LOGINWhen I came home to begin my postpartum recovery, my husband Martin Summerland spent a lot of money on an android because he cared about me that much. He also programmed her to treat my orders as her highest priority. I frowned at the beautiful female android called "Ruby" standing before me and wanted Martin to return her at first. But he kept persuading me to try her for a month, promising that I would be satisfied. After watching her handle every task perfectly for a month, I finally agreed to keep her. But that very night, my baby son Samson's crying woke me. Ignoring the pain in my body, I went to the nursery and found Ruby mounting on Martin, her eyes hazy. "I've spent a month serving your wife. Do you have any idea how sick it made me whenever I cleaned up her afterbirth bleeding or changed the baby's diapers? You have to make it up to me." Hearing that, Martin casually grabbed a pillow and threw it into the crib. It landed squarely over Samson's crying face, and his cries instantly grew weaker. He clicked his tongue. "It's so noisy. Are you sure you want to do it here? Then I'll make sure you're satisfied." As I listened to the obscene sounds filling the room and Samson's cries growing weaker, I dug my nails into my palm and called Syntek Robotics. "Hello. I want to make a report. Your android's cognitive system is malfunctioning and refuses to obey her owner's instructions. If I remember correctly, you said androids like that had to be destroyed, didn't you?"
View MoreThe doctor told me, "Samson's doing alright now, but the fever lasted too long and may have affected his brain development. He'll need to stay in the hospital for observation. You can see him inside now but keep things quiet." I could not wait and ran into the room. I looked at my boy inside an incubator with tubes connected to his tiny body, my eyes filled with tears. Martin followed me inside and stared at Samson through the glass, then covered his face in anguish. "Get out," I said in a cold voice. "Celia, please give me a chance to make this up to you..." Martin said. But I simply raised my voice. "Get out! You don't deserve to be his father!" A nurse stepped in and asked Martin to leave. He looked at Samson one last time before walking out, crushed. - Three weeks later, Samson and I were finally discharged and we returned home. Martin did everything he could to prove he had changed. He dismissed all the nannies, learned how to care for a baby himself, and hired t
Ruby looked at Samson and me with disgust. The medical staff and the Syntek Robotics technicians froze, afraid to make a move. "You keep saying you love Martin, but you're threatening to kill his son?" I struggled to get the words out.Ruby threw her head back and laughed wildly. "That's because he doesn't care about the baby! He told me himself that if it isn't because he needs the baby to keep you and your family's fortune tied to him, he never would have wanted one! I'm the one he truly loves!" Martin struggled to his feet. "That's a lie. I never..." "Never?" Ruby sneered. "Then who pressed a pillow over the baby's head last night because he was crying too loudly? Who gave me permission to give him sleeping pills this morning? Who said Celia's body after giving birth was disgusting?" Then, Ruby looked at me smugly. "You heard it last night too, didn't you?" With every word, Martin's face grew paler and my heart broke a little more. Ruby was not the only reason I had suf
James pulled up another set of data as Ruby played victim. "There's also something wrong with Ruby's empathy matrix. "She has developed emotions beyond those we originally programmed into her and has become emotionally dependent on you, Mr. Summerland. In short, she has developed intense jealousy and hostility toward Celia and your son Samson." Ruby suddenly screamed. "It's not an error! I love Martin! I deserve him more than that woman does! She can't even manage the most basic task of caring for a baby! All she does is cry! Why should she get Martin all to herself?!" The terrifying sight of an android declaring her love for a human drew stunned stares from the medical staff and patients around us. Martin backed away in disbelief. "You're... You're just an android..." "So what if I'm an android?" Ruby's facial expression almost warped. "I can give you everything she can't! Flawless housekeeping, looks that will never fade, a body that will never change shape, and no postpart
The man's booming voice made Martin and Ruby freeze, and the two technicians behind him wore serious expressions. One of them nodded toward me. "This is James Smith." Martin frowned. "I thought this was already settled. Why are you all back?" James handed Martin a business card. "I'm Syntek's technical director. After receiving the report, we investigated further. The situation is far more complicated than it first appeared." Panic flickered across Ruby's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and moved closer to Martin. She gently said, "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding. I've been following my programming the entire time." James smiled coldly and pulled out a tablet. "Ruby is one of the latest nanny robots we've developed. According to our remote monitoring, she has already violated three directives programmed into her over the past twenty-four hours!" "What directives?" Martin asked urgently. James said, "First, do not harm humans. Second, obey your owner
