Man Helps Hitchhiker Get Home—Shocked by Next Day’s News

Story begins

Carter had always been the kind of person who couldn’t ignore someone in need. So, when he saw a young hitchhiker named Avery stranded on the side of the road, he didn’t hesitate to offer her a ride. It was a scorching summer afternoon, and he simply wanted to help. He dropped her off at a small house on the edge of town, expecting nothing in return except the warm smile she gave him in thanks.

The next morning, as Carter sipped his coffee and casually glanced at the news, his hands trembled, and his breath caught in his throat. His face turned pale as the reporter’s words sank in. The very girl he had helped the day before was now at the center of a shocking headline, and the truth unfolding on the screen left him frozen in disbelief.
