The bright sun washed over the massive backyard of the grand estate.
Clara adjusted her crisp white apron while carrying a tray of fresh lemonade.
She had worked as a maid for the wealthy Montgomery family for two years.
David Montgomery was a successful real estate mogul who loved his baby son deeply.
His new wife, Evelyn, always seemed cold and distant toward the small child.
Clara noticed Evelyn standing near the edge of the large luxury swimming pool.
Evelyn wore an expensive burgundy dress that stood out against the blue water.
She was gripping the handles of the heavy baby stroller very tightly.
Little Leo was strapped inside the seat, chewing happily on a small plastic toy.
Clara felt a sudden chill run down her spine as she watched Evelyn move.
The woman pushed the stroller closer and closer toward the dangerous concrete ledge.
Clara dropped her metal serving tray onto the stone patio with a loud crash.
"What are you doing over there?" Clara screamed across the manicured lawn.
Evelyn did not answer or turn her head to face the startled maid.
Instead, she gave the black stroller one final and forceful push forward.
The stroller tipped directly over the edge and plunged into the deep pool.
A massive splash of cold water sprayed high into the warm afternoon air.
Clara did not hesitate for even a single second after the water splashed.
She kicked off her heavy black work shoes and sprinted toward the pool.
Evelyn stood totally frozen on the deck with a wide smirk on her face.
Clara leaped into the water with a huge splash to reach the child.
The cold water wrapped around her body as she kicked down deep below.
She opened her eyes beneath the surface and searched through the blue bubbles.
The stroller was sinking fast toward the bottom of the deep stone pool.
Little Leo was trapped in the harness, bubbles rising quickly from his mouth.
Clara kicked her feet hard and reached the sunken stroller in seconds.
Her fingers fumbled frantically with the plastic buckle on the chest strap.
The heavy lock finally released with a sudden pop under the deep water.
She grabbed the scared baby and pulled him firmly against her wet chest.
Clara kicked off the bottom tile and pushed herself up toward the light.
She broke the surface of the pool, gasping loudly for fresh oxygen.
The small baby began to cough and cry violently in her arms.
Clara swam quickly toward the steps while holding Leo safely above water.
She wrapped a dry beach towel around the shivering infant very gently.
"I saved him!" Clara shouted toward the empty courtyard in pure terror.
Evelyn was already backing away toward the back sliding glass patio doors.
"She pushed him in on purpose!" Clara yelled at the top of her lungs.
