Phillip returned to the locker room, tired from the whole day's training. Gritting his teeth due to the pain, he took off the artificial limb and found that his knee had swollen where it joined the artificial limb.
It hurts so much! Rubbing the swollen part, he suddenly began to miss Dai Li.
When Dai Li was there, Dai Li would give him several minutes of massage after the training ended, and his pain and swelling were quickly relieved. But now, the swelling and pain tortured him every minute, and they didn't leave even after a whole day's rest.
The training made his legs hurt, and he placed last every time he went to a race. Under such circumstances, Phillip couldn't find any motivation to go on. He was beginning to hate being an athlete.
Steven came into the locker room looking happy and excited.
"Good news, Barron! There is a sponsor in Oakland interested in you. I'll go to Oakland tomorrow to meet him," Steven said.
