The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 765

Max stayed by Felicia's side until the family doctor arrived.

After assessing her condition, the doctor sighed. "She has suffered a severe psychological shock, resulting in acute stress disorder. Her body is exhibiting signs of somatization. If it worsens, it could lead to severe dissociation. She requires immediate psychological intervention."

The doctor administered a sedative. Slowly, the agonizing tension melted from Felicia's face, and her breathing returned to normal.

Once the doctor left, Max instructed the maids to keep a close watch on her. He then headed downstairs to the west parlor.

Jeremy was waiting for him. As Max walked in, their eyes met, and the air in the room seemed to freeze completely.

Max stopped in his tracks.

"How is she?" Jeremy demanded.

"Is your concern not a bit excessive, Mr. Milman?" Max retorted.

"Someone who never cared for her safety all these years has no right to judge my concern," Jeremy fired back, his voice dangerously calm.

Max stared at him, his face completely devoid of emotion.

A heavy, oppressive silence filled the room.

After a moment, Jeremy's tone sharpened. "Did she witness Mrs. Steele's fall?"

"I will take good care of her," Max said coldly. "You may leave now."

Having delivered the eviction notice, Max turned to walk away.

Jeremy's fists clenched at his sides. "What she needs right now is not your care. You will only make her feel more unsafe. If you want her to get better at all, you need to send her home, not lock her up in this house."

Max paused mid stride.

He did not respond. He simply resumed walking and disappeared down the hall.

Jeremy stood frozen, glaring at the empty doorway.

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
