"Mommy, what's inside?" Anne asked curiously.
"Nothing special," Felicia replied smoothly, expertly steering the conversation to another topic.
The next day, Heather, Yara, and Jeremy flew back to the Capital.
Jeremy sent her a text: Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, call me.
Felicia replied: Thank you.
Over the next few days, Felicia settled into a routine. If she wasn't overwhelmed with work, she brought Anne to the office. However, her morning sickness was becoming increasingly severe. Her appetite plummeted. Mabel tried her best to cook bland, scentless meals, but Felicia still threw up whatever little she managed to eat. By the time the weekend arrived, she was far too drained to take Anne out to play.
"Mommy, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Anne asked, her big eyes filled with worry. She had noticed her mother's exhaustion.
"I'm fine, sweetheart. Don't worry," Felicia reassured her gently.
Anne climbed onto the couch and wrapped her little arms around Felicia's neck. "I'll stay right here with you."
Felicia held her daughter close, her heart melting. If only Anne could stay by her side forever like this. But deep down, she knew this quiet, peaceful life wouldn't last. All she could do was cherish the time they had left.
Felicia snapped back to reality. She didn't click on the article. Instead, she set the phone face down. "Thank you, I'm fine."
The nurse remained unconvinced and brought the doctor over anyway. After a brief checkup, the doctor advised her to get plenty of rest and avoid emotional distress to help with the physical symptoms.
"I understand. Thank you, doctor," Felicia murmured.
The medical staff left the room. Felicia lay back down, staring blankly at the ceiling before slowly closing her eyes. She didn't want to hear anything. She didn't want to see anything.
Suddenly, the door clicked open again. Felicia opened her eyes. Seeing the intruder, her brows pulled together in a tight scowl. "What are you doing here?"

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
