How to access a specific value of a lookup field via service client - early bound classes

Hello People,

I have been trying to access a specific follow of a lookup field, I am kind of new to Dynamic CRM, so my code might be a bit off. My coe is below. Thanks

//var orgContext = new MedinetCRMService(GetOrgService());

                new_hospital hospital = new new_hospital();
                hospital.new_AddressOne = HAddressTextBox.Text.ToString();
                hospital.new_name = HNameTextBox.Text.ToString();

            Account trust = new Account();
            QueryExpression trustQuery = new QueryExpression();
            trustQuery.EntityName = "account";
            trustQuery.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("name");
            trustQuery.Criteria.AddCondition(trust.Name, ConditionOperator.Equal, "BIRMINGHAM TRUST");

            Guid accountid = Guid.Empty;
            string accountName = "";
            EntityCollection Collection = Service().RetrieveMultiple(trustQuery);
            foreach (Account account in Collection.Entities)
            {
                accountid = account.Id;
               accountName = account.GetAttributeValue<string>("name");
            }


            
            //Account account = (Account)GetOrgService().Retrieve(trust.LogicalName, trustID, new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet("name"));
            CrmEntityReference trustid = new CrmEntityReference(trust.LogicalName, accountid);
            hospital.new_OwningTrustId = trustid;
            Service().Create(hospital);
            MessageBox.Show("succesfully added a hospital record");

I know, I am not meant to use retrieveMultiple at the first place. Thanks in advance
