To an outsider, Felicia appeared completely fine. But to Ava and Colton, her eerie calmness was utterly heartbreaking. They were beside themselves with worry, entirely unsure of how to pull her back to reality.
When Jeremy visited the Ross household one evening, Felicia had just finished dinner. She was sitting alone on the upstairs balcony, staring blankly at the sunset. The evening breeze ruffled her hair, but she remained perfectly still, a silent statue against the fading light.
Jeremy stood a short distance away, watching her quietly. Beside him, Ava spoke in a hoarse, anxious whisper. "She is like this every single day. What are we going to do? Luke called earlier and said Anne has been admitted to the hospital."
They had not dared to break the news to Felicia. She had locked herself away in a mental fortress, and no one knew how to breach the walls.
Jeremy walked slowly over to the balcony and stood beside her. He followed her gaze toward the horizon, where the setting sun cast a golden veil over the sky. Watching them from afar, Colton kept dabbing at his teary eyes. Ava placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Let's go downstairs and give them some privacy." Colton nodded, his eyes red and puffy as they retreated.
It was not until the last ray of sunlight vanished from the sky that Jeremy finally turned to look at the unresponsive Felicia. "Felicia," he said softly. "Anne needs you right now."
The words acted like a catalyst. Felicia finally reacted, slowly lifting her eyes to meet Jeremy's gaze. He knew she had been trying her hardest to hold herself together for her daughter's sake. She had to gather her strength if she was going to take care of Anne.
Downstairs in the living room, Luke strode through the front door and greeted the solemn couple sitting on the sofa. "Ava. Colton."
They both looked up at his arrival. "Luke, hi," Ava said.
"Where is Felicia?" he asked.
"She is upstairs. Jeremy is with her."
Just as Ava finished speaking, the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase. The three of them looked up to see Jeremy and Felicia descending the stairs.

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....
