The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 400

Max picked up the phone, his voice cool and steady. “Okay.”

Felicia and Gavin hurried into the hospital. Jeremy’s surgery was already finished. Luke and Tommy were in the room with him, and two police officers lingered nearby.

When Felicia saw Jeremy safe and awake, she finally let out the breath she’d been holding.

After the police wrapped up their questions and left, Felicia stepped closer, worry clear in her eyes. “Jeremy, your arm… are you okay?”

Jeremy’s arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and an IV dripped into his other hand. He looked at her, trying for a reassuring smile. “It’s nothing, really. Just a scratch.”

Felicia soon learned what had happened. When the car window shattered, a shard of glass had driven straight into his arm. The doctors had pulled it out and stitched the wound up—six stitches in total. Tommy had a few scrapes, but thankfully nothing serious.

The accident had been no accident at all. Someone had set it up. And it didn’t take a genius to figure out who. Holden had never forgiven Jeremy. If anyone wanted payback, it would be him.

Jeremy turned to Felicia. “I need you and Luke to go to the police station and get a restraining order. My lawyer already sent in the paperwork. You just need to sign some forms.”

Felicia hesitated, but finally nodded. “Alright.”

Then Gavin spoke up. “Evelynn, why don’t you come stay at my place for a while? Holden wouldn’t try anything if you’re with me.”

Felicia started to answer, but Jeremy spoke first. “If Gavin’s offering, you should stay with him for now.”

Gavin looked surprised, like he’d expected Jeremy to protest. He grinned. “You’re a lot more open-minded than a certain people. Maybe we’ll get a chance to work together.”

Jeremy smiled back. “Maybe we will.”

Felicia glanced at Jeremy. “How long will you be working here?”

His eyes grew serious. “It depends. Could be a while. Don’t worry about me. Just wrap up what you need to do, then you and Luke can head home.”

Felicia didn’t push. She just nodded.

At that moment, two men walked in at the door.
