The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 47

Felicia picked up the call. “Hi, Grandma.”

“Felicia, how have you been feeling lately?” Miranda’s voice was gentle.

“I’m doing well,” Felicia answered.

“That’s good. I don’t have anything planned tomorrow, so I thought I’d come see you, and maybe take you to the hospital for a check-up.”

Felicia froze for a second. Since she’d moved into Oakridge Estate during her pregnancy, Miranda had never visited her once. What;s with the sudden concern, asking to see her and even take her for a check-up? It was obvious Miranda cared a lot about the baby she was carrying.

There was no reason to say no.

“Of course, Grandma. I’m actually staying with my parents for a couple of days. Just let me know what time, and I’ll meet you at the hospital.”

Miranda’s tone grew curious. “Why are you at your parents’ house?”

So Max hadn’t mentioned anything about the divorce yet. That conversation definitely wasn’t hers to have with Grandma.

She kept her answer simple. “I just haven’t visited in a while and wanted to come home for a bit.”

“It’s fine to visit your family for a day or two, but you should get back soon. Take care of your husband. Felicia, I really don’t think you listened to what I told you before.”

Felicia stopped where she was, gripping her phone a little tighter. She hesitated, then said quietly, “I’m sorry, Grandma. I…”

Miranda didn’t let her finish. “Enough. Let’s say ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”

Felicia let it go. “Okay.”

She hung up and set down her phone. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself, then headed toward her building.

Miranda had already arranged everything. An attendant came to show them the way. Miranda waited in a VIP room, sipping tea and reading a magazine while they waited for the results.

An hour later, the head of obstetrics brought the report straight to her. The baby was perfectly healthy. Miranda’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the ultrasound photos.

“Look at that little nose and mouth. So cute.”

“She’s going to be a beautiful girl,” the doctor chimed in.

Miranda was beaming, clearly wishing she could hold her great-granddaughter right away. Her attitude toward Felicia softened even more.

After the check-up, Felicia got into Miranda’s car. They were heading back to Oakridge Estate. There was no point in arguing.

During the ride, Miranda spoke to her in a patient, almost gentle tone. “You and Max have a child now. Life’s long, and you need to take your responsibilities seriously as a wife. Your future is something you need to fight for. A man won’t just wait around for you forever.”
