Morris had said that the wish would be fulfilled so naturally that one might take it for a coincidence. How was Mr. White's wish for 200 granted?

As explained earlier by Morris, the wish that the Whites had made to receive 200 Pounds came to them so naturally that it seemed as a coincidence only. Mrs. and Mr. White had been waiting for their sum to arrive, not that eagerly though, and had been suppressing their anxiety since last night. But when the news of their son's death arrived, it left them devastated. The wish that they had asked for came true in the form of compensation for the service that Herbert had extended to his company, and reached in the hands of his parents after his death.

The money that the family had asked for definitely came to them, but with a cause, and not as their granted wish, and appeared very natural. There was a reason involved to it, and no one could see the money coming directly as a granted wish. With a heavy heart, the Whites has to accept the sum because it was not the money that they had asked for, but the price of their son's life.
