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.

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.” The nurse comforted him when she saw the dejected look on his face. "If he continues to develop well, he'll be able to go home in a month or so.” "Thank you for your hard work," Elliot croaked.
"It's not hard. We don't usually allow parents to visit here, but the director instructed us to bring you in whenever you came by.
The disinfection is a little troublesome. You may not be used to the smell of the disinfectant,” said the nurse. " We'll send photos of the baby to you every day." Elliot nodded his head.
At another hospital in the middle of the night, Chelsea was sobbing silently as she sat in the lobby.
She was holding a bag of medication.
She had already seen a doctor =g.:SKX? gotten her pills, but she did not want to go home.
She could see the logo screen on the Sterling Group building from her apartment.
Her dream was to become Elliot Foster's woman and be the boss lady of Sterling Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, that dream shattered to pieces tonight.
Elliot would never marry her. Not only that, he would not even keep her by his side.
Now that he had a son, Sterling Group would belong to his son in the future.
She had turned into a completely useless pile of trash! Chelsea sat in the hospital until two in the morning. When she finally ran out of tears, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered very quickly.
Chelsea sniffled and said, "I'm at the hospital Charlie. Come get me." "What are you playing at?! I'm abroad! How am | supposed to pick you up?" Charlie's cold voice came through the phone.
Chelsea took a deep breath and tears rolled down her face once again.
Charlie quickly noticed that something was wrong.
"Why are you at the hospital? What happened to you?!"
