It was all she could do.
"Alright," the nurse replied.
"Felicia."
Felicia turned around to see Jeremy and the others walking toward her.
"Jeremy, are you okay?"
"I am fine," Jeremy assured her. "What happened here?"
Felicia breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained the situation.
They had seen this kind of tragedy far too often. The battle for capital dominance was always this ruthlessly cruel.
"You have done everything you could. Do not carry this burden with you, Felicia. Do not overthink it," Jeremy advised gently.
Felicia hummed in agreement. "I know."
Savannah voiced her clear annoyance. "Max really knows how to drag trouble to your doorstep."
If their relationship had not been made public, none of this would have had anything to do with Felicia. Watching that desperate scene earlier had truly been gut-wrenching.
Once the food delivery arrived, Felicia asked the nurse to take it inside the ward.
"Let us get going. We should finally get some dinner," Anthony suggested.
News of the massive crash on Chancery Road quickly dominated the local headlines.
Max was still at the office working.
Just then, Isaac knocked and walked in.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Hawthorne, there was a major traffic accident near Roen Capital," Isaac reported.
When Anne had called Max earlier, Isaac had been standing right there reporting on work. He also knew Felicia had ignored his boss's call.
So, when he saw the news footage, he instantly wondered if something had happened to her. Spotting someone who looked exactly like Felicia in the video, he rushed in to report it.
Hearing this, Max's hand froze over his documents.
"Here is the footage from the news report."
Isaac stepped forward and handed over his phone.
Along the way, Savannah could not help but complain on her behalf again.
"I suddenly think staying unmarried is perfectly fine. My parents have given up on me anyway. I am perfectly happy and free right now."
"Being alone is honestly really nice."
Being alone meant zero pressure from marriage or emotional entanglements.
Truthfully, eighty percent of a woman's misery in life stemmed from marriage.
If given the choice, she would much rather be completely alone too.
By the time she returned to Oakridge Estate, Anne had already fallen asleep.
Olisha stepped out of Anne's room. "Evelynn, you are back. You look pale. Are you feeling okay?"
"I am fine. I will go check on Anne," Felicia replied.
Olisha stepped aside.
Felicia pushed the door open and stayed with Anne for a little while.
As she walked out of the room, she ran straight into Max, who had just returned.

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....
