The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 196
Luke let out a sigh, shut her door, and walked around to the driver’s side. He slid in behind the wheel and drove off. Maybe it was the drinks she’d had, but Felicia’s stomach was hurting more and more. Luke didn’t hesitate. He turned the car around and headed straight for the hospital.
While they were on the way, Tommy called. Felicia told him not to worry and to go home.
At the hospital, the doctor checked Felicia over and hooked her up to an IV. Luke stayed with her the whole time and ordered some warm soup to settle her stomach. Lying back against the hospital bed, Felicia started to feel a bit better with the IV in her arm. Luke sat by her side, feeding her soup. When some color returned to her cheeks, he finally spoke up. “Of all people to run into, it had to be Max.”
Dinner that night had mostly been about drinking. Felicia took a slow spoonful of soup. “It wasn’t a random run-in. It was a dinner with BlueMarble Investments.”
She hadn’t expected Max to show up at all.
Luke frowned. “With BlueMarble? Really?”
Felicia gave him a quick rundown of what had happened.
“Sounds like you and Max are going to be seeing a lot of each other at work,” Luke said.
Felicia nodded. “Yeah, there’s no avoiding him. I figured it would happen sooner or later.”
She’d thought that seeing Max again would mean nothing more than some polite, distant conversation. She never imagined he’d go out of his way to make her life difficult. Just thinking about it made her stomach twist all over again.
Luke asked about the divorce.
Felicia replied, “The court date is in two weeks.”
Cameron still hadn’t heard anything from Max’s side, even after all this time.
Luke made a quiet noise, not saying much, but he couldn’t help feeling uneasy. He knew what Max could be like.
Just then Felicia’s phone buzzed. It was Ava calling, asking when dinner would be over.
“It’s almost done, Mom. I’ll let you know before I come home.”
“Make sure to take care of yourself, and don’t drink too much,” Ava said.
“I know, Mom.”
Ava took Yara outside to play, leaving Heather and Felicia alone to chat.
“I’m just glad nothing serious happened to you,” Heather said. “Savannah told me about the car accident, and it scared me half to death. I had no idea your job could be so dangerous.”
“It was just a random accident. I’ll be more careful from now on. I think it was your lucky charm that saved me.”
Heather grinned. “Guess it really does work. Next time, we should go get a few more.”
Felicia laughed. “Sure.”
“But I’m still going to have my brother send a few more bodyguards your way,” Heather added.
Felicia shook her head, smiling. “That’s a bit much. If we did that, every employee would need a bodyguard for business trips.”
Heather giggled. “But you’re special.”
Felicia held up her hand. “Okay, that’s enough. Don’t say stuff like that.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
