The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 728
Their eyes met.
In that fleeting second, it felt as though all the ambient noise in the room had completely vanished.
Max closed the distance with heavy, measured steps. He stopped in front of them and stared down at Felicia's exhausted, pale face. Sensing a shift in the atmosphere, Felicia slowly opened her eyes and found Max towering over her.
She jolted in surprise. "What..."
Max gazed down at her with mysterious dark eyes. He then shifted his attention to Jeremy. "Mr. Milman truly is a benevolent man."
Jeremy maintained a perfectly stoic expression. "Thank you for the compliment."
As his words hung in the air, a brief, suffocating silence fell over them. An invisible, heavy pressure seemed to radiate throughout the space.
Everyone else in the clinic cast uneasy glances in their direction. Even from a distance, the sheer tension caused the bystanders to subconsciously lower their voices.
Felicia was just about to say something to break the ice when Savannah rushed into the room. "Felicia."
Savannah spared a quick glance at Max before taking the empty seat beside her friend. She instinctively reached out to feel Felicia's forehead. "How did you end up catching a fever so suddenly?"
"I will be fine after a couple of days of rest," Felicia murmured.
Savannah looked up at Jeremy. "I finished all my work for the day. I can take over taking care of Felicia from here."
Jeremy nodded in agreement. He offered Felicia a few parting words of advice and then stood up to leave the clinic.
Felicia looked up at Max. "Savannah is going to take care of me. You should go back to your work."
Max did not linger either. He turned on his heel and walked out the doors.
Jeremy and Max both got into their respective cars and drove off, one right after the other.
Across the street, Holden sat inside a luxurious black sedan. He rested his head lazily against his hand as he watched the two men exit the clinic through his tinted window. A scoff escaped his lips. "They came out so quickly," he muttered to himself.
Felicia sat through her IV drip for over an hour until her headache finally subsided.
Savannah drove her back to the West Hill Residence.
Ava had called her earlier. After learning she was sick, Ava had insisted Felicia come stay at the family home so she could be properly looked after.
Savannah glanced over at her. "Are we heading to Oakridge Estate now?"
"Yes, let's go back."
Savannah turned the car around at the upcoming intersection.
Felicia dialed Ava's number and explained the sudden change of plans.
Once she finished the call, Savannah chimed in. "It seems Anne has quite the stubborn streak."
With a father like Max, it was inevitable that Anne would inherit some of his domineering personality.
"Anne is usually a very well behaved child," Felicia defended gently.
Savannah asked another question. "Does she know you are planning to move to Cloudville?"
Judging by her current reaction, if Anne found out Felicia was moving to Cloudville, the little girl would likely throw a massive fit and absolutely refuse to let her go.

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....
