"I... I've never told anyone about my family affairs." Max looked at the coffee in her hand, her voice low as if talking to herself.
"My surname, Connor, still carries some weight in Wyoming."
"My grandfather, Alister Connor, was a former governor of Wyoming, and one of the influential elders of the Republican Party in the Western Mountain Area."
"My mother was his only daughter. And my father..." She paused, a complex emotion emerging in her voice, "a cowboy from an ordinary herding family."
The intertwining of prominent and ordinary backgrounds left Lin Yu'an feeling a bit surprised as well.
He had never imagined that this young female doctor, who always wore a research coat and loved to complain, actually came from a family that truly combined politics and grassroots.
Max's voice carried a hint of sadness: "My parents passed away in a shooting incident when I was in high school."
"It was my grandparents who raised me, always hoping I would inherit his political legacy."
