The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 782
After issuing his final instructions, Dr. Harrison turned to leave.
Darin followed the doctor out into the corridor for a private conversation. "Given the patient's current condition, isn't it highly detrimental for her to remain near someone who previously caused her severe trauma?"
Hearing Darin's pointed question, Dr. Harrison connected the dots. Based on Felicia's terrifying reaction to Max during her episode, it was undeniably clear that Max was the source of immense psychological damage in her past. While Max was currently sparing no expense to treat her, his constant presence was a massive liability. Under normal circumstances, she might cope, but the moment an episode struck, the devastating memories of his abuse would replay endlessly in her fractured mind.
"That is correct," Dr. Harrison admitted softly. "Especially during an active episode, traumatic memories will resurface repeatedly. His presence does indeed negatively impact her recovery."
Darin's eyes darkened fiercely. "Which means it would be infinitely better to place her in a completely relaxing environment, surrounded only by people who make her feel safe."
Dr. Harrison nodded slowly. "For psychiatric and psychological conditions, a stress free environment is absolutely vital."
"Thank you, Doctor. I understand," Darin replied before dismissing him.
Darin walked back into the living room and found Max waiting by the door. "We need to talk," Darin demanded.
The two men sat across from each other in the silent living room. Darin broke the tension first. "I am sure you heard exactly what Dr. Harrison just said."
Max remained completely silent.
"No matter how professional the medical team you hire is, as long as you are here, her episodes will drag her back into the past. To her fragile mind, you are fundamentally no different from Holden. If you truly want her to recover, you will send her back with me right now. You are absolutely not the person she needs by her side."
Jeremy was not surprised. It was the exact same pattern from two years ago. The moment night fell, her emotions spiraled completely out of control, requiring constant supervision. During these episodes, she would endlessly relive the agonizing trauma, her memories twisting and overlapping violently. Whether it was the sheer suffering of her pregnancy or the terror of Holden's captivity, everything crashed down on her at once. Most terrifying of all were her memories of her newborn baby. At the slightest noise, she would believe her baby was crying and desperately search everywhere for her.
Holden's kidnapping was never the sole cause of her mental collapse. The symptoms had already taken root during her pregnancy in New York. Felicia had simply forced herself to suppress the pain. Holden's cruelty was merely the spark that finally obliterated all her remaining defenses.
"I understand," Jeremy replied softly. "I will handle it."
When Felicia finally woke up, it was already noon. The sun was shining brilliantly outside. Anne sat quietly by her mother's bed, playing happily with her building blocks. Hearing the rustle of the sheets, the little girl turned around and saw her mother sitting up. She immediately jumped to her feet. "Mommy, you are awake."
Felicia looked at Anne affectionately and reached out to stroke her soft hair. Just then, Max opened the door and walked inside.

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....
