Richard did not wait for the armed police officers to give another official command.
He sprinted across the white marble floor and dropped down directly onto his knees.
He reached out his strong arms and gently lifted baby Ethan into his broad chest.
The small infant immediately stopped crying as he recognized his father's warm scent.
Richard wrapped his thick wool suit jacket around the shivering baby to keep him warm.
He kissed the top of the boy's tiny head with deep, trembling love and relief.
Richard: You are completely safe now, my sweet little baby boy.
He turned his head slowly to look up at his injured nanny resting on the floor.
He saw the dark purple bruise on her forehead and the red mark across her cheek.
Richard: Mary, are you alright after what happened here today?
Mary: I am okay, sir, as long as little Ethan is safe.
Richard: You risked your own life to protect my only child today.
Richard's heart swelled with deep respect and boundless gratitude for the young nanny.
Then he looked up at his younger sister Victoria standing frozen under guard.
His face contorted into pure, unstoppable rage as his teeth clenched together tightly.
He stood up slowly while holding his precious baby securely against his steady shoulder.
He walked up until he was standing just two short feet away from Victoria.
Richard: How dare you touch my child and lay a hand on my staff!
Victoria: Brother, please listen to me before you make a terrible mistake!
Richard: Do not call me your brother ever again, you monster!
Victoria: That maid is lying to you because she wants more money!
Mary: I have the full legal papers she dropped on the floor right here!
Mary picked up the folder of fake adoption papers that had fallen near the door.
She handed the thick legal documents directly to the lead tactical officer standing nearby.
The officer scanned the signed pages quickly and looked up with stern, cold eyes.
Officer: This is clear evidence of attempted child kidnapping and illegal fraud.
Victoria: No, those papers do not belong to me at all!
Richard: Get out of my sight before I have you locked up forever!
