Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 1072

"Then what about you? What are you going to do?" Wren asked, her face etched with sadness and pain as she looked at Gabriel.

No matter what happened, Gabriel was her only son. If he couldn't make it out of this situation, she felt her own life would lose its meaning.

Gabriel's expression remained indifferent. "What happens to me is none of your concern. Just take care of yourself."

"What kind of nonsense is that? How can I not care about you?" Wren demanded.
