They moved slowly to the car and the lady kept thanking Max for his help and being so patient. He said it was his job to treat every passenger like he would treat his mother. «Oh, you are such a good boy!» she said. She took the back seat and named the address. Max understood that she was going to hospital.
She asked Max to drive through the city centre though it involved extra time. She did not mind the distance and the time. She said she was not in a hurry. She told Max her family had left long before and the doctor said that her chances were not good. Her eyes filled with tears.
Max switched off the counter and asked the lady which route she preferred. The next two hours they were driving through the city. She showed Max the building she had worked in and the dance hall she had visited as a little girl. They went to the district she had lived in with her husband after their marriage.
Finally, she said she was tired and they drove in silence, directly to the hospital. It was a low building that looked more like a small holiday centre. Two nurses came up quickly to them as if they were waiting. They carefully helped her out of the taxi into the wheelchair. «How much do I owe you?» she said looking at Max. «Nothing», he answered.
«You need to earn your living», she added, opening her bag. «There are other passengers», answered Max. He bent down and embraced the old lady. She hugged in return. «Thank you for the little happiness you gave me», she whispered. On his way home Max did not switch on the radio. He drove in silence. He had an impression that it was the most important trip of his life.
