Ethan carried his cold baby into the warm kitchen near the grand fireplace.
Maria followed close behind him with dry blankets and a soft cotton towel.
They worked together quickly to strip away the soaking wet ice clothing.
They wrapped the tiny baby boy in three warm woolen blankets near the fire.
Lucas slowly stopped crying as the warm air hit his cold pale skin.
Ethan kissed his little boy's forehead while holding back his emotional tears.
He realized how close his son had come to getting very sick tonight.
Brenda walked slowly into the kitchen with her arms crossed over her chest.
She was still trying to maintain her cool mask of rich innocence.
Brenda: Ethan, we need to fire this maid immediately for assault.
Brenda: She attacked your wife in your own luxurious living room!
Ethan turned around slowly to face Brenda with a dark, steady glare.
Ethan: Maria saved my son from your sickening cruelty tonight, Brenda.
Maria: Sir, there is something else you need to know right now.
Ethan looked over at Maria with serious interest in his dark eyes.
Ethan: What else happened while I was away at the office today?
Maria: I found these papers hidden inside her bedroom drawer this morning.
Maria pulled a folded stack of legal paper out from her apron pocket.
She handed the official documents directly to the wealthy business owner.
Ethan opened the legal papers and began reading the dark printed text.
It was an illegal change of the family estate trust fund agreement.
Brenda had hired a corrupt lawyer to sign over all the trust money.
She wanted to remove tiny Lucas completely from his biological mother's will.
Ethan gasped loudly as he realized the true depth of her bad plans.
Brenda's face turned completely white when she saw the legal documents revealed.
Brenda: Where did you get those secret private papers, you thief?
Maria: I found them while cleaning the vanity mirror drawers today, ma'am.
Ethan: You wanted his money and you wanted him gone forever!
Brenda realized that her whole secret plan was completely ruined by now.
She stopped pretending to be nice and showed her real ugly nature.
Brenda: That baby doesn't deserve millions of dollars while I get nothing!
Brenda: I am your wife, and I should control this whole estate!
