Edie had known this man for six years. But she never heard about this.
This man never showed any weakness in front of her. She never expected he had this problem.
Edie didn't care whether he was pretending or not. She was so worried about him. So she stood the pain and walked to him to grab his hands.

His fingers got hard as if they were frozen. It took Edie quite a while to hold his fingers.

"When did you have this?"
