The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 350

“Okay,” Ms. Corbin replied.

Felicia was still lost in thought when Savannah came over with some work documents.

“Felicia?”

She snapped out of it and tried to compose herself. “Hey, Savannah. You’re here.”

Savannah looked worried. “Are you alright? You look really pale.”

It had been an hour since Ms. Corbin’s call. By now, Max probably knew. Felicia’s mind wandered back to the time she and Max argued. Anne had heard them, started crying, and Max had rushed over, completely on edge. She also remembered the first night Anne stayed with the Ross family. Anne cried for Max, and he was there right away.

Whenever Anne’s emotions ran high, Max always seemed so tense.

Felicia thought about what Dr. Dodson had told her. Anne was doing better, but keeping her in a good mood was crucial. That surgery had been so dangerous. Anne had almost… She couldn’t even finish the thought. The image of Anne’s sad little face filled her mind, making it hard to breathe.

Felicia opened her mouth to say something, but just then, her phone started to vibrate.

She checked the screen, answered, and heard a man’s cold voice. “Come to the hospital.”

Her heart dropped.

“Which hospital?”

He gave her the address. The call ended.

Felicia shot to her feet, grabbing her bag and papers. “Savannah, I have to go to the hospital right now. Just leave the files here. I’ll look at them later if I can.”

Savannah’s concern deepened. “Who’s in the hospital?”

“Anne,” Felicia said quietly.

Thirty minutes later, Felicia arrived at the hospital.

She pushed open the door to the pediatric cardiology VIP room.

Anne was lying on the bed, so small and still, breathing with the help of an oxygen mask, eyes closed and fast asleep.

Max finished a call and came back, watching them for a moment before going to get the doctor.

The doctor arrived quickly, checked Anne over, then removed her nasal tube. “Her condition is stable now,” the doctor said. “But for the next few days, keep her calm and avoid any strenuous activity.”

Max nodded.

Anne reached out for Felicia.

Felicia picked her up. Anne leaned against her mother’s shoulder, quiet and tired. She wasn’t upset that Felicia hadn’t said yes to her earlier.

Max grabbed Anne’s schoolbag.

Felicia carried Anne out of the hospital room.

After they left the hospital, Max drove them back to Oakridge Estate. The car ride was quiet. Anne lay in Felicia’s arms, not saying a word.

When they got home, Max smoothed Anne’s hair. “Daddy still has some work to do, but I’ll come back tonight to be with you.”
