He Bought Her Heart, Then Destroyed It novel Chapter 21

Had he missed her so much that he was becoming paranoid? Or was there something truly strange about it...

He always felt that Dr. Smith was hiding something from him.

How did Heather die? Where did her body go? No matter what, he was determined to investigate thoroughly.
