Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 314: Finding Morgan IV

Ewan couldn’t even nod to accept Athena’s thanks; his neck was stiff, and his back was still burning.

There must be an injury there. He thought, trying and succeeding to lift his thumb to give her a thumbs-up.
