Max walked straight to the bedside, looking down at the girl lying there. “How is it?”
Felicia turned her face away, not meeting his eyes. She didn’t want to talk to him. But then she caught sight of Anne’s big, watery eyes, and she couldn’t bring herself to stay silent. “I’m fine,” she said softly.
Max studied her for a moment but didn’t push. Instead, he looked over at Anne. “Anne, it’s time to go home.”
Anne puffed out her cheeks in protest, clearly not ready to leave.
Max tried again, his voice gentle. “You can come visit Evelynn again tomorrow.”
Felicia joined in, coaxing her. “Anne, you should head home for now.”
Remembering what Evelynn said, Anne finally gave in. “Then can I bring breakfast for you tomorrow?”
Felicia couldn’t say no to her daughter’s kindness. “Alright,” she agreed.
Anne waved goodbye to Ava.
Max scooped Anne up in his arms and left the room, handing her backpack to the nanny. He was strikingly handsome and tall, and with Anne in his arms, the two of them turned more than a few heads as they walked down the hallway.
Ava stayed with Felicia for a little while longer. Felicia didn’t need much looking after, so Ava left soon after.
The next morning, Anne arrived at the hospital bright and early.
Felicia had just finished getting ready in the bathroom when the door opened. Max walked in, carrying a thermal container.
“Good morning,” Anne chirped. She was wearing a pale yellow dress today, looking like a little ray of sunshine. Her cheerful energy was so contagious that Felicia almost forgot about Max standing there.
Max set the thermal container down on the coffee table.
Anne grabbed Felicia’s hand and pulled her to sit down. “You have to eat breakfast.”
Felicia sat on the sofa and smiled gently at Anne. “Did you already have yours, Anne?”
“Daddy and I ate before we came.”
Felicia avoided looking at Max and opened the container. The breakfast was simple and light — some pancakes, eggs, and soft bread rolls.
She noticed a serving of brown sugar egg custard. Anne pointed at it. “Daddy had someone make this just for you this morning, Evelynn.”
Felicia smiled at Anne and didn’t say anything else.
The nurse couldn’t help but smile. “Your daughter is adorable. I’ve never seen such a beautiful child.”
Felicia just smiled at her.
Anne tilted her head up at the nurse.
The nurse grinned back at her. “Don’t worry, your mom will be just fine soon.”
Anne nodded hard, her face lighting up. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
The nurse reached out to gently pat Anne’s cheek.
“So cute.”
She pushed the cart out of the room.
Anne put her little hands on the edge of the bed, then suddenly beamed at Felicia and called out with a bright smile, “Mommy!”

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....
