The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 51
When Felicia walked into Savannah’s hospital room, she was calm again, collected and steady.
“Felicia! You really didn’t need to bring anything,” Savannah said, glancing at the basket in Felicia’s hands.
Felicia set the fruit on the coffee table and nodded at the IV bag still hanging beside the bed. “Is there more after this one?”
Savannah shook her head. “Just this last bit.”
“Seriously, you can’t go drinking like you did the other night anymore.”
Savannah gave a rueful smile. “Sometimes, when you’re feeling low, you just need something to let it out. I’ll watch myself, promise.”
Just as the IV finished, Jeremy arrived. The three of them went out for lunch at a little restaurant near the hospital, sticking to light dishes.
Felicia mentioned running into Mr. Gilbert at the university recently.
Jeremy smiled. “Mr. Gilbert visits campus all the time. He says being around the students makes him feel young again.”
Savannah looked surprised. “Wait, Felicia, you know Mr. Gilbert?”
Nate had retired a couple of years after mentoring Jeremy.
“When I was Felicia’s mentor, Mr. Gilbert was really impressed with her,” Jeremy said. “After he retired, he even tutored her privately, took her to conferences, helped her see the world.”
Jeremy had told Savannah about Felicia’s double major in math and finance, her international awards, but nothing had shocked her like hearing about Mr. Gilbert’s private lessons.
“Felicia, you are so amazing! Mr. Gilbert even gave you one-on-one lessons?”
Everyone knew Mr. Gilbert was the toughest professor. All his students were stars, but it usually took them five or six years to get through his program. Only geniuses like Jeremy managed to finish early.
And Felicia had the honor of being his private student after he retired.
Felicia just felt embarrassed. Looking at where she was now, her past achievements felt pointless.
Savannah scoffed, “Max must be blind. He couldn’t recognize a treasure if it bit him. He deserves to be stuck with trash.”
Savannah studied Felicia’s face and grinned. “Felicia, once you have the baby and get back in shape, and maybe get a little touch-up on your nose, you’re going to be a total knockout. You’ll blind a certain someone with your glow-up.”
Felicia instinctively touched her nose. Back before she got sick, her nose had been perfect, just the right shape.
She remembered a fall in her first year of high school, taking pictures with friends under the trees. A photographer had snapped a candid profile shot and posted it online, along with a short video. It went viral overnight. Someone from an agency even reached out, offering her a shot at acting.
Her dad sent a legal notice. The photographer apologized and took everything down. Felicia never cared about fame, so the buzz faded pretty fast.
Still, for a while, kids from other schools came just to see her. And Luke, of course, had made himself her unofficial bodyguard.
Later, after she got sick, her nose swelled and her looks took a hit. Before starting at BlueMarble Investments, she’d even tried some cosmetic treatments.
Now, with the pregnancy hormones, her nose looked even bigger.
Felicia laughed softly. “Guess I’ll have to wait until I have the baby first.”

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....
