Felicia looked up at the man standing before her. "Anne is already asleep."
Max's gaze drifted down to the bandage on her palm. "What happened to your hand?"
Felicia lifted her hand for a brief glance. The skin was scraped, but the hospital had already cleaned and bandaged it. She lowered her hand without elaborating. "It is nothing. Just a minor scrape."
His dark eyes locked onto her. After a brief silence, he chose not to pry further, simply giving her a few routine reminders.
"Alright. I am heading to my room," Felicia said, stepping past him.
Just then, a WeChat voice call chimed from her purse. She pulled out her phone, stared at the caller ID for a second, and paused. She finally pressed accept. "Hi," she called out, sounding slightly unnatural.
A man's voice came through the speaker.
Darin had seen the news as well. He had instantly recognized the people in the footage and had already called Jeremy. Since he was calling Felicia using an AI voice changer to hide his identity, she could not recognize his true voice.
"I am totally fine. Do not worry. It is just a minor scrape," she said, her voice gradually softening into something much more natural and warm.
Max stood rooted to the spot, watching her retreating figure. He finally looked away and walked in the opposite direction.
During breakfast the next morning, Max reminded her about the banquet that evening.
He told her he would send someone to take her for styling at three in the afternoon.
Felicia simply nodded.
"Grandma will pick you up from school today. You will be sleeping at Grandma's house tonight," Max told Anne.
Anne nodded obediently. "Okay, Daddy and Mommy, you go ahead. I will be very good and listen to Grandma."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
