Sarah scooped young Julian into her arms, holding his small head gently against her shoulder.
The frightened baby clung tightly to her apron as he sobbed from the recent shock.
She whispered soft words of comfort to calm his racing heart while stepping backward.
Victoria scrambled up from the marble floor, her expensive red dress rumpled from the fall.
Her face twisted with extreme anger as she pointed a finger back at the waitress.
She demanded that Sarah put the child down and leave the nursery at once.
Sarah stood her ground firmly, placing herself between the exit and the angry woman.
She refused to move an inch while holding the vulnerable child securely in her arms.
Victoria took a step forward, threatening to have Sarah fired from the estate immediately.
Sarah ignored the threat entirely, focusing all her attention on checking Julian for harm.
The baby was shaking, but Sarah's quick actions had kept him safe from real injury.
She backed away toward the open nursery doors while keeping a close eye on Victoria.
Victoria lunged forward again, trying to grab Sarah's arm to push her out of the way.
Sarah dodged the swipe smoothly and warned Victoria to stay away from the child.
The sound of heavy leather shoes echoed rapidly from the main entrance downstairs.
Arthur Vance had returned early from his meeting after forgetting important legal documents.
He heard the commotion upstairs and ran up the grand staircase two steps at a time.
The billionaire rushed down the long corridor toward the open doors of the nursery.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the chaotic scene unfolding before him.
Sarah was holding his weeping son near the entrance while Victoria stood menacingly nearby.
The dropped metal device sat on the floor near the crib as a clear danger sign.
Arthur's face turned pale with fear before turning bright red with overwhelming fatherly anger.
He looked at Sarah, then turned his gaze directly toward Victoria standing in the center.
He demanded an immediate explanation for why his young son was screaming in terror.
Sarah stepped forward to explain exactly what she had witnessed just moments before.
