The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Having no other choice, A-Yi had to let A-Yong hold his master up while he went to find Wen Xiaoman, who had also fallen into the water.

Fortunately, the guards' rescue boat arrived in time and pulled them all out of the water.

However, due to inhaling a large amount of seawater and his own pre-existing condition, Qiao Sinian was already unconscious when he was pulled from the water and was immediately sent to the emergency room.

I heard that Qiao Sinian jumped off a cliff to save Xiaoman, disregarding his own safety, and even on the verge of death, he was still worried about Xiaoman's safety, which ultimately led to his own dangerous situation, and he is currently being rescued...

The atmosphere, which had just eased slightly because Wen Xiaoman was alright, instantly became tense again.

Su Yutang, the four little treasures, and Qin Wanshuang all fell silent, their feelings complicated.

He frowned even more when he thought about Qiao Sinian's poor health.

Su Yutang frowned and asked, "Does Xiaoman know about Qiao Sinian's situation now?"

The subordinate quickly shook his head: "Miss Wen doesn't know yet."

Qin Wanshuang pressed further, "What about Xiaoman? Where is she now?"

"Miss Wen is in the VIP ward. She should be awake now, but she's still a little weak. I'll take you there." The subordinate led the way.

Qin Wanshuang and Su Yutang nodded, and with their four little ones, they followed their subordinates quickly toward Wen Xiaoman's ward.

Inside the ward, Wen Xiaoman lay quietly on the hospital bed, an IV drip in the back of her hand, the clear medicine slowly being injected into her veins.

Her cheeks were flushed from the high fever, her lips were chapped, her eyes were closed, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was not sleeping peacefully. She was unconsciously calling out, "Si Nian..."

As she got closer, Su Yutang noticed that even in her unconscious state, Wen Xiaoman's right hand was clenched tightly, as if she were holding something extremely important.

Su Yutang was curious and tried to gently pry open her fingers to take a look, but found that she was clenching them very tightly.

Qin Wanshuang bent down, close to her younger sister, and seeing her weak appearance, her eyes instantly reddened. Her voice choked with sobs as she softly called out, "Xiaoman... Xiaoman? Can you hear your sister?"

Perhaps it was the familiar and gentle voice that made Wen Xiaoman's long eyelashes flutter a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurry at first, but when she saw the two worried faces in front of the bed, she paused, then widened her eyes in surprise: "Sister, Tangtang, you... why are you here?"

Su Yutang held the hand that wasn't receiving the IV drip, her voice filled with lingering fear: "We heard you had an accident, so we rushed over."

Wen Xiaoman struggled to sit up: "I'm fine..."

But as soon as she propped herself up a little, a wave of dizziness hit her, making her vision go black and almost causing her to fall back down. Fortunately, Qin Wanshuang caught her in time.

"Don't move!" Qin Wanshuang pressed her down, her voice trembling with tears. "The doctor said you caught a chill, have a high fever, and are still on an IV drip. Just lie still and don't move."

Seeing their worried expressions, Wen Xiaoman's heart softened, and she emphasized again, "I'm really fine..."

"You still say you're fine!"

Qin Wanshuang finally couldn't hold back her tears, her heart aching terribly. Even when scolding, she dared not say a harsh word. "They all told me that you couldn't bear it and jumped into the sea, Xiaoman. Are you stupid? It's just a man. Since Qiao Sinian married someone else, I'll take care of you from now on. You still have me, and you still have Xiao Ayan. How could you be so foolish? If you're really gone, what will I do? I've already lost you once, and I really... I really can't bear to lose you a second time..."

By the end, Qin Wanshuang was sobbing uncontrollably.

Wen Xiaoman stared blankly at her sister, who was crying bitterly, feeling a pang of sadness mixed with emotion.

She knew her sister truly loved her, but...

She gently shook her head and explained, "Sister, Tangtang, you've really misunderstood."

She looked at them, her eyes weak but with a hint of clarity: "I wasn't thinking of doing anything rash. I just saw a beautiful little blue flower blooming in the sea and wanted to pick it..."

She paused, then added to Qin Wanshuang, "Besides, you know I've been a good swimmer since I was little. Even if you threw me into the sea, I'd be fine."

After saying that, Wen Xiaoman seemed afraid that they would not believe that she was not trying to commit suicide, so she painstakingly opened her tightly clenched hand, revealing the small blue flower inside that had already wilted a bit.

"Look, I went to pick this. Isn't it pretty?"

That flower truly possessed a unique and fragile beauty; even with its blue petals somewhat tattered, one could still imagine its captivating beauty as it swayed in the sea.

But in Qin Wanshuang and Su Yutang's eyes, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, what is more important than human life?

Qin Wanshuang felt a sharp pain in her heart, wanting to express all her lingering fears, but she was afraid of upsetting her younger sister who had just woken up. In the end, she said nothing, simply turning her head away and silently shedding tears.

Su Yutang's brows furrowed even more deeply.

She looked at Wen Xiaoman and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoman, you are fine, but Qiao Sinian is in trouble."

The faint light on Wen Xiaoman's face froze instantly. She abruptly raised her head and looked at Su Yutang: "You... what did you say?"

Su Yutang knew she didn't know the truth, so she told her, "After you jumped, Qiao Sinian jumped after you."

Wen Xiaoman's breath hitched.

Su Yutang continued, each word like a heavy hammer: "He can't swim, but he still jumped in after you, Xiaoman. Do you know what that means? If you die, he doesn't want to live either."

Although she couldn't bear it, she still voiced the worst possibility: "He's currently unconscious in the emergency room. The doctor says his condition is extremely dangerous, and he may never wake up again..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaoman froze.

She stared wide-eyed at Su Yutang, as if trying to find evidence on her face that this was a nightmare.

But Su Yutang's face only showed a heavy, undeniable truth.

The little blue flower she was clutching in her palm slipped from her suddenly weakened fingers and fell onto the snow-white sheets.

Wen Xiaoman didn't believe it.

When she went to the beach, shouldn't Qiao Sinian have been in that ancient castle, amidst everyone's blessings, marrying his bride who was his equal?

How could he suddenly appear at the beach?

How could he possibly... do something as foolish as jumping into the sea for her?

Wen Xiaoman was completely unaware of what happened afterward.

All she remembered was picking the little blue flower and then being pulled onto a speedboat.

She was feeling dizzy at the time, and once she got on the boat, she fell asleep without any remorse, completely unaware of what happened afterward.

She had no idea that at the moment she fell into the sea, Joss Nian would follow her and jump in, knowing full well that he couldn't swim, yet still jumping in without hesitation.

Despite a voice inside her desperately denying it, she panicked the moment she heard Su Yutang tell the truth.

In fact, the body reacts even before the mind does.

She got out of bed, ripped the IV needle off the back of her hand, and rushed out of the ward, completely ignoring Su Yutang and Qin Wanshuang calling her.
