Dr. Vance: Mr. Sterling, you need to step back and let us work on your wife.
Julian: I'm not leaving her side, Doctor.
Clara: Julian... stay with me...
Julian: I'm right here, Clara. I'm holding your hand.
The paramedics carefully lifted Clara onto the stretcher, wrapping her bleeding arms in thick white gauze bandages.
Outside the front doors, two police officers blocked Evelyn from entering her luxury SUV.
Officer Miller: Ma'am, stay right where you are. We need to question you about the incident inside.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! I live in this mansion! I am Evelyn Sterling!
Officer Miller: I don't care who you are, ma'am. Mr. Sterling reported a domestic assault with severe physical injury.
Evelyn: He kicked me into a pool! Why aren't you arresting him?!
Officer Miller: We have video surveillance footage from the patio, ma'am. We will review all of it at the station.
Julian walked out beside the stretcher, pointing directly at Evelyn with a cold, trembling finger.
Julian: Officer, she pushed my seven-month pregnant wife into a glass wall. The security cameras in the hallway captured the entire attack.
Officer Miller: Place your hands behind your back, ma'am.
Evelyn: Julian! You can't do this to me! I am your stepmother!
Julian: You are nothing to me anymore. Put her in the back of the car, Officer.
The metallic click of handcuffs echoed across the driveway as Evelyn screamed profanities, being forced into the back seat of the police cruiser.
Julian jumped into the back of the ambulance, holding Clara's hand tight as the doors slammed shut.
Julian: How is the baby's heartbeat, Doctor?
Dr. Vance: Heartbeat is strong at 140 beats per minute, but we need to run an emergency ultrasound the second we reach the trauma center.
Clara: Is she... is she going to be okay?
Dr. Vance: We are doing everything we can, Mrs. Sterling. Just focus on breathing deeply.
Julian: You're so strong, Clara. Both of you are going to get through this.
Clara: I was so scared, Julian... she told me you were going to divorce me...
Julian: What?! Why would she say that?!
Clara: She said... she said you only married me because of your father's will...
Julian: That evil, manipulative woman lies about everything! I love you, Clara. My father's will had nothing to do with us.
Clara: She showed me a paper... she said it was a prenuptial agreement that gave her all the money...
Julian: That paper was a fake, Clara. My lawyer told me yesterday that Evelyn has been forging documents for months.
The ambulance pulled up to the emergency bay of St. Jude's Hospital, its doors flying open into the bright white trauma room.
Dr. Vance: Move her to Trauma Bay 3! Get Dr. Miller from Obstetrics right now!
Nurses rushed around the gurney, connecting monitors and IV lines as Julian was guided into the hallway waiting area.
Nurse: Sir, you need to wait here while we prepare her for the ultrasound scan.
Julian: Please... just tell me my baby is safe.
Nurse: We will give you an update in ten minutes, Mr. Sterling. Pray for the best.
