The stroller fell through the open air toward the hard marble floor below.
Elena did not hesitate for even a single fraction of a second.
She dropped her dusting cloth instantly and sprinted across the massive foyer floor.
Her fast footsteps echoed loudly against the tall white walls of the mansion.
She locked her eyes on the falling stroller as it plummeted downward fast.
With a desperate scream, Elena dove forward across the slick marble floor like an athlete.
She extended her arms as far as she could reach before the crash.
Her body slid across the hard stone just in time to catch the frame.
She pulled the stroller tightly against her chest to break its terrible fall.
The plastic wheels hit her arms hard, leaving dark red marks on her skin.
A loud thud echoed through the entire lower floor as they landed safely.
Elena held the stroller tight and pulled little Leo into her trembling arms.
The baby started crying hysterically from the sudden shock of the drop.
Elena squeezed her eyes shut and held the crying child against her heart.
She checked his small arms and legs quickly to ensure he was unhurt.
He was scared, but he did not have a single scratch on him.
Elena wept with pure relief as she rocked the small baby back and forth.
Suddenly, the heavy front double doors burst open with a loud bang.
Richard stepped into the foyer, holding his leather briefcase in his right hand.
He had come home early from the office to surprise his young family.
His jaw dropped in complete shock when he saw the scene in front of him.
Elena was lying on the floor surrounded by the overturned stroller and baby gear.
Little Leo was screaming loudly at the top of his lungs in panic.
Richard dropped his briefcase onto the floor and stormed forward with wild eyes.
He looked at Elena with intense rage, mistaking the situation entirely at first glance.
He thought the housekeeper had dropped his precious baby due to total carelessness.
