"Mr. Ludlow, Jacob knows a lot in medicine. In fact, he was the one who cured my sickness!" Bill told Gene proudly.
Jacob would become his son-in-law eventually, so he took pride in the young man's capabilities.
"Is that so? I couldn't tell since he's so young!"
Gene did not take Bill's words seriously. In his opinion, excelling in medicine would take years. As Jacob seemed like he was only in his twenties, he deemed it unthinkable for him to be a medical expert. Nevertheless, he did not retort Bill.
Just then, Hazel said to Bill, "McMillan, please stay for lunch. I'm going to cook now."
Bill immediately responded, "Mrs. Ludlow, there's no need for the trouble—"
"McMillan, it's not an inconvenience at all. Here, take a seat and play two rounds of chess with me. And let's drink during lunch!" interjected Gene, waving his hands at him.
Upon seeing that, Bill did not reject anymore. He sat down and started playing chess with Gene.
