Part 1: What We Learned:

第二十章 (Lucky us)

Savannah帶John到醫(yī)院看望Tim——原來Tim得了重病，生活的重負都落在了Savannah的肩上，其實并沒有人能夠真正分擔(dān)她的痛苦與絕望，她只能選擇堅強。與John聊到自己面對的困境，以及她想要讓Tim得到更好治療的愿望，卻苦于沒有足夠的錢……兩個被生活重傷的人，在精神上相互安慰與鼓勵……幸好他們還有彼此。我猜John會售賣父親留給他的硬幣去幫助Tim治療，欲知結(jié)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.
