The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1218

Once they arrived at the hospital, they settled in. The entire floor was reserved exclusively for Felicia, with medical staff providing round the clock care. By now, Felicia found it nearly impossible to sleep through the night, and Max stayed awake right beside her, keeping a vigilant watch over her every hour.

That night, she finally managed to drift off, only to be plagued by a terrible dream. She dreamt that her pregnancy had made her heavily overweight and haggard, and Max was looking at her with absolute disgust. She jolted awake with a gasp, her eyes immediately meeting a pair of soft, profoundly deep eyes. The man gently rested his hand on the top of her head, his voice laced with pure concern. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

His voice was tender, strong, and undeniably real, yet the horrific images from her dream felt just as vivid. Max watched her stare at him in silence. Reaching out, he warmly enveloped her hand in his. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Felicia exhaled a shaky breath and gently shook her head. "I need to use the restroom."

Max immediately got out of bed first and carefully helped her to her feet. With her belly so massive that she could go into labor at any moment, he firmly supported her waist all the way to the bathroom. He opened the toilet lid, and as Felicia lifted her nightgown, he gently helped her pull her underwear down to her thighs. In the beginning, Felicia had been incredibly unaccustomed to such intimate assistance, but after so many occurrences, she had naturally learned to accept his unwavering help.

After she finished and washed her hands, Max supported her back to the bed. He lay down beside her, gently resting his hand over her lower abdomen. Leaning in, he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her head. "Just a little longer. The baby is coming soon."

"Max," Felicia murmured.

Max hummed softly in response.

Then, she suddenly asked a question that hung heavy in the air. "When I gave birth to Anne, were you like this too?"

Hearing this, Max tightened his grip on Felicia's hand. "Why ask about that all of a sudden?"

"I just wanted to know," Felicia replied.

In the end, Max chose not to answer her question, and Felicia did not press the issue any further.

Later that day, Darin called Felicia.

"Are you and Savannah coming over?" Felicia asked.

"Yes. Savannah, Ava, Dad, and I are all flying over tomorrow," Darin confirmed.

At that moment, an indescribable warmth blossomed in Felicia's heart. Knowing her family and friends were going to be by her side brought her immense comfort. "Okay."

"Are you in a lot of pain right now?" Darin asked.
