He Bought Her Heart, Then Destroyed It novel Chapter 22

His voice was calm. “What are you doing?”

Heather quickly hid the bank card behind her, apologizing. “I’m sorry…”

“Sorry for what?”

“I’m sorry… I took your card.”

He had kindly brought her home, but now she had stolen from him, taking such an important card.

Would he call the police? Would she go to jail? She wasn’t pretending not to be scared.

James didn’t respond. Under her gaze, he stood up and slowly approached her.

She backed away until her back hit the wall, with no escape.

“Need money?”

“Yes… I’m sorry, can I borrow it from you? I’ll pay it back.”

“Tell me how much you need. I can give it to you, but you have to answer one question first.”

“Go ahead.”

“How did you know the password for the safe box?”

Heather froze, standing still for almost half a minute, before coming up with an outrageous excuse.

"I guessed."

"So coincidental that you even guessed my birthday."

"It is indeed quite a coincidence..."

The man suddenly raised his hand. She didn't know what he was going to do and was so scared that she shut her eyes.

But he only pointed at her chest from a distance.

"You've had a heart transplant, right?"

Heather opened her eyes and pretended to stay calm. "Yes, I have a heart condition."

"Do you know who donated this heart to you?"

"I don’t know. The hospital keeps that information confidential."

"You don't know? Let me tell you. It was the woman I loved the most—her name is Heather."

Upon hearing that name, her eyelashes fluttered just a little, but she quickly wiped the emotion off her face.

"Is that so? What a coincidence."

"Is it just a coincidence?"

"Mm..."

"Heather!"

James couldn’t keep up the act anymore. He cupped her face and kissed her.

The kiss came so suddenly that Heather was caught off guard, nearly suffocating from it.

She pushed him away with all her might and fell to the edge of the bed.

"I'm not! I'm Melinda."
