"Was it getting better?" The man on bed asked nervously.

"Yes, the wound certainly looks like it did. Controlling your diet certainly helped your wound to improve. Your diabetes is well controlled, it's great!" Evangeline assured her patient.

"There are still sticky- like yellow dead tissue, this product that I am placing on your wound now will help to clear them slowly. If they stay, they will hinder the healing process."

The patient appreciated Evangeline's detailed explanation and effort to allow him to understand his wound condition, he thanked her sincerely. Evangeline was almost done when she heard fart sounds.

Embarrassed, the patient looked away as he mumbled for a diaper change. Evangeline simply nodded and helped him with it after she was done with dressing change.

After Evangeline was done, she walked to the nurse counter as an idea struck her mind. She immediately looked for Manager Grace and bring up that it came to her mind that nurses' documentation may be subjective and not accurate, thus different nurses may have different opinion on the patient's wound condition. A picture speaks a thousand words, Evangeline suggested the use of technology, taking a picture of the wound. Not only it allows comparison, one can also consult another when in doubt of wound condition and it also speeds up documentation as it serves as a good reference.

Grace listened attentively then question, "we have patients of different background, I am sure not all of them are comfortable with having a photo of their skin condition or wound taken?"

"Of course it will not be a compulsory option, we can come up with a consent form. Hmm, we will explain to them the benefits and hopefully, they agree and sign the form. If not, we will respect their decision." Evangeline chewed her inner cheek nervously, as she waited for Grace's reaction.

"Start preparing the slides, then we will submit to the top management for approval." Evangeline was ecstatic, of course, Evangeline kept it cool and simply returned the smile back.

Evangeline was home with two envelopes, she carefully opens them up. In the first paper, she was offered 500k to kill the next in line of the well known Henderson Cooperation, which was the 8th most powerful Corporation in this country. Evangeline's hands quivered with excitement as she thought about the difficulty of the task. Top notch security... it seemed extremely tempting. However, Evangeline's eyes darkened as she reread the offer.

'6-year-old kid. How heartless. The 6-year-old kid probably did nothing and do not deserve to be killed.' Disgusted, she burned the offer letter.

The next offer was to kill Aston Twee, a young politician who seemed extremely outstanding but righteous, however, he was involved with the mafia for sex trafficking. No specific killing method requested, and the reward was 100k. One may think that Evangeline may reject the offer as the word 'mafia' was mentioned and it may involve her father. However, she actually had no clue about the mafia world as she stayed out of her father's mafia life. But how could a mafia boss be not involved? Of course, even if that was the case, this does not bother Evangeline. For Rose, she decided to accept the job.
