Her expression weighed heavily on me.I asked with concern, "What's bothering you?"
"My body...It's not holding up.I'm always in pain, so I can't sleep at night."

"Right here."
She pointed to her abdomen, gently patting it.
"You haven't told Matthew?"

"How long has this been going on?"
Her lips trembled.
