If he really was in love with her, the events ater the accident would not have happened at all. He got engaged immediately, didn't bother about her existence for 4 years, and might have been forever if she didn't come back to France.... and he wouldn't get back to her if he didn't find out he had a son. Telling her he still loves her is really stretching it , and tbh, she shouldn't have readily accepted him.
Um, he was no where near the accident, so it still would have happened. And he got engaged 3 months before the FL showed up again, so nearly 4 years after the accident. But you got everything else right.
