The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 939
"Daniel is currently observing the situation," Darin said as he hung up the phone, offering Felicia a comforting look. "As for whether he makes any moves later, we just have to wait. But the Hawthorne family still has Miranda, and if push comes to shove, Max's father certainly won't sit idly by."
Felicia offered a small nod of understanding. As Darin returned to reviewing the files, she managed to eat only a fraction of her food before her appetite completely vanished. Darin watched her quietly pack away the containers, letting out a soft sigh of heartbreak. He knew her greatest fear right now was Anne growing up without a father.
He simply refused to believe Max was truly gone. A man of his caliber did not die so easily. For now, all they could do was wait. Pushing his thoughts aside, Darin focused his attention back on the encrypted files on the monitor.
By six o'clock in the evening, Darin turned to her. "Felicia, you need to go back and get some proper rest. Maybe there are some important documents left at your apartment anyway. If there is any news, I will contact you immediately."
Given her fragile state, he feared she would suffer a complete mental collapse if she did not step away. Felicia did not argue. With Darin holding the fort, she felt a small measure of peace, knowing he was genuinely trying to protect Max's interests. She left the office first. The current period was incredibly dangerous, so Darin ordered a security detail to follow her vehicle, ensuring her absolute safety.
Once inside the car, Felicia slumped against the seat, completely exhausted, and unknowingly drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes.
The violent inertia threw Felicia forward, jarring her completely awake. Her heart leapt into her throat. "What is happening?"
"Get down, ma'am!" the driver shouted, reacting instantly. He reached back and shoved her down toward the floorboard.
Understanding the peril, Felicia scrambled to make herself as small as possible on the floor. A second later, the sharp, deafening crack of gunfire erupted outside. The car was equipped with bulletproof glass, preventing the bullets from penetrating the cabin. Noticing that Felicia was safe, the driver swiftly returned to the wheel, slammed his foot on the gas, and sped away while the two escort vehicles moved to block the attackers.
Crouched on the floor, Felicia's nerves were stretched to their absolute limit as the car weaved erratically through the avenue. The deafening sound of metal colliding echoed around them as cars crashed. Felicia covered her mouth, her mind completely blank. A violent wave of nausea churned in her stomach, and tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she desperately fought the urge to be sick.
After what felt like an eternity, the vehicle's erratic movements finally smoothed out.
The driver helped her back into the car and drove her to the apartment. Noticing her terrible condition, the butler immediately ordered the maids to assist her to her bedroom while he quickly called the family doctor.
As Felicia collapsed onto her bed to rest, her phone began to vibrate. The butler answered it.
"Mr. Foxhall," the butler greeted.
"Mrs. Hawthorne just arrived home. She is unwell, and I have already contacted the family doctor to come over."
"Okay." Darin replied grimly.

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....
