Ava had hurt her knee after being pushed. The group headed straight to the hospital. Since a few of them had been drinking at lunch, they called for a driver. Greg, Ava, and Felicia rode together in one car, while Luke and Jeremy took another.
“Mom, what really happened?” Greg asked. Felicia glanced at Ava, still unsure about how things with Andrea had escalated.
Ava let out a heavy sigh. “I ran into Andrea in the bathroom. I’d just washed my hands. When I shook off the water, a little bit splashed onto her arm by accident. She just blew up, acting like I did it on purpose.”
Felicia’s expression turned cold. All this drama over something so small. It was obvious Andrea was looking for a reason to humilate Ava.
Greg’s jaw tightened. “Where’s Anne? And the others?”
“They’re at home,” Greg replied. “Savannah and Heather are with them.”
Felicia nodded, and soon they arrived at the hospital. The doctor checked Ava’s knee, cleaned it up, and said it wasn’t serious. A couple of days of rest and she’d be fine. He also treated Felicia’s face, gave them both some ointment, and sent them on their way.
Out in the hallway, Felicia spotted Jeremy on the phone. When he finished, she asked, “Was that Darin?”
Jeremy nodded. “Yeah. It was their mom, Mrs. Curtis, who called the police on you and Ava. Darin wanted to apologize for everything.”
Felicia gave a half-smile. “He really knows how to play the good son and brother.”
They all headed back to West Hill Residence. As soon as they walked in, Colton hurried over to Ava. “Are you okay? Is everything alright?”
Ava shook her head gently, letting him know she was fine.
“Evelynn!” Anne ran up to Felicia, worry written all over her face.
Felicia knelt down to steady her. Anne looked up, eyes wide and searching. “What happened to your face? Did someone hurt you and Grandma?”
Felicia scooped her up. “Me and Grandma are fine, sweetie. Don’t worry.”
“I’ll blow on it for you.” Anne pursed her lips and softly blew on Felicia’s cheek, determined to help.
Felicia couldn’t help but smile, her mood lifting just from having Anne close. After a little while, she set Anne back down.
Inside the classroom, Anne tugged at the teacher’s sleeve. “Can I call my dad first?”
“Of course,” the teacher said.
Anne tapped her smartwatch and dialed her father’s number. He picked up right away.
“Anne?”
“Daddy,” Anne said, her voice a little shaky.
Max’s voice grew serious. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
“Aunt Andrea was mean to Evelynn today. Evelynn got hurt on her face.”
Max wasn’t surprised. Andrea had already called him earlier.

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....
