"Monroe, are you okay?" Mary asked again.
There was no answer.
Mary held the door handle and said as she twisted it, "Can I come in and see you?"
Mary walked into the room, and it was dark inside.
She opened the first curtain, and light came in through the white screen window.
Only then did Mary see clearly that Monroe was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face flushed.
Mary felt that something was wrong and went forward to touch his forehead.
"You have a fever?"
Mary immediately got up to find the first aid kit and took Monroe's temperature first.
104°F! How could have such a high temperature?
Mary immediately lifted the quilt and wanted to cool Monroe down first, but who knew that...under the quilt, Monroe was only wearing a pair of underwear!
It was a pair of black boxer briefs with white edges.
