Wait, what does he mean "take care of your mother" ? As in taking care of her in the hereafter or as a guardian angel?

As a guardian angel ig. It was because the FL got pregnant again in the end/side stories.
That would have been awesome to see in the manhwa. Why did they cut that? I still don’t like him and I still don’t think they should get back together but I would have loved to see him actually acknowledge and grieve his child.
As others have mentioned, it was a period where the ML's priority was getting the FL better, and talking about miscarriage with a person who's emotionally and mentally broken wouldn't do them any good - the FL would just probably respond by saying it's all her fault or she deserved it.
Also an excerpt from the novel:
To honor the child who had vanished from the world without a trace, Ezekiel brought back stones and soil from the detention camp where Lisanne had miscarried, and at the Valdemaira family mausoleum, he raised a small headstone. When Lisanne slept peacefully at night, Ezekiel sat before the nameless stone, head bowed, repeating again the countless apologies he had made until now.
“Your father truly did wrong. I don’t deserve forgiveness. You can hate me, but please, just take care of your mother.”
