it's very possible uke didn't know where to contact him and ML wouldn't actually help. The ML was clearly fickle with his relationship with the uke so I think he went based off that
I blame the top for knotting and marking the uke without his consent too. I genuinely believe if the top was a better and more reliable person, the uke could've turned to him, but their relationship didn't have that and nor did it end well. Poor uke probably didn't think he had a choice, but let's hope ML can help our precious little one no
