The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 554
Max’s tone was calm. “No matter how important he once was, she’s married now, with a daughter. Still, I’ll remember what he did for us today, for Felicia’s sake.”
Darin shot him a look. “I doubt Felicia needs you to remember it for her.”
“That doesn’t matter. I’ll remember it anyway.”
Darin glanced at him, then dropped it. “So, who do you think set things up at Roen Capital’s gala tonight?”
“We’ll find out soon enough,” Max replied. “Let’s just have someone look into it.”
The next morning, Jeremy finally woke up, but he was groggy, his mind still foggy.
Felicia arrived at the hospital with Greg and Luke. Heather was already there, waiting outside the room.
She waved them over. “Felicia, Luke, Greg. Hey.”
Greg gave her a polite nod.
Felicia hurried to Jeremy’s bedside, her eyes full of worry. “Jeremy, how are you feeling? Any better?”
Jeremy looked pale and tired, but he managed a gentle, reassuring smile. “I’m alright. The doctor said I just need a month or two of rest and I’ll be fine, so don’t worry.”
Felicia wanted to apologize, but before she could say anything, Jeremy cut her off. “Don’t even think about saying sorry. There’s no way I could just stand by and let something happen to you. Honestly, I’m glad it was me. If you’d gotten hurt, I’d never forgive myself. I couldn’t face your brother or your dad.”
Heather came over and slipped her arm around Felicia, trying to lighten the mood. “My brother’s tough. He can take a hit and keep going. See? He’s fine now. Don’t let it get to you, Felicia.”
Felicia understood what they meant, so she just nodded and didn’t say more.
Greg spoke up. “No matter what, we really appreciate it, Mr. Milman.”
Luke stood off to the side, quiet, his fingers curling tightly at his side for just a second.
A little while later, Savannah and Anthony showed up at the hospital.
Greg stopped at the entrance. “It’s freezing out here. You don’t need to see us off any further.”
Heather hesitated, not wanting him to go. It had been a while since she’d seen him. “Greg, when does your company’s holiday break start?”
Ever since Trey came to the Capital, she’d felt uneasy and hadn’t been able to visit Greg as much.
“One more week,” he said. He reached out and gently patted her head. “It’s got to be hard after your brother during all this. I’ll treat you to dinner later.”
The warmth of his hand and the gentle look in his eyes made Heather’s heart flutter.
She smiled, her cheeks forming two soft dimples. “I will. You take care of yourself too, Greg.”
He let go. “Go on, get back inside.”
As he turned to leave, he spotted Trey walking towards them. Trey’s sharp, almost wickedly good-looking face stood out in the cold wind. His coat billowed behind him, and there was a chill about him that was hard to ignore.

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....
