Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 88

Time was tight, and there was no way she could finish the project all on her own.

She figured she might as well go to The Landon Medical Center and recruit her former research colleagues from her past life—Tabitha Tully and Dr. Alistair Sterling.

Both women had impeccable character and brilliant technical talent. Willow trusted them completely.

Besides, Dr. Sterling had been at The Landon Medical Center for a long time. She might even know the truth about what happened to Caspian Skye back in the day.

Willow needed solid proof that the Landon family had fraudulently stolen Caspian's gratitude to ensure Tessa had absolutely zero chance of a comeback.

With that in mind, Willow gently pushed open the door to Dr. Sterling's office, only to be told she was doing her ward rounds and wouldn't be free for a while.

Since she was already there, Willow wasn't about to just walk away.

She asked which floor Dr. Sterling was on and headed up to find her.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she walked straight into Asher Shaw, who had come out for some fresh air.

The instant Asher saw Willow, his eyes lit up. The deathly gloom that had clung to his face for days visibly lifted.

He pushed his wheelchair forward and cautiously called out, "Willow..."

Only then did Willow notice his presence. Glancing down at him, she couldn't help but furrow her brow.

Asher had deteriorated severely over the past few weeks, wasting away until he was little more than skin and bones.

How exactly was the Shaw family taking care of him?

In the past, every time Asher came out of surgery, he would suffer from severe anorexia. Willow had been desperate, endlessly researching herbal broths and nutritional meals to help his body recover, begging him to eat just a few bites.

But Asher had always been impossibly picky, violently flipping over the trays of food Willow brought him. Back then, she had assumed he just had zero appetite.

Until she saw with her own eyes how Asher happily devoured the food Tessa brought him.

Bite after bite, even if it was just a cheap cup of instant noodles, he ate it with a smile.
