The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 398
After a brief chat with Anne, Felicia ended the video call. She scrolled through Max’s contacts, found Luke’s number, and hit call.
It rang for a few seconds. Silence greeted her.
“Luke, it’s me.”
There was a pause, then Luke’s voice, low and worried. “Felicia, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Max took me with him. My phone broke, so I couldn’t call before.”
Luke didn’t sound surprised. “We figured something like that happened.”
“So Max isn’t letting you leave?”
She let out a breath. “No, he wants me to stay here until I go back home.”
Luke asked where she was. Felicia gave him the address.
“As long as you’re safe, that’s what matters,” he said. “How’s Jeremy doing?”
Felicia thought back to the night of the party, remembering the way Holden had glared at Jeremy. Holden was vengeful, there was no way he’d just let things slide.
“Holden actually showed up here today. So, you might be safer with Max than anywhere else.”
Felicia’s heart clenched. “What did he want?”
“Just came to threaten us, try to scare us off.”
Felicia frowned. “Holden isn’t the type to make empty threats. Luke, if you and Jeremy don’t have to be here, maybe you should just go home. This isn’t like being back in our own city.”
Just as she finished speaking, a low voice came from behind her.
“Are you done?”
Felicia jumped, turning to see Max standing in the doorway.
He walked over and smoothly took the phone from her hand. Glancing at the screen, he brought it to his ear. “Luke, I’ll say this one more time. If you don’t have any business here, go home.”
There was only silence on the other end before Max ended the call. He looked down at Felicia, his tone serious. “You and Luke are just friends. Don’t cross that line.”
Felicia rolled her eyes. “Max, not everyone sees the world the way you do.”
“Ms. Ross started her period today. She’s been in bed all day and hasn’t eaten anything.”
Max went straight to Felicia’s room. He found her huddled under the covers, her face pale and tight with pain.
He told the maid to call a doctor.
About thirty minutes later, the doctor arrived, introduced herself as a gynecologist, and got right to work. She gave Felicia a shot for the pain and checked her over.
Once she left the bedroom, she found Max in the living room, still working. He glanced up. “How is she?”
The doctor nodded, remembering a similar case not long ago. “Her cramps are quite bad. I gave her a painkiller, but if she’s still in this much pain tomorrow, it’s best to take her to the hospital. She needs to rest, eat light, and keep her mood up.”
After giving a few more instructions, the doctor left.
The maid had already prepared a bowl of ginger and honey soup, ready to take upstairs.
“I’ll do it,” Max said.
He carried the bowl into Felicia’s room. Thanks to the injection, the pain had eased a little, but she still felt weak and didn’t want to move from the bed.

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....
