week later, Adana and her sisters moved into Andrew’s mansion. The sprawling estate was like something out of a dream—marble floors, chandeliers, and a garden that stretched for acres. At first, Adana felt out of place, but Andrew’s father, Johnson, quickly erased all formality. “Adana, come sit with me,” he’d say. “This house has been quiet for too long. Your laughter has brought it back to life.”
Justice Served
Months passed, and Adana’s life began to stabilize. She was reenrolled in school, and her sisters attended a prestigious boarding academy. But one night, a woman appeared at their gate with shocking news. “Your parents’ deaths weren’t random,” she said. “It was planned by a businessman your father refused to work with.”
Adana, with Andrew’s help, launched an investigation. The evidence led to Dr. Kelvin, a powerful figure connected to corrupt land deals. After months of legal battles, Dr. Kelvin was convicted and sentenced to death. Adana finally found peace, knowing her parents had received justice.
A Love Blossoms
Through it all, something deeper began to grow between Adana and Andrew. He admired her strength, her kindness, and her resilience. One evening, under the soft glow of the garden lights, Andrew knelt before her. “From the moment you carried my father on that bike, I knew you were different. But now I realize I love you, Adana. Will you marry me?”
Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, “Yes.”
A New Chapter
Their wedding was a grand celebration, attended by government officials, celebrities, and delivery riders alike. Mimi and Mara walked down the aisle, throwing petals, while Johnson proudly gave Adana away. As Andrew and Adana exchanged vows, the mansion was filled with laughter, love, and hope.
Years later, Adana stood on stage at a youth conference, sharing her story. “One act of kindness can change everything,” she said. “I was a delivery girl, orphaned and struggling. But I stopped to help a stranger, not knowing he was the father of a billionaire. Today, I’m a wife, a mother, a graduate, and a manager at one of Nigeria’s biggest logistics companies. Kindness always finds a way to reward those who give it sincerely. My story is proof.”
In the front row, Mimi and Mara beamed with pride. And in Andrew’s arms sat their baby girl, Engi, named after the mother who taught Adana the true power of love and kindness.
