While I might disregard him , I would never neglect Grandma . Grandma , are you sure Chloe hasnt called ? Luke pressed , desperate for some reassurance . Do I look like I would lie about this ? Grandmother snapped back , her frustration clear . At that moment , I watched as realization dawned on Luke . His face turned white and he seemed to be getting weak in the knees .
