Caroline, who was deemed to be in a vegetative state by doctors, had regained consciousness briefly after several acupuncture sessions by the genius doctor, Wynn Even though she was only awake for less than a minute, as long as she had woken up the first time, she would surely wake up again.
Moreover, during Caroline's brief awakening, she uttered a sentence, "Don't hurt Willow."
