The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 996
Felicia settled for a simple bowl of oatmeal and some salad.
"Are you still on a diet?" Max asked.
Catching the implication behind his question, she replied evenly, "I just don't have a big appetite in the mornings."
"You hardly ate anything for lunch yesterday either," Max pointed out.
Felicia kept her eyes on her food, carefully avoiding his gaze. She was doing everything in her power to avoid meats and anything with a strong scent. Even the thought of eating an egg turned her stomach right now.
With him sitting right there, she had to be extra vigilant to prevent any sudden bouts of morning sickness. She was strictly sticking to grains and vegetables, eating very little protein.
"The weather has been so hot lately. I just can't eat much," she explained casually. Looking up at him, she added naturally, "Unlike you, landing in the hospital every other day. Just focus on taking care of yourself. Don't let your body completely fail you."
The man's dark eyes glinted dangerously. "In what specific way do you think I might fail?"
Caught off guard, Felicia froze for a second before snapping, "Talk less. Eat more."
Suddenly struck by a surge of amusement, Max persisted. "If you don't specify exactly what's failing, how am I supposed to know what medicine to take?"
Felicia furrowed her brow in irritation. "Are you going to eat your breakfast or not?"
"I can eat perfectly fine while you answer my question," Max replied smoothly.
"I don't want to answer it," she stated bluntly.
Max looked down at their daughter. "Anne, your Mommy refuses to answer Daddy's question."
Felicia was completely speechless.
Anne obviously didn't understand what her parents were actually bickering about, but she unconditionally took her mother's side. "Then Daddy needs to ask nicely, and Mommy will answer."
Max looked up at Felicia's thunderous expression and smirked. "Alright then. Daddy will ask very nicely later."
He finally dropped the subject.
After they finished eating, Felicia packed away the containers.
They spent the entire morning keeping him company in the hospital room.
At one point, Felicia stepped into the hallway to call Jeremy and update him on the situation.
"Is it serious?" Jeremy asked.
"Never mind. I won't go." Max turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
Felicia's fingers curled into tight fists, her breathing growing heavy. This infuriating man was becoming more insufferable by the minute.
Anne sat on her stool, looking back and forth between her parents. She had absolutely no idea what they were fighting about now.
"Mommy, if Daddy doesn't go to the bathroom and pees in the bed, everyone is going to laugh at him."
Felicia genuinely wished he would just pee in the bed.
But ultimately, she walked over to the bed and unhooked his IV bag, holding it up high. The man didn't move an inch.
"Do I need to send out a formal invitation for you to get out of bed?"
"That won't be necessary."
Max slid out of bed, keeping his IV arm raised. He looked at the woman standing rigidly apart from him. "Aren't you going to support me?"
Felicia glared at him, her eyes practically screaming that her patience was wearing dangerously thin.

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....
