System: Womb for Womb Chapter 10
I followed Ruby to the hospital and told the doctor I was her roommate. I explained that her medical report had been misplaced and asked if I could get a new copy printed.The doctor was busy. Seeing that I had provided the correct details about Ruby, she didn't ask any further questions. Without delay, she pulled up Ruby's records and handed me the printed report.To my surprise, it showed that Ruby had contracted syphilis.I left the hospital with the report in hand and created a new account to post on the campus forum."Attention, everyone! I have something important to share. Ruby Winslow, who's known for her promiscuity, has now contracted an STD. Male students, stay away from her and don't fall for her lies."I attached a photo of the medical report.After everything was sorted, I made myself comfortable, waiting for the moderators to give the green light to my post.By 7:00 pm, I saw multiple new posts flooding the forum. Among the usual love-struck confessions, mine stoo

After class, I made my usual trip to the library. I planned to borrow a few books to read in my dorm.When I reached a corner on the first floor, I caught sight of Ruby and Daniel whispering to each other. Both of them looked unusually tense.Driven by curiosity, I carefully inched closer to catch their conversation.Agitated, Daniel grabbed Ruby's hand. "Didn't you say that any pregnancies or illnesses you might have would transfer to Victoria? How could this happen?"Tears started to fall from Ruby's eyes. "I don't understand why this is happening either. The bracelet was on her wrist. Logically, she should've been the one to get pregnant. When I put the bracelet on her at the hospital, I had a feeling my mom's connection to my womb wasn't completely severed. As long as I got pregnant, the child could transfer to either of them."But since my mom is dead, the child should've gone to Victoria. So why is it still in my belly?"I covered my mouth in shock. Despite knowing the risk

"Don't worry. Mrs. Winslow is already at the hospital, so she'll be fine. Let me know if you need anything. I'll do what I can." To make it more believable, I gripped the edge of the couch and pretended to gag.Ruby was quiet for a few seconds. "It's okay. If you're not feeling well, just stay home and rest."After ending the call, I placed a hand on my round belly. It was true; leaving wasn't practical. My stomach was stuffed with fried chicken and cornbread.That afternoon, Ruby posted an obituary on her social media. Mrs. Winslow had passed away. She took some time off to return home and handle the funeral arrangements.Once everything was settled, Ruby posted a quote. "Perhaps it's all for the best."I was left bewildered. Her reaction didn't sit right with me.When Ruby returned from the funeral, she seemed drained, and her temper became more unpredictable with each passing day. Her favorite tight-fitting clothes suddenly didn't fit the way they used to.She convinced herse

Weeks slipped away in the blink of an eye.Ruby's mission to date a hundred guys had already gone well past the halfway mark.In her dorm room, she hung a canvas featuring a countdown from one to 100. Every time she "conquered" someone new, she crossed off another number.Not only was Ruby sleeping with different men frequently, but she also refused to use any protection. Whenever anyone reminded her, she'd merely respond with mockery and disdain. At that pace, getting pregnant was almost unavoidable.I couldn't forget the doctors' constant warnings.Mrs. Winslow's body was no longer strong enough to carry a child safely. Another pregnancy could very well cost her life.That afternoon, Ruby took a nap in the dorm. During her video call with Mrs. Winslow, I noticed her voice growing faint, her words slipping out in strained whispers.A pang of pity welled up inside me. Ruby might be detestable, but Mrs. Winslow was truly innocent. Even so, I didn't know how to step in. If the tru

Ruby waited in the surgery room for a grueling eight hours. After the long wait, the fetuses in Mrs. Winslow's womb were finally removed. Though the doctors had done everything in their power, Mrs. Winslow was left with serious complications.When she came out of the ward, her face was completely drained of color.The doctor repeatedly stressed, "Mrs. Winslow's body is no longer able to carry a pregnancy. She must be very careful. It's best for her to avoid any sexual activity for the next six months."Ruby nodded, though her eyes remained dark and unreadable.With Mr. Winslow refusing to take care of Mrs. Winslow, Ruby had no choice but to take a week off from classes to care for her during her recovery.For an entire week, I didn't have to listen to Ruby's constant chatter about her latest flings. Life felt serene.Meanwhile, Mrs. Winslow's two consecutive pregnancies and abortions were impossible to keep under wraps. Her relatives and friends couldn't help but gossip, speculat

After returning to the ward, Ruby no longer brought up the idea of going to another hospital for further tests. Instead, she began trying to convince her parents to abort the babies.Having already been betrayed, Mr. Winslow was boiling with anger. His expression soured, and he looked like he could rip someone apart with his bare hands.If this weren't a hospital full of people, I had no doubt he would've beaten both Ruby and Mrs. Winslow senseless.After Ruby left, I reached for the crystal bracelet around my wrist, only to find it clinging to me as if it had grown tendrils. No matter how hard I tugged, it wouldn't come off.A chill ran down my spine. Ruby's system was definitely behind this. But as long as I uncovered the truth behind it, breaking free wouldn't be impossible.I paid a hefty sum to find a new-age guru who specialized in energy crystals. The moment he laid eyes on the bracelet on my wrist, his brows furrowed. "This bracelet is no ordinary trinket. Whoever used it
