When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 706

 The baby was in an incubator in the intensive care unit with a dedicated nurse looking after him.

The intensive care unit was a sterile environment.

Under normal circumstances, premature babies were not allowed visitors.

However, Elliot's status was special.

Once he entered the neonatal unit, the nurse disinfected him, helped him into a sterile suit, then led him into the intensive care unit.

"Your son's overall condition is looking pretty good, Mr.Foster.He's just got some respiratory distress...This is normal for premature babies, so you don't need to worry about it too much," explained the nurse.

Elliot already found out about the baby's condition from the doctor earlier that afternoon, so he was not too worried.He gazed at his son through the incubator.

The baby was wrapped up in a swaddle while an oxygen tube was connected to his nose.

With his eyes closed and without moving a muscle, he looked like he was asleep.

Elliot's eyes instantly filled with tears.

The baby would not have to suffer like this if he was born at full term.He did not blame Avery.

She had suffered through eight months of pain since she got pregnant.

The torture that she had to endure during that time was severe than Tammy's abduction.

It was already an impressive feat for her to carry the baby for eight months.

The person he hated was the one behind the pain and suffering.

This was also the reason why he attacked Chelsea earlier that night.

Elliot did not lose control of his emotions at the time.He knew what he's doing.He despised Chelsea, and he has never bothered being reasonable toward those he despised.

"The baby looks smaller right now, but he should grow a lot in the next month."
