When Jeremy answered the phone, Darin immediately gave him an update. "Felicia is resting right now. She seems completely normal at the moment. I am going to stay here for a couple of days to keep an eye on her condition."
"Send me a copy of her treatment plan," Jeremy replied.
"I took photos of the plan after I reviewed it," Darin said. "I will send them to you shortly."
Jeremy agreed, then added a word of caution. "Given Felicia's current mental state, it’s not a good idea to let her see you or realize who you are. We must stay in touch."
Darin tightened his grip on his phone. "I know." He understood that revealing his presence would only add to his sister's psychological burden.
After ending the call, Darin sent the photos to Jeremy. He sat on the edge of his bed, his heart heavy with worry.
When Jeremy finished reading the treatment plan Darin sent, his expression darkened. The trauma focused therapy meant tearing open every single wound Felicia had suffered all over again. While this method worked wonders for ordinary patients, it was absolutely not viable for her. Max had clearly seen and approved of this approach. Jeremy tried calling Max, but the man rejected the call instantly. Refusing to give up, Jeremy sent a text message. "Max, if you truly want Felicia to recover, you need to terminate this treatment plan immediately."
Max glanced at the message on his screen but did not reply. He simply tossed his phone aside.
Around five in the afternoon, the butler approached Max with a report. Felicia had woken up without any abnormal symptoms, and Dr. Harrison had conducted a brief, simple conversation with her. Because Felicia was entirely aware of her condition, she was actively cooperating with the treatment. She did not want to be controlled by her negative emotions and was trying incredibly hard to get better. She had eaten some pastries earlier and was now in the garden painting with Anne. Using art to improve her mood, along with having her daughter by her side, was significantly helping her mindset.
Max walked toward the garden and spotted the mother and daughter from a distance. Surrounded by a sea of flowers and fluttering butterflies, the air was fragrant, and the scene painted a picture of absolute peace. Anne sat on the grass, leaning against her mother as they wove a flower crown together. Once finished, Anne placed it gently on Felicia's head. "Mommy is so pretty," the little girl giggled.
Felicia pulled her thoughts back and shook her head. "Nothing in particular."
Max did not press her further. He simply raised his hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Felicia watched him closely as he withdrew his hand, a faint smile touching his thin lips.
From a window on the second floor, a solitary figure stood in silence, watching the scene unfold in the garden below.
Anne ran off to chase a passing butterfly. Max lifted Felicia into his arms and settled her onto a nearby bench. He draped his arm naturally around her shoulders and held one of her hands warmly in his. Felicia leaned against him, remaining completely still. There was no emotional fluctuation on her face, making her look like a lifeless porcelain doll.

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....
