Chapter 17

Jeremy inquired, "How did you hurt your knee?" Felicia refused to discuss anything and shook her head. "It's nothing." Jeremy didn't insist on getting more. The room became silent. Felicia spoke after a pause. "Mr. Milman, I want to take the baby and leave the country." Jeremy's eyes were worried as he gazed at her. "What's going on?" Felicia put her palm on her stomach and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't feel safe leaving my child with the Hawthorne family.

"This baby is wanted by the Hawthornes. How are you going to remove her? He was correct. How could she? Miranda now had a strong attachment to this child. She was not allowed to simply go with her. To ensure Felicia was comfortable, Jeremy stood up and carefully raised the blanket. "All of that stuff is not necessary for you to consider. Pay attention to your health and well-being.

That's the most important thing. Anthony and a nurse entered. Jeremy and Anthony went outside while the nurse attended to Felicia's knee. Anthony lowered his voice and leaned forward. "So, what happened between her and Max today?" Jeremy gave a headshake. "I honestly don't know." Anthony exhaled deeply. "I think Felicia's time here is coming to an end. Can you guess with whom I saw Max today?

Jeremy simply gazed at him. Anthony smiled, obviously having fun. "Come on, guess." Jeremy didn't bother to respond at all. Anthony pushed him. "Seriously, just guess." Jeremy looked away. "You're being ridiculous." At last, Anthony gave up and uttered, "Andrea. IronGate Industries' Andrea Curtis, you know." Jeremy did not respond. Anthony glanced at him, looking for any expression of surprise on his face. Angry, Jeremy reached out and shoved Anthony away. "Don't get your spit all over me."

Anthony looked at him. "You don't really give a damn, do you?" You're a fool, Jeremy told him with a look. Anthony put up his hands in surrender. "You truly are the most upright, unwavering man I have ever met. Max treats Miss Curtis like royalty, yet you rejected her. " The nurse emerged from Felicia's quarters. Felicia made the decision to stay overnight in the hospital. Jeremy ordered her dinner and made arrangements for someone to watch her. Jeremy and Anthony went to make sure she was comfortable before departing. Felicia slept through the night.

She was feeling considerably better by morning. Her belly made it difficult for her to perform it herself; therefore, the nurse's treatment of her knee was quite beneficial. Jeremy arrived early and brought breakfast. How do you feel? Felicia grinned as her cheeks began to flush. "Much better. "Thank you. "Excellent. Have some breakfast. Jeremy gave her a black puffer jacket after breakfast.

"The weather is chilly. Put this on for the time being." It was his jacket, but it was a good fit for her now. They got into the car and departed the hospital. Felicia had to return to Oakridge Estate to get her phone and belongings. She was aware that she could not remain there any longer. Around nine o'clock, they arrived at the villa. By now, Max ought to have left. After dropping her off, Jeremy departed for his appointment. After bidding farewell, Felicia went inside. However, she observed Max walking down the stairs as soon as she entered. He was still not on his way to work.

Felicia froze, staring up at his attractive, enigmatic face. She felt cold. Max filled the space with his weighty, purposeful steps as he descended. Her heart was racing, and she was having trouble breathing. He didn't even glance in her direction as he got to the bottom of the steps. Felicia discovered her voice. "Roughly last night. I was a bit sentimental. Jeremy was correct. Getting into a quarrel with Max would not be beneficial to her. Two months were all that remained. Her best chance was a smooth, quiet divorce. There was no need to add to the previously existing problem.
