The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 223
Felicia glanced up.
Gavin and Max had just walked in. For a moment, Felicia felt completely thrown off.
“Evelynn, you’re awake. How do you feel? Should I get the doctor?” Gavin asked, his voice gentle.
“No, really, I’m fine now,” Felicia replied.
Gavin walked over to her bedside and leaned in. Before Felicia could move away, his hand was already pressed to her forehead.
“You don’t feel feverish anymore. But you haven’t had lunch yet. What do you want? I can have something brought up.”
She shook her head lightly. “I’m not hungry. I’d really like to be alone for a bit. Can you both go?”
Gavin straightened up and glanced at Max. Then he looked back at Felicia. “Max wants to talk to you for a minute.”
Felicia refused to meet Max’s eyes. “There’s nothing for us to talk about. Gavin, take him with you.”
Gavin turned to Max. “Maybe let’s wait until Evelynn’s feeling better.”
Max stared at Felicia, his expression cold. “Gavin, give us a minute,” he said quietly.
Felicia shot him a glare, her voice sharp. “Max, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Seeing how upset she was, Gavin tried to calm her down. “Evelynn, just relax. I’ll get him out of here. You get some rest.”
He walked over and gave Max’s arm a little shove. “Come on. Evelynn doesn’t want to talk right now. Let her rest.”
Max didn’t move, his eyes still on Felicia.
Gavin tried again, more firmly this time. “Let’s go. Seriously.”
Finally, Max let himself be pushed out. Gavin closed the door behind them and turned to Max.
“I don’t care what your girlfriend’s issues are with Evelynn, but I’m not going to let you hurt her.”
Max shoved his hand in his pocket and started down the hall. “You haven’t even gotten her to like you yet.”
Gavin just shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. I just want her to be happy. That’s all. I love seeing her smile.”
“Hey. Are you still feeling sick? Any dizziness?” Jeremy sat down on the edge of her bed, concern in his eyes.
Felicia shook her head softly. “I’m better now. Just a bit tired.”
She tried to smile.
“This trip really came at the worst time for me,” she said.
Jeremy smiled at her, reassuring. “No one could’ve predicted you’d get sick. The whole idea was to help you relax.”
Felicia gave a faint, grateful smile, her illness only making her look more delicate and beautiful.
“I ran into Gavin and Max just now. Did he say anything to you?”
Felicia shook his head. “No. Gavin took him out before he could. I’m sure he was just here to warn me again.”
“Don’t worry,” Jeremy said quietly. “I won’t let Andrea or Max mess with you anymore.”
Felicia looked at him, her expression apologetic and weary. “I’m just causing you more trouble.”

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....
