Chapter 832 WEDDING

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Alia, you have to persuade Kia to talk to us, you have to tell her that we regret it very much, whatever it is, to listen to us or talk to us again."

"Do you really regret it, though?" Alia didn't want to sound like she was reprimanding her parents, but she was genuinely questioning their intentions. If they were truly sorry, maybe she could talk about it with Kia, now that the relationship between the two of them had gotten a lot better than before.

However, they must know that they couldn't impose their will as all that couldn't be solved in a day or two. This whole reconciling thing would take a lot of time and patience.

"Mother, are you really sorry?" asked Alia hopefully and held her mother's hand, looking at her intently. "Did you really mean what you said?"

"Of course." Amber nodded. She then sat on the edge of the bed, together with Alia, while Lyle stood in the doorway, but he didn't say anything.

Her father had never been a man who could express what he was feeling or thinking, therefore, it was their mother who had always communicated with them.

"If that's true, give my medical history to Kia. She asked them to be able to save Mika."

They both still did not know that the medical history was already in the hands of the Tordoff family.

"But, Mika is healthy now," Amber said in a low voice. Because otherwise they wouldn't have a party at home to celebrate her return, at least that was what Alia told her mother. She told her mother that Mika had returned home.

"Mom, dad." Alia turned her eyes to her father. "You all know very well what my illness is like, it doesn't mean that just because Mika has come home everything will be fine with her. She could get sick again and that is something you all know very well, this illness… I can never really recover from this and you know that very well, don't you?"

Amber lowered her head and Lyle shifted his gaze elsewhere, as if he didn't want to hear the continuation of what Alia was about to say.

"Therefore, regardless of whether Mika has returned home and is getting better or not, I hope you will still provide the medical history because it will really help Mika, isn't she also your granddaughter? She is your first grandchild and the people you are helping are your own children and grandchildren."

Alia tried to see if there was any hope with her parents, if they would melt down. But all she got was silence in response. They both didn't want to see it.

"Father, mother, can you provide my medical history without forcing Sis Kia to return? Without forcing her to talk to you?"

Amber kept her head down, but she turned to look at Lyle with pleading eyes. It was clear that the stubborn one here was their father, as their mother couldn't go against her father's wishes.

"Lyle," Amber called Lyle in a sad voice. "What Alia said is true. Kia will come around eventually if she thinks it is the right time for her to come to us, we can't force her."

Only, Lyle didn't have the same thought.

"No. She didn't come even though it had been four years already. Not even once. What makes you think she will come after we give her what she wants?" asked Lyle in a voice filled with emotion.

Alia looked at her mother, trying to see if she would support her or not, but her mother just lowered her head. She knew very well that even if she wanted to, she wouldn't dare to talk back to her father.

"You can't be like this, daddy…" Alia said. She looked sad, because she loved them both, her parents had done everything to help her. It was just that they treated Kia with partiality and she couldn't help but feel bad about it.

Alia loved Kia very much and she looked up to her sister.

"It's very easy, Kia just needs to talk to us and we will provide the medical history. Is her ego bigger than her daughter's recovery?" Lyle glared fiercely at Alia, but there was hurt behind those resolute eyes.

"In that case, I would like to ask you the same thing, father. Is your ego that big to continue to hold my health history as leverage to get what you want, even though it costs your own granddaughter's life? We are talking about someone's life here and you still stand by your stance, isn't that very selfish?"

Lyle bit his tongue so as not to say anything more. What his daughter said was true. She wasn't wrong, but it still sounded very uncomfortable to his ears.

Meanwhile, Amber took Alia's hand and shook her head, trying to keep the two of them from getting into a cold war.

"I will go now," said Alia. "Will is already here."

And with that, she left her mother and father in her room. She really regretted that they were so stubborn. They didn't want to back down at all.

Even though this was their grandchild they were actually talking about.

However, this matter was completely beyond Alia's capability now, she could no longer tell her father and mother when they had decided like this.

==========================

"I want to meet mom and dad and also Daniel before my wedding day," said Kia.

The birthday party for Mika was actually just a small family party, where only a few close family members attended, such as Misha's cousin, Jayden, and his wife, Apple, and their children as well as Misha's uncle, Ramon and Hailee, his wife.

They were important people in the business world that you couldn't see every day, therefore, it was a fortune for Alia to be able to see them as a family, even though she didn't really understand how important they were, because for a child of Alia's age, important figures in the business world were not the same as her idol figures.

"Sis Kia is really going to meet them? Are you serious?" asked Alia in surprise, she stared at Kia deeply. Prior to this, Kia said that she would marry Misha in less than two months.

The wedding would also take place in a solemn atmosphere, with fewer than fifty guests. This was a closed event, because Kia didn't want to be exposed too much, and neither did Misha.

They didn't want the media to catch wind of this wedding and start highlighting Mika who was already a big child and reporting nonsense about their little daughter.

"Yes, I'm serious," said Kia.

"Is…" Alia started, but before she could hope for more, Kia shook her head.

"Do not expect too much. I have no intention of rekindling our relationship."

"Oh…" Alia looked a bit disappointed, but she respected her sister's decision. She did not force or ask her any further.

"Could you tell them about it? I will meet them before my wedding with Misha." Kia looked calm as she talked about this meeting. In the end, she wanted to have the closure that she hadn't had so far.

"Okay." Alia nodded and smiled at her sister, but then she remembered something. "Are you going to invite them to your wedding?"

But with one look, Alia had gotten the answer she was looking for.

No. Her sister would neither invite their parents nor Daniel to this wedding.

But, in that case, what would Kia say to their parents?

After the day's events were over, Will drove Alia home safely, according to Misha's instructions.

Even though the man looked cold, he was actually also kind, but still, Alia couldn't stop thinking how Kia could fall in love with a man who looked so expressionless.

"Alia," Lyle called as she walked into the house.

"Yes?" Alia was quite surprised when she found her father still awake at this hour.

"Could we talk for a minute?" asked Lyle in a low voice, as she walked into the living room.

Alia was confused, but she followed her father.

And when they arrived at the couch, Alia chose to sit across from her father and stared at him intently.

"What's the matter, dad?"

"How was the party?" asked Lyle. Both of them knew this wasn't the point of this conversation, but Alia ignored that and nodded at her father.

"The party was fun, they hired magic clowns and some other attractions for children, but only the members of the nuclear family came," said Alia. "It was a small party, there weren't even kids of Mika's age there, just like a family gathering."

Main family. A family gathering.

Lyle felt that someone had stabbed his heart with those words, how could he ignore those words?

Weren't they part of that nuclear family as well? They were supposed to be there for that family gathering, but then Lyle shook his head.

It wasn't the heart of the matter that he wanted to talk to Alia about.

"This. I want you to give this to Kia," Lyle said as he took something from a nearby drawer and gave it to Alia. "If Kia really doesn't want to meet, then no problem, there's no need to meet. She needed that to save her daughter, didn't she?"

Alia was shocked when she saw her medical history. "Actually, Sis Kia said she wanted to meet you a week before her wedding."

"Wedding?" Lyle was taken aback.
