Yes, he must tell Adeline, she had every right to know. It was completely wrong of him to keep her in the dark.

If he could possibly leave her in the dark forever, so long as it meant she'd be with him all his life, he would. But the guilt could never allow him to do so. He hated watching her in so much distress, unable to understand the unusual things about him or even her own feelings.
