The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 826

It was already eight thirty in the evening when Felicia returned to Oakridge Estate. The moment she stepped through the door, little Anne's joyful voice rang out. "Mommy is back!"

Max looked at her, his demeanor appearing entirely calm. "You are home."

Felicia glanced at him and offered a soft murmur of agreement.

The nanny brought over a cup of warm, bitter herbal tea prescribed for her holistic treatment. Felicia downed it, though after days of the regimen, the taste still made her stomach churn. Seeing her grimace, Anne hurried over to hand her a piece of sweet candy. As for Felicia's visit to the Gilbert family earlier that day, Max refrained from asking any questions.

Over the following week, Felicia stayed at Oakridge Estate. She took her medication on time, attended her therapy sessions, and handled dropping Anne off and picking her up from school. During her free hours, she read books at home, making a concerted effort to process the constantly changing news from the outside world.

Today brought another batch of special deliveries. This time, it was an assortment of fresh imported seafood, likely caught and shipped within a mere twenty four hours. The crates also contained premium vitamins, Swiss chocolates, and a variety of gourmet treats meant specifically for children.

Felicia unpacked the boxes and dialed a familiar number. Darin was in the middle of a meeting when his phone buzzed. Unable to take the call, he declined it and sent a text message instead.

Felicia typed her reply. Please don’t send so much next time. We cannot possibly eat all of this.

Darin quickly texted back. Just let me know when you finish it all.

When will you be done with work over there? she asked.

Darin was fully aware of Felicia's recent fragile state. Fearful that a sudden reunion might trigger her trauma, he did not dare meet her in person yet, using his demanding job as a convenient excuse. It might take a little more time. I will let you know in advance. Have you been feeling better lately? he wrote.
