The diagnosis

Zack walked into his room and found Chloe still browsing on her laptop. She looked up and saw Zack.

"So, were there any medicine?"

"Uh, yeah. I also brought a thermometer to check your temperature..."

"Thanks! Let's take my temperature first."

"Uhh...Chloe...it's not a regular thermometer."

Chloe gave Zack a confused look. "What do you mean by that?"

Zack nervously said, "It's a different type...it's a rectal thermometer." His face immediately turned crimson as he looked at Chloe for a response.

Chloe looked shocked for a few seconds. A few seconds later, she also blushes and just replied, "Oh...um...what do we do now?"

Zack stated, "This is the only thermometer in the house. It's the only way to know for sure about your temperature. Then, we can monitor it in case I need to take you to the hospital."

Chloe silently stared at her hands for about a minute until she looked up at Zack and opened her mouth.
