Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 90

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be entertaining any reckless ventures, but her own mother had passed away from a neurological disease.

She still vividly remembered the agonizing, contorted expression on her mother's face in her final moments.

The loss of a loved one was the deepest, most painful anchor buried in her heart, and the moment it was touched, it threatened to pull her under completely.

Dr. Sterling stayed silent for a long time before letting out a short, resolute laugh. "Willow, count me in."

If her mother had access to a specialty drug back then, perhaps she wouldn't have had to die.

She didn't want anyone else to endure the same suffering she had gone through.

Willow nodded. "The project officially kicks off in a week at the latest. During this time, I'll need both of you to handle your resignation paperwork with The Landon Medical Center. We can't allow anyone to interfere with the project we're pouring our blood and sweat into. Once it's successfully developed, you'll each get ten percent of the shares."

Dr. Sterling rested her head on Willow's shoulder with a smile. "Then I'll just wait for you to make us filthy rich!"

Willow smiled, chatting with them for a little while longer before finally heading home.

The piano piece 'Rebirth' exploded the moment it dropped. In just a single day, it skyrocketed to the top of the charts across all major music platforms as an instrumental track!

Royalties flooded in relentlessly. Several renowned singers even reached out, hoping to buy the rights to add lyrics, while others asked for custom collaborations.

Willow had no shortage of money now. Even if she didn't win the gold medal at the piano competition, the royalties alone were more than enough to fund an entire research lab.

Worst-case scenario, she'd just write a few more songs.

With complete peace of mind, Willow spent the day seeking inspiration, heading to bed early that night to make sure she was well-rested for the battle ahead.

She was originally supposed to visit Vivienne's house as a guest, but Vivienne insisted that the competition took priority and that they could catch up once it was over.

Early the next morning, Vivienne drove her straight to the competition venue.
