Love Unspoken

Alexander slowly removed his mask and dust-free cap, casually tossing them into the trash can.

His eyes were murky and inscrutable, making it hard for others to discern what he was thinking.

Kyle cast another glance at the ICU.

He wasn't sure what had just happened inside, but with so many doctors going in, something must have gone wrong with Getty.

Getty's greatest desire at the moment was to see Alexander now. Could it be that seeing him caused her to get too emotional, worsening her condition?Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bring Getty's parents over," Alexander suddenly said, interrupting Kyle's thoughts.

Kyle snapped back to reality, nodded in agreement, and immediately made a call to have Getty's parents brought to Regal Riverside.

Getty's parents had been here for several days, but they hadn't seen Getty even once.

Led by Kyle, they walked into the villa. Seeing Alexander on the sofa, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

Trembling, they approached him and urgently asked, "Sir, how is Getty? Has she woken up?"

"When can we see her?"

Alexander sat on the sofa, quietly observing them, making their already hunched bodies bend even more.

"Don't rush. Have a seat first," he said calmly.

They dared not to resist and cautiously sat down diagonally across from Alexander, feeling a bit at a loss.

Alexander lit a cigarette and crossed his legs.

After taking a puff, he spoke, "You are very worried about Getty?"

The old lady quickly nodded, "Yes, she is our daughter. Of course, we are worried about her."

"Biological?"

At these words, both of their faces froze. They exchanged a glance and struggled to find words, unsure why he was asking this. Alexander said, "Relax, I just want to get a sense of the situation."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, I've already checked your identities, so let's try to avoid small talk to save each other's time." Growing increasingly tense, they sat on the edge of the sofa, as if they might topple over at any moment.

"So, what do you want to know?"

Alexander asked, "Where did you adopt Getty from?"

The old lady recalled, "From a ditch."

"Be more specific."

"We used to work in Sylvadora. One night after work, we heard a child crying near the factory. We ran over and found a baby lying there."

"I had a difficult labor before and lost the baby. After that, I couldn't get pregnant. When we saw that child abandoned, we thought it was a gift from God, so we took her home."

The elderly lady grew emotional as she delved into the past, her eyes welling up with tears.

Unsure whether the child was lost or abandoned, they quitted their jobs and returned to their hometown out of a strong desire for the child.

The couple went through great hardships to raise Getty.

But as Getty grew older, she started to resent her parents. While other kids' parents were young and glamorous, hers appeared shabby, aged, and ugly.

Every time they visited her school, she would get angry, feeling that they had made her lose her dignity.

Gradually, for Getty's self-esteem, they rarely appeared in front of her and her friends.

Sometimes, even if they crossed paths on the street, they pretended not to know each other, not exchanging greetings.

However, they never shortchanged Getty. Whatever her classmates had, she had too. They scrimped and saved to buy the best things for Getty.

It wasn't until Getty graduated from college, perhaps as she matured, that she started to view her parents in a different light, no longer resenting them as before. Moreover, she started to use her salary to buy them clothes and gifts, and even sent them a significant sum of money.

But that was about it. After graduating, she rarely came home.

They were afraid that visiting Getty would compromise her dignity, and with their advanced age, they couldn't handle the hassle, so they never went to see her. She treated them fairly well, often sending things and money back, so they were living decently at home.

"So, you found Getty in Sylvadora? Was there any other child there? Or, was there any keepsake?"
