Taylor was a wealthy businessman who distrusted doctors deeply due to a painful childhood experience. When his wife Polly asked to hire a nanny to help care for their three young children, Taylor refused, believing money shouldn’t be wasted on “unnecessary” help. His stubbornness extended to health emergencies — when Polly fainted, he refused to call a doctor, instead relying on a neighbor nurse. Despite Polly’s anemia diagnosis and recovery, Taylor remained convinced that his family didn’t need outside help.
One morning, Taylor was stuck in a severe traffic jam on the way to an important meeting. When an ambulance approached with sirens blaring, Taylor refused to move his SUV, doubting the emergency and blocking the ambulance’s path. The ambulance driver pleaded with him, revealing that a child inside urgently needed care, but Taylor coldly refused, ignoring the law and everyone’s pleas. The ambulance driver had to take a risky detour to get through.
Later that day, Taylor’s world shattered when he learned his son Mark had been rushed to the hospital after a serious accident. Polly explained that the ambulance had been delayed by the traffic jam, and Taylor realized that his refusal to move had almost cost his son’s life. Overwhelmed by guilt and regret, he broke down in tears, understanding how his mistrust and pride had endangered his family.
After Mark’s successful surgery, Taylor apologized to the ambulance driver, James, and offered him a job as his personal driver to help support James’s family. Taylor also hired James’s wife as a nanny, finally accepting the help his family needed. This painful experience changed Taylor’s outlook on money, trust, and family care. He became an advocate for emergency services and learned never to let fear or pride put his loved ones at risk again.
