Maybe try to look at it this way...
The lecturer's son was going to get sick anyway for whatever reason.
The universe heard your intention and looked for the "quickest and easiest" way for you to run into your friend. Since this scenario of the sick child was already happening, the universe "used" it as the reason for you to miss class and therefore meet the friend.
It's possible to think of millions of other scenarios that could have happened...ex. you get sick and have to cut class and go to the drugstore and you meet the friend on the way back or something like that. But the universe saw this opportunity (the child being sick) and said "ahh...that will be the quickest and easiest way for this to happen".
Get what I mean?
