The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 972

Out in the living room, Max pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Jeremy leaned back comfortably on the sofa, quietly listening as the other man spoke.

Once the call ended, Max lowered his phone and shifted his piercing gaze to the man sitting across from him. "I haven't let go of her, so don't even think about it," he warned, his voice dripping with unmistakable menace.

Jeremy did not bother to reply, and the living room descended into a heavy, unbroken silence.

That night, Felicia tossed and turned in bed, utterly unable to sleep. It was only when dawn began to break that she finally managed to drift off for a meager three hours. When she woke up, her head throbbed with a groggy haze. She sat propped up against the headboard, unmoving and looking exceptionally desolate. Resting her hand gently against her lower abdomen, she realized she still could not feel the presence of the baby at all.

She lost track of how much time passed before a gentle knock at the door broke her reverie. "Felicia?" Mabel called out softly.

Snapping back to the present, Felicia threw off the covers and walked over to open the door. The nanny took one look at her and asked with genuine concern, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I'm fine," Felicia replied softly. "Is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, it's all ready. Do you want me to bring it in here, or will you eat in the dining room?"

"Where are they?" Felicia asked, glancing toward the hall.

"Mr. Milman and the other gentleman left at some point during the night. Neither of them is here right now," Mabel explained.

Felicia let out a small hum of acknowledgment. "I'll go wash up first."

"Alright."

Felicia returned to her room and pulled back the curtains. The relentless rain from the previous night had finally ceased, giving way to a bright, clear sky. She changed into a fresh set of loungewear and headed to the bathroom to wash up. Afterward, she swallowed two folic acid pills along with her prenatal vitamins. Just to be safe, she carefully tucked all the pill bottles away into a drawer. Once she stepped out of her bedroom, she headed to the dining room and gave Mabel a quick heads-up about her plans.
