The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 949

Felicia's pupils flared sharply. For a moment, her breath hitched, and she struggled to find her voice. "What news?"

"We can confirm that he is alive," Darin said firmly. "I have already sent people over to verify his condition. He is likely injured, though."

Felicia's grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. "Okay."

"Take care of yourself, and take care of Anne," Darin gently urged.

"I will."

Lowering her phone, Felicia bowed her head. She remained completely motionless for what felt like an eternity.

Kate broke the silence with a cautious question. "Felicia, is there news about Max?"

Snapping out of her daze, Felicia gave a slow nod.

"As long as he is alive, that is all that matters," Kate offered warmly. Yet, as she studied Felicia's subdued reaction, Kate felt utterly bewildered. Max was alive. Shouldn't she be ecstatic? Relieved? Crying tears of joy? This chilling silence made Kate question what kind of feelings Felicia truly harbored for her husband.

Around the same time, the head butler received the same miraculous update. Anne burst out of the tea room and sprinted straight toward her mother. "Mommy. Mommy. Daddy is coming back."

Felicia lovingly stroked the excited little girl's head. "I know, sweetie. Mommy knows."

Anne bounced on her toes, the dark cloud that had hovered over her finally dissipating into pure, unadulterated joy. "Yay. Daddy is coming back! Mommy, we will never ever be separated from Daddy again."

Leaning against Felicia's legs, Anne gazed up at her with starry, hopeful eyes. Felicia continued to stroke her hair, a gentle, melancholy smile gracing her lips, but she did not respond to the innocent declaration. "Let's go home now, shall we?"

"Okay," Anne chirped. She spun around to wave goodbye to Kate, Paul, and Randy, then grabbed her mother's hand and practically dragged her out of the manor.

Kate watched their retreating figures before turning to her sons. "Where is your Great-grandma?"
