"But she cannot stay at your place forever," Felicia pointed out gently. "She needs professional medical and psychological treatment."
"Let us just keep her here for now," Luke replied. "As for treatment, we will have to wait until her condition stabilizes and see what Ivy decides to do."
"Understood."
Felicia walked out of the villa just as Savannah was stepping out of her car. Savannah waved enthusiastically. "Felicia!"
Felicia hurried over to greet her.
"Where is Luke?" Savannah asked, glancing toward the grand house.
"He is not home. I was just helping him look after someone."
Savannah looked puzzled. "Look after who?"
"Let's go inside first."
Felicia linked her arm through Savannah's, and as they walked back to the Ross estate, she gave her friend a brief rundown of the situation.
Savannah was equally baffled. If someone from the Manning family was unwell, why wouldn't they receive top-tier care at the Manning estate? Why would Ivy send her to Luke's place?
"I am guessing whatever caused her trauma happened inside the Manning household," Felicia theorized. "That is probably why Miss Manning asked Luke for a favor to keep her safe."
"So, how are things progressing between Luke and this Miss Manning?"
"I have no idea. That is entirely up to him."
Savannah shot Felicia a knowing look and shook her head with a helpless sigh. Luke's past hesitation truly was a pity. If he had only been a bit more forceful and proactive back then, he would probably have children running around by now. Unfortunately, there were no 'what ifs' in life.
Ava and Colton were already aware that Luke had brought a girl home. They had even sent food over twice, though the housekeeper had returned it untouched.
"How is the poor dear doing?" Ava asked as Felicia walked in.
"She had an IV drip this afternoon and managed to eat a little bit," Felicia reassured her. "Her mental state seems slightly better now."
Ava sighed sympathetically. "That poor child. Heaven only knows what she has been through."
That night, Savannah stayed over at the Ross family home. Ava had already instructed the staff to prepare a fresh guest room for her.

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....
