in the book, Haydée is indeed a former slave, but she is the living proof allowing Edmond to shame the count of Morcef (current husband of Mercedes and one of the people that put him in the château d'if)

she is also the "safe place" of Edmond: as he been working on his vengeance for a decade, she represents the only person who he can be honest with and spend time peacefully. She stays in Edmond house almost all the time in the book.

Finally, she is the one who saves Edmond from killing himself after he completed all his vengeance, showing him that he can love and be loved after so many years of anger, bitterness, and vengeance.
