This Man Risked Everything to Rescue a Baby. The Mother’s Reaction? Shocking. (3 of 5)

Fifteen minutes passed in silence. Then, finally—news. The baby had been severely dehydrated, on the edge of heat stroke, but they’d stabilized him.

Lucas exhaled, his entire body unclenching.

The clinic door flew open. A woman stormed in, face twisted with rage. “Where is he? Where’s my son?!”

“You broke my window!” she snapped.

Lucas blinked. “Ma’am… your child was—”

“I was gone for five minutes!” she screamed. “You had NO RIGHT! I’m calling the cops!”

The room fell silent.

The police arrived. Lucas explained everything. So did the nurses and doctors. Officer Grant listened carefully, then turned to the woman—Karen Ellis.

“Ma’am,” he said firmly, “you’re lucky someone stepped in. Leaving a child in a hot car is extremely dangerous. This could’ve ended very differently.”
