第二十章 (Lucky us)
Savannah带John到医院看望Tim——原来Tim得了重病，生活的重负都落在了Savannah的肩上，其实并没有人能够真正分担她的痛苦与绝望，她只能选择坚强。与John聊到自己面对的困境，以及她想要让Tim得到更好治疗的愿望，却苦于没有足够的钱……两个被生活重伤的人，在精神上相互安慰与鼓励……幸好他们还有彼此。我猜John会售卖父亲留给他的硬币去帮助Tim治疗，欲知结果如何，只能拭目以待。
Part 2: Q&A
1. Where did John see Tim?
John saw Tim in a hospital.
2. Was everything going well to Tim? How was his situation?
No, Tim had gotten sufficiently sick. He couldn’t stop vomiting, and when nothing else would come up, he just kept dry heaving.
3. What did Tim say to John about Savannah?
Tim said that Savannah’s been great, she’s had to handle everything lately, but she never complained about it. And whenever she’s around Tim, she tried to be strong.
4. How did Savannah’s parents and friends handle the topic related to what she was going through?
None of her friends can even relate to what she was going through. Her parents would do anything that she asked, and they’re always offering to help. Her mom brings over their meals, but every time she drops off the food, she’s just a bundle of nerves. Her father always avoided the topic.
5. Was there any treatment that worked for Tim’s disease? Why didn’t they try it?
Some places like MD Anderson or the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins, there’s cutting-edge research going on in those places, but their insurance won’t pay for it.
