Chapter 4 - Rosa Comforts The Shivering Infant In The Nursery
Rosa carried the trembling infant up the sweeping staircase, her sensible shoes clicking softly against the polished oak steps.
The grand nursery was bathed in a soft, warm amber glow from the bedside lamp, creating a stark contrast to the chaos downstairs.
She sat down in the plush white rocking chair, gently swaying back and forth while whispering soothing lullabies into the baby's ear.
“You’re safe now, little man. Mommy Rosa is right here, and nobody will ever hurt you again,” she murmured softly.
The baby’s little fingers curled tightly around the lapel of her navy blue uniform, his breathing finally slowing down to a normal rhythm.
Downstairs, the muffled sound of raised voices echoed faintly through the high ceilings, reminding her that the storm was far from over.
Rosa checked the infant’s delicate skin inch by inch, breathing a massive sigh of relief when she found zero burns or blisters.
She wrapped him snugly in a soft cashmere blanket, placing him gently into his crib where he drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Yet, her heart pounded against her ribs because she knew Clara would never forgive being publicly humiliated and exposed.
She locked the nursery door securely from the inside, standing guard like a dedicated sentinel ready for whatever battle lay ahead.
