"No no no." Harris quickly shook her head and said, "You know how to reset joints shows that you're much more skilled than me! I'm not sure if I can reset joints accurately and swiftly like you!"
 
I burst into laughter and said, "I was a bit embarrassed just now! I misunderstood that you wanted to jump into the lake and accidentally dislocated your joint."
 
"It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose," Harris remembered being embraced by me earlier, and her face turned red.
 
I didn't pay attention to that and simply asked, "Hey, did the man who harassed you during the day get caught by the police?"
Harris nodded and replied, "After going to the police station, he admitted to all his crimes and has been detained!"
 
"That's good!"
 
Pausing for a moment, I asked again, "Do you also live in this apartment complex?"
 
Harris hesitated for a moment before responding, "No, I have a relative living in this residential area. I'm just temporarily staying at her place."
 
After hearing that, I nodded.
 
"Mr. Edwards, do you live in this residential area?" Harris didn't know what to say, so she could only ask this.
 
"Yes!" I didn't deny it.
 
Harris asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Edwards, why are you still outside at this hour?"
 
"I got bored inside, so I came out to breathe some fresh air."
 
"I'm the same." Harris laughed and said.
 
I chuckled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Maybe we have some fate with each other!"
 
I felt that her personality was quite good and wanted to be friends with her.
 
"It can't be denied that you're good at flirting!" Harris chuckled in response, her tone not showing any discomfort.
I smiled and replied, "I don't want to flirting you, I genuinely want to be friends with you."
 
Harris leaned against the railing, smiled at me, and said, "Alright, I'll temporarily trust you then."
 
I laughed and asked, "If I remember correctly, your name is Harris, right?"
 
"Yes," Harris nodded.
 
"Your name is beautiful, just like your personality and appearance!" I complimented her.
 
Harris blushed and shyly laughed, "Mr. Edwards, are you joking? I'm not as beautiful as you say."
 
I shook my head seriously and said, "No, you are even more beautiful than what I say! Angels in heaven aren't as beautiful as you!"
 
"Mr. Edwards, your praise makes me very happy!"
 
"I'm just stating the obvious truth!" I replied.
 
After hearing me use such elaborate words to compliment her, Harris not only didn't get angry but also burst into laughter.
 
Everyone likes to be praised, and Harris is no exception.
 
Moreover, she is truly beautiful, so receiving compliments from others is natural.
 
"Oh right, Mr. Edwards, I still don't know your name?" Harris asked.
 
"I'm Andrew!" I replied immediately.
 
"The name Andrew symbolizes bravery and strength. I like your name," Harris said.
 
Upon hearing that, I burst into laughter and said jokingly, "Do you like my name or do you like me? Ha ha!"
 
Harris gave me a sideways glance, not getting angry but instead feeling a bit shy in her heart.
 
She was trying to find a topic to talk to me about when her mobile phone suddenly rang.
 
"Hello! I'm by the artificial lake. Alright, I'll be right there." Harris hung up the phone and turned to me with a smile, saying, "Andrew, I have to go home now. It was nice getting to know you!"
 
"Likewise," I replied with a smile.
 
"Goodbye!"
 
"Goodbye!"
 
Harris and I bid farewell to each other.
 
After I returned home, I received a message from Harris.
 
"Andrew, this is my mobile number. Let's chat if we have the time."
 
I smiled and replied to the message, "Sure, we'll meet again when we have the time."
 
Then I saved Harris's phone number in my contacts.
 
Meeting Harris was the happiest thing for me today. She has a good personality and is very suitable to be friends with.
 
Thinking about my superpower, I suddenly remembered my father's illness.
 
Then, a bold decision formed in my mind.
 
...
 
The next day.
 
I woke up early and went home to find my father.
 
At that moment, Mrs. Anna and Lily were cooking porridge.
 
When they saw me, Luna hurriedly ran out to buy some more bread.
 
I stopped her and raised a lunchbox, saying, "I've already had breakfast. I also bought a large pizza for everyone."
 
I placed the pizza on the table for Lily and Luna to eat, and then my mother went into the bedroom to visit Mr. Reuben Edwards, my father.
 
"Dad, I've found a way to cure your illness!"
 
Mr. Reuben, who was being fed porridge by Mrs. Anna, looked up at me with confusion.
 
Seeing that, I said, "Recently, my friend has been researching a method to treat lung inflammation. I want to try using this method to cure your illness."
