Arthur stood inside his massive marble hallway and rocked his tiny newborn son gently in his arms.
The little boy had been crying without stopping for three long weeks.
Arthur had spent tens of thousands of dollars on private doctors and pediatric specialists.
None of the famous medical experts could explain why the poor infant was in so much distress.
Arthur had not slept more than two hours a night since his wife passed away during childbirth.
His eyes were red, his expensive suit was wrinkled, and his hands trembled from pure exhaustion.
He paced back and forth across the polished floor while the baby screamed in frustration.
The loud cries echoed off the high ceilings and made Arthur feel like he was losing his mind.
He loved his son more than anything else in the whole world.
Yet he felt completely powerless to bring the sweet child any relief or comfort.
A new housemaid named Elena came out of the kitchen holding a stack of clean white towels.
She took one look at the exhausted father and felt a deep wave of sympathy in her heart.
Elena dropped the towels onto a nearby chair and rushed forward with her arms open wide.
She wanted to help the poor struggling baby before his tired father accidentally collapsed.
Arthur pulled the baby back sharply and glared at the older woman with deep suspicion.
He did not trust a stranger to handle his delicate, valuable child in such a state.
Arthur: Get back from us right now!
Elena: Sir, you look like you are about to faint from tired stress.
Arthur: You are just a maid, you do not know anything about him!
Elena: I know how to soothe a hurting child, sir.
Arthur: We have the best doctors in America, so back off!
Elena ignored his harsh words and gently stepped closer to the crying infant.
She softly touched the baby's warm cheek with her trembling fingers.
The tiny boy instantly quieted his loud screams and looked up into Elena's grey eyes.
A calm silence settled over the huge room as the maid gently took the infant into her arms.
She cradled the child against her chest and hummed a sweet lullaby from long ago.
Within two seconds, the tiny baby rested his head on her shoulder and fell fast asleep.
Arthur stared at the scene in absolute shock as his jaw dropped in complete disbelief.
He had spent a fortune on doctors, yet a housemaid fixed the problem in two seconds.
