Max stayed by Felicia's side until the family doctor arrived.
After assessing her condition, the doctor sighed. "She has suffered a severe psychological shock, resulting in acute stress disorder. Her body is exhibiting signs of somatization. If it worsens, it could lead to severe dissociation. She requires immediate psychological intervention."
The doctor administered a sedative. Slowly, the agonizing tension melted from Felicia's face, and her breathing returned to normal.
Once the doctor left, Max instructed the maids to keep a close watch on her. He then headed downstairs to the west parlor.
Jeremy was waiting for him. As Max walked in, their eyes met, and the air in the room seemed to freeze completely.
Max stopped in his tracks.
"How is she?" Jeremy demanded.
"Is your concern not a bit excessive, Mr. Milman?" Max retorted.
"Someone who never cared for her safety all these years has no right to judge my concern," Jeremy fired back, his voice dangerously calm.
Max stared at him, his face completely devoid of emotion.
A heavy, oppressive silence filled the room.
After a moment, Jeremy's tone sharpened. "Did she witness Mrs. Steele's fall?"
"I will take good care of her," Max said coldly. "You may leave now."
Having delivered the eviction notice, Max turned to walk away.
Jeremy's fists clenched at his sides. "What she needs right now is not your care. You will only make her feel more unsafe. If you want her to get better at all, you need to send her home, not lock her up in this house."
Max paused mid stride.
He did not respond. He simply resumed walking and disappeared down the hall.
Jeremy stood frozen, glaring at the empty doorway.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

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.
