The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 780

"Stabilize her condition first before we proceed with any deep therapy," Max finally ordered. He then turned to Darin, who had remained entirely silent. "Your opinion?"

"We will do just that for now," Darin agreed coldly.

By this time, Felicia had fallen into a deep sleep. A warm, ambient light illuminated the spacious bedroom. Anne snuggled close to her mother, and the two slept peacefully together on the large bed.

Darin slipped into the room to check on Felicia. He did not stay long. When he stepped back out into the hallway, he found Max standing by the door. "Are you sleeping here tonight?" Darin asked sharply.

"Her sleep is unstable at night," Max replied. "Someone has to keep watch."

Darin's expression darkened even further. "I am sleeping in the next room tonight."

"Suit yourself," Max said dismissively.

Darin retreated to the adjacent bedroom. His phone rang again, displaying Yvonne's number. She had called several times earlier in the day, but he had ignored every single one. This time, he answered.

He held the phone to his ear in pure silence. Yvonne's voice came through, completely stripped of her usual anger and demands. She sounded eerily calm and exhausted. "Darin, I was too impulsive the other day and said some wrong things. Whatever issues we have, we can work them out as mother and son. I heard Felicia is sick. How is she doing now?"

Yvonne had entirely lowered her pride. But Darin's tone remained freezing cold. "There is absolutely nothing left to resolve. It must be so difficult for you to pretend to care about Felicia's health."

Yvonne tightened her grip on her phone, desperately wanting to explain, but Darin cut her off with merciless words.

"You do not need to fake your concern for her anymore. From the moment you abandoned her, you ceased to be her mother. And from this moment forward, you can consider yourself without a son."

Yvonne's face drained of color. "Darin..."

He hung up immediately.

Listening to the dead tone echoing in her ear, Yvonne sank onto the sofa, utterly devastated.

"Mom." Andrea's voice broke the silence.

Yvonne looked up as Andrea suddenly threw herself into her arms, crying bitterly. "Mom, is Darin never going to like me again?"

Yvonne stroked Andrea's hair, entirely at a loss for words to comfort her.
