The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 223

Felicia glanced up.

Gavin and Max had just walked in. For a moment, Felicia felt completely thrown off.

“Evelynn, you’re awake. How do you feel? Should I get the doctor?” Gavin asked, his voice gentle.

“No, really, I’m fine now,” Felicia replied.

Gavin walked over to her bedside and leaned in. Before Felicia could move away, his hand was already pressed to her forehead.

“You don’t feel feverish anymore. But you haven’t had lunch yet. What do you want? I can have something brought up.”

She shook her head lightly. “I’m not hungry. I’d really like to be alone for a bit. Can you both go?”

Gavin straightened up and glanced at Max. Then he looked back at Felicia. “Max wants to talk to you for a minute.”

Felicia refused to meet Max’s eyes. “There’s nothing for us to talk about. Gavin, take him with you.”

Gavin turned to Max. “Maybe let’s wait until Evelynn’s feeling better.”

Max stared at Felicia, his expression cold. “Gavin, give us a minute,” he said quietly.

Felicia shot him a glare, her voice sharp. “Max, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Seeing how upset she was, Gavin tried to calm her down. “Evelynn, just relax. I’ll get him out of here. You get some rest.”

He walked over and gave Max’s arm a little shove. “Come on. Evelynn doesn’t want to talk right now. Let her rest.”

Max didn’t move, his eyes still on Felicia.

Gavin tried again, more firmly this time. “Let’s go. Seriously.”

Finally, Max let himself be pushed out. Gavin closed the door behind them and turned to Max.

“I don’t care what your girlfriend’s issues are with Evelynn, but I’m not going to let you hurt her.”

Max shoved his hand in his pocket and started down the hall. “You haven’t even gotten her to like you yet.”

Gavin just shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. I just want her to be happy. That’s all. I love seeing her smile.”
