"WHY DID I COME HERE again?" Austin mumbled to himself as he watched his parents embrace each other

"WHY DID I COME HERE again?" Austin mumbled to himself as he watched his parents embrace each other. At least it wasn't something else.

Austin coughed awkwardly, making his presence known.

"I'm glad you're alive," Austin deadpaned, "But the next time I enter in a room, please maintain two feet of distance."

But... they were just embracing each other.

"We didn't—"

"I don't care," Austin mused before walking out of the door as quickly as he came in.

He didn't have it. Neither did Austin, Luc or Dante. Leo has the same blood type, but with his hypertension it was likely that the hospital won't let him donate.

Sandro paced aimlessly in the bland hallways, his mind running a million miles ahead— thinking of anything that could be useful.

His uncle had A positive blood and so did Javier. They weren't particularly useful here.

Who else had AB negative blood?
