Kelly brought the two children to visit Gary, but only Connor was home.

It even emerged that the medical team's kidnapping during a peacekeeping mission years ago was also his fault. He had intentionally sold the medical team to Oasisvale.

Because many war zones in Oasisvale lacked medical resources, and training a doctor in Drakonia takes five to eleven years or even longer, most of the elite members from Seaville Hospital's infectious disease department had been in that medical team, which was sold to Lucas by Beau.
