The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 724
After saying his piece, Jeremy simply hung up the phone.
Max lowered the phone. His gaze fell upon the screen. Felicia's wallpaper was a photo taken of Anne during her birthday at the island estate in Australia.
He dropped his hand, turned around, and walked back into the room. Placing her phone on the nightstand, he picked up the thermometer to check her temperature again.
The fever had already gone down.
It wasn't until noon that Felicia finally opened her eyes, though her head was still spinning terribly.
"You are awake," the man's voice called out.
Felicia turned her head to look at Max sitting nearby, then silently looked away.
Max had someone bring a light lunch upstairs.
"Get up and eat something first."
Felicia saw no reason to gamble with her own health. She pushed herself up, and Max grabbed a pillow, placing it gently behind her back for support.
Then he handed her a bowl of warm chicken soup.
Felicia finished the soup and ate a little bit of the other food while Max stayed by her side, attending to her.
"I do not want anymore," she said. She really had no appetite right now.
"Eat this bowl of warm custard," Max insisted.
Felicia glanced at the warm custard he offered. She stayed silent for a moment before reaching out to take it, finishing the whole bowl.
Max watched her finish, then took the empty bowl from her hands. "Take your medicine in half an hour. I have some business to attend to at the office. You just stay home and rest well today."
Felicia listened to the man's instructions without offering a response.
Max did not say anything else. He called someone in to clear the dishes and then left the room.
Colt suddenly called. There was an interview scheduled for today, originally assigned to the deputy editor, but the interviewee had suddenly changed their mind and requested to speak specifically with her.
Colt had no other choice but to contact Felicia. Now fully aware that she was Max's wife, his attitude was incredibly respectful, practically bordering on begging.
Faced with Colt's sudden shift in attitude, Felicia felt deeply uncomfortable.
"Colt, you do not need to act like this. I might be a little late, so please send me the interview materials first. I will review them on the way."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Felicia quickly received the documents.
She stood up and went into the closet to change into a formal business suit. As she finished dressing and styling her hair, the reflection in the mirror showed a face that was still pale, with eyes that lacked their usual spark.
When she was finally ready to leave, Olisha was heading upstairs with a plate of pastries. Seeing her heading out, Olisha looked concerned. "Evelynn, you are not fully recovered yet. Are you really going to work?"

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....
