Evelyn tried to scramble out of the slippery bathtub.
Stepmother: Mark, please! It was just a misunderstanding!
Father: Do not move a single inch!
Mark pointed his finger aggressively at his trembling wife.
Father: She attacked my child! Arrest her right now!
The two police officers stepped forward without hesitation.
One officer grabbed Evelyn's arms firmly behind her back.
Metal handcuffs clicked tightly onto her wet wrists.
Evelyn began screaming and thrashing against the officers.
Stepmother: You can't do this to me in my home!
Father: You are leaving this mansion in chains for life!
The officers hauled Evelyn out of the water forcefully.
They dragged her down the long marble hallway outside.
Evelyn's cries faded as they reached the front entrance.
Mark held Lily tight against his chest, soothing her.
Sarah handed Mark a wet cold towel for Lily.
Father: Thank you, Sarah. You saved my little girl.
Staff: I heard her crying, Mr. Davis. I had to act.
Paramedics arrived at the mansion just moments later.
They carefully checked Lily's hand and applied healing ointment.
The EMT assured Mark that the burn would heal fully.
Mark stroked Lily's hair and made a silent vow.
He would protect his daughter from every single threat.
