The metal handcuffs clicked loudly around Evelyn's wrists in the quiet atrium.
Evelyn gasped in complete shock as her hands were secured behind her back.
Evelyn: Take your hands off me right now! Do you know who I am?
Officer Miller: You have the right to remain silent, Mrs. Vance.
Evelyn: Julian, tell these officers to stop this total madness at once!
Julian didn't even look at his mother as she pleaded for help.
His entire attention was focused on Clara and the paramedics assisting her.
Paramedic: Her heart rate is very high, but the baby seems stable.
Clara: Is my baby really going to be okay?
Paramedic: We need to take you to the hospital for full ultrasound scans.
They carefully lifted Clara onto the mobile stretcher and secured safety straps.
Julian held her hand tightly as they rolled the stretcher toward the exit.
Evelyn was led toward a police cruiser standing near the entrance fountain.
Neighbours were beginning to gather on the sidewalk, watching the drama unfold.
The local news cameras were already arriving at the estate entrance gates.
Evelyn tried to hide her face from the flashing camera lenses nearby.
Her powerful image in the city was completely ruined within thirty minutes.
Officer Miller placed his hand over her head as she entered police car.
Evelyn: My legal team will have me out before the sun sets today!
Officer Miller: The charges are attempt to cause serious bodily harm, ma'am.
The police car door slammed shut, cutting off Evelyn's angry shouting voice.
Julian stepped inside the ambulance and sat right next to Clara's stretcher.
The ambulance sped away with sirens roaring toward the central city hospital.
Inside the vehicle, Clara squeezed Julian's hand with all her remaining strength.
Clara: I was so scared when I felt myself falling, Julian.
Julian: I promise you that no one will ever hurt you again.
Clara: What will happen to your family estate now after all this?
Julian: That estate means nothing to me compared to your safety today.
The ambulance arrived at the emergency ward doors within ten quick minutes.
A team of doctor specialists was waiting at the bay entrance for them.
They rushed Clara directly into the trauma unit for detailed physical examination.
Julian waited anxiously in the hallway, pacing back and forth along tiles.
He prayed silently that his baby child was safe from any harm.
