The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 744

After dinner, the discomfort in Felicia's lower abdomen intensified. Although she desperately tried to act as if everything was fine, her pale complexion betrayed her.

Luke drove her car to take her home. He asked worriedly, "Felicia, do you want to go to the hospital?"

Felicia, pale-faced, replied, "No need. I just need to go home and lie down."

There was nothing Luke could do about this sort of thing, so he simply sped up.

Arriving at the Ross residence, Luke helped Felicia out of the car and into the living room.

Seeing the two of them, Ava immediately understood what was going on. She hurried over to support her. "Is it early this month?"

Felicia replied, "Just about."

Ava looked at Luke, greeting him with the warmth of a caring elder. "I haven't seen you in a while, Luke. You've lost weight."

Luke smiled. "I was just craving a feast cooked by you, Aunt Ava."

"Alright, alright. I will make sure you eat well. What do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I'll make it for you."

"I'll eat anything you make. But let's not talk about that right now. You should help Felicia upstairs to rest."

"Okay."

Ava helped Felicia upstairs.

Felicia changed into her pajamas.

Ava prepared a heating pad for her, and made a cup of rose tea.

Lying in bed and holding the mug, Felicia felt the agonizing cramps begin to ease.

Ava sat with her and chatted for a bit. "When I was cleaning your room the day before yesterday, I saw that emerald and diamond ring. Did Max give that to you?"

"Your mother... she hasn't contacted you in all these years. Why would she suddenly send you such an expensive gift?"

"My dad said she saw the recent news."

"To be able to send such an expensive gift, it seems she really did marry into wealth. She ignored your father when you were struggling, and now she suddenly reaches out. Does she know you married Max and wants to claim you now?" Ava didn't bother hiding the sarcasm in her voice.

Felicia could tell Ava was indignant on her behalf. When her mother took her brother and left all those years ago, Felicia had only felt a deep longing for her. As she grew older and slowly realized her mother had abandoned her, that longing turned into resentment. It wasn't until she found a loving family that her heart found peace, and she no longer felt any strong emotions toward her birth mother.

She had genuinely believed they would never cross paths again in this lifetime.

Receiving this gift from her birth mother hadn't sparked any excitement in her. In fact, Ava's words made perfect sense.

She set her mug down and reached out to hug Ava. "Anyway, we are a family now. I only have one mom."

Ava hugged her back, her eyes filled with nothing but tender affection. She didn't say anything more, afraid she might lose her temper.
