The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 995

Anne absolutely insisted on coming along, so Felicia had Mabel pack up their breakfast into some Tupperware containers to take with them.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Max was immediately whisked away for an emergency examination.

Anne sat nervously on a bench in the hallway, completely lacking the appetite to eat.

"Daddy's just having some stomach pain. He'll be better soon. Don't worry," Felicia comforted her gently.

But Anne remained deeply distressed, her little head drooping. "Daddy just got out of the hospital. The doctor told him to eat well and rest well, but he hasn't been resting at all. I want him to stay at Mommy's house to rest, but he has to leave again."

Felicia stroked Anne's head, trying to soothe her. "He is going to be perfectly fine."

Anne tilted her head up, looking pleadingly at Felicia. "Mommy, can you please tell Daddy to stay here until he gets all better?"

"That depends entirely on what he wants to do."

"If you ask him to stay, he will definitely stay," Anne declared with absolute certainty.

Felicia found it utterly impossible to say no to her daughter. "Alright, I will ask him later."

"Okay."

"Now, how about you eat a little something? You can't stay here on an empty stomach."

Anne nodded obediently.

Felicia peeled a hard-boiled egg for her first.

By the time Anne finished the egg, Max had completed his tests and was moved to a private room to receive an IV drip. It was a severe flare-up of acute gastritis. The condition had triggered two days prior, but because he hadn't taken his medication as prescribed, it had violently resurfaced.

He lay pale and exhausted on the hospital bed.

The attending physician delivered a few stern instructions before exiting the room.

Felicia and Anne stood faithfully by his side.

"Daddy," Anne whispered, her big eyes brimming with worried tears.

Max weakly reached out to stroke her hair. "Daddy's fine, sweetheart."

Felicia crossed her arms. "You are responsible for your health. Since you're sick, shouldn't you know how to rest and take your medicine properly?"

Max leveled his gaze at her. "And watch Anne cry without doing anything about it?"
