In the book, the woman didn't have a kid. Instead, she turned out to be one of them. They evolved to be able to come out in the sun and operate like humans. (In fact, in the book, the entire time they are able to speak English.) So, she left after a period of time and he was broken into by the creatures because she told them how. He was captured and taken to their HQ. There he was imprisoned because he had attacked them when they came for him. They weren't going to hurt him. She gives him a cyanide tablet and tells him its for the best. He takes it and looks out the window. He sees them erecting their new society and realizes that he's the last of his kind. The virus hasn't taken people's humanity, it's evolved humanity and he's left behind. A relic. A legend. He concludes as he dies that "I Am Legend"
