He Bought Her Heart, Then Destroyed It novel Chapter 17

James looked at the scene before him, but in his mind, he was thinking about Heather. When she was drawn for blood, did she feel the same fear and helplessness…

Just thinking about it nearly crushed him with pain.

Six months after Heather’s death, Luke went to the seaside.

That day in James’s office, he already had a bad feeling. After some investigation, he finally found out which hospital Heather had been treated at and who her doctor was.

Doctor Smith told him that her ashes had been scattered in the sea. He mournfully asked which sea area it was, and then bought flowers to honor her.

Luke placed the white bouquet on the beach, knelt down, and repented in front of the distant sea.

As the tide rose, the bouquet was carried away by the waves, slowly disappearing from his sight.

He hoped that Heather's spirit had received the flowers and had heard the deepest regrets in his heart.

Luke drove back to the company. Just as he arrived at the company gate, his assistant came to report.

"Mr. White, there’s an applicant waiting for you in the office. She’s been waiting for nearly an hour."

Making a comeback was not easy. Last time, the company had been sealed because of James. It took him a great deal of effort to resume operations.

His criminal record also made it very difficult for the company to hire people.

"Alright, I’ll go over now."

Luke opened the office door.

He saw a girl, very slender, with a slightly pale face.

As soon as she saw him, she immediately stood up, about to greet him, but a moment of confusion flashed across her face.

Luke didn’t think much of it and sat down behind the desk.

He looked at the girl's resume and furrowed his brow instinctively.

She had dropped out of high school, and there was a gap of three to five years after that.

With such a resume, he wouldn’t have considered her in the past.

But now, looking at the desolate state of the office, he told himself to lower his expectations.

"Why did you want to come to our company?"

He asked her a standard question.

The girl lowered her eyes. "Actually, it’s because no other companies are willing to interview me..."

She was very honest, her expression appeared obedient, and her aura was clean.

But there were several tattoos on her arms, which were at odds with her image, making her look very contradictory.

"Because of your low education?"

Heather stood in front of the bathroom mirror, still a little unable to comprehend the face looking back at her.

The body she now inhabited belonged to Melinda.

It was clearly her heart that was donated to Melinda before her death, but somehow, she woke up in this body, and Melinda herself had seemingly vanished.

It took Heather a full six months to accept this fact and learn everything she could about Melinda.

Melinda had been a rebellious girl. Perhaps it was because of her heart condition that her parents had been very strict with her, which made her even more defiant.

She had many tattoos on her small body, even though she was still young.

Because of her poor health, she dropped out of high school. The heart transplant surgery had drained her family’s savings.

So, after recovering a little, Heather’s first action was to send out resumes and look for work.

She needed to help her family with their financial difficulties.

After hitting many dead ends, she finally got an interview today and unexpectedly found herself at Luke’s company.

Luke had gotten out of prison and started a new company.

Thinking back to what happened seven years ago, it felt like a past life, but it was indeed from her previous life, as she had already died once.

Heather hated Luke for having James kidnapped back then and for causing her to get hurt…
