The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 484
Felicia lay unconscious in the hospital bed, her face so pale it was almost translucent. Jeremy sat beside her, gripping her hand as if he could anchor her to this world just by holding on. He watched her, his chest tight with worry, but relief washed over him anyway. She was safe, at least for now.
The door creaked open. Jeremy’s eyes snapped up, instantly alert.
Max walked in, his energy filling the whole room. There was a red, swollen mark on his right cheek. His gaze swept from Felicia lying motionless in the bed to Jeremy’s hand wrapped around hers. His eyes narrowed, something sharp and dangerous flickering there.
He stepped in with steady confidence. “Didn’t realize you liked playing with what belongs to someone else.”
Jeremy met his stare, cold and unflinching behind his glasses. “Felicia doesn’t belong to anyone. She’s her own person. And you, of all people, don’t deserve her.”
Max stopped at the foot of the bed, letting out a soft, bitter laugh. “It seems like you don’t know who is her husband.”
Jeremy didn’t look away. “You don’t even know what being a husband should mean. You’ve never respected her. That marriage certificate is just a piece of paper, and it’s the only thing linking you to her.”
Max’s eyes went dark, his whole face turning to ice. “That piece of paper is a wall you’ll never get past. You should stop acting like she’s yours.”
The tension in the room grew heavy, pressing in from all sides. Max’s voice dropped, low and full of warning. “I’ll take care of my wife myself.” The message couldn’t have been clearer.
Jeremy wasn’t backing down. “Too bad Felicia doesn’t want your care.”
Max’s jaw tensed. “You can play the hero for a day, Jeremy, but you can’t protect her forever. Let me say this one more time. Felicia is the mother of my daughter. There will never be a divorce.”
Felicia’s reaction wasn’t just about resisting him. It felt like trauma, something deeper, and none of the reports said she’d been harmed. Still, he needed the truth.
“Understood.”
Max closed the call and went back inside, dragging a chair across from Jeremy and sitting down. The two men sat in silence on either side of Felicia’s bed, the air between them thick enough to choke on.
A nurse came in to change Felicia’s IV. She hesitated, taking in the sight of two striking men locked in a silent standoff. It was rare to see anyone this handsome, and there were two at once. The tension and intensity in the room felt straight out of a TV drama. Still, she did her best to stay professional, stepping forward carefully.
“Excuse me, sir,” she said quietly to Max. “I need to change her IV.”

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....
