"I'm here to witness your debut race in place of Grandpa."
Emily replied with a smile.
Actually, back in Australia, Staler had already discussed with Chen Xiangbei about going to China to witness his debut race, but was declined.
The reason for the refusal was simple; Staler's body couldn't handle the journey.
Aging often happens in a flash, especially after Staler retired to enjoy his twilight years, Chen Xiangbei could clearly feel that his vigor and spirit were not as they used to be.
There were many things he didn't want to trouble the old man with anymore, nor did he want him flying back and forth with jet lag; it was fine for him to sit in front of the TV and cheer at nearly eighty years old.
Staler could understand Chen Xiangbei's good intentions, but he still wished to have a sense of participation in this important moment of his debut race, so he had his granddaughter Emily attend instead.
