My Superstar System

Remove My Mom From Your Mouth.

"Doctor! Nurses... come over, my mom is awake!” Zach shouted.

He was so happy, everything felt like a dream.

Shortly after, the doctor came in with a few nurses.

Something felt off. The healthy flush on Zach’s mother’s face was too obvious to ignore, especially for the doctor who had spent half a day operating on her.

Something’s not right, the doctor thought.

“Check her vitals,” he instructed a nearby nurse.

Zach, who was still hugging his mom, shifted slightly. He was curious too—was she really healed?

After a few minutes, the nurses' expressions changed. They looked stunned.

The doctor raised an eyebrow when he noticed.

“She’s... al... right,” one of the nurses said, her hands trembling. She had been part of the surgical team and knew the woman’s condition well.

Even the stitches were nearly healed, omething that would normally take months. She couldn’t believe her eyes.

“What do you mean by ‘alright’?” the doctor asked, stepping forward.

He examined the woman and his expression twisted in disbelief.

“What?” the doctor exclaimed.

“This... this...”

He stammered, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. In all his years as a doctor, he’d never seen anything like it.

“Is something wrong?” Zach asked, his face troubled.

“Nothing—nothing at all. Your mom is completely healed. It’s like magic. She won’t even need crutches,” the doctor said.

“This is insane,” one of the nurses blurted out.

“Truly insane,” the doctor muttered, glancing at Zach strangely. Something about this didn’t sit right with him, but he couldn’t figure out what.

“Because of this miraculous recovery, I’m clearing your bill. You won’t need to pay a thing, and she can be discharged today,” the doctor said.

“Doctor...” the nurses were stunned. This was a first.

“Don’t,” the doctor raised a hand, cutting them off.

Zach was overwhelmed with joy. He knew how outrageous Ivory Hospital’s bills were. Clearing a bill that massive was a huge relief, especially since neither he nor his mother had a dime to spare.

“Doctor, I can’t thank you enough,” Zach’s mom said with a smile. Her beauty, even now, clearly showed how stunning she must have been in her youth.

Just then, something clicked in Zach’s mind. He looked at the timer.

0:49

The lucky tablet was still active.

No wonder, Zach thought. All of this luck, the cleared hospital bill, it wasn’t normal. It was that ridiculous boost of luck working at full force.

“Enjoy your time together,” the doctor said as he left Zach and his mom alone.

“Mom, I love you so much. Where were you rushing to that got you into an accident? I thought you were supposed to be at work at that hour,” Zach asked after the doctor left.

His mom's expression changed,. “The landlord gave us a quit notice. We have a month to move out.”

She paused, then continued, “So I was hurrying over to beg him.”

Zach’s expression changed.

They had been in debt for that apartment for a long time, maybe the landlord had finally run out of patience.

Chime. Chime.

The timer on the lucky tablet expired.

“Let’s get out of here first. We’ll figure something out,” Zach said after a long silence, seeing the sadness on his mother’s face.

“I wish your dad was still here... the government isn’t doing much anymore,” she said softly.

Zach’s face fell at the mention of “dad.” He had lost his father two years ago.

They hadn’t always lived like this. They weren’t rich, but they were comfortable. His dad had been a soldier and died in a war. After his death, like vultures, Zach’s uncles swooped in and took everything. They were left with nothing but each other.

The government offered Zach a scholarship, but that was all.

Now, even basic survival was a struggle and with the eviction notice, their home was at risk too.

Zach safely got his mom home, then headed to school.

Just as he reached the school gate, a car zoomed past him. It was a Bugatti Chiron, very familiar. The car stopped beside him and the window rolled down.

Inside, he saw a familiar face, that young guy. Then, beside him, he spotted Jane.

Zach’s mood instantly soured.

“Hey, Zach! Jane told me a lot about you. I’m Timothy, but my guys call me Tim,” the boy said with a smile.

“Oh,” Zach replied, uninterested, and kept walking.

“Hey, I’m talking to you!” Tim snapped, irritated that Zach didn’t stop.

Zach kept walking, ignoring him.

“You really have balls, don’t you?” Tim barked as he got out of the car, his voice rising.

By now, a small crowd had gathered.

Zach still said nothing and kept walking.

“Well, you sure know how to piss me off. Your mom must be stupid to give birth to you,” Tim spat.

Zach froze. His expression changed immediately.

He turned around slowly.

“What did you just say?”

“I said, your mom must be stupid to give birth to you. What are you gonna do about it?” Tim said with a smug grin.

Jane, still in the car, frowned. She knew Zach very well and insulting his mom was the fastest way to get on his bad side. it was the fastest way to get him angry.

“This is bad,” she muttered and quickly opened the car door.

But it was already too late.

Punch!

Zach’s fist landed squarely on Tim’s face, sending him stumbling backward.

Jane was stunned and rushed out of the car.

“Zach!” she called, shocked.

Zach glared at Tim, then at Jane.

“Don’t ever bring my mom into your mouth,” he said coldly, turning to leave.

The crowd had their phones out, recording the scene.

“You’re going to regret this!” Tim shouted.

Zach didn’t look back.

Jane moved to help Tim up, but he shoved her hand away. Furious, he stormed into his car and drove off.
