In fact, when she was very young, she also encountered a similar danger.

In truth, that danger from back then, compared to the peril she faced at this moment, could be said to be a small matter blown out of proportion. It wasn’t a serious threat, but for her, who had just entered the first year of senior high school, it was a terrifying event.

During the final term leading up to the middle school exam, Ruby Gregory had her first period. It was a hot summer afternoon. Ruby was wearing a beautiful light-blue dress, with white lotus scallops at the hem. Her long, straight hair draped gently over her nape. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the buzz-cut boyish Madeleine, dressed in a men’s suit on the campus, they attracted quite a few glances. Only, that day, an unusual number of people seemed to be watching her.

Since entering seventh grade, the term ‘puppy love’ became popular. Ruby frequently found love letters and small gifts wrapped in pink and light blue envelopes in her drawer. Hence, she was already used to attention and didn’t mind it.

When she entered the class, several people called her name and then hesitated to speak further.

At that time, she was completely perplexed, with no idea what was going on. Thus, she carried her bewilderment and settled at her desk to start the class.

During that period, Madeleine was immersed in an online game called “The Journey to the West.” Often staying up late with Edward Woods and Howard Coleman, leveling up, hence when they reached school, they would stack books high on the table and fall asleep until the school was dismissed.

So during breaks, Ruby often went to the bathroom alone.

At that time, the school wasn’t equipped like it is today, with a bathroom on every floor. During the time they were in school, a two-story bathroom was built on the sports field. During breaks, countless students would pour out from the teaching building and flock to the field.

Unfortunately, today, Ruby chose to go to the bathroom during the long break. The number of people in the sports field was like all the students gathering there for the Monday morning flag-raising ceremony.

Wherever Ruby went, people were always looking at the hem of her dress, whispering to each other.

Ruby had no idea what was happening. She saw the vague expressions on everyone’s faces as if they were trying to suppress their laughter, and she walked into the bathroom.

The bathroom was quite crowded, Ruby had to queue up. The girl standing behind her was someone she did not know. When it was Ruby’s turn, when she was ready to use the bathroom, that girl tapped her shoulder blushing, pointing to her dress.

Feeling a bit puzzled, Ruby gave that girl a glance and entered a separate cubicle. When she took off her panties, she found that her cotton pink underwear was draped with splashes of fresh red.

She was first taken aback, then it occurred to her that people had been staring at her all day. She only understood when she reached over and flipped the back of her skirt to the front, and saw large patches of red on it. Some of it was already dry and blackened.

She had actually bled so much…

The first thought that crossed Ruby’s mind was that she had an incurable disease.

She squatted in the bathroom for a long time, wishing that her bleeding would stop soon.

The school bell rang, and the disorderly restroom quieted down in an instant.

Yet, she found that her bleeding was still uncontrolled. There were even large clots of blood flowing out of her body.
