The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 317
Felicia’s heart skipped a beat the moment she heard it. Something inside her cracked open, all those feelings she’d kept buried rushing up so fast it made her head spin.
The man sitting nearby just watched, his face calm and unreadable, as if nothing in the world could faze him.
It took Felicia a while to collect herself. “Anne, why did you call me that?”
Anne looked up with bright eyes. “The nurse said you’re my mommy.”
“Are you hurting, Mommy? Let me blow on it for you.” Anne switched so easily, calling her Mommy like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Felicia’s mind went blank. For a second, she didn’t know how to respond or if she even should. But finally, she forced herself to speak, even though every word hurt. She gently corrected Anne.
Anne’s face fell and her shoulders drooped. “Okay, then.”
Felicia felt a sting in her chest, sharp and sudden, almost like a needle prick. When she looked up, she accidentally locked eyes with him. His dark gaze made her breath catch, a rush of guilt hitting her as if she’d done something terrible. He only looked at her for a moment before glancing away.
The IV finished up, and a nurse came in to remove the line from Felicia’s hand.
The doctor gave a few last instructions. “You need to rest for the next couple of days. I’ve written a prescription to help you recover.”
“But most importantly, get some rest. Don’t stress too much, take care of yourself. Medicine can’t fix everything.”
Felicia nodded. “I understand. Thank you.”
She’d been through pain before, but nothing like this. The last two times had been so bad she’d needed IVs at the hospital just to cope. Each episode seemed to hit harder than the last. This time, she knew it was because Max had pushed her too far.
Anne piped up, “Thank you, Doctor.” The doctor smiled and gave Anne’s cheek a gentle pat.
“All set. Go pay and pick up your prescription.”
After the doctor left, Felicia reached for her phone to pay fort7 the bill. Before she could do anything, Anne grabbed the bill, marched straight to her dad, and handed it over. “Daddy, you pay.”
“Anne,” Felicia called, “give that back to me.”
“He’s at the office. I just got home.”
“We’ll talk when I get back.”
“Want me to come pick you up?”
“It’s okay. I’ll manage.”
Tommy was already waiting in the parking lot. Once Anne was dropped off, Felicia would take his car home. She only needed to work from home today anyway.
The driver returned with the medicine, and they headed out for the school. When they arrived, a teacher was waiting at the gate.
“Bye, Daddy. Bye, Evelynn,” Anne called as she ran inside.
As soon as Anne disappeared through the doors, Felicia turned away without saying a word to Max and walked straight to Tommy’s car.

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....
