The bullet narrowly missed her heart.


Which does it mean, 'The bullet went through her heart at last.' or 'The bullet didn't go through her heart at last.'?

Thanks.

Hello,

It means that when the bullet entered her body, it came very close to her heart, but did not hit it. So, her heart was not injured, and kept beating.
