"Darwin illness was a protracted one. During this time he lay in the bed that eventually was his deathbed."
No, it wasn't. He didn't become bedridden until April. In December 1881, he and his wife were in London for the holidays. The Lady Hope encounter, if it happened at all, would have been in October, two months before any indication of illness. There is no indication of any illness before December 15th. It went away. In February to April, he had more frequent chest pains. Even so, on April 16-17th he was well enough to go for a walk. He died on the 19th, with his family at his side.
"The recant took place while Darwin lay in his deathbed. And by that it does not mean that he recanted in his last hours, only that he recanted on a given day during Lady Hope visits while he lay in his."
You said before the recantation was during the hours before his death. You are digging yourself even deeper into a hole of your own making.

What really happened is that Lady Hope seduced Darwin, and afterwords he exclaimed: "Oh, how I regret what I have done!" But she was so demented that she misunderstood.
