The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 483

Max stared at her, caught in the mess of panic and fear swirling in her eyes. She was shaking, her breath ragged and hot, every part of her tense with pain. His gaze darkened and his voice dropped to a low rumble. “What are you so afraid of?”

Felicia couldn’t even answer. Her teeth pressed into her lower lip until it almost broke the skin, and fat tears rolled down her cheeks. She was barely holding on, her mind drowning under a wave of need she couldn’t control. It felt like invisible hands were trying to drag her into some endless darkness.

Max watched her with a heavy intensity, like he could see she was about to lose it completely. Blood welled up where she bit her lip, a last, desperate act of resistance. Her arms had already found their way around his shoulders, her body pressed close to his even as she tried to fight what was happening. The disconnect between what her mind wanted and what her body did made her tremble even more.

To her, his lips seemed like the only relief in a world that was suddenly nothing but heat and pain. Max saw her eyes glaze over, a flicker of hunger crossing his own. When her lips found his, he met her with a kiss that left them both breathless, everything else fading away.

That’s when Felicia’s mind finally snapped.

Right then, the door burst open.

Max’s face went cold, the moment shattered.

“Max, get away from her!” Jeremy’s voice thundered through the room. The shock of it jolted Felicia back. She shoved Max aside, her eyes wide and full of despair. “No! No…” Her voice broke, and suddenly, she coughed up blood, staining the front of Max’s white shirt with a bright, terrible splash.

Max was still stunned when someone yanked him away and threw a punch that hit him square in the jaw. He stumbled back, anger blazing in his eyes, but Jeremy didn’t hesitate. He shrugged off his jacket, wrapped it around Felicia, and lifted her into his arms, carrying her straight out the room.

“Max!” Andrea called after him, voice breaking. She ran after him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, clinging to him. “Please, don’t leave me.”

He didn’t stop. He gently took her hands and set them aside, then walked off without looking back.

Andrea stood there, tears spilling down her cheeks, helpless as she watched him leave.

Meanwhile, Jeremy rushed Felicia to the nearest hospital. The doctors were waiting, ready to treat her. They pumped her stomach and hooked her up to an IV, working quickly to bring her back.
