Chapter 65 Excess Energy

"Are you sure you want to go up there and take a look?" The villager who was in charge of leading the

way asked the crowd.

"Yes!"

Jerry Webb, the associate editor, said enthusiastically. "The ladies can stay. Gentlemen, let's go! How

can we tell the world what we truly feel unless we experience it for ourselves? This is the best way we

can get everyone to really know Starham Mountain! Let's go!"

"Jerry, I'd like to go as well!" Emery abruptly raised her hand and said, although she was terrified just

now.

"Can you do it?" Jerry asked doubtfully.

"Sure!"

"Of course!" Emery said as she looked at the children on the suspension bridge.

"Great! That's the spirit. Catalina, what about you?"

"I can do it too!" Catalina replied without hesitation.

"Great! Let's go!"

They all carried their bags and equipment across the suspension bridge and climbed to the mountain's

summit.

Emery had admitted earlier that she was afraid, but once she was on the bridge, she suddenly found

her courage. She clenched her teeth the whole time but still cheered for the crowd.

"You can do it, Catalina! Hang in there! We'll be there soon."

"I'm fine! Watch your step."

"I'll definitely go to the gym every day when I get home, in case I'll get sent to the mountains on

business again."

They were talking when they heard a scream from above.

They noticed a child, about five years old, suddenly roll down from above.

"Ah!"

The other children all screamed in terror.

Catalina and the rest of the team were shocked.

Jerry was the first to respond. "Everyone, let's try to catch him!" he exclaimed.

He reached out an arm to catch the kid.

Everyone caught on quickly to what he meant, so they all stood with arms outstretched, prepared to

catch the child.

Jerry reached for the child, and he fell quickly. But to his surprise, the child just slipped through his arm.

Catalina reached for the drawbridge and grabbed the kid's arm as she lunged at him.

Then they heard the sound of Catalina's wrist breaking.

"Catalina!" her colleagues shouted in terror.

Catalina's face turned pale instantly, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Her right hand's joint had broken, but the child still held onto her arm. He was holding her tightly while

sobbing.

"Hurry! Take him up." Catalina shouted. She tried her hardest to keep the pain at bay.

The people below her snatched the child from her arms and returned him to the bridge.

"Catalina, it appears that your wrist is broken!" Emery was the first to notice Catalina's distress.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt."

She thought the pain of her broken arm was insignificant compared to the satisfaction of helping the

child because she could repair her broken wrist.

"However, I may be unable to proceed with you."

She had broken her wrist and would be a liability to the team if she continued to work with them.

"You should go back, Catalina! Be careful!" Jerry said, "Emery, why don't you go back with Catalina and

look after her? Please don't worry, guys. We've brought along a medical team. We're all heroes today.

We did not go up that bridge, but we saved a child. I'll tell the superiors to to reward all of you when we

get back."

"Thank you!" The crowd replied loudly.

Despite Catalina's injuries, everyone became extremely motivated to move forward.

Catalina and Emery walked slowly away from the suspension bridge. The boy climbed back up the

bridge, escorted by the team.

After witnessing them reach the summit, Catalina returned to the office with Emery's assistance.

The medical staff arrived promptly to perform a preliminary examination of Catalina's arm.

"Take it easy. It's even better than we anticipated. Actually, it's just slightly dislocated. Your arm is fine!"

Emery was relieved to learn that Catalina's arm had only been dislocated. "That's fantastic. Thank

goodness it isn't broken."

"We have to reset your joint. Please be patient if you experience some discomfort."

"All right! Not a problem for me." Catalina squinted her eyes shut very tightly.

Emery's fear caused her to quickly close her eyes.

Catalina lay down flatly on the bed. After administering longitudinal traction, the doctor moved her arm

gently and rotated it in and out. Her joint was successfully repositioned quickly, with a crunching sound

and her scream.

"It's done." The doctor said as he put his hand down on her arm.

"So, that's it?" Incredulous, Emery rushed to Catalina's side and asked, "You can move your arm now?"

Catalina's eyes were nearly watering from the pain.

The doctor intervened just as she was about to move her arm. "Your joint is now back in place, but you

must wear a bandage for a week to protect it. This will help the recovery of your arm."

"Thank you very much, doctor."

The bandage was soon wrapped around Catalina's forearm and hung around her neck.

The doctor gave her some advice before leaving their room.

Catalina checked the bandages on her body.

She was relieved Bennett didn't see her look like this because she would have been embarrassed.

Catalina had no idea why she kept thinking about him. "Aren't we all getting divorced already? Maybe I

should stop thinking about him so much!" She thought to herself.

Catalina sighed and closed her eyes, saying, "That medicine is making me dizzy. I really need to get

some sleep."

"Okay. I'm going to make you something to eat."

Emery thanked herself for putting so many ready-to-eat meals in her suitcase.

Catalina began dozing off.

A white tennis ball flew directly at Darnell on an open tennis court in Spring Fall, Sayton.

Darnell ducked down in terror just as it was about to strike him on the head. He collapsed on the

ground, covering his head with his hands.

"Damn it!" He shouted.

Bennett, dressed in white athletic wear, was already perspiring profusely.

Sweat beaded on his handsome nose and stained the hair on his forehead. And instead of calling a

timeout, he yelled, "Come on!"

"No! I'm done! I've had enough!

Darnell threw his racket to the ground in exasperation and yelled at Bennett, who was standing across

from him, "Look, I get that your wife is out of town and that makes you a bit more hyper than usual, but NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

that's no excuse for treating me like garbage! "

Bennett glared indifferently at Darnell on the other side of the court.

Vincent immediately handed Bennett a towel and a bottle of water.

"How did you know Catalina wasn't there?" Bennett asked Darnell as he wiped his sweaty face with the

towel.

"How could I not have known?"

"She's my employee, so, of course, I know where she's gone," Darnell said, sitting cross-legged on the

floor.

"Where has she gone?"

"She went into a mountain."

Bennett frowned as he stopped wiping away his sweat.

Darnell didn't miss any of Bennett's small, subtle expressions.

He smiled as he noticed Bennett's surprise. He jumped to his feet and yelled gloatingly, "She didn't tell

you about her trip to the mountains? She was gone for a week. Did you just learn about this?"
