sObj.getSObject(parentfield) is returning NULL

Hi 

I am running this generic code which is used to return set of ID.

public statset<id>getetIdSet(sObject[] pSobjects, string pSObjField){
        set<Id> sObjIdSet = new set<Id>();
        for(sObject sObj : pSobjects){
            if(pSObjField != null){
                //split reference fields
                string[] refFields = pSObjField.split('\\.');
               
               if(refFields.size() > 1){
                 System.debug(sObj.getSObject(refFields[0]));
                    if(sObj.getSObject(refFields[0]) != null && sObj.getSObject(refFields[0]).get(refFields[1]) != null){                       
                        sObjIdSet.add(string.valueOf(sObj.getSObject(refFields[0]).get(refFields[1])));
                    }
}
return sObjIdSet;
}
getIDset(newContacts, 'reference_field__r.field__c');
System.debug( sObj.getSObject(refFields[0])); this statement is returning NULL even though there is value in both the field.

Can someone please help regarding this issue . how to access parent fields when running from child trigger context.
