The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 946

To an outsider, Felicia appeared completely fine. But to Ava and Colton, her eerie calmness was utterly heartbreaking. They were beside themselves with worry, entirely unsure of how to pull her back to reality.

When Jeremy visited the Ross household one evening, Felicia had just finished dinner. She was sitting alone on the upstairs balcony, staring blankly at the sunset. The evening breeze ruffled her hair, but she remained perfectly still, a silent statue against the fading light.

Jeremy stood a short distance away, watching her quietly. Beside him, Ava spoke in a hoarse, anxious whisper. "She is like this every single day. What are we going to do? Luke called earlier and said Anne has been admitted to the hospital."

They had not dared to break the news to Felicia. She had locked herself away in a mental fortress, and no one knew how to breach the walls.

Jeremy walked slowly over to the balcony and stood beside her. He followed her gaze toward the horizon, where the setting sun cast a golden veil over the sky. Watching them from afar, Colton kept dabbing at his teary eyes. Ava placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Let's go downstairs and give them some privacy." Colton nodded, his eyes red and puffy as they retreated.

It was not until the last ray of sunlight vanished from the sky that Jeremy finally turned to look at the unresponsive Felicia. "Felicia," he said softly. "Anne needs you right now."

The words acted like a catalyst. Felicia finally reacted, slowly lifting her eyes to meet Jeremy's gaze. He knew she had been trying her hardest to hold herself together for her daughter's sake. She had to gather her strength if she was going to take care of Anne.

Downstairs in the living room, Luke strode through the front door and greeted the solemn couple sitting on the sofa. "Ava. Colton."

They both looked up at his arrival. "Luke, hi," Ava said.

"Where is Felicia?" he asked.

"She is upstairs. Jeremy is with her."

Just as Ava finished speaking, the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase. The three of them looked up to see Jeremy and Felicia descending the stairs.
