Because Parker was tall and broad-shouldered, Lydia chose an open-air restaurant to ensure he wouldn’t feel confined in a cramped space. Her considerate choice brought a wide smile to Parker’s face. He had left his shirt in the car, wearing only a fitted white T-shirt that showcased his well-defined muscles. His imposing physique and strikingly handsome features turned heads as he walked through the restaurant. Despite the attention, Parker remained unaffected, his gaze solely focused on Lydia.

Lydia noticed this too. Whenever Parker appeared in public, he was always the center of attention, his rugged charm causing hearts to flutter—including hers. Yet, he still saw her as the child she used to be, and this perception was why she had to keep her emotions tightly controlled.

As she observed his muscular frame, Lydia was reminded of her childhood, when she would ride on his back. She recalled how, in moments of distress, he would sit beside her, helplessly allowing her to use the hem o

  • WHEN LOVE HEALS   Chapter 10 Beginning of love

    “Joe!”Lydia’s voice was filled with shock and disbelief. She had never seen Joe like this before. The man who was always immaculate and precise now looked disheveled and unsteady.Even when she had discovered his infidelity, he hadn’t appeared this far gone. What on earth had happened to him? Lydia's eyes widened in confusion and concern.Joe, however, responded with a grotesque grin as he staggered towards her, the stench of alcohol so strong that Lydia instinctively covered her nose.Parker, recognizing the danger, quickly moved to intervene. Joe, seeing Parker’s approach, laughed maniacally, his demeanor now that of someone completely unhinged.“Is this why?” Joe's voice was harsh as he jabbed a finger at Parker. “Is it because he’s the reason you ended things with me?”Lydia’s eyes flared with frustration. “This has nothing to do with Parker. I made this decision entirely on my own.”“Lydia... why won’t you give me another chance?”“Because things can’t go back to how they were,

  • WHEN LOVE HEALS   Chapter 7 Once-close friend

    Lydia had so many gifts for her boss and colleagues that she couldn't carry them all onto the bus. Although she had a driver's license, she hadn't considered buying a car since her workplace wasn't far from her home. By coincidence, Parker called her just before she could request a Grab ride. Upon learning of her situation, he quickly offered to pick her up and drop her off at work himself.“Isn’t your work busy, Parker?” Lydia asked as she settled into the passenger seat of Parker’s pickup truck.“Not just yet; it’s not time for the appointment,” Parker replied casually. “I can drop you off at work.”Lydia looked at him, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. “Do you stay around here?”“No, I’m staying at a hotel. Since I only come to Bangkok every now and then, I don’t see much point in buying a house or a condo,” he explained with a shrug, his tone relaxed and matter of fact.Lydia considered his words. She knew there was no reason to refuse his kindness, especially since it made her mor

  • WHEN LOVE HEALS   Chapter 6 Return to Bangkok

    In the end, Lydia returned to Bangkok with Parker in his four-wheel-drive pickup truck, which had a Rung Arun Farm sticker on the door.“Are you embarrassed to be riding in a pickup like this?” Parker asked as he loaded the souvenirs into the truck bed, which had a cover to ensure that nothing would fly out or get damaged by the sun or rain.Lydia giggled. On her way there, she had only brought a small backpack since she already had clothes at her grandparents' house. But on the way back, she had accumulated a lot more, mostly souvenirs that Parker had generously packed into the back of the truck.“When I was a kid, I used to ride in your pickup to school, Uncle Parker. Have you forgotten? If I was going to be embarrassed, it would've been back then,” Lydia said with a playful grin as she placed her backpack behind the passenger seat. The pickup truck was a four-door model, and knowing that she might get hungry during the trip, Parker had someone prepare a basket of snacks for them to

  • WHEN LOVE HEALS   Chapter 5 Break off Engagement

    Lydia slipped the simple engagement ring off her slender finger and placed it on the table, a small, determined smile playing on her lips. As her grandparents quietly sipped herbal tea at breakfast, they exchanged knowing glances, understanding the significance of her gesture without needing to say a word.“Are you sure about your decision, my dear?” Grandfather asked, his voice gentle but firm, wanting to ensure that Lydia was making her own choice. He didn’t want to influence her; after all, it was her life to live, with all its joys and sorrows. Yet, deep down, knowing what his beloved granddaughter had endured, he silently hoped she would walk away from it all. When Lydia nodded, her expression calm and resolute, he felt a deep sense of relief. It was clear she had grown into a strong woman, capable of making wise choices for her future.“Yes, I’ve thought it through,” Lydia replied, her voice firm and steady. There was no hint of regret or sadness in her eyes. “Please help me ret

    Parker strolled back into the house, a car keychain swinging from his fingers and a cheerful whistle escaping his lips. Doctor Anan, who had been savoring Auntie Im’s delectable cooking, looked up from his meal with curiosity. he couldn’t help but admire Auntie Im’s culinary prowess—her dishes were a perennial delight, never failing to impress him no matter how many times he indulged. As he surveyed his friend from head to toe, a knowing smile crept across his face, tinged with a touch of wistful longing. He shook his head slightly, his expression a blend of admiration and a touch of nostalgia.“That’s quite the haul, you cradle robber,” Doctor Anan teased with a grin.“Is it really that obvious?” Parker raised his eyebrows in playful surprise as he took a seat next to his friend. He wondered how many others might have noticed and whether it would stir any reactions from those around them.“I’ve never seen you like this before,” Doctor Anan remarked, his eyes widening with surprise. “
