Chapter 734 Her Enemy Was Dead
Eliana got up very early the next day.She opened her sleepy eyes and looked around.
Maurice was already up and dressed, standing by the bed. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Today he wore a pure black suit and looked serious.
"you're awake! Go get dressed.I'll take you back to Moran family today," Maurice said seriously as soon as Eliana opened her eyes.
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Eliana quietly stood up and quickly put on her clothes.
When she was done, Maurice took her to the Moran family as he said.
The moment Eliana entered the Moran family house, she felt the place was familiar.She couldn't tell why she felt this way, but she was almost certain she had stayed here before.
Although she had lost her memory, those feelings were still there.She felt a mixture of bitterness and sweetness.
At this moment, Eliana couldn't help thinking of what Nana had told her.
Perhaps what they told her was true after all.She and Maurice probably really loved each other before, but they were a miserable couple as his family were against their love.
After looking around the house for a while, Eliana found something wrong.
The Moran family was wealthy.
Why then was the decoration so simple? Confused, Eliana turned to Maurice and asked, "Maurice, why is your house decorated so simply?" Maurice said nothing.
He silently led Eliana to the center of the hall.
Looking at the name board on the center of the hall, he said calmly, "Eliana, that's what I want to tell you.God gave Gerald the punishment he deserved."
Eliana followed his gaze and saw white flowers and a black-and- white photo on a simple wooden table.
The man in the photo was Gerald.
"Gerald...He's dead?"
Eliana was shocked.
Maurice picked up a bunch of white flowers and put them gently next to the name board.
"Yes, he is dead.Today is his funeral."
There were very few people present at the funeral.
The hall was very quiet.
Corbin was taking care of the few people who had come to mourn Gerald.
Sean was standing next to Corbin and his head was still wrapped in gauze.He was also in the car during the accident, and he passed out at the moment of the collision.
Eliana stepped forward subconsciously and carefully looked at the man in the photo.
This was the man who was responsible for the bankruptcy of the Pierce family and the miserable deaths of her parents.
Now he was dead.
Eliana's feelings at this time were very complicated.She had just found the man who destroyed her family, but there was nothing she could do now to avenge her parents because her enemy was dead.
Far from making her happy, Gerald's sudden death left Eliana empty and confused.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Maurice walked up to her and held her shoulder tightly.
He explained, "I intended to force him to kneel down in front of your parents’ grave to confess what he had done.Alas, that would never happen!"
Eliana remained silent.
Although Gerald was her enemy, he was also Maurice's uncle.
So she couldn't say anything now.
As such, Eliana and Maurice just stood silently in front of the name board, each having their own thoughts.
Soon, Corbin came over and whispered in Maurice's ear, "Boss, Mr.Moran is waiting for you upstairs."
Upon hearing that, Maurice's eyes darkened.
He turned to Eliana and said seriously, "Please wait for me here.I have something to deal with."
Eliana nodded silently.
She looked up at Maurice and for some reason, she felt worried about him.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Maurice chuckled and comforted her, "I'll be fine.Don't worry."
Maurice then turned around and went upstairs alone.
At this moment, Earle and Nancy were in Gerald's room.
The old couple looked tired.
Earle was sitting on the couch, his eyes closed, and his face was pale as he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Nancy, meanwhile, was staring blankly at a photo of Gerald in her hand.
The old woman looked sad.
Her hair got much grayer over the days.
The death of their son had obviously affected this couple so deeply that they seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here."Maurice said calmly as he walked into the room.He silently waited for Earle's punishment.
