The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 754

Felicia looked up at the man standing before her. "Anne is already asleep."

Max's gaze drifted down to the bandage on her palm. "What happened to your hand?"

Felicia lifted her hand for a brief glance. The skin was scraped, but the hospital had already cleaned and bandaged it. She lowered her hand without elaborating. "It is nothing. Just a minor scrape."

His dark eyes locked onto her. After a brief silence, he chose not to pry further, simply giving her a few routine reminders.

"Alright. I am heading to my room," Felicia said, stepping past him.

Just then, a WeChat voice call chimed from her purse. She pulled out her phone, stared at the caller ID for a second, and paused. She finally pressed accept. "Hi," she called out, sounding slightly unnatural.

A man's voice came through the speaker.

Darin had seen the news as well. He had instantly recognized the people in the footage and had already called Jeremy. Since he was calling Felicia using an AI voice changer to hide his identity, she could not recognize his true voice.

"I am totally fine. Do not worry. It is just a minor scrape," she said, her voice gradually softening into something much more natural and warm.

Max stood rooted to the spot, watching her retreating figure. He finally looked away and walked in the opposite direction.

During breakfast the next morning, Max reminded her about the banquet that evening.

He told her he would send someone to take her for styling at three in the afternoon.

Felicia simply nodded.

"Grandma will pick you up from school today. You will be sleeping at Grandma's house tonight," Max told Anne.

Anne nodded obediently. "Okay, Daddy and Mommy, you go ahead. I will be very good and listen to Grandma."
