Marcus's POV
I stood frozen, watching Anna's profile in the afternoon sunlight. Seeing her again aroused of emotion through me so powerful I nearly staggered. My children-our twins-were growing inside her, and she had no idea I knew.
"Just picking up some medication for my father," I said smoothly, forcing my voice to remain casual. "He's feeling a bit under the weather today."
Elizabeth Shaw studied me with barely concealed suspicion, her protective stance beside Anna speaking volumes.
"We just finished Anna's checkup. She was feeling a bit dizzy this morning."
My chest tightened with concern. I wanted to step forward, to offer my arm for support, to be the one she leaned on. Instead, I maintained my careful distance, this charade of polite interest killing me by inches.
"Would you like me to recommend a specialist? I have connections here." Murphy Global owned a significant stake in this hospital.
