Maid: I'm coming! I've got you!
Baby: (Crying hysterically) Waaaah! Waaaah!
The seconds stretched into an agonizing eternity under the high-key bright daylight lighting as Victoria threw the baby downward toward the hard floor[cite: 2]. Eleanor didn't hesitate for a fraction of a second, her survival instincts overriding her own fear as she launched herself forward across the slippery expanse[cite: 2].
Maid: Hold on to him, dear Lord! Don't let go!
Victoria: (Gasps from above) Oh no... what have I done?
The American flag hanging near the grand staircase seemed to mock the lack of protection within these luxury walls[cite: 2]. With a desperate burst of adrenaline, Eleanor pushed her body to its absolute physical limit, racing across the light marble floor and diving forward with arms outstretched to catch the falling baby safely[cite: 2].
Maid: (Screaming in distress) Aah! I've got you!
Rapid running footsteps slapped furiously against the bright white marble floor as Eleanor absorbed the crushing momentum[cite: 2]. A heavy catch thud echoed through the hall as her body collided with the stone, wrapping securely around the infant to shield him from the impact[cite: 2].
Maid: I've got you! You're safe now[cite: 3]!
Baby: (Sobbing uncontrollably) Whimper... wail...
Maid: Shh, my sweet boy, you're okay. Eleanor is right here. Nobody is ever going to hurt you again.
Sitting on the marble floor near the American flag with a shallow depth of field framing the scene, Eleanor clutched the crying baby close while weeping hysterically with tears of relief[cite: 3]. Loud crying and emotional weeping echoed off the vaulted ceilings as she rocked back and forth, holding the newborn against her royal blue maid uniform and white apron[cite: 3]. Every muscle in her body ached from the violent dive, but her fierce protective instincts refused to let her loosen her grip[cite: 3].
Maid: How could a mother do that? What kind of monster tries to kill her own baby over money?
Baby: (Crying) Mama... mama...
Maid: I've got you, sweetheart. You are safe now, I promise[cite: 3].
