Chapter 9 I couldn't hide my injury from Daisy , who saw right through me . She was furious , angry that I didn't take better care of myself . All I could do was promise her that I'd never try to push myself like that again . Daisy sighed and gently coaxed me , " When you get better , I'll take you to see Mrs. Johnson , okay ? " I knew that she was lying . I wasn't going to get better . But I didn't want her to worry , so I smiled and nodded . I started taking my medicine obediently and cooperating with the doctors . Money was spent freely each day , but it didn't concern me . After all , it was Elton's money , and he owed me . Perhaps it was simply a final burst of clarity before I met the end . Over the next few days , even as my body hurt more and more , my mind felt sharper than ever . Word must have gotten out that I was doing better , which prompted Yvette to visit the hospital while Elton was away . The moment Daisy saw her , she snapped , " Who let a slut in here ? Get the hell out before I throw you out myself ! " But instead of leaving , Yvette suddenly dropped to her knees beside my bed , crying . " Hedy , I'm pregnant with Elton's child . Please ... Please give him back to us . Let our baby have their father . " She was one month pregnant . Elton kept saying that he couldn't live without me , but behind my back , he was still having an affair with Yvette . He really had been lying to me all along . Fortunately , I never fully trusted him . Yvette clung to my arm , sobbing and begging . I was so weak that I was nearly pulled off the bed . Suddenly , someone yanked her back by the hair and tore her away from me . Elton's eyes burned with fury . He looked like he could kill Yvette right then and there . He snarled , " Didn't I tell you that if ever dared to mess with Hedy again , I'd kill you ? "
