After sending off the adult webcam host, Blair returned to the hospital room and saw Ethan lying on the hospital bed. She sniffed the air and frowned slightly.
"What's up?" Ethan asked, looking puzzled as he held several stacks of envelopes—his earnings from the past few days.
"There's a weird smell." Blair glanced around and only saw a few crumpled toilet paper rolls in the trash can beside the bed.
"Cough, here, take this." Ethan changed the subject, aware of Blair's keen sense of smell. He pulled out a stack of dollars, totaling $1500.
"You can use it for whatever you want."
"No need, I'm not short on cash. Give this money to mom," Blair said, surprised, without reaching out to take it.
