The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 399

When he came in, she turned her head away, pretending not to notice.

Max walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. “Come on, eat some food,” he said.

Felicia didn’t respond.

He tried again. “Do you want me to feed you?”

She finally looked at him, her voice faint and tinged with annoyance. “I don’t want to eat.”

Max set the bowl down on the nightstand, then pulled back the covers and carefully slipped his arm around her. He helped her sit up, tucking a pillow behind her for support.

Felicia thought about pushing him away, but she was just too tired to fight him.

When he picked up the bowl again, she quickly said, “I’ll do it myself.”

He handed it over. She took the bowl from him, and when she saw he had no plans to leave, she just let it go. She picked up the spoon and started eating.

Max stayed where he was, quietly watching her.

The room was silent, peaceful in a way that felt strange between them.

When Felicia finished, Max reached for the empty bowl. “If you’re still not feeling better tomorrow, we’re going to the hospital.”

He stood up and walked out.

The next morning, Max was still at home. When he came downstairs to the dining room, he saw Felicia already there. She looked a lot better than yesterday, even if her face was still pale.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

Felicia took a sip of oatmeal. “I don’t need to go to the hospital. I feel much better.”

Max didn’t argue. He just took his seat at the head of the table.

They didn’t talk after that, but the quiet between them felt calm for once. It was probably the first time they’d ever had breakfast together like this.

After a while, Felicia finally spoke up. “I need to handle the company stuff myself.”

Max glanced at her. “If you need any documents, I’ll have someone bring them to you.”

He obviously still wasn’t planning to let her leave.

Felicia’s fingers tightened around her spoon, but she didn’t want to start another fight. “Then at least let me contact people outside.”

“I’ll have someone bring you a new phone.”

She didn’t bother saying more.

“What for?”

“Just let me use it.”

He handed it over without asking more.

Felicia quickly dialed Jeremy’s number. It rang, and then Luke picked up. “Hello?”

“Luke? Why are you answering? Where’s Jeremy?”

Luke hesitated. “Jeremy’s in the hospital.”

Felicia ended the call, her face growing tense. She turned to Gavin. “Gavin, take me to the hospital. Right now.”

They headed for the door. As they were leaving, the housekeeper tried to stop them. “Ms. Ross, you’re still not fully recovered. Mr. Hawthorne said you need to rest.”

“I have to go to the hospital,” Felicia said firmly.

There was nothing the housekeeper could do but watch them go.

Once they were gone, she picked up the phone and called Max.
